Danny Coulombe

TEX Relief Pitcher #54

Rangers placed LHP Danny Coulombe on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder fatigue.

It’s unclear how long the 35-year-old southpaw will be sidelined for, but it’s fair to question if he’ll be able to make it back before the end of the regular season. Coulombe has been knocked around in 11 appearances with the Rangers after coming over from the Twins in a deadline deal, posting a 7.56 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 10/5 K/BB ratio across 8 1/3 innings.

Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a grand slam as the Mets defeated the Marlins 10-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Soto’s grand slam in the sixth inning was the exclamation mark in a lopsided victory to end the week. The $765 million man has been on an absolute tear, homering nine times in his past 15 contests. It’s a stretch in which Soto also has 16 runs scored, 18 RBI, and even four stolen bases. He’s at the height of his powers despite the offense not living up to expectations for most of the season. The Mets will begin a West Coast trip to Seattle and San Diego on Monday.

Nolan McLean

NYM Starting Pitcher #26

Nolan McLean picked up the win in Sunday’s 10-1 victory over the Marlins, allowing one run on two hits and five walks over five innings pitched.

McLean only struck out two, lowering his ERA to 4.21 on the year. The walks were uncharacteristic for the sophomore right-hander, whose ERA estimators suggest he’s pitched better than his results thus far. McLean entered Sunday with the second-lowest left-on-base rate among qualified starters. He’ll aim to get back on track when visiting the Padres next time out.

John King

MIA Relief Pitcher #47

John King took the loss in Sunday’s 10-1 defeat to the Mets, pitching 1 2/3 innings while allowing two earned runs.

King started Sunday’s bullpen game after Janson Junk was scratched and placed on the injured list with a shin issue. Junk joins Eury Pérez and Robby Snelling as recent rotation losses for a staff that is suddenly extremely thin. King might be used as an opener on bullpen days going forward, but he’ll otherwise revert to middle relief.

Carson Benge

NYM Right Fielder #3

Carson Benge connected for his fourth homer of 2026 as the Mets took down the Marlins 10-1 on Sunday.

The rookie hit a solo homer to begin the bottom of the first, and he later drew a walk while finishing his day with two runs scored. Benge has now hit leadoff in 19 straight contests dating back to May 12, six of which were against left-handed starters. He finishes May with a much better strikeout rate than he showed in April, and his all-around results took a meaningful step forward.

Marcus Semien

NYM 2nd Baseman #10

Marcus Semien went 2-for-2 with a home run, two walks, two RBI, and two runs scored on Sunday.

Semien’s fifth homer of the season was one of three on the day for the Mets. The veteran second baseman has continued a downward slide in his first season in New York, finishing May with a .226/.280/.335 triple slash. Playing time remains his best trait in fantasy as he’s yet to miss a game.

Jakob Marsee

MIA Center Fielder #87

Jakob Marsee went 0-for-3 with a strikeout as the Marlins fell to the Mets on Sunday afternoon.

Marsee finished May with better results than he showed in April, but he simply isn’t hitting for power like he did in the second half of last season. The former Padre has seen his barrel rate and expected stats crater, while both his strikeout and walk rates are up a few ticks. Marsee’s 14 thefts were tied for sixth in the majors entering Sunday, however.

Austin Warren

NYM Relief Pitcher #44

Austin Warren will start Monday’s game against the Mets.

Warren has been extremely effective out of the bullpen with a 1.40 ERA, but the 30-year-old has not worked more than two innings in any of his relief appearances in 2026. He likely will give way to a bulk pitcher at some point, or it will just be a straight bullpen game.

James Wood

WSH Right Fielder #29

James Wood went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk as the Nationals defeated the Padres 4-2 on Sunday.

Wood’s 16th homer of the season was a 113.8 mph rocket to right-center field off Griffin Canning in the bottom of the fifth. The 23-year-old superstar has been sensational, slashing .272/.411/.549 with 10 stolen bases and the aforementioned 16 home runs. Wood also leads MLB with 52 runs scored. He has started and batted leadoff in every game Washington has played this season, leading the charge for the highest-scoring offense in the league.

Zack Littell

WSH Starting Pitcher #18

Zack Littell earned the win and picked up a quality start on Sunday against the Padres, yielding two earned runs on five hits over six innings pitched.

Littell struck out five and walked two, improving to 5-4 and lowering his ERA to 5.01 this season. The veteran righty has been a serviceable innings eater for Washington’s rebuilding rotation, but outings like Sunday have been too few and far between for him to be a fantasy factor this summer. Littell’s next start comes on the road against the Diamondbacks.

Griffin Canning

SD Starting Pitcher #17

Griffin Canning fell to 0-4 on Sunday in Washington, allowing three earned runs on six hits over five innings.

Canning struck out three and walked two. His ERA on the year is an unsightly 7.16, but 12 of those runs came in two of his first three starts since returning from last year’s Achilles injury. Canning has responded with three straight starts where he’s allowed exactly three earned runs. His estimators say he hasn’t been as bad as his ERA suggests, but he still isn’t a recommended fantasy option going forward. He’ll face his former team, the Mets, in his next start.
