Greg Allen

MLB Left Fielder #30

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Greg Allen has elected free agency.

Allen passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week by the Yankees. The 30-year-old outfielder got into just 22 games this season for New York. He might be able to latch on somewhere else as a pinch-running specialist.

Julio Rodríguez

SEA Center Fielder #44

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Julio Rodríguez hit a game-tying single in the ninth inning, but the Mariners fell to the Guardians in an extra-inning battle Saturday.

Rodríguez was hitless coming into the ninth inning in his first three games, but he picked a heck of a time to get that first knock. He laced a single to right-center to score Cole Young with two outs to tie the game at 3-3. He also drew a walk, so he’s now hitting .091/.231/.091 over the first three contests. More fireworks for J-Rod should come soon, but it’s worth nothing he’s gotten off to poor starts in each of his previous campaigns.

Can Marlins progress towards competing in 2026?

March 27, 2026 05:22 PM

The Dan Le Batard show debates how the Miami Marlins can get fans back into the good graces of the Miami fanbase and why 2026 might be the beginning of resurrecting that enthusiasm.

Andrés Muñoz

SEA Relief Pitcher #75

Andrés Muñoz allowed three runs — one earned — over an inning to take a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Muñoz gave up his first run after a throw from Brendan Donovan on a bunt attempt ended up about 40 feet off target to score a run. A batter later, he gave up a two-run shot to Chase DeLauter that was much more quality hitting than a bad pitch from Muñoz. Expect the 27-year-old to bounce back just fine in the coming days, and fortunately only one of the runs is earned for fantasy managers.

Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter hit a two-run homer in the 10th to help the Guardians to a 6-5 win over the Mariners in 10 innings Saturday.

Goodness gracious. DeLauter was struggling throughout this game; going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before the tenth. Then he hit his fourth homer in the first three games of 2026, and it came on a 97 mph fastball on the outer-part of the plate from Andrés Muñoz for a two-run shot. There’s regression coming if only because baseball is too hard for a player to be this good, but it’s impossible to not be impressed — and intrigued — by these first three contests.

Cade Smith

CLE Relief Pitcher #36

Cade Smith allowed a run and blew the save Saturday against the Mariners, but was credited with the win.

This game featured two of the better closers in baseball, but neither Smith nor Andrés Muñoz pitched well Saturday night. Smith gave up a double to Cole Young, and with two outs, Julio Rodríguez was able to lash an opposite-field single to score the tying run. Fortunately for fantasy managers, the Guardians scored three in the tenth, so Smith was able to pick up a less-than-deserving win.

Joey Cantillo

CLE Relief Pitcher #54

Joey Cantillo worked only 3 2/3 innings while allowing two runs in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Cantillo was able to strike out five and showed decent stuff, but the control was an issue throughout. He walked four, and he needed a whopping 91 pitches to get those 14 outs before exiting in the fourth. There were some good moments from Cantillo in this outing, but not enough to call it a quality fantasy start or really anything close. His second outing comes Friday against the Cubs.

Bryan Woo

SEA Starting Pitcher #22

Bryan Woo didn’t factor into the decision Saturday despite allowing just two runs in six innings against the Guardians.

Woo was able to work at least six innings in his first 22 starts of 2025, and he’s able to do it again. He dominated the Guardians for the first five frames, but had some control issues in the sixth that allowed a pair of runs. It’s still a very impressive outing that saw Woo strike out nine, and his overall command was outstanding for the overwhelming majority of the outing. Woo will be back on the bump next week against the Angels, and is a must-start regardless of opponent at this stage.

Freddie Freeman

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Freddie Freeman went 3-for-4 with an RBI in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Freeman doubled home Kyle Tucker to get the Dodgers on the board in the sixth inning. He was hitless over his first two games, and there should be a few more three-hit efforts from the future Hall of Famer before 2026 comes to a close.

Will Smith

LAD Catcher #16

Will Smith hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning to help the Dodgers to a 3-2 win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.

Well, that’s one way to celebrate your 31st birthday. With the Dodgers trailing 2-1, Smith smoked a two-run homer that had an expected batting average of .900 to give Los Angeles a 3-2 lead and ultimately the victory. It’s the second homer of the season for Smith, and he should again be one of the best fantasy backstops in baseball. It wouldn’t be a massive upset if he ended up in the top spot.

Edwin Díaz

LAD Relief Pitcher #3

Edwin Díaz fired a scoreless ninth to pick up a save versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Diaz needed just 10 pitches to get through the lineup, and he didn’t allow a hit, walk a batter or strike anyone out. Pretty boring, but pretty effective, too. Diaz now has saves in back-to-back outings, so he may not be available for Sunday’s finale against Arizona.

Tyler Glasnow

LAD Starting Pitcher #31

Tyler Glasnow allowed two runs over his six innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Glasnow was able to work six innings in his first start of the season; in encouraging sign for a pitcher that has at times struggled to get deep in games early in the year. He generate seven swings-and-misses while procuring six strikeouts, while issuing just one walk. Glasnow’s health is going to be something fantasy managers monitor for the rest of his career, but when he’s on the bump, there aren’t many better. He shouldn’t have any issue handling the Washington lineup next weekend.
