He’ll remain in big league camp and compete for a bench spot, but his most likely destination at the start of the season is in the minors. Dickerson batted .321/.367/.393 in 41 games last season for the Yanks.

Trout didn’t pick up a hit, but did hit a 111 mph liner to left. The steal was already the second of the season for the 34-year-old, who has looked outstanding over the first week of action. There’s obviously reasons for skepticism, but Trout’s talent hasn’t gone away.

O’Hoppe’s two-run hit was technically an infield single, and you don’t see that too often. The 26-year-old was a major disappointment in 2025, but there’s enough power in his right-handed bat to believe in a bounce back.

Romano issued a walk, but didn’t allow a hit while picking up his second save of the season. The 32-year-old will likely see save opportunities as long as Kirby Yates (knee) is out of action, but Drew Pomeranz — who pitched into the ninth Tuesday before exiting — could see some chances, too. It’s not a great situation.

Taillon didn’t allow any runs, but there was some good luck involved with that. He walked four against three strikeouts, and he exited after throwing 52-of-85 pitches for strikes. There were some encouraging signs from Taillon — particularly considering how bad he looked for much of the spring — but there was some smoke-and-mirrors to this scoreless affair. He gets the Rays on Wednesday.

Not many hurlers have made two starts, but it’d be fair to say that not many — if any — have been better than Soriano. After blanking the Astros over six on Opening Day, the 27-year-old was just as good while allowing only two hits for the second straight outing. Soriano showed flashes of brilliance in 2025 as well, but they were often followed by clunkers. It’s fair to be skeptical, but it’s hard to argue with the results. Impossible, really. He faces Atlanta on Monday.

Initial X-rays on DeLauter’s left foot came back negative for any fractures, which is a massive relief for the Guardians and fantasy managers alike after he fouled a ball off it in the first inning Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. The 24-year-old rookie isn’t completely out of the woods, but the initial imaging suggests he avoided a serious injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into Wednesday’s series finale in Los Angeles.

Pallante allowed all three hits over the first five innings before Gordon Graceffo, Ryne Stanek, JoJo Romero and Riley O’Brien finished things up. Pallante struck out only three, which is pretty much par for the course for him, but he got nine outs on the ground. The Cardinals would take five solid innings every time out from him, at least until they cashed him in before the trade deadline. He’ll next face the Nationals on Monday.

The Cardinals indicated that part of the reason O’Brien opened up in a setup role was that he was behind after his calf injury this spring. The results didn’t really agree with that assessment, but all seems right now anyway. The Cardinals used Ryne Stanek in the seventh and Jojo Romero in the eighth tonight, so they were clearly intending for O’Brien to close. He’s probably not a lock to record all of the team’s save chances, but he is the best bet in their pen and should be picked up wherever he’s available.

The Cardinals went double, single, double to get to Senga in the third, but that was their only successful stretch. Senga averaged 97.4 mph with his fastball tonight, up 2.8 mph from last year, and got six strikeouts with the pitch. The other three came on his ghost forkball. He did finish with three walks, starting just 12 of the 25 hitters he faced with strikes, but with his stuff all of the way back to where it was in 2022, he has the ability to be one of this year’s biggest bargains. Senga is slated to make his next start Sunday against the Giants. If that happens, it’ll be just his fifth time pitching on four days’ rest for the Mets. He did it three times in 2023 and once last year.
