San Diego Padres

Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko is on fire after a rough start to the season.

Gyorko hit .247/.317/.323 in April but is hitting .310/.375/.586 in May. Gyorko was starting to show signs of effectiveness in late April, with eight hits in his final four games that month. 

Fantasy owners may have dropped Gyorko after a poor start, but he seems to have turned things around. Gyorko is owned in 72 percent of leagues, but he's a must-add for owners who need help in the middle infield or at third base.

Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera is striking out less this year.

Strikeouts have been a significant issue for Cabrera over his career. His 22 percent strikeout rate has depressed his batting average the past four years, preventing him from being a viable Fantasy option in shallow leagues. 

Cabrera has managed to drop his strikeout rate to 19.7 percent. He's hitting .257/.342/.351 in 171 at-bats. He's also has 18 steals.

Padres outfielder Will Venable went deep for the sixth time this season during Sunday's series finale against the Nationals.

Venable uncorked a solo home run in the fifth off starter Dan Haren and doubled in a run in the seventh. He finished 2 for 5 with a run scored and two RBI in a 13-4 victory.

Venable is hitting .217 (5 for 23) with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in his last five games played. He has a .237/.308/.441 in 118 at-bats.

Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera enjoyed another productive performance as he stole a base in his fifth consecutive game Sunday afternoon against the Nationals.

Cabrera singled in the first and the seventh. He stole two bases and finished 2 for 6 with two runs scored and two RBI in a 13-4 victory. He leads the majors with 17 stolen bags.

Cabrera has a .257/.342/.351 slash line with two homers and 15 RBI in 171 at-bats.

Padres outfielder Kyle Blanks reached base twice as he launched his third home run of the season Sunday afternoon against the Nationals.

Blanks took starter Dan Haren deep for a two-run home run in the fifth inning. He finished 1 for 3 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in a 13-4 victory.

Blanks is hitting .308 (4 for 13) with two homers and five RBI in his last four games.
