Marcus Hatley

STL Relief Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Cardinals purchased the contract of RHP Marcus Hatley from Triple-A Memphis.

Hatley put up a 1.69 ERA over 27 appearances this season, but he did so with an underwhelming 27/15 K/BB ratio over 37 1/3 innings. Still, it’s a nice story for someone who has spent nine seasons in the minors. The 27-year-old will pitch in middle relief.

Kodai Senga

NYM Starting Pitcher #34

Kodai Senga went just 2 2/3 innings while allowing three runs as the Mets fell to the Rockies 3-0 in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday.

The Mets not only lost both games of Sunday’s doubleheader, but they were swept in the series. Against the Rockies. Yes, those Rockies. Senga now has an ERA of 9.00, and gave up a two-run homer to Hunter Goodman and an RBI single to Troy Johnston to “help” that number go up. Again. He also walked three, struck out just one, and threw 30-of-50 pitches for strikes before being pulled. This isn’t good. The Mets aren’t good. He’s scheduled to face the Angels on Friday.

Dalton Rushing

LAD Catcher #68

Dalton Rushing went 1-for-4 with an RBI in a win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Rushing poked a single to right to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 4-0. The 25-year-old backstop caught again with Will Smith dealing with tightness in his back, and he’s likely made it easier for Los Angeles to rest Smith while he’s not at his best. Rushing has driven in 16 runs with a slash of .385/.455/.974. The Dodgers are going to have to find a way to keep his bat in the lineup as long as this keeps going.

Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-3 with a homer, double and a stolen base to lead the Dodgers to a 6-0 win over the Cubs on Sunday.

After going six games without an extra-base hit — a severe drought for someone like Ohtani — the perennial MVP candidate bashed his sixth homer of the season as well as a double. He also drew a walk while improving his slash to .262/.391/.485 with 12 RBI and three steals. Most hitters would sign up for that slash. Most players aren’t Ohtani.

Shota Imanaga

CHC Starting Pitcher #18

Shota Imanaga allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched to take a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

There were some positives for Imanaga in this outing. He was able to whiff six batters, and he compiled 17 swings-and-misses against among his 63 strikes. That’s the end of the optimism, however, as he allowed six hit sand three walks before exiting his worst start of 2026. He still possesses a 3.15 ERA and 38/9 K/BB ratio, however, and it would be far from an upset if he bounced back against the Diamondbacks in his next opportunity.

Foster Griffin

WSH Starting Pitcher #22

Foster Griffin pitched a gem in Sunday’s 2-1 win over the White Sox, hurling seven scoreless while striking out eight.

Griffin walked two and allowed just two hits in the 95-pitch outing. It was the left-hander’s best performance of the season, with strikeouts picked up on five different pitches. Griffin’s fastball averages under 92 mph, but he’s been able to keep hitters off balance enough to warrant streaming consideration. The Nationals entered Sunday having scored the second-most runs in MLB, so perhaps wins will be easier to come by in Washington after all. He gets the Brewers at home this week.

Gus Varland

WSH Relief Pitcher #47

Gus Varland logged a scoreless inning in Sunday’s 10-inning victory over the White Sox.

Varland struck out one and needed just 10 pitches to handle the bottom of the eighth, which followed seven scoreless frames from Foster Griffin. It isn’t closer usage, but Varland’s chances at the ninth-inning job increased Sunday when Clayton Beeter went to the IL with forearm soreness. Paxton Schultz eventually earned the save in extras, but Varland looks to have the inside edge in an uninspiring committee.

Sean Burke

CWS Starting Pitcher #59

Sean Burke pitched well in Sunday’s bulk relief appearance against the Nationals, tossing 7 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out four.

Burke allowed three hits and didn’t walk anyone. He’s now allowed just one earned run in 13 1/3 innings (two appearances) pitching behind an opener. The righty hasn’t forced his way onto the fantasy radar yet, and that looks unlikely to change with a road game against the Padres up next.
