Kody Funderburk

MIN Relief Pitcher #55

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Twins recalled LHP Kody Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul.

Funderburk gives the Twins a second left-hander in the bullpen, as he’s replacing Anthony Misiewicz after Misiewicz was placed on the injured list with a shoulder impingement. Funderburk won’t pitch in a role that garners any sort of fantasy significance.

Andrew Abbott

CIN Starting Pitcher #41

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Andrew Abbott allowed three runs in six inning and got a no-decision in the Reds’ 4-3 victory over the Royals on Tuesday.

Abbott gave up five hits, walked four and struck out five. He left the game trailing 3-1, but the Reds scored in the ninth inning to tie the game and get him off the hook for the loss. Abbott has a 4.06 ERA this year after posting a 2.87 ERA last year despite having a 4.31 xFIP. His xFIP this year is 4.87. Abbott doesn’t have the underlying skills to fall back on, making him a mediocre pitcher who’s difficult to trust in fantasy. He’s lined up to face the Padres on the road next week.

Kazuma Okamoto

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run against the Braves on Tuesday.

Okamoto’s home run was his 13th. He hit a two-run shot off Bryce Elder with two outs in the second inning. The Blue Jays would only score one other run and lose 4-3. Despite excellent power numbers (.216 ISO), Okamoto is hitting .221. His 31.8 percent strikeout percentage is going to keep his average down while his power continues to drive his fantasy value.

Matt Olson

ATL 1st Baseman #28

Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a double and a solo home run against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Olson’s home run was his 17th of the season. He started the sixth inning by hitting a solo shot off Kevin Gausman. Olson’s home run was the deciding run of the game. He’s hitting .265 with 46 RBI and a .901 OPS.

Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Raisel Iglesias tossed a scoreless ninth inning and picked up the save against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Iglesias’ save was his 11th of the year. After the Braves signed Robert Suarez this offseason, some fantasy managers were worried about Iglesias’ role. The 36-year-old right-hander has undeniably been one of the better closer picks at this point considering he’s 11-for-11 in save opportunities and has a 0.96 ERA.

Elder gave up six hits, walked one and struck out six. He improved to 5-3 with the win. Elder allowed a two-run home run to Kazuma Okamoto in the second inning, but only allowed one other run. He has a 2.63 ERA. Elder is lined up to face the Pirates on Sunday.

Daylen Lile

WSH Left Fielder #4

Daylen Lile went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored against the Marlins on Tuesday.

Lile had his first multi-hit game since May 21. In his last 16 games entering play Tuesday, Lile was hitting just .182 and saw his average fall from .274 to .249. The 23-year-old outfielder was on base three times Tuesday with two singles and a walk. It could be the start of Lile getting back on track.

Heriberto Hernández

MIA Left Fielder #13

Heriberto Hernández went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI against the Nationals on Tuesday.

Hernández’ two home runs give him five this year. He hit a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning and a two-run shot off Mitchell Parker in the ninth inning. Hernández moved into the leadoff spot Tuesday after homering in Monday’s game, giving him three home runs already this week. The Marlins might want to stick with him at the top of the order for now.

Brandon Marsh

PHI Left Fielder #16

Brandon Marsh went 4-for-4 with a steal in the Phillies’ 3-2 win over the Padres on Monday.

Just one of Marsh’s singles was hard hit, but three were line drives to the outfield and the softest hit of the bunch got past Gavin Sheets at first base. Marsh is batting an incredible .332 this year. He entered 2026 with a career mark of .261 and a high of .280 from last season. He’s not actually hitting the ball any harder than usual, but it does help that he’s cut his strikeout rate. He’s currently at 22 percent, down from 26 percent last year and 33 percent from 2021-24.
