Closing Time: Welcome back, Cameron Maybin

Cameron Maybin spent the first six weeks of the regular season and most of his spring on the disabled list, recovering first from a fractured wrist, then a shoulder issue. Maybin finally returned to action for Detroit on Monday, starting in center and batting seventh. Like all Tigers batters, he took part in the early pummeling of Twins starter Jose Berrios (0.2 IP, 3 H, 7 R, 4 BB), then he continued to reach base against left-hander Pat Dean. When all the numbers were in — and Detroit had narrowly avoided losing a game they should have controlled — Maybin had gone 2-for-2 with a walk a stolen base and one run scored.

Not such a bad 2016 debut.

Most of you are well aware of the 29-year-old Maybin's various strengths and limitations, so we won't waste time with a full bio. We'll just remind you that Maybin has a 40-steal season on his resume (23 last season) and he's not a total liability in terms of power. He cleared the fence 10 times for Atlanta in 2015. If you're a fantasy owner seeking a speed boost, he can certainly help. Maybin is only owned in 7 percent of Yahoo leagues at the moment, so he's available to most of you.

Anthony Gose was optioned to Toledo when Maybin arrived, so he can't hurt us anymore.

• Sticking with that weird Minnesota-Detroit box score, you'll note that Eduardo Nunez went 2-for-5 with one RBI and his seventh steal of the season, batting second for the Twins. He raised his season slash to .333/.375/.471. Nunez carries SS/3B eligibility, so he's a useful bench piece.

• Adam Duvall homered again for Cincinnati, his fifth bomb in his last 12 games. Duvall delivered a pair of 30-homer seasons in the minors, so his power surge is no fluke. Our Rotoworld friends discussed him in greater detail over here. You shouldn't expect Duvall to hit for average, but the pop will continue.

• Marcell Ozuna extended his hitting streak to 16 games when he homered off Jerad Eickhoff in Philly. Ozuna is slashing a ridiculous .417/.435/.683 so far in May, with four homers and 10 RBIs. He remains un-owned in 30 percent of Yahoo leagues.

• How sad are the Braves? So sad that Jon Niese struck out six Atlanta batters over six innings, allowing just two runs. NIESE! The Pittsburgh left-hander lowered his WHIP to a still-terrible 1.54. Stream against Atlanta whenever possible, you guys.

• Steve Pearce went 2-for-4 with a walk, one homer and three RBIs against the Jays on Monday, as Tampa Bay absolutely hammered J.A. Happ and friends. Pearce has gone 7-for-22 with three home runs over his last six games, and he's reaching base at a .370 clip for the season. He also carries unusual position eligibility (1B/2B/OF), which bumps his value.

• Oakland left-hander Sean Manaea was finally less awful, earning a win over Texas, allowing just four hits and one run over 6.2 innings. He's done very little to this point to inspire confidence among fantasy owners, but that guy piled up Ks in the minors (257 in 214.0 IP). He remains a name for the watch-list.

• Fernando Salas earned a save for the Angels on Monday, pitching a clean inning against the Dodgers. Joe Smith was unavailable, having pitched in three straight games. Not much to see here. No action required.
