Only plunking Jo Adell prevented Warren from being perfect through three. However, the fourth started with a José Caballero error, and Warren was pulled after giving up a double with one out and then a single, a walk and another single with two outs. It probably had to be done with Warren up to 37 pitches in the inning. Warren struck out six, and since the run support wasn’t lacking, there’s a great chance he would have gotten a win tonight if only he could have overcome the error. He’ll face the Royals this weekend.

Acuña left Saturday’s game with the hamstring injury, and Atlanta will make sure there’s no structural damage. There’s a good chance that the 28-year-old won’t be in the lineup Sunday regardless, but fantasy managers need to be prepared for a potential extended absence.

Burke was outstanding again, this time in a traditional start. The 26-year-old didn’t give up a single extra-base hit, and he threw 66-of-88 pitches for strikes without issuing a walk. Over his last three outings, Burke has given up a total of two runs — none in his last two — and he’s looked the part doing so. There could be something here, even if it’s understandable if fantasy managers are skeptical. He’ll face the Mariners in Chicago on Friday.

King walked three, struck out five and allowed seven hits. It wasn’t an abhorrent start for the right-hander, but considering the opponent and how well he’d been pitching coming into Saturday, a disappointing one. The 30-year-old did did blank Chicago for the first five frames, but things fell apart from that point on, with two runs scoring in the seventh with King not recording an out. He’ll look to rebound — or at least pitch better in the middle innings — against the Cardinals on Thursday.

Domínguez entered in a 4-0 game, but since the bases were loaded and the tying run was at the plate, he gets the save by recording the final two outs. He’s now up to eight of them on the season, and the scoreless outing lowers the ERA to 3.95.

Building on his fine 2025 campaign, Dingler has six homers and 23 RBI in 29 games to open the season. And Statcast still thinks he’s been terribly unlucky at the plate. He entered tonight with a .247 average and a .310 xBA. He had a .464 slugging and a .600 xSLG, with his 13 barrels and 51 percent hard-hit rate.

Although he was going to open up in the minors, Montero looked like a deep sleeper this spring because of a nice velocity boost leading into the WBC. As it turned out, that extra velocity disappeared as soon as the season stated, but Montero has been quite effective anyway, going 2-2 with a 3.48 ERA in six starts. He’ll almost certainly start giving up more homers going forward — he’s allowed one every 11 innings this season, compared to a career rate of one every 5 1/2 innings — but if he can hold on to the improvement in his walk rate, he’s certainly a solid enough fourth or fifth starter for Detroit. He’ll face the Royals next weekend.
