Landon Knack

LAD Starting Pitcher #96

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Dodgers optioned RHPs Landon Knack, Ricky Vanasco and Nick Frasso, OF Andy Pages and Cs Hunter Feduccia and Diego Cartaya to Triple-A Oklahoma City; Re-assigned LHP Stephen Gonsalves, OF Travis Swaggerty and RHPs Jesse Hahn, Michael Petersen and Eduardo Salazar to minor league camp.

With the Dodgers and Padres set to open the regular season sooner than the rest of the league, expect them to trim down their rosters more quickly than the rest of the league. Knack, 26, had been a dark horse to see occasional starts as part of a six-man rotation to begin the season, but he’ll start out as excess depth at the Triple-A level instead.

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.
