Jazz Chisholm Jr. almost made an excellent play on Lane Thomas’s leadoff triple, which would have stopped the rally before it started. Instead, the Nationals ended up getting two runs after a HBP, a groundball single and a passed ball. It’s Robertson’s third blown save in 10 appearances for the Marlins, matching his total in 40 appearances for the Mets. Robertson figures to remain the Marlins’ closer for now, but those hunting for saves might want to give Tanner Scott a look.

The 25-year-old hurler will add a fresh arm to the Reds’ bullpen while Pierce Johnson is away on bereavement leave. Maxwell really struggled through his first 12 appearances at the Triple-A level, registering a 5.91 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 17/8 K/BB ratio across 10 2/3 innings.

The 34-year-old hurler will be away from the team for a couple of days. Johnson has been a capable addition to the Reds’ bullpen this season, compiling a 4.15 ERA 1.46 WHIP and a 13/4 K/BB ratio over his first 13 innings. Zach Maxwell was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

Dunn was off to a solid start at the Triple-A level, slashing .277.365/.353 with one homer, 13 RBI and seven stolen bases across his first 138 plate appearances. He’ll function in a reserve outfielder role for the Reds and can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rece Hinds was optioned to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Hinds really struggled in his limited action with the Reds, slashing a pitiful .121/.167/.212 with zero homers, five RBI and an 18/1 K/BB ratio in 36 plate appearances. That’s not going to get it done. He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level to work through his contact issues.

Stratton was just recalled on Friday, but he’ll head right back to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room on the active roster for Spencer Strider’s return on Sunday. Stratton has made just one appearance with the Braves this season, firing a scoreless inning while striking out one. It shouldn’t be long before he earns another opportunity with the big league club.

The 27-year-old right-hander will make his highly anticipated season debut on Sunday against the Rockies at Coors Field. He looked sharp during his recent minor league rehab assignments, but fantasy managers should probably wait and see what he looks like on Sunday before trying to rush him back into lineups.

The 29-year-old outfielder was off to a solid start at Triple-A Gwinnett, slashing .270/.348/.420 with a pair of homers, 11 RBI and eight stolen bases in his first 113 plate appearances. He’ll provide depth in the Braves’ outfield with Ronald Acuña Jr. (hamstring) sidelined.

We have yet to receive word on the MRI results, so the severity of the strain — and how much time the superstar outfielder is slated to miss — are not yet known. José Azócar was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move to take his place on the Braves’ active roster.

McGee was just up to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen for a couple of days while the Brewers figured out what to do with Brandon Woodruff’s (shoulder) spot in the rotation. The 28-year-old hurler has thrown two scoreless innings with a 1/1 K/BB ratio in two appearances with the Brewers this season. He should get another opportunity at some point this summer.

As expected, Henderson will join the Brewers to fill the void in their rotation left by the injury to Brandon Woodruff (shoulder). While he has struggled in his lone appearance with the Brewers this season, Henderson registered a scintillating 1.78 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 33/8 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings in five starts for them during the 2025 campaign. The Brewers are working to manage his workload this season, but if they’re going to let him go at least five innings and take the ball regularly in the starting rotation, then he’s worth a look in all mixed leagues.
