  • KC 3rd Baseman #11

    Nick Loftin draws another start at the hot corner with Garcia getting some additional time off the rest and recover after making an early exit from Thursday’s game with right elbow soreness. The 26-year-old downplayed the severity of the issue while speaking with reporters, so it qualifies as a bit of a surprise to see him still on the shelf. There should be some additional clarity on his status later this weekend.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #35
    It was a much-needed rebound performance for Crochet after getting torched for 16 runs over 6 2/3 innings combined over his previous two starts. The 26-year-old fantasy ace looked like his usual self in this one, leaning heavily on his four-seam fastball, and limiting Baltimore’s red-hot lineup to just five baserunners. He generated an encouraging 12 swinging strikes, and gave up only seven hard-hit balls, needing just 90 pitches to navigate six frames. The scoreless effort lowered his full-season ERA from 7.88 to a more respectable 6.30 through six starts. He’ll square off against the Astros at Fenway Park in his next outing on Friday.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #45
    Wheeler takes the ball for his season debut against the division-rival Braves on Saturday night as the Phillies attempt to snap a dismal 10-game losing streak. No pressure. The 35-year-old former ace’s fastball velocity simply wasn’t back to pre-surgery levels during a handful of recent minor league rehab starts which makes this a wait-and-see situation for fantasy managers, despite his lengthy track record of success.
  • CIN 3rd Baseman #28
    It’s officially a mild oblique strain, according to a team statement, which gives Suárez a real shot at returning to Cincinnati’s lineup when first eligible in early May. However, oblique injuries can be tricky and often carry a risk of recurrence if not managed carefully. The 34-year-old power-hitting corner infielder has gotten off to a slow start by his lofty standards, hitting .231/.300/.363 with three homers and 11 RBI through 25 games this season.
  • CLE Center Fielder #38
    Angel Martínez takes over in center field and will hit leadoff on Saturday afternoon in his place. It sounds like a precautionary move since Kwan also sat out Friday’s series opener, but was in Saturday’s initial lineup. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .227/.315/.289 with one homer, eight RBI and two steals in 25 games. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point this weekend. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    Blue Jays skipper John Schneider made it official that Yesavage will return to Toronto’s injury-decimated rotation with Eric Lauer going to the bullpen. The other ripple effect is Dylan Cease being pushed back to Monday with Patrick Corbin starting Sunday against Cleveland. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect is unlikely to shoulder a significant workload early on, but he still offers enough strikeout upside to warrant a roster spot in all fantasy formats.
  • BOS Right Fielder #19
    Not great. Anthony hasn’t played since Tuesday due to a lingering back issue. It’s worth noting that the Orioles have tough lefty Trevor Rogers on the mound for Saturday afternoon’s matinee, so he might’ve been on the bench regardless of his health status. It’ll be struggling Jarren Duran in left field in his place. The 21-year-old showed flashes of superstar potential when he reached the majors last year, but he’s gotten off to a brutal start this season, hitting .225/.361/.325 with one homer, four RBI and two steals through 22 games. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #34
    It’ll be made up as a doubleheader at Citi Field on Sunday instead. Saturday’s original starters — Jose Quinatana and Kodai Senga — will presumably take the ball during Sunday’s twin bill instead.
  • ATL Center Fielder #23
    Braves manager Walt Weiss summoned Harris, who was scratched from Friday’s lineup with left quad tightness, to face Phillies starter Andrew Painter in the sixth inning, and he delivered with a clutch extra-base hit off the base of the left-field wall. The 25-year-old center fielder should remain available off the bench this weekend, even if he’s held out of the starting lineup again.
  • NYM Shortstop #12
    “He’s going to be down quite a bit here,” Mendoza added. Lindor won’t be cleared to resume baseball activities until at least mid-May, which puts his likely return timeline somewhere in June, in a best-case scenario. The 32-year-old fantasy star hit the shelf with a left calf strain earlier this week. There isn’t an official return timeline from the Mets, but fantasy managers should anticipate Lindor missing a significant amount of time. His extended absence clears the runway for former top prospect Ronny Mauricio to make some noise at the highest level following a strong stretch at Triple-A Syracuse.
