Danny Jansen

TEX Catcher #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Danny Jansen went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in the Rangers’ 8-5 defeat of the Orioles on Tuesday.

It’s his first three-hit game since last July 5. Jansen started the Rangers’ first two games, sat in favor of Kyle Higashioka in the next two and then was back in there tonight. The Rangers made it sound like the plan was for Jansen to get a bit more playing time than Higashioka behind the plate, but neither seems like an option outside of two-catcher AL-only leagues.

Messick's start vs. LAD puts him on fantasy radars

March 31, 2026 02:18 PM

After Parker Messick spun six scoreless innings against the Dodgers' ferocious lineup, Eric Samulski says fantasy managers should be "buying into" the Guardians starting pitcher.

Jacob deGrom

TEX Starting Pitcher #48

Jacob deGrom was charged with three runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Orioles on Tuesday.

It would have been one run in five innings if Wyatt Langford hadn’t terribly misread Gunnar Henderson’s shot to left with two outs in the fifth. DeGrom struck out seven and walked none while throwing 79 pitches, which is right where the Rangers said they wanted him before the game. He was making his first start of the season after being scratched Saturday with neck stiffness.

Chris Martin

TEX Relief Pitcher #31

After coming in with a five-run lead, Chris Martin surrendered two runs in the ninth Tuesday against the Orioles.

The Rangers couldn’t resist using their three best relievers, Martin, Robert Garcia and Cole Winn, for the third time in four game tonight, so like they were Monday, they’ll be shorthanded against Wednesday unless they’re willing to use those guys four times in five days. Martin would seem to be very easy to rule out. If Garcia is unavailable, too, maybe Tyler Alexander will get his third save chance already.

Taylor Ward

BAL Left Fielder #3

Taylor Ward went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI versus the Rangers in Tuesday’s loss.

Ward didn’t seem like the ideal choice to open as the Orioles’ leadoff hitter, but he done just fine there so far, batting .300 with a 4/3 K/BB. He is still looking for his first homer. Last year, he had 36 of those for the Angels, though he hit .228 with 175 strikeouts in the process.

Pete Alonso

BAL 1st Baseman #25

Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 and hit his first homer for the Orioles in Wednesday’s loss to Jacob deGrom and the Rangers.

Alonso and deGrom, obviously former Mets teammates, had a little interaction after Alonso’s single in the first, as deGrom made a pickoff throw that nearly hit Alonso while he wasn’t being held on (Jake Burger did scoot over to catch it). Alonso had the last laugh in the fourth, hitting a shot 400 feet to left center. He’s 6-for-19 for his new team.

Owen Caissie

MIA Right Fielder #17

Owen Caissie delivered a go-ahead RBI single on Tuesday, leading the Marlins to a decisive 9-2 win over the White Sox.

Caissie put Miami ahead with a run-scoring single against White Sox starter Erick Fedde as part of a four-run outburst in the fourth inning. He also brought home an additional insurance run with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly. The 23-year-old corner outfielder was the highest-profile prospect to change teams over the offseason and is off to an outstanding start in his Marlins debut, hitting .400 (6-for-15) with one homer, six RBI and one steal through five contests.

Munetaka Murakami

CWS 3rd Baseman #5

Munetaka Murakami went 1-for-4 with an RBI single during Tuesday’s loss to the Marlins.

Murakami’s run-scoring single up the middle in the – carried a 106.2 mph exit velocity. He also struck out twice in this one. The 26-year-old offseason import has pretty much come as advertised in the early portion of his White Sox debut, whiffing frequently while also making occasional hard contact. He’s recorded at least one hit in five straight contests to open his major-league career, batting .278 (5-for-18) with three homers and four RBI.

Pete Fairbanks

MIA Relief Pitcher #29

Pete Fairbanks struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning against the White Sox in a non-save situation on Tuesday.

Fairbanks was already set to enter a four-run game for his first outing since notching back-to-back saves Friday and Saturday when Miami added three insurance runs in the eighth to effectively put the game away. The 32-year-old stopper remains firmly entrenched as the Marlins’ primary closer and has looked extremely sharp in the early stages of the season.

Janson Junk

MIA Starting Pitcher #26

Janson Junk surrendered two runs over 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the White Sox.

Junk finished with five strikeouts and only issued one walk. He gave up five hits with run-scoring singles by Munetaka Murakami and Andrew Benintendi accounting for all the damage against him. He didn’t stick around long enough to qualify for a win in his season debut. He’ll square off against the Reds at home on Monday in his next outing.

Erick Fedde

CWS Starting Pitcher #47

Erick Fedde was charged with four runs — three earned — over five innings on Tuesday in a loss to the Marlins.

Fedde posted four strikeouts and walked one batter in his season debut. He carried a shutout into the fourth inning before the metaphorical wheels came off the wagon his second time through Miami’s lineup as he coughed up four runs on five hits in the frame. He’ll take the ball on Monday against the Orioles his next time out.
