Leiter trends up in fantasy after impressive start

March 31, 2026 01:52 PM

Equipped with a "deeper pitch mix" this year, Eric Samulski believes fantasy managers should buy into Jack Leiter after his impressive first start of the 2026 season.

Steward Berroa

MIL Right Fielder #35

Steward Berroa (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville.

Berroa was placed on the injured list just before the start of the regular season with a shoulder strain. The 26-year-old isn’t a lock to see time with the Brewers after the rehab assignment concludes, but could be a bench option at some point.

Rob Zastryzny

MIL Relief Pitcher #58

Rob Zastryzny (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignt with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Zastryzny is on the injured list with a left shoulder strain. The 34-year-old will likely make a few appearances with the Sounds, and then could pitch in the middle of the Milwaukee bullpen in the next few weeks if the assignment goes well.

Quinn Priester

MIL Starting Pitcher #46

Quinn Priester (thorasic outlet syndrome) will throw a bullpen Tuesday.

According to Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic, Priester will have two “ups” and throw 20 pitches. The right-hander will then head to Arizona, and is set to begin a rehab assignment in the early portion of April. Assuming no setbacks, he should be back for the Brew Crew by the early portion of May.

Jacob deGrom

TEX Starting Pitcher #48

Jacob deGrom will start on Tuesday against the Orioles.

The veteran was scratched from his start over the weekend with a stiff neck, but rather than wait till his next turn the rotation, the Rangers will send him to the mound tonight. Make sure he’s in your lineups in all league types. Kumar Rocker will start on Wednesday.

Colt Emerson

SEA Shortstop #85

Mariners signed SS prospect Colt Emerson to an 8-year, $95 million contract extension.

The contract has a team option for the ninth year, a full no-trade clause, and escalators that could have it worth more than $130 million. It’s a record for a player who has yet to debut in the major leagues. Emerson started this season in Triple-A, but could debut by the end of April if he gets off to a hot start.

Jordan Lawlar

AZ Shortstop #10

Jordan Lawlar drove in a run while stealing a base and going 2-for-3 in a win over the Tigers on Monday.

Lawlar’s steal was the first of the season. The 23-year-old singled twice and also drew a walk to improve his young slash to .300/.364/.400. Lawlar isn’t long removed from being one of the upper-echelon prospects in baseball, and while there’s some significant risk in his profile, it just might lead to a substantial reward, too.

Colt Keith

DET 2nd Baseman #33

Colt Keith drove in two runs and doubled twice in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Keith got the Tigers back into the game with a two-run double in the seventh, turning a six-run deficit into an 8-4 game. The 24-year-old already has doubled three times in 2026, and he’s slashing .429/.500/.643 over the first four games of the season.

Parker Messick

CLE Starting Pitcher #77

Parker Messick shut out the Dodgers for six innings and struck out five in the Guardians’ 4-2 win Monday.

Messick walked none and gave up just two hard-hit balls, the harder of which turned into a double play off the bat of Miguel Rojas. It looked like the Guardians might send him down in favor of Logan Allen at the end of the spring, but they clearly made the right decision to keep him at the back of their rotation. He’s a perfectly solid mixed-league play, and he’ll next face the Cubs at home on Sunday.

Cade Smith

CLE Relief Pitcher #36

Tasked with protecting a 4-0 lead in the ninth, Cade Smith gave up two runs before finishing off the Dodgers on Monday.

The ninth opened with an infield single from Kyle Tucker and an RBI double from Mookie Betts. Smith retired three in a row from there, but he did give up the second run on a wild pitch. He threw 29 pitches tonight after throwing 28 in another shaky outing Saturday, so the Guardians might want to give him Tuesday off. That could put Shawn Armstrong in line for a save chance.
