The 32-year-old Henriquez pitched for the Rays’ Dominican Summer League teams in 2014 and ’15 before being released. He’s resurfaced as a high-90s throwing reliever with an impressive changeup in the Dominican Winter League, so the Orioles will give him a look next spring.

The 28-year-old Ward, who was hitting .328/.432/.588 with four homers for Triple-A Oklahoma City, deserves a shot, but it’s hard to see him winding up with any sort of significant role on the Dodgers unless an outfielder is hurt. If there’s no injury, Santiago Espinal would be the obvious choice to go to make room for Ward. He’s just 2-for-14 this season.

The 27-year-old speedster drew a two-out walk off of Tomoyuki Sugano in the third inning and swiped second base but was left stranded there. He then singled in the fifth and again pilfered second but the Dodgers couldn’t cash him in. For the season, he’s now slashing .286/.407/.476 with a homer, three RBI and three stolen bases in his first 27 plate appearances. If he continues to see regular action while Mookie Betts is sidelined, Kim’s speed makes him a viable option in deeper mixed leagues.

Glasnow scattered just two hits and two walks on the evening. The lone tally against him came as Mickey Moniak led off the fourth inning with a double and came around to score on a ground ball. Glasnow got 12 swings and misses on 92 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.24 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 29/6 K/BB ratio (25 innings) into Thursday’s matchup against the Giants in San Francisco. As long as Glasnow stays healthy, fantasy managers should continue to expect elite results.

Moniak worked Tyler Glasnow for a one-out walk in the opening inning and swiped second base, but the Rockies were unable to cash him in from there. He then led off the fourth inning with a double and scored the Rockies’ lone run on an RBI ground out off the bat of Troy Johnston. The 27-year-old outfielder is off to a solid start to the 2026 season, slashing .261/.300/.630 with five homers, nine RBI and one stolen base in his first 50 plate appearances.

The 36-year-old right-hander walked two batters while striking out three on the night. The Dodgers got to him early and often in this one, pushing runs across in each of his four innings of work, including a solo blast by Max Muncy in the second. Sugano generated nine swings and misses on 91 pitches on the night, registering an underwhelming CSW of 22 percent. He’ll attempt to get back on track as he totes a 3.92 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 15/5 K/BB ratio (20 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s start against the Padres.

Suárez broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a two-run double off of Twins’ right-hander Joe Ryan. That would be the extent of the scoring for the Reds in the ballgame, but that’s all Brandon Williamson and company would require. Suárez is off to a nice start in his return to the Reds this season, slashing .257/.333/.414 with three homers and 11 RBI.

Arenado’s homer off Eric Lauer left his bat at 107.5 mph, a nearly four-mph improvement on his season high. Since the beginning of 2024, he’d hit just two balls harder than that, topping out at 108.3 mph. Arenado now has three homers this week, but his EV numbers are still down from last year and he’s striking out twice as often as he did last season (23 percent vs. 11 percent). There still isn’t much reason to pick him up in mixed leagues.

Soroka walked none. He had only seven whiffs on 54 swings and a 20 percent CSW, but a .200 BABIP carried him tonight. That’s the opposite of how his previous starts had gone, as he entered tonight with a 34 percent strikeout rate but a .353 BABIP. Soroka is now 4-0 with a 2.78 ERA. It still doesn’t seem likely that he’ll provide much long-term value in mixed leagues, but there’s little harm in riding him for now, especially since he’ll probably make his next start against the White Sox.

Sewald has faced the minimum in three straight appearances, all of which resulted in saves. The home run ball might lead to his downfall at some point, but he’s MLB saves leader right now.

Lauer had better velocity tonight, with his fastball climbing 1.3 mph from his season mark of 90.2 mph. Still, he gave up a homer in his third inning of work and two runs on a walk and three singles in his fourth inning. He’s 1-3 with a 7.13 ERA, and he’s probably looking at getting bumped back to middle relief at the end of this month or in early May. First, he figures to start or again work behind an opener Wednesday against the Angels.
