  • TOR Shortstop #0
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    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.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #40
    Weathers carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before finally relenting a leadoff single to Adley Rutschman and was lifted from the contest after issuing a free pass to Tyler O’Neill on his 101st pitch of the contest. The 26-year-old southpaw generated 15 swinging strikes and fell just shy of recording his second double-digit strikeout performance of his Yankees debut. Not too bad for someone who lost nearly 10 pounds due to a viral infection last week. He was forced to settle for a no-decision after Brent Headrick served up a go-ahead homer following his departure. He’s certainly making it challenging for New York to consider moving him to the bullpen once Gerrit Cole (elbow) is ready to return in a couple weeks. He’ll close out a two-start week with a favorable matchup against the crosstown Mets on Sunday.
  • NYM Center Fielder
    With their season trending in the wrong direction, the Mets will turn to Ewing to provide a spark after just 12 games at the Triple-A level. The 21-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a phenomenal start this season in the upper minors, slashing .339/.447/.514 with two homers and 17 steals in 30 games. His top-of-the-scale speed makes him a weapon on the basepaths and should provide a pathway to immediate fantasy relevance following a 70-steal campaign last year in the minors. He’s more of a line-drive hitter than an over-the-fence power threat but he projects as a top-of-the-order table-setter capable of hitting for average and stealing bases. He’s at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats.
  • LAD Shortstop #50
    Betts is back at shortstop and hitting second in Monday’s series opener against the longtime rival Giants following a five-week absence recovering from an oblique strain. The 33-year-old fantasy stalwart was hitting .179 (5-for-28) with two homers and seven RBI across eight games prior to the injury. He might need time to knock the metaphorical rust off after just a pair of minor league rehab contests following the lengthy layoff. However, his return should provide a massive boost for the Dodgers, and fantasy managers as well.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17
    Not good. Jakob Junis will take the ball to open a bullpen game on Monday night in his place. Eovaldi was in line for a two-start week against Arizona and Houston after spinning an eight-inning masterpiece against the Yankees his last time out. The 36-year-old veteran will presumably undergo imaging to determine the severity of the issue and whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list. It’s obviously an alarming development for the Rangers, and fantasy managers as well. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point shortly.
  • HOU Shortstop #1
    Technically, Correa tore the peroneus brevis tendon in his left ankle. The 31-year-old infielder suffered the injury during pregame batting practice last week. His absence means Isaac Paredes will handle the hot corner for the remainder of the year, which is undoubtedly a boost to his fantasy appeal.
  • TOR Right Fielder #47
    It’s the best possible outcome that Barger isn’t dealing with any ligament damage after hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation. He’ll receive an anti-inflammatory cortisone injection to address a joint issue and be shut down for a couple days. The 26-year-old corner outfielder is likely facing a multi-week absence, but it doesn’t sound like surgery is on the table. There should be a definitive return timeline once he’s cleared to ramp up baseball activities again.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher #57
    Rodriguez, who had never had a complete game in 242 career starts, was supposed to be done after eight, but he talked manager Torey Lovullo into sending him back out. He just couldn’t do so for a second time after giving up a weak flyball single with one out in the ninth. It was just the fourth hit allowed by Rodriguez. He only had four strikeouts and six whiffs on 48 swings, but he obviously didn’t need them against the lineup the Mets are currently running out against lefties. At 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA on the season, he might seem like a reasonable pickup, but we still dislike the career-low 16.5 percent strikeout rate and the career-high 11 percent walk rate. He’ll face the Rockies in Coors next weekend.
  • PHI Left Fielder #12
    Schwarber is tied with Aaron Judge for the MLB lead at 16 homers, with Munetaka Murakami right behind the duo at 15. Schwarber is striking out a little more than typical to begin 2026, but he’s also barreling the ball at a higher-than-normal clip. The Phillies open a three-game series at Fenway Park on Tuesday.
