All Player News
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17
    Eovaldi authored a dominant performance in this one, registering an eye-popping 23 swinging strikes, while scattering just four hits and one walk over seven brilliant frames. The 34-year-old veteran righty remains a quality fantasy contributor on a per-start basis and holds a sparkling 1.38 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 11/2 K/BB ratio across 13 innings (two starts) this season. He’s in line for an extremely tasty matchup on Tuesday against the floundering Athletics in Arlington.
  • ARI Starting Pitcher #23
    Scott McGough, Ryan Thompson and Bryce Jarvis finished off the 7-0 victory. Gallen’s velocity is still a bit off and he got just four missed swings on 96 pitches tonight, but the results were again excellent. We’re still somewhat down on him for the season, even if he is 2-0 with a 0.82 ERA at the moment.
  • CWS Relief Pitcher #45
    Crochet was solid through his first three innings, striking out five of the first 10 batters he faced while allowing only one walk. His lone blemish came on a solo home run by Marcell Ozuna in the seventh inning, but Crochet now has a sparkling 1.38 ERA and 16/1 K/BB ratio through 13 innings. The central question for fantasy managers is how he’ll hold up with a starter’s workload over a full season, but he’s off to a phenomenal start. He’ll take the ball on Sunday at home against the Royals.
  • PHI Right Fielder #3
    This is exactly why we don’t overreact to small sample sizes as Harper came into the night 0-for-13 to start the season. It’s safe to say he was seeing the ball well tonight. Harper’s first home run was 107.7 mph off the bat and traveled 420 feet and while his second one was a more modest 367 feet at 103.3 off the bat, he ended the night with a 422-foot bomb that was 108.3 mph. Even his out was a 100 mph lineout. Yeah, he’s gonna be just fine.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #37
    Both teams sat around for a couple hours in a lengthy rain delay on Tuesday evening with the hope of eventually getting this contest in, but it didn’t end up happening. It’ll be made up on Thursday afternoon instead. Tuesday’s original starting pitchers -- Casey Mize and Adrian Houser -- will presumably be pushed back to take the ball on Wednesday afternoon instead, weather permitting.
  • MIL Second Baseman #2
    With a league-leading six thefts in just five contests to open the season, Turang has rapidly emerged as a dark horse candidate to lead the majors in stolen bases this season, with those odds increasing exponentially following Oakland’s decision to option speedster Esteury Ruiz to Triple-A earlier this week. The 24-year-old second baseman has notched three consecutive multi-hit performances and is batting .500 (7-for-14) with two runs scored and one RBI so far. Simply put, Turang should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture.
  • MIL Relief Pitcher #45
    Uribe has gotten the call for three of four save opportunities for Milwaukee at the outset of the season and looks like their primary closing option with Devin Williams (back) likely sidelined until midseason. The hard-throwing 23-year-old righty issued a leadoff walk to Carlos Correa, but got a double-play ball from ensuing batter Manuel Margot and a ground out by Carlos Santana to preserve the narrow one-run victory. He certainly looks like the closer of the present for the Brewers and should be rostered in all fantasy formats until further notice.
  • TEX Third Baseman #6
    Rangers general manager Chris Young told reporters that Jung could be back in six weeks, which puts his likely return for fantasy managers sometime around mid-May, barring any setbacks. Wrist issues can be tricky matters, from a historical standpoint, so there’s a lingering possibility that Jung’s prodigious over-the-fence power will be adversely impacted upon returning.
  • TOR Shortstop #11
    Bichette is back in Toronto’s lineup following a brief two-game absence due to neck spasms. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern for fantasy managers moving forward, but the Blue Jays obviously didn’t want to take any chances this early in the season.
  • TEX Second Baseman #14
    Foscue isn’t in Tuesday’s lineup against the Rays, but figures to make his major-league debut at some point this week. The 25-year-old slugging prospect, who was Texas’ first-round selection in the 2020 MLB Draft, will help replace an injured Josh Jung (wrist) at the hot corner over the next few weeks. He’s posted some intriguing offensive numbers in the upper minors, but it going to need to show it at the highest level before he’s entrusted by fantasy managers with a valuable roster spot.
