DJ LeMahieu

NYY 2nd Baseman #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

DJ LeMahieu, on the IL with a calf strain, is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset.

It sounded like this would happen about a week ago, but everyone is still taking things slowly here. The Yankees have thus far gotten a .263/.333/.342 line from their third basemen. LeMahieu has hit .252/.336/.362 over the last four seasons.

Austin Martin

MIN Left Fielder #16

Austin Martin is not in Minnesota’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the White Sox.

It appears to be just a routine day off for Martin, who is sitting against White Sox RHP Davis Martin while Kody Clemens gets some reps in right field. Martin is hitting just .220/.270/.339 in his last 16 games as a (mostly) full-time starter after the Twins optioned out Matt Wallner.

Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is not counting on Casey Mize (groin) to make his next start.

It’s reportedly the same injury that caused Mize to be placed on the injured list in late April. Mize didn’t think the injury was as severe as it was last time, but Hinch said he didn’t “really have a gut feeling” on how much time Mize would miss. It sounds like an return stint on the IL isn’t out of the question. Drew Anderson could be a short-term solution for the rotation.

Oswald Peraza

LAA 2nd Baseman #2
Oswald Peraza is not in Los Angeles’ starting lineup against the Tigers on Thursday.

Peraza had started the last five games, mostly against right-handed starters, at second base. Adam Frazier will pick up a start on a getaway day. Peraza is hitting .271/.340/.451 with six homers and five steals. He’s been a bit of a find as a reclamation project by the Angels so far this year.

Tayler Saucedo

LAA Relief Pitcher #55

Angels optioned LHP Tayler Saucedo to Triple-A Salt Lake.

It is Saucedo’s second return to Salt Lake this month as the Angels’ bullpen health has improved. Saucedo managed two holds and a 4.50 ERA in two innings. The 32-year-old holds a 4.82 ERA in 18 2/3 innings for Triple-A Salt Lake so far this year.

Drew Pomeranz

LAA Relief Pitcher #13

Angels activated LHP Drew Pomeranz from the 15-day injured list.

Pomeranz wound up doing the minimum 15-day stint after going down with elbow inflammation. With a 7.20 ERA in 15 innings before getting hurt, Pomeranz has a lot of improvement to find before becoming interesting in fantasy baseball.

Teoscar Hernández

LAD Left Fielder #37
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Teoscar Hernández (hamstring) will be placed on the injured list.

Hernández left last night’s game with a left hamstring strain and figures to miss multiple weeks. The 33-year-old corner outfielder had produced an .892 OPS in a resurgent May. Alex Call would figure to get more playing time going forward if Hernández’s injury doesn’t force the Dodgers into thinking about some of their better prospects, like James TIbbs III, who has a 1.028 OPS in Triple-A Oklahoma City with 12 home runs.

Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a victory for the Dodgers on Wednesday over the Rockies.

Pages extended the Dodgers’ lead to 4-1 with a solo homer off Antonio Senzatela. That makes back-to-back games with a roundtripper for Pages, and he’s already up to 13 on the campaign. On a team that is overloaded with superstars and future Hall of Famers, Pages has been as good as anyone for the Dodgers over the first two months of 2026.

Freddie Freeman

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Freddie Freeman hit a solo home run to help the Dodgers beat the Rockies on Wednesday.

Freeman doubled the Dodgers’ lead to 2-0 with a solo homer off Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning; one batter after Shohei Ohtani clobbered a solo shot to begin the game. He also singled to bump his slash to .271/.368/.462. That’s far from an unplayable slash, but a smidgen disappointing just because Freeman has been so much better than that line over his career.

Kyle Hurt

LAD Relief Pitcher #63

Kyle Hurt fired a scoreless ninth to pick up a save against the Rockies on Wednesday.

It’s Hurt’s first MLB save, and the way he’s pitched, it may not be his last. The 27-year-old struck out Willi Castro to end the game, and he didn’t allow a hit or a walk while lowering his ERA to an exceptional 1.06 in the process. It’s far from a guarantee Hurt will get the ninth inning on a consistent basis, but he’s certainly shown the ability to be an effective bullpen option that is deserving of consideration.

Tomoyuki Sugano

COL Starting Pitcher #11

Tomoyuki Sugano allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings while picking up a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Sugano gave up two runs in the first, both on solo homers by Shohei Ohtani by Freddie Freeman. From that point on he was solid, but the damage was done with Ohtani throwing six no-hit innings and allowing just a run. Sugano doesn’t miss enough bats to truly trust as a fantasy streamer, but the results — especially considering who he’s pitching for — have been better than expected. He’ll try and keep the ball in the park against the Angels next week.
