  • MIN Starting Pitcher #17

    He fanned seven. Ober threw just 89 pitches, matching Sonny Gray for the lowest total in a shutout since 2022. 89 was also how hard he threw his fastball tonight, or 88.6 mph to be exact. He gave up four hard-hit balls the 34 times he threw that pitch but just one on his other 55 offerings. Ober is now 4-2 with a 3.46 ERA despite his velocity being down 1.6 mph from last year. He also lost 1.5 mph from 2024 to 2025, and his ERA ballooned to 5.10 that season. Given that he’s a flyball pitcher with a modest 18.6 percent strikeout rate, it remains very difficult to recommend him in mixed leagues. This is really impressive what he’s doing, though. He’ll take on the Brewers on Sunday.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #22
    Woo gave up a run in the second inning on two hits. The Astros would plate a second run on two walks and a hit in the third. He settled in for three more scoreless innings, ending his day after six at 104 pitches. Woo threw 74 for strikes and generated 14 whiffs to strike out nine batters. That’s back-to-back nine-strikeout efforts. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 3.91 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 47/10 K/BB ratio across 53 innings into a start against the White Sox in Seattle on Monday.
  • NYM Center Fielder
    Ewing is looking at everyday at-bats with the Mets dealing with injuries in the outfield. He made a good impression on Tuesday as he was on base four times in the win over the Tigers. In the seventh inning, he had a moment he’ll never forget when he roped a line drive to right field for a triple for his first MLB hit. It traveled at 104 mph exit velocity. Ewing had only two home runs in the minor leagues, but can still provide value with a good average and speed.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #30
    Skenes gave up two hits, walked none and struck out 10. He improved to 6-2 with the win and lowered his ERA to 1.98. Skenes dominated the Rockies for eight innings with Colorado’s lone run coming off closer Gregory Soto in the ninth inning. He’s lined up to face the Phillies at home on Sunday.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #17
    Roberts added that they’re leaning towards having Ohtani pitch exclusively on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium but they haven’t made a final decision yet. The 31-year-old generational talent has been mired in an uncharacteristic tailspin at the plate recently, hitting just .193 (11-for-57) with one home run and four steals over his last 15 games. He’s far too talented to continue struggling, but it’s possible that the tremendous two-way workload he’s shouldering is leading to some fatigue that’s adversely impacting his performance at the plate. The encouraging news here is that Ohtani seems to be completely fine from a physical standpoint. Hopefully the extra time off serves as a mental reset and helps get him back on track.
  • ATH Shortstop #5
    According to the Athletics training staff, Wilson will begin a rehabilitation program to strengthen and stabilize his shoulder before he’s cleared to resume baseball activities. There is no timetable for his return and fantasy managers should anticipate a lengthy absence. The 24-year-old contact-oriented shortstop was hitting .292/.311/.398 with three homers, 19 RBI and two steals in 39 games prior to suffering the injury during Sunday’s game against the Orioles. It’ll likely be Darrell Hernaiz taking over at shortstop in his place.
  • NYY Shortstop #72
    It’s awful timing for Caballero, who officially became the Yankees’ starting shortstop when Anthony Volpe was demoted to Triple-A, rather than activated off the injured list, last week. Volpe will now have an opportunity to make his case for the job. Greatly outproducing his exit velocity numbers, Caballero is batting .259/.320/.400 with four homers and 13 steals this season, though he also leads the league with five caught stealings.
  • MIL Left Fielder #22
    Tyler Black was sent down to make room. Yelich is back from a groin strain suffered exactly one month ago. He’ll surely DH most of the time for the Brewers, which will typically leave just one lineup spot for Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers against right-handers. That’ll have the Brewers picking between defense and offense, with Mitchell in center and Jackson Chourio in left or Chourio in center and Bauers in left. Bauers probably ought to be dropped in leagues in which he was picked up.
  • TOR Shortstop #0
    Giménez took Rays starter Drew Rasmussen deep for a three-run homer in the second inning before repeating the feat against reliever Ian Seymour in the seventh to record the first multi-homer performance of his career. The 27-year-old infielder was one of the few bright spots in this one as he was responsible for all five of Toronto’s runs in a losing effort. He’s up to five round-trippers already through 38 games after mustering only seven across 101 contests last year in his Blue Jays debut.
  • BAL 3rd Baseman #16
    Mayo catapulted Baltimore ahead with a three-run blast off Yankees reliever Brent Headrick after they were completely flummoxed by lefty Ryan Weathers for six-plus frames to open the contest. It was his fourth long ball of the season and first time leaving the yard since April 24. The 24-year-old former top prospect was a late addition to the lineup at DH after Samuel Basallo was scratched with knee discomfort.
