Lawrence Butler

ATH Right Fielder #4
Lawrence Butler is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Blue Jays.

This wouldn’t be as notable if not for the fact that Butler also didn’t get the start Saturday, and he underwent offseason surgery to repair a partial tredion tear and debridement of chronic scar tissue in his knee. It’s feasible this is injury-related, but there’s no word as of yet. Brent Rooker is the right fielder for Sunday’s bout, with Shea Langeliers the designated hitter and Austin Wynns getting the start at catcher.

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña is leading off and playing shortstop Sunday against the Angels.

Jacob deGrom

TEX Starting Pitcher #48

Jacob deGrom (neck) was able to play catch from 120 feet away Saturday.

DeGrom told reporters he was confident that he’d be able to to start Tuesday against the Orioles on Saturday, and the fact he was able to throw is a positive sign. He’s also a hurler with a significant injury history and it’s not even April yet, so it won’t be a surprise if he is skipped at least one turn. Fantasy managers should pay close attention for updates Monday, and be prepared for the worst.

Julio Rodríguez

SEA Center Fielder #44

Julio Rodríguez hit a game-tying single in the ninth inning, but the Mariners fell to the Guardians in an extra-inning affair on Saturday.

Rodríguez was hitless coming into the ninth inning in his first three games, but he picked a heck of a time to get that first knock. He laced a single to right-center to score Cole Young with two outs to tie the game at 3-3. He also drew a walk, so he’s now hitting .091/.231/.091 over the first three contests. More fireworks for J-Rod should come soon, but it’s worth nothing he’s gotten off to poor starts in each of his previous campaigns.

Andrés Muñoz

SEA Relief Pitcher #75

Andrés Muñoz allowed three runs — one earned — over an inning to take a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

Muñoz gave up his first run after a throw from Brendan Donovan on a bunt attempt ended up about 40 feet off target to score a run. A batter later, he gave up a two-run shot to Chase DeLauter that was much more quality hitting than a bad pitch from Muñoz. Expect the 27-year-old to bounce back just fine in the coming days, and fortunately only one of the runs is earned for fantasy managers.

Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter hit a two-run homer in the 10th to help the Guardians to a 6-5 win over the Mariners in 10 innings Saturday.

Goodness gracious. DeLauter was struggling throughout this game; going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before the tenth. Then he hit his fourth homer in the first three games of 2026, and it came on a 97 mph fastball on the outer-part of the plate from Andrés Muñoz for a two-run shot. There’s regression coming if only because baseball is too hard for a player to be this good, but it’s impossible to not be impressed — and intrigued — by these first three contests.
