Josh Hamilton - OF - Texas Rangers

Josh Hamilton was given IV fluids and oxygen after hitting a walkoff homer Saturday against the Blue Jays.

It was over 90 degrees for much of the four-and-a-half hour game and Hamilton has been fighting through a respiratory infection. He might be rested on Sunday.

Ernesto Frieri - R - Los Angeles Angels

Ernesto Frieri earned his second save of the season in Saturday's victory over the Mariners.

Frieri entered in the eighth inning and struck out three of the five batters he faced before slapping hands with his teammates after a pretty smooth ninth. He now boasts a 22/7 K/BB ratio in 10 innings since joining the Angels and has a real opportunity to run away with Anaheim's ninth-inning role. The Halos are suddenly in second place in the American League West standings.

Albert Pujols - 1B - Los Angeles Angels

Albert Pujols hit his seventh home run of the season in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Mariners.

It's his fourth dinger in the last five games and propelled his RBI total up to 26. Pujols had a miserable April but seems to be coming alive here in late May. He is capable of raking at a top-tier rate for the rest of this summer.

Fernando Rodney - R - Tampa Bay Rays

Fernando Rodney blew his first save of the season in Saturday night's loss to the Red Sox.

Rodney promptly walked Daniel Nava after entering a 2-1 game, then surrendered a walkoff two-run blast to Jarrod Saltalamacchia. The 35-year-old right-hander has been fantastic this season, so much so that a bit of regression had to be expected. He remains a top tier fantasy option at closer.

Kyle Kendrick - S - Philadelphia Phillies

Kyle Kendrick tossed the first shutout of his career in Saturday's 4-0 defeat of the Cardinals.

Kendrick yielded seven hits, but he didn't walk a batter and struck out four while throwing 70 of his 94 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has now pitched well in three straight outings and may be worth scooping up in deeper mixed fantasy leagues for his next start against Miami.

Zach Britton - S - Baltimore Orioles

Zach Britton (shoulder) went five innings Saturday in his first rehab start at Double-A Bowie.

Britton allowed two runs but they were both unearned. He struck out six. The 24-year-old left-hander could be ready to join the O's after just one more rehab outing.

Heath Bell - R - Miami Marlins

Heath Bell was pulled from another save opportunity in Saturday's game against the Giants.

The struggling Bell started the ninth inning with a comfortable 5-2 lead. He gave up a leadoff single, induced a line-drive out and then walked two straight Giants. At that point, manager Ozzie Guillen had seen enough and turned to Randy Choate, who nailed down the save. Bell has now been removed from two straight save chances, putting him on very thin ice once again.
