Emerson Hancock

SEA Starting Pitcher #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Emerson Hancock fanned 14 while holding the Royals to one run in seven innings on Saturday.

Just a bit of a step forward for Hancock. His previous career high for strikeouts was nine, and he’d never topped seven prior to this season. He didn’t overwhelm with his 31 percent CSW tonight, but the Royals couldn’t string hits together while combining for eight total bases in seven innings. Hancock’s 2.59 ERA is going to force the Mariners to make a tough decision when Bryce Miller is activated. It seems clear now that Hancock would be the better choice than Luis Castillo for the fifth spot in their rotation. Hancock is slated to face the White Sox next.
Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Cal Raleigh didn’t play Saturday because of general soreness.

The Mariners are being very elusive about this, as the unknown injury that got Raleigh scratched required imaging, the results of which are still unknown. Maybe he’ll prove to be just fine in a day or two, but the lack of transparency seems like a reason for concern.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. will undergo imaging on his left hamstring after leaving Saturday’s game against the Rockies.

Acuña left Saturday’s game with the hamstring injury, and Atlanta will make sure there’s no structural damage. There’s a good chance that the 28-year-old won’t be in the lineup Sunday regardless, but fantasy managers need to be prepared for a potential extended absence.
Sean Burke

CWS Starting Pitcher #59

Brock Burke allowed no runs in six innings while striking out eight to get a win in a 4-0 victory for the White Sox on Saturday over the Padres.

Burke was outstanding again, this time in a traditional start. The 26-year-old didn’t give up a single extra-base hit, and he threw 66-of-88 pitches for strikes without issuing a walk. Over his last three outings, Burke has given up a total of two runs — none in his last two — and he’s looked the part doing so. There could be something here, even if it’s understandable if fantasy managers are skeptical. He’ll face the Mariners in Chicago on Friday.
Chris Sale

ATL Starting Pitcher #51

Chris Sale struck out 11 over seven innings of one-run baseball to pick up a win in a 9-1 thrashing of the Rockies on Saturday.

Sale was exceptional, generating 20 swings-and-misses while giving up just two hits and three walks. The left-hander did allow six hard-hit balls, but it sure didn’t feel like it while throwing 70-of-102 pitches for strikes. That’s 20 strikeouts over his last two games, and his ERA has dwindled to 2.14 with a 49/12 K/BB ratio. Sale has a marquee matchup coming Friday, as he’ll take on the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Lars Nootbaar

STL Left Fielder #21

Lars Nootbaar, on the 60-day IL following surgery on both heels, is slated to begin a rehab assignment during the week beginning May 10.

The Cardinals will probably have Nootbaar spend the full 20 days in the minors or at least something very close to it. Once back, he’ll probably serve as the team’s left fielder. Nathan Church could potentially slide to center if he’s still outplaying Victor Scott II at that point.
Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25

Gleyber Torres left Saturday’s game because of left side tightness.

It’s not great timing for Torres to get hurt, as the Tigers already have Zach McKinstry and Javier Báez on the IL. McKinstry, though, is almost ready to return. The Tigers can still mix and match Hao-Yu Lee and Jace Jung at second.
Jackson Chourio

MIL Center Fielder #11

Jackson Chourio left his rehab game in Triple-A on Saturday after fouling a ball off his back foot.

Chourio finished the at-bat, but he didn’t come back out for defense. The Brewers said he was pulled as a precaution. He was playing in his third Triple-A game as he makes his way back from a broken hand.
Carmen Mlodzinski

PIT Starting Pitcher #50

Carmen Mlodzinski allowed five runs while striking out ten batters over 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Reds on Saturday.

Mlodzinski surrendered two runs in the first inning on a walk and two doubles. A solo homer by Will Benson brought in a third run before he stranded the bases loaded in the second inning. Mlodzinski tossed a clean third, striking out the side. He gave up one run on two hits in the fifth and left with a runner on and two outs in the sixth. The inherited runner would come in to score. Mlodzinski struck out ten on 17 whiffs. The 27-year-old right-hander will carry a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 40/13 K/BB ratio across 34 innings into a start against the Giants in San Francisco next Friday.
Shea Langeliers

ATH Catcher #23

Shea Langeliers went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI against the Guardians on Saturday.

Langeliers has been scorching at the plate over the last week, with Saturday’s three-hit game his fifth multi-hit contest in seven games. He got the scoring started with a two-run homer off Slade Cecconi in the first inning, then added a solo homer in the fifth for his second of the game. Langeliers later singled in the seventh for his third hit. The 28-year-old catcher is hitting an incredible .336/.390/.627 with ten homers, 24 runs scored, and 18 RBI across 146 plate appearances.
