Pages continues his hot April with a three-run shot in the third inning off David Peterson that gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead and Pages his fifth homer of the campaign. As it was his only hit, his batting average dropped to .417 to pair with a .453 on-base percentage that also plummeted. Obviously Pages is due for some regression, but the 25-year-old is clearly talented enough to have some hot runs throughout the 2026 campaign.

Kim has recorded back-to-back multi-hit performances that also include a stolen base, which gives him five thefts in just 16 games this season. The 27-year-old has struggled to carve out a full-time role in Los Angeles, but he’s shown he can be an impactful fantasy contributor in deeper mixed leagues with regular playing time. It’s a mystery how his role will shake out once Mookie Betts (oblique) and Tommy Edman (ankle) are back in a few weeks, but he’s a sneaky steals source in the meantime.

Kurtz walloped a 115.9 mph leadoff homer against Rangers veteran Nathan Eovaldi for a leadoff homer, his second straight contest with a round-tripper, as part of another multi-hit effort. The 23-year-old slugger has gone deep in three of his last four contests and appears to be rounding back into his previously elite form following an excruciatingly slow start to the year. He leads the majors with 28 walks through 25 games.

Braves manager Walt Weiss summoned Harris, who was scratched from Friday’s lineup with left quad tightness, to face Phillies starter Andrew Painter in the sixth inning, and he delivered with a clutch extra-base hit off the base of the left-field wall. The 25-year-old center fielder should remain available off the bench this weekend, even if he’s held out of the starting lineup again.

“He’s going to be down quite a bit here,” Mendoza added. Lindor won’t be cleared to resume baseball activities until at least mid-May, which puts his likely return timeline somewhere in June, in a best-case scenario. The 32-year-old fantasy star hit the shelf with a left calf strain earlier this week. There isn’t an official return timeline from the Mets, but fantasy managers should anticipate Lindor missing a significant amount of time. His extended absence clears the runway for former top prospect Ronny Mauricio to make some noise at the highest level following a strong stretch at Triple-A Syracuse.

Miller allowed just two baserunners while throwing 35 of 47 pitches for strikes in his second rehab outing. The 27-year-old starter is working his way back from an oblique injury that put him on the shelf back in spring training. It seems likely the Mariners will have him make one or two additional rehab starts to continue building up his stamina and workload before Miller makes his season debut in early May.

The results are insignificant as the more important variable is that Rodón built up his pitch count to 65 in his rehab debut. It’s possible the Yankees will have him make an additional tune-up start next week before bringing him back for his season debut. There should be some clarity on his status at some point later this weekend.

Anderson’s latest dominant performance where he allowed just one baserunner was cut short due to inclement weather after just 59 pitches (39 strikes). The 21-year-old southpaw, who was selected third overall in last year’s draft, has looked like one of the top pitching prospects in baseball during his professional debut, recording a sublime 0.48 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 30/4 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings over four starts at the Double-A level. There’s a non-zero chance he makes it to Seattle at some point later this season and he would offer enough strikeout upside to merit a roster spot in all fantasy formats.

Arias went hitless following a surreal hot streak where he homered in three consecutive games and six times in a seven-game span since April 14. The 20-year-old prodigy finished with just eight round-trippers in 116 games last season. His combination of elite plate skills and emerging over-the-fence power at a premium defensive position will position him as an elite fantasy prospect by midseason, if he’s not there already.

Ewing isn’t known for his over-the-fence power, but he’s shown a little extra thump this season while providing his usual blend of batting average and stolen bases. The 21-year-old speedster, who posted three homers and 70 steals in 124 games last year, is hitting .345/.466/.552 with eight extra-base hits and 10 thefts through 16 games at the Double-A level. He projects as a strong batting average and steals source for fantasy purposes once he reaches the big leagues.

It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that Bonemer is already a top-10 fantasy prospect from a dynasty standpoint as he’s slashing a robust .275/.378/.696 with 15 extra-base hits and one steal through 18 games this season. The 20-year-old’s ability to generate consistent hard contact, without sacrificing anything from a plate skills perspective, puts him on a trajectory to finish the year in the upper minors as one of the top prospects in baseball.
