Ohtani was able to reach three times, but the first time came on an error in the first, and he took first on catcher’s interference a few innings later. His on-base streak would have ended despite those two reaches, but a single in the ninth extended it to 50 games. He also pitches.

With the score tied at 2-2, Carroll launched a grand slam off Jeff Hoffman to make it 6-2 D-backs and essentially clinched the win for Arizona. The 25-year-old also stole a bag, which gives him two on the season to go with three roundtrippers. Carroll has been excellent over these first three weeks of 2026 with a .309 average and 1.018 OPS over 68 at-bats. There’s very little reason to believe he won’t be one of the best fantasy outfielders in the sport for the foreseeable future.

It was Robert Suarez who came in to pitch during Saturday’s save chance against the Phillies, with Suarez doing the job with a pair of strikeouts. The good news is that this was related to Iglesias sleeping on the shoulder wrong rather than something he picked up throwing, according to Atlanta manager Walt Weiss. The 36-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, but fantasy managers need to pay close attention to this going forward. If Suarez is still available, he’s essentially a must-add.

Bellinger took Royals lefty starter Noah Cameron deep for a two-run shot in the third inning before taking reliever Mitch Spence deep in garbage time a couple frames later to cap off his first multi-homer performance of the year. The 30-year-old reached base safely in four of his five plate appearances during the one-sided slugfest. It was his first time leaving the yard since April 4. He’s hitting .274/.368/.452 with three homers, 11 RBI and three steals in 20 games this season.

Warren received a touchdown and a field goal’s worth of run support from New York’s formidable lineup and held up his end of the bargain, carrying a shutout into the seventh inning before finally relenting a two-run homer to Royals rookie Carter Jensen. He was in complete control from the outset in this one, generating 11 swinging strikes and needing just 93 pitches (62 strikes) to navigate seven frames. He’ll carry a sharp 2.49 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 31/6 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings into a road tilt against the Astros on Friday.

Gurriel’s lightning-quick return to Arizona’s lineup comes just over seven months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee last September. The 32-year-old impending free agent, who hit .248/.295/.418 with 19 homers, 80 RBI and a career-high 10 stolen bases in 546 plate appearances last year, will make his season debut during Saturday’s showdown against the Dodgers. His return should provide a much-needed lift for the Diamondbacks offense, which has been forced to roll with Tim Tawa and Jorge Barrosa prominent roles of late. Gurriel doesn’t offer massive fantasy upside at this stage of his career, but he’s worthy of a roster spot in deeper mixed leagues.

At this point, someone should probably encase Mason Miller in bubble wrap. It’s been a brutal start to the season for elite closers, with Duran the latest to hit the injured list. The hard-throwing 28-year-old stopper is likely facing a multi-week absence, even in a best-case scenario, after logging five saves to accompany a microscopic 1.35 ERA across 6 2/3 innings of work this season. There should be an official timeline from the Phillies at some point soon. Orion Kerkering has the stuff to close games and José Alvarado’s previous closing experience make him a potential option in certain matchups. However, Brad Keller is the logical choice to take over the ninth inning in Philadelphia, which makes him worthy of a roster spot in all fantasy leagues.

Stowers will rejoin Miami’s lineup as their everyday left fielder following a three-week absence at the outset of the season while recovering from a hamstring strain. The 28-year-old corner outfielder wrapped up a minor league rehab assignment on Friday night with Triple-A Jacksonville, finishing 3-for-17 over five games. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats following last year’s impressive 25-homer breakthrough campaign.

Finally. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Polanco has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his wrist and there is no timetable for his return. He’ll get some much-needed time off to rest and recover after dealing with lingering wrist and Achilles issues, which have caused him to miss four of their last eight games since April 9. The 32-year-old infielder has been snake-bitten by physical issues during his Mets debut, which may be contributing to his abysmal .179 (10-for-56) batting average with one homer and two RBI through 14 games.

Matt McLain, who is off to a brutal start hitting .183 (13-for-71) with three extra-base hits and three steals in 20 games, takes a seat with Stewart getting a look at second base for the second time this season. Nathaniel Lowe gets into the lineup at the cold corner. It’s far too early for Cincinnati to consider any significant changes, but McLain’s slow start opens the door for Stewart to see additional time at the keystone. That would be a significant development for his fantasy appeal if he gains eligibility at one of the thinnest positions in the game.
