Luke Raley

SEA Right Fielder #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Luke Raley went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in a win for the Mariners on Sunday over the Astros.

Raley doubled twice, and his second two-bagger drove in a pair of runs to extend Seattle’s lead to 6-1. The 31-year-old hasn’t homered since going deep in the first three games, but his overall slash of .255/.314/.532 will certainly play.

Matt Olson

ATL 1st Baseman #28

Matt Olson connected on a solo homer in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

It was a garbage-time homer for Olson as it came with Atlanta already leading 8-1. Still counts. The 32-year-old has been outstanding to open the year, as this was already his 11th homer of the season, and he’s now slugging .639 on the campaign.

Austin Riley

ATL 3rd Baseman #27

Austin Riley went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in a blowout win for Atlanta on Saturday over the Rockies.

Riley has been awful to begin the season, but after a two-hit game Friday, the 29-year-old had one of his best games of 2026. He not only hit his third homer, but he also stole his third base, drew a walk and scored a couple of runs. Even with the solid contest, he’s still slashing .205/.287/.346, but fantasy managers know what kind of runs Riley is capable of going on. Perhaps this is the start.

Drake Baldwin

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin hit a two-run homer while driving in four runs and going 3-for-4 in a blowout win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Baldwin made it a 2-0 lead for Atlanta with his homer off Brennan Bernardino in the first inning. He also doubled, singled and walked to improve his slash to .312/.391/.522 over the first 33 games of the year. Atlanta has looked like one of the best teams in baseball to begin the year, and Baldwin is a big reason for that.

Chase Dollander

COL Starting Pitcher #32

Chase Dollander worked 5 1/3 innings and allowed six runs against Atlanta on Sunday.

Dollander worked as the bulk hurler Saturday, and he was fortunate that Brennan Bernardino gave up a pair of runs so he doesn’t get the loss. That’s not to say he was good, as he gave up eight hits and three walks while striking out three. It’s disappointing after his impressive previous pair of outings, but these things happen; especially for 24-year-olds. He’ll likely face the Phillies on Friday.

Chris Sale

ATL Starting Pitcher #51

Chris Sale struck out 11 over seven innings of one-run baseball to pick up a win in a 9-1 thrashing of the Rockies on Saturday.

Sale was exceptional, generating 20 swings-and-misses while giving up just two hits and three walks. The left-hander did allow six hard-hit balls, but it sure didn’t feel like it while throwing 70-of-102 pitches for strikes. That’s 20 strikeouts over his last two games, and his ERA has dwindled to 2.14 with a 49/12 K/BB ratio. Sale has a marquee matchup coming Friday, as he’ll take on the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Michael McGreevy

STL Starting Pitcher #36

Michael McGreevy shut out the Dodgers for six innings in the Cardinals’ 3-2 victory Saturday.

McGreevy allowed three hits, walked three and struck out three while mostly generating soft contact in this one. For the season, he has a fantastic 2.52 ERA, though with his 16 percent strikeout rate and average 44 percent groundball rate, it still rather looks flukey. He’ll take on the Padres next week.

Riley O'Brien

STL Relief Pitcher #61

Riley O’Brien picked up his ninth save despite giving up two runs and four hits in the ninth against the Dodgers on Saturday.

O’Brien recorded the first two outs, one on a 107-mph liner to right, before giving up four straight singles in a 3-0 game. The Dodgers sent up Dalton Rushing as a pinch-hitter at that point, but he struck out to end the game. Dominant for most of last month, O’Brien has now given up four runs in his last three appearances. Still, he remains a strong bet going forward.

Roki Sasaki

LAD Starting Pitcher #11

Roki Sasaki gave up three runs in six innings Saturday in a loss to the Cardinals.

It’s the second time Sasaki has gone six innings as a major leaguer and thus his second quality start in 14 tries. All of the runs came in the third, when the Cardinals went double, double, homer to start the inning. Sasaki finished with two walks and four strikeouts, three of which came on the harder splitters he’s been using his last couple of starts. He’s now 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA, but this was at least a somewhat positive effort. He’ll face the Braves next weekend.

Jordan Walker

STL Right Fielder #18

Jordan Walker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Dodgers in Saturday’s win.

After a little two-week break, Walker is back hitting again the last five games, going 11-for-23 with two homers, 11 RBI and a couple of steals. He’s probably not the superstar he was the first two weeks of the season, but it looks like he’s improved enough to remain a fine fantasy contributor.

Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Ohtani is 0-for-11 in his last three games, though he did walk three times in the first of those. He’s homered just once in 16 games, which qualifies as a drought for a guy who hit 54 and 55 the last two years.
