  • PHI Relief Pitcher #59
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Duran will return to solidify the back-end of Philadelphia’s bullpen after missing just over two weeks with a left oblique strain. The electrifying 28-year-old stopper was off to a brilliant start this season with a microscopic 1.35 ERA across 6 2/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him back in lineups this week.
  • SEA Catcher #29
    Seattle handled the Raleigh situation with extreme caution over the weekend, holding him out of two games due to right-side tightness. He could still require a trip to the injured list, but no move has been made yet. The 29-year-old slugging backstop underwent an MRI that should clarify the severity of the issue and whether additional time off will be necessary. A clearer update on his status is expected before Monday’s series opener at T-Mobile Park.
  • MIL Center Fielder #11
    Chourio is in left field and batting second as he makes his long-awaited season debut on Monday evening against the Cardinals after missing nearly six weeks to open the year recovering from a fractured hand. The 22-year-old fantasy superstar is ready to roll following an injury scare when he fouled a ball off his foot during his final minor league rehab contest over the weekend. He’ll provide a much-needed lift for Milwaukee, and fantasy managers as well, after recording back-to-back 20-homer, 20-steal campaigns to kick off his career.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #29
    So much for him being scratched from his start for precautionary reasons. As of now, there is no set timeline for Skubal’s absence, but Edwin Diaz is being sidelined for three months after undergoing the same surgery. That means we could expect Skubal back in August as a best-case scenario. That’s a brutal blow for the Tigers and fantasy managers, and, potentially, Skubal’s free agent market.
  • SF 1st Baseman #8
    Eldridge will get another shot after batting .333/.445/.518 for Sacramento, but his return really complicates things, what with his replacement, Casey Schmitt, being arguably the Giants’ best player to date. All of the team’s veteran infielders are used to being everyday players, and it’s hard to imagine any will be happy sitting once or twice per week to make room for Eldridge at first and DH, even if it’s the right call for the team. Rodriguez has started at catcher, second base and in left field this year, so he offers a lot more versatility than Eldridge and will be an easier fit. Still, we’re not sure either rates a pickup in mixed leagues at this point. Eldridge has the potential, but he’ll stay the bench against lefties and possibly the occasional righty.
  • NYY Shortstop #11
    José Caballero has been playing well of late, though Statcast thinks he’s been very lucky with his solid .321 wOBA and poor .269 xwOBA. Meanwhile, Volpe has been hitting the ball hard — nine times in four Triple-A games — with middling results on his rehab assignment. That’s just a bad combination for Volpe, and the Yankees are obviously putting more weight on the actual numbers than the expected ones. Volpe should be the better player going forward, and the Yankees probably will give him another chance, perhaps as soon as a couple of weeks from now.
  • MIA Catcher #50
    Doing this but sticking with Chris Paddack is a choice. Ramírez, though, isn’t doing enough offensively to justify putting up with his defense, even if he has shown some improvement there this year. Mack is a weaker bet than Ramírez on offense, but he’s an excellent defensive catcher who takes walks and hits the occasional homer. He’s batting .244/.388/.378 in Triple-A. Liam Hicks and Mack figure to split time behind the plate, with Hicks also serving as a DH. Mack won’t get Ramírez’s DH at-bats, so that could open some playing time for Christopher Morel.
  • CHC 1st Baseman #29
    Busch had a big day at the plate on Sunday, starting with a double and a run scored in the second inning. After drawing a walk in the third, he drove in three runs with a bases-loaded triple in the fifth. Busch would drive in a fourth run on a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The 28-year-old first baseman is hitting .218/.317/.339 with two homers, 15 runs scored, and 17 RBI across 145 plate appearances.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #70
    It’s a wonder how Wrobleski continues to get the job done despite a lack of strikeouts. He had another excellent day on the mound, holding the Cardinals scoreless over six frames. He scattered six hits and one walk with zero strikeouts. The 25-year-old left-hander ends the day with a 1.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 15/10 K/BB ratio across 36 innings. Wrobleski lines up for a home start against the Braves next Sunday.
  • TB 1st Baseman #8
    Aranda collected base hits in the first, sixth, and eighth innings before the game went to extras tied at 1-1. He delivered with his fourth hit of the game, driving in Chandler Simpson to walk it off for the Rays. The 27-year-old first baseman is hitting .252/.352/.462 with seven homers, 17 runs scored, and 28 RBI across 142 plate appearances.
