Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Shohei Ohtani had a homer, a double and a sac fly Sunday as the Dodgers came back to beat the Nationals 8-6.

The Nationals were up 6-1 after five, but that wasn’t enough. Ohtani was responsible for the Dodgers’ one early run, taking Foster Griffin deep in the third. He has two homers and six RBI through nine games. His next start as a pitcher is due to come Wednesday in the finale of a three-game against the Blue Jays starting on Monday.

Jarren Duran

BOS Left Fielder #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jarren Duran stayed hot on Sunday in Cleveland, finishing 1-for-3 with a homer, two walks, and two runs scored as the Red Sox beat the Guardians 9-4.

Duran’s homer was his 10th of the year and the sixth in his past 11 games. He won’t stay quite this hot for long, as his recent streak has coincided with a mid-30s K% and a BABIP north of .450. Still, it’s encouraging to see after an offseason of trade rumors and a slow start to 2026. Duran started and hit leadoff in every May game the Red Sox played, a role that suited him well in his career year back in 2024.

Ranger Suarez

BOS Starting Pitcher #55

Ranger Suarez struck out 10 in Sunday’s no-decision against the Guardians, allowing four earned runs on eight hits across five innings pitched.

Suarez allowed two free passes while the 10 punchouts tied a season high. He had worked around traffic until a taxing fifth inning ended his day at 93 pitches. The lefty now has a 3.38 ERA, which is in line with expectations after committing to a five-year, $130 million pact with the Red Sox this offseason. He’ll face a tough matchup with a trip to Yankee Stadium in his next start.

Tanner Bibee

CLE Starting Pitcher #28

Tanner Bibee earned a quality start in Sunday’s no-decision against the Red Sox, yielding three earned runs on six hits over innings.

Bibee struck out five and walked one. He allowed an early homer to Jarren Duran but made it through six efficiently, finishing at 90 pitches. The 27-year-old hasn’t matched the sub-3 ERA he showed as a rookie in 2023, but his peripherals are mostly consistent year-to-year. A high HR/9 rate is hurting him this season. He’ll visit the Rangers’ pitching-friendly home park in his next start.

Aroldis Chapman

BOS Relief Pitcher #44

Aroldis Chapman struck out two and threw a scoreless ninth as the Red Sox took down the Guardians 9-4 on Sunday.

Chapman was pitching for the first time since May 20, an 11-day span where the Red Sox couldn’t get him work. Sunday wasn’t a save opportunity, but he simply needed to pitch at this point, and he’s certainly fresh entering a nine-game divisional stretch that begins with the Orioles on Tuesday. Chapman is the only reliever in the league who still has 100% of his team’s saves.

Wilyer Abreu

BOS Right Fielder #52

Wilyer Abreu went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, and a run scored as the Red Sox defeated the Guardians 9-4 on Sunday.

Abreu has been an everyday player for Boston this year, having sat just once on April 15. The lefty-swinging right fielder primarily bats third or fourth, but the team’s lack of run-scoring so far has held back his counting stats. Abreu finishes May with season totals of six homers, four stolen bases, and a .350 OBP.

Brayan Rocchio

CLE Shortstop #4

Brayan Rocchio went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored as the Guardians fell 9-4 to the Red Sox on Sunday.

Rocchio is now batting .293 to go along with four homers and nine stolen bases. He nearly cut his strikeout rate in half, dropping it from 20% to 12% so far in 2026. The well-rounded production with everyday playing time has been enormously valuable in deeper roto leagues.

J.T. Realmuto

PHI Catcher #10

J.T. Realmuto exited Sunday’s game against the Dodgers with a left wrist contusion.

Realmuto suffered the injury when he was plunked in the wrist earlier in the contest, and he was unable to continue. The Phillies will likely have Realmuto undergo further testing to make sure there’s no structural damage. If Realmuto has to miss time, Rafael Marchán likely sees the majority of the time behind the plate.

Ty Madden

DET Starting Pitcher #36

Ty Madden (forearm) will come off the injured list to pitch Monday against the Rays.

Madden will either start Monday’s game against Tampa Bay, or they will have him pitch in bulk behind an opener. The right-hander will miss just over the minimum 15 days after being hit in the forearm by a 107.9 mph line drive. Madden is worth streaming consideration against weaker lineups, but Tampa Bay — and his first time back on the mound in a bit — make it a risky proposition.

JJ Bleday

CIN Left Fielder #22

JJ Bleday delivered a pair of RBI doubles against Spencer Strider to help the Reds top the Braves 6-4 on Sunday.

Bleday went 6-for-11 with two homers and five RBI in the series against the Braves and now has his OPS back over 1.000. He doesn’t qualify for leaderboards yet after opening up in the minors, but he’d currently rank third in the majors and first in the NL in OPS. His 1.040 mark trails only Ben Rice’s 1.066 and Yordan Alvarez’s 1.050.

Nick Lodolo

CIN Starting Pitcher #40

Nick Lodolo yielded three runs in 6 2/3 innings Sunday in a win over the Braves.

Lodolo gave up two homers, but they were both solo shots leading off innings. He issued four walks, but none of those came back to bite him. He should feel pretty fortunate to pitch like he did and still earn a win over one of baseball’s best teams. He’ll take on St. Louis next week with a 2-1 record and a 5.20 ERA on the season.
