Rotoworld

J.P. France

HOU Starting Pitcher #68

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

J.P. France was charged with three runs (two earned) over five innings on Saturday in a loss to the Royals.

France gave up a sacrifice fly to MJ Melendez in the opening frame before keeping Kansas City’s lineup off the scoresheet until the fifth inning when they pushed a pair of runs across on a Bobby Witt Jr. ground out and a wild pitch. He finished with five strikeouts and only issued one free pass. He’ll carry a solid 3.83 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 101/47 K/BB ratio across 136 1/3 innings (24 appearances, 23 starts) into a road tilt on Friday in his final regular-season outing.

Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Raisel Iglesias recorded the final three outs without giving up a run to pick up a save versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

Iglesias struck out two and threw 7-of-10 pitches for strikes without giving p a hit. That’ll work. The 36-year-old isn’t in danger of giving up the closing gig at this point, as he’s up to three saves without allowing an earned run.

Ketel Marte

AZ 2nd Baseman #4
Ketel Marte is day-to-day with lower back tightness.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo offered an encouraging postgame update after Marte was a late scratch from Tuesday’s contest against the Orioles, telling reporters he’s optimistic he’ll be ready for Wednesday’s series finale. It would be Ildemaro Vargas making another start in his place if he needs additional time off.

Jakob Marsee

MIA Center Fielder #87

Jakob Marsee drove in a run while going 2-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to Atlanta on Tuesday.

Dominic Smith

ATL 1st Baseman #8

Dominic Smith drove in four runs with three coming on a go-ahead double to give Atlanta a 6-5 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

What a find Smith has been thus far for Atlanta. Not only did he drive in a run in the second on a single, but he came up huge in the ninth with a three-run double that turned a 5-3 deficit into a 6-5 lead. Smith is a former top prospect who has at times looked the part, but consistent success has avoided him. It hasn’t to begin 2026 with a slash of .395/.415/.684 and 15 RBI over just 18 games.

Pete Fairbanks

MIA Relief Pitcher #29

Pete Fairbanks worked an inning and allowed three runs while picking up both a loss and a blown save versus Atlanta on Tuesday.

Fairbanks was handed a two-run cushion in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough, he allowed three hits, and the biggest of those was a bases-loaded double from Dominic Smith that scored all three and gave Fairbanks his first blown save as a Marlin. It’s disappointing, but for those who roster the right-hander, he gets the job done more than not, and he’s a lock to stick in the closing role.

Max Meyer

MIA Starting Pitcher #23

Max Meyer worked five innings and allowed three runs while not picking up a decision versus Atlanta on Tuesday.

Meyer’s swing-and-miss stuff was readily apparent, as he generated 14 whiffs on 82 pitches while striking out five. It was still just a so-so start — at least in terms of run prevention, which is pretty important, we suppose — as he gave up a run in the second and two more in the third. Meyer flashes brilliance often, but fantasy managers are still waiting for him to put it together for more than a few outings. The Cardinals are next.

Reynaldo López

ATL Starting Pitcher #40

Reynaldo López allowed four runs in five innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

It was López’s first start back since a five-game suspension for his part in the brawl with the Angels. It didn’t start out very well, as he gave up a run in the first and three more in the second before he settled down. He struggled with his command as seen in three walks and 53-of-96 pitches landing for strikes, but he was able to fan six despite generating only five swings and misses. López has a friendly matchup on paper against the Nationals on Monday.

Nico Hoerner

CHC 2nd Baseman #2

Nico Hoerner went 2-for-6 with three RBI on Tuesday, propelling the Cubs to a 10-4 win over the Phillies.

Hoerner has delivered early-round fantasy value this season as an elite contributor in the batting average department, registering five multi-hit performances through 17 games already. The 28-year-old speedster put Chicago on the board with an RBI single in the third inning before delivering a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth. He’s in the midst of a hot streak, batting .303 (20-for-66) with one homer, 13 RBI and five steals.

Edmundo Sosa

PHI 2nd Baseman #33

Edmundo Sosa drilled a three-run homer on Tuesday in a loss to the Cubs.

Sosa took Cubs reliever Colin Rea deep in the second inning for his first big fly of the season. Unfortunately, Philadelphia’s offense went completely silent afterwards, failing to score until the eighth inning in a one-sided loss to Chicago. The 30-year-old infielder finished 2-for-4 on the night. He could see an uptick in playing time if Alec Bohm’s early-season struggles persist.

Colin Rea

CHC Starting Pitcher #53

Colin Rea allowed three runs over six innings in a bulk relief appearance on Tuesday against the Cubs to pick up a win.

Rea took over after rookie lefty Riley Martin worked a scoreless opening frame and finished with five strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass. He served up a three-run homer to Edmundo Sosa in the second inning, but managed to keep the Phillies off the scoreboard over his final five innings of work. The 35-year-old veteran swingman holds a 3.63 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 15/3 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings of work. He’ll factor into Chicago’s pitching plan against the Mets on Sunday.
