HOU 1st Baseman #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Christian Walker is in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies.

Walker is at first base and batting fifth after missing a game over the weekend due to a minor leg issue. The 35-year-old veteran slugger has gone just 5-for-23 at the plate over his last seven contests.

Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cal Raleigh didn’t play Saturday because of general soreness.

The Mariners are being very elusive about this, as the unknown injury that got Raleigh scratched required imaging, the results of which are still unknown. Maybe he’ll prove to be just fine in a day or two, but the lack of transparency seems like a reason for concern.

Oswald Peraza

LAA 2nd Baseman #2

Oswald Peraza singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th to give the Angels a 4-3 win over the Mets on Saturday.

Peraza was the hero with an RBI single to score Adam Frazier to give the Angels the win in the bottom of the 10th. He also doubled and singled in the contest. The former upper-echelon prospect in the Yankees’ system has enjoyed his new surroundings, and is now slashing .295/.361/.489 on the campaign. It’s very plausible — but far from a guarantee — that this is the breakout campaign.

Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

Juan Soto went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Angels on Saturday.

The stolen base is the first of the season for Soto. The 27-year-old swiped 38 of them in 2025, and it seems very unlikely that he’s going to approach that number again; at least not in 2026. The .338/.442/.538 slash certainly helps compensate for the lack of thefts.

Nolan McLean

NYM Starting Pitcher #26

Nolan McLean was only able to complete four innings while allowing three runs in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.

McLean struck out six and issued just one walk, but despite throwing just 78 pitches — 51 of them strikes — he was unable to get through five innings for the first time this year. The 24-year-old didn’t exactly full the Los Angeles lineup, as he generated just six swings and misses while allowing four hard-hit balls before exiting. Nobody’s perfect. McLean gets the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Friday.

Reid Detmers

LAA Starting Pitcher #48

Reid Detmers didn’t factor into the decision after allowing three runs in 6 1/3 innings with eight strikeouts against the Mets on Saturday.

Detmers limited the Mets to one run over six innings, but he gave up a couple more in the seventh to take away a chance of a win. The southpaw has had several outings look like this in 2026, which is neither a compliment nor an insult. The southpaw takes a 4.28 ERA into a scheduled start over the weekend against the Blue Jays, and similar results shouldn’t surprise anyone. This is just who Detmers is.

Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. will undergo imaging on his left hamstring after leaving Saturday’s game against the Rockies.

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.

Sean Burke

CWS Starting Pitcher #59

Brock Burke allowed no runs in six innings while striking out eight to get a win in a 4-0 victory for the White Sox on Saturday over the Padres.

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.

Michael King

SD Starting Pitcher #34

Michael King was charged for a loss after giving up four runs over six innings to the White Sox on Saturday.

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.

Seranthony Domínguez

CWS Relief Pitcher #58

Seranthony Domínguez got the final two outs Saturday to record a save versus the Padres.

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.

Dillon Dingler

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer to power the Tigers past the Rangers 5-1 on Saturday.

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.
