Guardians manager Stephen Vogt told reporters that DeLauter was set to receive the day off regardless before he suffered a left foot contusion during Tuesday’s showdown at Dodger Stadium. The positive news for Cleveland and fantasy managers alike is that initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures. The 24-year-old rookie sensation will be re-evaluated prior to Friday’s series opener against the Cubs to determine whether he’ll need some additional time off. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Angel Martínez taking over in right field on Wednesday night in his absence.

Misiorowski left a fastball over the heart of the plate in the third inning, which Rays slugger Yandy Díaz sliced into the right-field seats for a two-run homer. The electrifying 23-year-old flamethrower didn’t make any other mistakes in this one, limiting Tampa Bay’s lineup to just four hits and a pair of walks over six strong frames. He touched triple digits 17 times and averaged an other-worldly 98.9 mph on his four-seam fastball in this one. He’s recorded a pristine 2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 18/5 K/BB ratio across 11 innings over two starts to open his sophomore campaign. He’ll square off against the Red Sox at historic Fenway Park on Tuesday in his next outing.

The hope for the Royals, and fantasy managers, is that the reset enables Estévez to find the fastball velocity that’s been missing since the outset of spring training. The 33-year-old stopper, who recorded a career-high 42 saves last year, was torched for six runs while recording just one out in an ugly blown save last Saturday against the Braves. He was also struck by a comebacker during that disastrous outing, which led to Lucas Erceg handling closing duties in Sunday’s series finale. It remains unclear whether Estévez will reclaim the closing role once he’s ready to rejoin Kansas City’s high-leverage mix, which provides Erceg with an extended opportunity to establish himself as the club’s primary ninth-inning option.

Alcantara needed just 93 pitches to dispose of the White Sox. 69 of those were strikes, and he went without walking a batter, though he did hit Miguel Vargas. All three hits off him were singles, and the first was actually a bunt with two outs and none on in the second. Alcantara is now tied with Gerrit Cole, Sonny Gray, Shelby Miller and Max Scherzer for second on the active list for shutouts, four behind Justin Verlander. He’s alone in third with 13 complete games, trailing Verlander at 26 and Chris Sale at 16. Give Alcantara a ton of credit for just how efficient he was, but the results probably wouldn’t have been quite the same against a better offense. His stock is up a little with two scoreless victories to begin the year, but he always seemed likely to get off to a good start with the Rockies and White Sox on the schedule. He’ll face the Reds next week.

Skenes struck out five and walked two on the day; however, he threw just 66 percent of his pitches for strikes, which continues his Opening Day trend of just not being as sharp as we’re used to seeing him. He had 11 whiffs, including six on his four-seamer and three on his changeup, and a 26.2 percent whiff rate is nothing to turn your nose up at. Hopefully, his command can be more pristine next week against the Padres.

The 31-year-old left last night’s game in the fourth inning. As of now, we have no further information on the extent of the injury, and the Orioles are awaiting imaging results. However, fantasy managers should expect a long absence, which is a bummer for a pitcher who seemed primed to have a bounce-back season. Albert Suarez was called up to take Eflin’s place in the rotation.

Fernandez received his first call-up earlier this week with Pavin Smith (elbow) landing on the injured list. His first game could not have gone better. The 22-year-old knocked his first base hit in the second inning, then slugged his first career homer with a solo shot off Casey Mize in the fourth. With the team trailing by one run with two runners on in the eighth, he took Kenley Jansen deep for a three-run blast to put the Diamondbacks ahead. Two of his first three hits leaving the yard is certainly a way to start his career. It’s unknown how much playing time Fernandez stands to get, especially with Nolan Arenado and Geraldo Perdomo on the left side of Arizona’s infield, but you have to think two homers certainly earns him more looks in the DH mix.

Fried was dominant yet again in his second consecutive road outing, holding the Mariners off the board over seven frames to extend his scoreless streak to 13 1/3 innings across his first two starts. He scattered three hits and one walk while collecting six strikeouts. The 32-year-old left-hander has a chance to continue his excellent start when he takes on the Marlins in New York on Sunday.

Initial X-rays on DeLauter’s left foot came back negative for any fractures, which is a massive relief for the Guardians and fantasy managers alike after he fouled a ball off it in the first inning Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. The 24-year-old rookie isn’t completely out of the woods, but the initial imaging suggests he avoided a serious injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into Wednesday’s series finale in Los Angeles.

it took longer than anticipated, but Painter’s MLB debut was awfully impressive; even when considering the Nationals aren’t exactly the toughest lineup in the sport. Painter allowed just four hits and one walk, and didn’t have a run charged to him until the sixth. His four-seam fastball averaged 96.7 mph and he threw several pitches above 98, and he generated nine swings and misses among his 84 offerings. Painter will be back on the bump and look to build on this effort against the Giants on Monday.
