Yusei Kikuchi

LAA Starting Pitcher #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Former Los Angeles Times writer, Mike DiGiovanna reported on “Halo Territory” that sources have told him Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) is “gonna be out for several months, if not the whole season.”

DiGiovanna covered the Angels for decades when he was working with The Times, so it would make sense for him to still have sources connected to the organization. A multiple-month absence for shoulder inflammation is also not an unrealistic outcome, so much of this makes sense. The Angels have not yet confirmed any timeline for Kikuchi, but if he were to miss an extended period of time, Caden Dana would figure to get a chance to stick in the rotation until Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) or Alek Manoah (finger) make their season debut.
Ha-Seong Kim

ATL Shortstop #7

Ha-Seong Kim (finger) has moved his rehab to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Kim played his first game of the season at Double-A Columbus on Wednesday and will now move up a level. He did not get any spring training after tearing a tendon in his finger in the offseason, so he will likely need at least a week at Triple-A before potentially joining Atlanta.
Matt Olson

ATL 1st Baseman #28

Matt Olson hit his 300th career homer off Logan Gilbert in Monday’s loss to the Mariners.

After falling barely shy of 30-homer and 100-RBI seasons the last two years, it doesn’t look like Olson intends to leave anything to chance this season. He’s already racked up 12 homers and 32 RBI in 36 games and is on the short list of NL MVP candidates to date.
Munetaka Murakami

CWS 3rd Baseman #5

Munetaka Murakami homered, scored three runs and went 3-for-4 to lead the White Sox to a 6-0 win over the Angels on Monday.

Of course he did. Murakami also didn’t strike out, which is nice to see from a player who has already whiffed 50 times. It’s tough to be mad at that strikeout total when you’re hitting the ball over the fence as often as he is, and he took José Soriano deep for his 14th homer of the campaign. There are going to be moments where Murakami’s swing-and-miss makes him a borderline unplayable option, but he’s at the very least proven that power he showed in Japan can certainly play at this level. This has been very impressive. Obvious point is obvious.
Trevor McDonald

SF Starting Pitcher #72

Trevor McDonald held the Padres to one run over seven innings while striking out eight in a 3-1 win for the Giants on Monday.

McDonald pounded the strike zone; landing 60-of-81 pitches while allowing only two hits. The 25-year-old was just recalled Monday for the series-opener, and he generated 10 swings and misses while allowing a respectable seven hard-hit balls in the process. McDonald impressed in his MLB time last year, as well, but there’s no word yet as to when — or if — he’ll get another turn in the rotation.
Jackson Chourio

MIL Center Fielder #11

Jackson Chourio went 4-for-4, but the Brewers fell 6-3 to the Cardinals on Monday

Chourio also walked. It was the first game of the season for Chourio after missing six weeks to begin the year due to a hand fracture, and outside of the fact that the Brewers didn’t win, it couldn’t have gone much better. Two of the hits were doubles, and both of those extra-base hits were clocked above 108 mph in exit velocity. Chourio probably won’t hit 1.000 on the year, but the 22-year-old offers enormous upside in his right-handed bat, and more games like this are likely.
Roman Anthony

BOS Left Fielder #19

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said X-rays on Roman Anthony’s right wrist came back negative for any fractures.

Tracy added that Anthony is heading back to Boston to undergo further evaluation with a hand specialist out of an abundance of caution, which means he’s going to miss at least a couple games, even if he manages to avoid a trip to the injured list. The 21-year-old rising star left Monday’s game against the Tigers with right wrist discomfort following an awkward swing in his first at-bat. It’s obviously a positive initial update, but fantasy managers should have some additional clarity later this week.
Bryce Harper

PHI 1st Baseman #3

Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 with a solo homer on Monday, propelling the Phillies to a 1-0 win over the Marlins.

Harper connected on a third-inning sweeper from Marlins starter Janson Junk, launching a majestic 393-foot blast into the right-center field seats for his seventh round-tripper of the season. It was his first time leaving the yard since April 24.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman

Sam Antonacci is in the leadoff spot for Monday’s series opener against the Angels.

Antonacci finds himself in the leadoff spot for the second time since being called up back on April 15. The 23-year-old rookie’s contact-oriented approach seems tailor-made for a top-of-the-order role moving forward. He’s slashing an impressive .255/.361/.431 with one homer and nearly as many walks (five) as strikeouts (six) through 17 games. The move to the top of the order behind Chicago’s biggest run-producing threats is a significant lift to his fantasy appeal.
Yainer Diaz

HOU Catcher #21

Yainer Diaz was scratched from the lineup for Monday’s game against the Dodgers with a left abdominal injury.

It’s a bit unclear whether Diaz will require a trip to the injured list, but the fact that the Astros have brought up César Salazar from the minors seems to indicate that he’s not going to be available off the bench, even in an emergency. There should be an update on his status following the contest. It’ll be Christian Vázquez handling the catching duties in his absence.
