Hyeseong Kim

LAD 2nd Baseman #6

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Hyeseong Kim went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two stolen bases on Wednesday, leading the Dodgers to a 10-7 win over the Diamondbacks in Cactus League play.

With Tommy Edman (ankle) set to open the season on the injured list, there’s some runway for Kim to make some early-season noise. The 27-year-old speedster offers enough stolen base upside to matter in deeper mixed leagues as a temporary stopgap option. He’ll occupy a versatile bench role with the Dodgers once their ever-expanding Death Star of a lineup is back at full power.

Jonny DeLuca

TB Right Fielder #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Jonny DeLuca (hamstring) will likely require a trip to the injured list.

The official roster move is unlikely to be made until later this weekend following Saturday’s rainout at Yankee Stadium. Victor Mesa Jr. is the likely call-up from Triple-A Durham to fill his roster spot. DeLuca left Friday’s series opener with a right hamstring issue that occurred when he went first-to-third on a seventh-inning double by teammate Cedric Mullins. He’s likely facing a multi-week absence, even if the strain proves to be relatively minor.

Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40
Saturday’s showdown between the Rays and Yankees has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Simply put, there was no possible way to get this game in with widespread showers in the forecast throughout the afternoon and evening at Yankee Stadium. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on September 22. Saturday’s original starting pitchers — Drew Rasmussen and Ryan Weathers — will presumably get the ball on Sunday afternoon instead.

Kyle Schwarber

PHI Designated Hitter #12

Kyle Schwarber went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on Friday against the Guardians in his return to the lineup.

It doesn’t come as a total surprise to see Schwarber looking a bit rusty after missing three consecutive games due to illness earlier this week. The 33-year-old slugger leads the majors with 20 home runs this season and has been arguably the hottest hitter in baseball since the start of May. He’s going to be just fine.

Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. went 0-for-4 with a walk against the Nationals on Friday in his return to the lineup.

Acuña reached base just once in five plate appearances out of the leadoff spot during the 11-inning marathon that ended with Chadwick Tromp’s walk-off single. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar made it back into Atlanta’s lineup after suffering a bone bruise in his left thumb during Thursday’s contest against the Marlins. It doesn’t appear that Acuña will require any additional time off, but it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see the Braves carefully manage his workload this weekend.

Brandon Nimmo

TEX Right Fielder #24

Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Friday’s loss to the Angels.

Nimmo was back in Texas’ lineup after making an early exit from Wednesday’s contest with hamstring tightness. The 33-year-old took Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez deep in the fourth inning for his sixth round-tripper of the season. He also added a run-scoring double in the seventh as part of a multi-hit effort.

Yandy Díaz

TB Designated Hitter #2

Yandy Díaz went 0-for-3 with a walk on Friday against the Yankees in his return to the lineup.

The Rays and fantasy managers caught a break when Díaz managed to avoid serious injury after taking a pitch off his fingers on both hands earlier this week. The 34-year-old on-base machine, who has been one of the top hitters in the American League this season, wound up missing only one game after X-rays and a CT scan didn’t reveal any fractures.

J.P. Crawford

SEA Shortstop #3
J.P. Crawford went 0-for-4 on Friday against the Royals in his return to the lineup.

Crawford is expected to see action at the hot corner with top prospect Colt Emerson in the majors until further notice. The 31-year-old infielder returned to Seattle’s lineup for Friday’s series opener following a two-game absence due to a lingering triceps issue. It’s worth noting that he was back at shortstop with Emerson at the hot corner on Friday night.

Victor Robles

SEA Right Fielder #10

Victor Robles went 0-for-2 on Friday against the Royals in his return to the lineup.

Robles made it back into Seattle’s lineup after missing six weeks with a right pectoral strain. The 29-year-old former top prospect will likely have to split time with Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley moving forward.

José Caballero

NYY Shortstop #72
José Caballero went 2-for-4 on Friday against the Rays in his return to the lineup.

Caballero was also thrown out attempting to steal second base during his return from the injured list after missing just over one week with a fractured finger. The 29-year-old speedster will continue as New York’s primary shortstop with Anthony Volpe expected to see time at second base moving forward.

Trent Grisham

NYY Center Fielder #12

Trent Grisham went 3-for-5 with a pair of double on Friday against the Rays in his return to the lineup.

Grisham was back in the leadoff spot and patrolling center field following a brief one-game absence due to left knee discomfort. He appeared just fine while delivering three hits, including a pair of doubles, after imaging didn’t reveal any structural damage. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward.
