Snell’s appearance will be his first official rehab start as he works his way back from shoulder fatigue that has sidelined him for all of 2026. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need to make at least a couple of these before he’s ready to go, but assuming no setbacks, he should be back at some point in May.

Acuña was removed from Monday’s game after being hit by two pitches, but the 28-year-old received a clean MRI, and he’s ready to roll for Tuesday’s tilt. Crisis averted.

Gray will be out at least a couple of weeks with the strain, but there’s a good chance the 36-year-old will need more than the minimum stint before being activated. Tyler Samaniego will take Gray’s spot on the active roster, but it’ll likely be Payton Tolle — one of the top pitching prospects in baseball — who takes his spot in the rotation.

Soto has missed the majority of April while recovering from his strained right calf, and the Mets have clearly missed the slugger over the past few weeks. The 27-year-old may get some days off to stay fresh and avoid an aggravation, but fantasy managers need to be prepared to have Soto in their lineup starting Wednesday.

Rutschman missed just the minimum amount of time while dealing with inflammation in his ankle. The 28-year-old is back and will resume starting catching duties, with an occasional start at designated hitter here and there.

Iglesias was surprisingly not available to close Saturday’s game, and the Braves said he slept on his arm wrong and would be fine. The veteran then returned to notch a save on Sunday night, but he walked one and gave up a hit, and didn’t look sharp. Two days later, he’s landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. The expectation is that this won’t be a long stint on the IL, but Michael King also “slept on his arm wrong” last year and wound up missing almost three months with a nerve issue. While Iglesias is out, Robert Suarez becomes a top-five closer option in fantasy baseball and needs to be added everywhere. Hopefully the Iglesias manager already scooped him up last week when the injury first popped up.

If you’re going to pick up your first win with your new team, you might as well strike out a dozen in the process. That’s just good manners. Cease was able to get 18 swings-and-misses on his offerings, and he issued just two walks. While it is his first win, that says more about the lack of run support than anything he’s done wrong; he now sports a 2.10 ERA and a 44/19 K/BB over his first 25 2/3 innings with the Jays. The only complaint here is that because Cease needed to throw 110 pitches, he wasn’t able to get deeper into the game. He should obviously be in fantasy lineups for Sunday’s scheduled tilt against the Guardians.

Muncy and Dalton Rushing both hit a pair of homers, with Muncy’s coming off Jose Quintana and Tanner Gordon. Remarkably, Muncy now has eight homers on the season, but only nine RBI. Seems impossible, but to say the 35-year-old is off to a hot start is an understatement. Those RBI totals should continue to rise for Muncy playing in the loaded Dodgers lineup.

Acuña underwent imaging out of an abundance of caution after being drilled on the left hand during the sixth inning of Monday’s showdown against the Nationals. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar was hit by pitches twice during the contest and finished 0-for-1 with a run scored prior to exiting. It’s possible he’ll need some time off to rest and recover but the encouraging development here for Atlanta, and fantasy managers, is that Acuña appears to have avoided serious injury.

Cotillo adds that Tyler Samaniego will be called up on Tuesday to take Gray’s roster spot and fortify Boston’s relief corps. The 36-year-old veteran is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of hamstring issue that led to his early exit from Monday’s start against the Tigers after just 2 2/3 innings. It’s not official yet, but all signs point to top pitching prospect Payton Tolle coming up to fill his rotation spot against the Orioles this weekend. The hard-throwing 23-year-old southpaw needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats based on his strikeout upside.
