Wilyer Abreu

BOS Right Fielder #52

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Wilyer Abreu walloped a three-run homer in the opening contest of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Guardians.

Abreu was left standing in the on-deck circle in the ninth inning when Trevor Story – with the tying run at third base to end the contest. The -year-old outfielder took Guardians starter Ben Lively deep in the opening frame for his fifth round-tripper of the season. It wound up being his lone hit in three at-bats, although he did draw a walk in the contest. He’s an extremely underrated fantasy contributor at this stage of his career considering his immense power upside.

Brooks Lee

MIN 3rd Baseman #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brooks Lee (illness) is hitting seventh and playing shortstop Saturday against the Rays.

Lee missed a pair of games due to illness, but he’s well enough to be in the lineup for Saturday’s bout against Steven Matz and the Tampa Bay pitching staff.

Patrick Corbin

TOR Starting Pitcher

Patrick Corbin threw five innings and struck out nine for Low-A Dunedin on Sunday.

Corbin threw 74 pitches, with 53 of them landing for strikes. He reportedly averaged 91.2 mph with his sinker, which is right around what he was at wit the offering in 2025. It’s possible Corbin will make one more minor league start, but with Toronto needing help in the rotation, that next outing could come with the Blue Jays.

Casey Schmitt

SF 3rd Baseman #10
Giants manager Tony Vitello told reporters that Casey Schmitt (back) is a “couple days” away from being active.

Schmitt was scratched from the lineup Friday with tightness in his back, and he’ll miss Saturday’s game and likely Sunday’s as well. Consider the 27-year-old day-to-day. Christian Koss has started taking reps at first base before games and could be an option at some point, but Jerar Encarnacion likely will see the not-as-hot corner starts for now.

Taylor Walls

TB Shortstop #6

Taylor Walls (oblique) played in an extended spring training game Friday.

Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that Walls was “feeling great” after the contest. The 29-year-old was placed on the injured list with an oblique strain just before the season, and is expected to return — assuming no setbacks — near the end of April.

Brendan Donovan

SEA 2nd Baseman #33
Brendan Donovan (leg) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against the Angels.

Donovan exited Saturday’s game with leg discomfort, and he unsurprisingly will miss at least one more contest. Luke Raley is moving up to the leadoff spot with Donovan out, and Leo Rivas will handle third base and hit ninth.

Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43
Logan Henderson will start the second game of the doubleheader against the Royals on Saturday.

Henderson will be called up as the 27th player and get the start in the second game of the twin-billing. Brandon Sproat will follow the right-hander, so it’s likely Henderson will only get a time through the lineup at most. There’s long-term upside in the 24-year-old’s profile, but there are probably better options on Saturday’s slate.

Garrett Mitchell

MIL Center Fielder #5

Garrett Mitchell went 2-for-4 with a home run and five RBI to lead the Brewers to a 5-2 win over the Royals on Saturday.

Mitchell put the Brewers on the board in the first inning with a two-run double. He then extended the lead in the third with a three-run blast off Luinder Avila to make it five RBI on the day with his first homer of the season. The 27-year-old outfielder is 6-for-18 (.333) with one homer, three steals, and ten RBI in the early going. His power and speed upside comes with lots of strikeouts, but Mitchell is a solid streamer against right-handed pitching in deeper leagues.

Jac Caglianone

KC Right Fielder #14

Jac Caglianone went 2-for-3 with a walk against the Brewers on Saturday.

Caglianone had a solid day at the plate, reaching three times against the Brewers. His single in the second inning was one of the hardest hit batted balls this season, coming off the bat at 116.1 mph. He then walked in the fourth inning, then knocked his second hit of the game in the sixth, this one just 106.1 mph. The 23-year-old slugger is 8-for-21 (.381) so far while still looking for his first homer and RBI.

Trevor Megill

MIL Relief Pitcher #29

Trevor Megill worked a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to convert a save against the Royals on Saturday.

Megill took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead for the save chance against the Royals. He issued two walks to bring the tying run to the plate, then struck out Vinnie Pasquantino to end the game with his second save of the season. Megill’s usage so far suggests he’s going to get most of, if not all, of Milwaukee’s save chances as long as he’s healthy and effective.

Chad Patrick

MIL Starting Pitcher #39

Chad Patrick tossed five shutout innings with three strikeouts in a win over the Royals on Saturday.

Patrick was excellent on Saturday, spinning five scoreless innings in Kansas City. He did work through some traffic with the help of some excellent defense, scattering four hits and walking three batters. Patrick threw just 47 of 86 pitches for strikes and collected three strikeouts on seven swinging strikes. The 27-year-old right-hander has allowed just one run with a 7/4 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings across his first two starts. He’ll take on the Nationals in Milwaukee on Friday.
