Yelich was unable to continue after the fifth inning due to the injury, and manager Pat Murphy said after the game that there would likely be further bad news here. If Yelich lands on the IL, Jeferson Quero could be called up, allowing the Brewers to use Gary Sánchez at DH fairly regularly.

It was Robert Suarez who came in to pitch during Saturday’s save chance against the Phillies, with Suarez doing the job with a pair of strikeouts. The 36-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, but fantasy managers need to pay close attention to this going forward. If Suarez is still available, he’s essentially a must-add.

Loperfido was held out Saturday with his quad injury, and the 26-year-old will likely need to miss a week-plus due to the injury. A corresponding move will be announced Sunday before the game against St. Louis.

The Astros initially said that Allen was available to play. The Astros say a lot of things. Allen should be considered day-to-day.

Eovaldi gave up eight hits and one walk, and he only struck out three. That being said, two of the runs were unearned because of some shoddy defensive play, and outside of a long homer allowed to Luke Raley, he did a decent job of avoiding hard contact. Eovaldi hasn’t been nearly as good as he was in 2025, but it’s too early to be too worried. He’ll get the A’s at home Friday.

It’s the first win for Seattle over Texas in their five games, and the third win of the season for Kirby. He did allow 10 balls in play that registered as hard hits, but he was able to strike out five while generating a strong 14 swings and misses before exiting in the sixth. Kirby’s command still isn’t at the level we’ve grown accustomed to seeing, but it’s nice to see some whiffs. He’ll gets the Cardinals in St. Louis on Friday.

Sale was in total control tonight, throwing 73 of his 101 pitches for strikes. He allowed five hits, but only four hard-hit balls, none of which checked in at over 99 mph. Even the homer against him was just a 348-footer. The win makes him 4-1 with a 2.79 ERA. He’s due to face the Nationals on Thursday.

Sánchez retired the first two batters in the third before a single, an error, a walk and two more singles did him in. The first run-scoring single was a tapper to the right of the mound that Sánchez fielded before losing his footing. It would have been a tough play anyway for the left-hander. The last hit was a fly to shallow center that Brandon Marsh had no play on. Those were all the runs the Braves needed today. Sánchez was fantastic in striking out eight, and that walk to Matt Olson was the only one he issued on the day. Still, he’s now 2-2 in spite of a 1.59 ERA. He’ll face the Cubs on Thursday.

Dubón’s fly that dropped in front of Brandon Marsh in center ended the scoring for the night in the 3-1 game. Dubón is hitting .315/.359/.479 while getting regular playing time with Ha-Seong Kim out. As of right now, Braves fans would probably want him to keep playing regularly after Kim returns. Still, the offense figures to decline; he was a lifetime .257/.295/.374 hitter coming into 2026.

Reyes’s homer was hit 348 feet to the opposite field. He had six homers in 18 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley before being called up today. The 25-year-old’s outfield defense is a problem and he’s not going to walk at all, but the Phillies really need the offense and will give him some time against lefties for now.
