Robbie Ross

DET Relief Pitcher #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Rangers manager Ron Washington indicated that it’s unlikely Robbie Ross will come out of the bullpen to fill Alexi Ogando’s (groin) spot in the rotation Saturday.

Ross was a logical choice, as he’s started throughout the minors and threw four innings in relief of Ogando Sunday, but Washington likes him where he is. “Without Ogando down there, he’s the magical piece,” the manager said. “He can do a lot of things. I want him to stay in the bullpen.” It’s still up in the air as to who the Rangers will use Saturday, but it won’t be Roy Oswalt, as he’s starting for Double-A Frisco Tuesday and will need at least one more minor league start after that.

Dillon Dingler

DET Catcher #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Dillon Dingler went 4-for-4 with two homers, a double and four RBI as the Tigers topped the Twins 10-4 on Tuesday.

It’s still kind of hard to see Dingler ending the season in the running for AL MVP honors, but he’s very much on the short list through 57 games. All four of his balls in play tonight were hard hit, and he’s batting .248//329/. 528 with 16 homers and 48 RBI while also performing as one of the league’s top defensive catchers to date. He’s tied for 11th in the majors in homes and fifth in RBI.

Soderstrom 'turning the corner' amid hot streak

June 9, 2026 01:50 PM

Tyler Soderstrom's two-HR day was just the latest sign that the Athletics' slugger is in the middle of a hot streak. Eric Samulski says fantasy managers should expect the ball to "fly off his bat" as summer rolls on.

Troy Melton

DET Starting Pitcher #52

Troy Melton won despite giving up four homers in five innings Tuesday against the Twins.

All four homers were solo shots, and Melton struck out five and walked none in improving to 3-0. He joined Logan Gilbert in earning a win this season despite allowing four homers. It typically happens once or twice a year: Tony Gonsolin was the only pitcher to do it last season, and Sonny Gray and Kutter Crawford were the two pitchers to pull it off in 2024. Melton should get the Astros on the road and the White Sox at home next week, making him a nice streaming option.

Taj Bradley

MIN Starting Pitcher #26

Taj Bradley surrendered five runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Tigers.

Bradley was off to a really nice start until Buster Olney called him underrated on Aor. 18. Since then, Bradley has served an IL stint and walked 19 while giving up 25 runs in 37 1/3 innings, which amounts to a 6.02 ERA. He gave up three homers, walked three and issued two wild pitches tonight. He’ll stay in the rotation, of course, and face the Cardinals on Sunday, but no one should be very enthused about him at this point.

Luke Keaschall

MIN 2nd Baseman #15

Luke Keaschall was on base all four times up against the Tigers on Tuesday, going 2-for-2 with a walk and a HBP.

Keaschall has been quite disappointing in managing just one homer through 253 plate appearances, but his .324 OBP isn’t half bad. He still needs a real hot streak at some point in order to ensure that he’s up for good; as is, he’s definitely a candidate to be demoted if the Twins wants to try top prospect Kaelen Culpepper.

Sal Stewart

CIN 1st Baseman #27

Sal Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer to lift the Reds to a 5-3 win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Stewart had drawn a pair of walks before the game was extended to extra innings. He came up in a big spot for the Reds at the top of the 11th, taking Yuki Matsui deep for a two-run blast to take the lead. His first home run in 15 games couldn’t have come at a better time. The 22-year-old slugger is up to 13 this season while hitting .254/.351/.464 with 36 runs scored, 42 RBI, and 10 steals across 288 plate appearances.

Fernando Tatis Jr.

SD Right Fielder #23

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 4-for-6 with one run scored against the Reds on Tuesday.

Tatis got on four times against the Reds on Tuesday, starting with a base hit and a run scored in the third inning. He added a double in the fifth, then singled and was caught stealing in the seventh before reaching with his fourth hit in the ninth. The 27-year-old outfielder still has just one home run on the season while hitting .279/.348/.336 with 24 runs scored, 19 RBI, and 15 steals across 280 plate appearances.

Zach Maxwell

CIN Relief Pitcher #78

Zach Maxwell tossed a scoreless 11th inning to record the save for the Reds in extra innings against the Padres.

Maxwell was called on to pitch the bottom of the 11th after the Reds took a two-run lead in the top of the frame. This came one inning after Tejay Antone blew a one-run lead in the tenth. Maxwell needed just nine pitches to record three outs, securing the win for Cincinnati with his first save.

Chase Burns

CIN Starting Pitcher #26

Chase Burns allowed two runs while striking out seven batters over 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Tuesday.

Burns stranded two runners through two scoreless innings before the Padres broke through for two runs on three hits in the third. He’d go on to pitch into the sixth, giving up two hits with two outs to end his day at a season-high 105 pitches. Burns struck out seven. The 23-year-old right-hander will take a 2.14 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and an 88/23 K/BB ratio across 75 2/3 innings into a start against the Mets in Cincinnati on Monday.

Lucas Giolito

SD Starting Pitcher #55

Lucas Giolito allowed two runs -- one earned -- with three strikeouts over four innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Tuesday.

Giolito tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up a run on a walk and a hit in the second. An error by Giolito with the bases loaded in the third would bring a second run in. He’d strand one more runner in a scoreless fourth, ending his day at 85 pitches with five walks and three strikeouts. Through five outings, the 31-year-old right-hander carries a 4.35 ERA, 1.74 WHIP, and a 14/18 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Cardinals in St. Louis on Monday.

Randy Arozarena

SEA Left Fielder #56

Randy Arozarena went 3-for-5 and hit a two-run homer in the top of the 10th as the Mariners bested the Orioles 6-5 in 10 innings Tuesday.

Arozarena already had three hard-hit balls before he hit one 360 feet to right-center for is seventh homer, giving the Orioles a 6-4 lead in the 10th. The Orioles managed to score the automatic runner in the bottom of the frame, but that was it for them. Arozarena has seven homers on the year. Statcast thinks he’s overachieved in hitting .299/.385/.462, but there’s no point in telling him that
