William Contreras

MIL Catcher #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

William Contreras hit a walk-off three-run homer to give the Brewers a 3-1 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

With the Brew Crew trailing 1-0, Contreras changed that in a hurry with a three-run homer off Pete Fairbanks to give Milwaukee the victory in the series finale. It’s just the 10th homer of the season for the 28-year-old — who otherwise has put together a solid season — and he’s now driven in 57 runs in 98 games. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Contreras starts seeing more balls going over the fence over the summer months, but in the meantime, at least he contributes in the average category as seen in his .280 mark.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto

LAD Starting Pitcher #18

Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched his first MLB regular-season complete game as the Dodgers bested the Yankees 8-2 in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader.

Yamamoto, who did throw two complete games in the postseason last year, allowed four hits, walked none and struck out seven in a 102-pitch masterpiece. He gave up a homer to Trent Grisham in the fourth. The other run came in the eighth after center fielder Andy Pages lost Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s flyball in the sun for a double, and Anthony Volpe followed with an RBI single. Yamamoto is the first pitcher to throw a complete game against the Yankees since Sandy Alcantara on Aug. 12, 2023. He’ll take a 10-6 record and a 2.78 ERA into his next outing against the Mets.
Samuel Basallo

BAL Catcher #29

Samuel Basallo was removed from Sunday’s contest against the Astros due to right shoulder discomfort.

The 21-year-old backstop suffered the injury on a swing in the second inning and was replaced by Sam Huff when the Orioles took the field in the bottom of the frame. No word yet on the severity of the injury or how long he may be shelved for.
Sean Burke

CWS Starting Pitcher #59

Sean Burke delivered an excellent performance in Sunday’s victory over the Blue Jays, scattering just two hits over 6 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball.

Burke punched out five opposing hitters on the afternoon while allowing just one base on balls. Both of the hits that he did allow were singles and the Jays never seriously threatened against him. He got 12 whiffs on 98 offerings on the afternoon, registering a strong CSW of 32 percent. For the season, he now sits at 7-4 with a 3.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 120/34 K/BB ratio over 112 1/3 innings through his first 20 appearances (16 starts). He’ll look to replicate this fine effort when he tangles with the Astros on Saturday.
Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang (foot) returned to the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Marlins.

Turang sat out on Saturday due to soreness in his right foot after fouling a ball off of it during Friday’s game. The 26-year-old second baseman will bat third against Marlins’ right-hander Eury Perez on Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee.
Otto Lopez

MIA Shortstop #6

Otto Lopez (finger) is not in the Marlins’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s matchup against the Brewers.

Lopez took a groundball off his finger on Saturday and has had a little discomfort holding a bat. His finger is taped, and he said he could be available off the bench on Sunday, which makes us believe this should not be a long-term situation. Javier Sanoja will start at shortstop in his place while Leo Jimenez starts at third base and will bat sixth for the Fish against Brewers’ left-hander Robert Gasser.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Shohei Ohtani (knee) will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Phillies.

Roberts noted that the team has decided to take a cautious approach with Ohtani’s injured left knee and the 32-year-old superstar will not pitch for an undetermined amount of time. It remains unclear if the Dodgers will stick with a six-man rotation while Ohtani is shelved or go with a traditional five-man alignment for the time being.
J.T. Ginn

ATH Starting Pitcher #35

J.T. Ginn allowed one hit in 6 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up a win and help the Athletics to a 15-1 rout of the Nationals on Saturday.

Ginn took a no-hitter into the seventh before giving up a single to Keibert Ruiz. A day after giving up 23 runs, the A’s were able to blank the Nats until the ninth inning, and put up a couple of touchdowns of runs themselves. Ginn was lit up in his previous start Sunday, but this — to an extent, he’s not taking no-nos deep into games, of course — is much more in line with how he’s pitched for most of the year. He struck out seven against three walks while landing 50-of-82 pitches for strikes. He’ll be back on the bump against the Twins over the weekend, and take a solid 3.46 ERA into that outing.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

Tarik Skubal struck out nine over seven scoreless frames to get a win and help the Tigers to a 7-0 win over the Angels on Saturday.

In what very likely could be one of — if not the — final starts as a member of the Tigers, Skubal was brilliant. He allowed five hits that were all singles, and he generated an impressive 19 swings-and-misses over 87 pitches. It lowers his ERA to 2.83 on the season, and improves his K/BB to 98/11. Recent reports have Skubal more likely to be traded than sticking around Detroit past the deadline, but for now, the 29-year-old will get the nod again against the Royals on Friday.
Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell struck out four of the six hitters he faced for Triple-A Oklahoma City in his first rehab start Saturday.

Snell, returning from surgery to remove debris from his elbow, also walked one and gave up a single in the 32-pitch outing. His fastball averaged 95.3 mph, which is right around his norm (95.1 mph last year, 95.9 mph in 2024). This was expected to be a short outing, so it’s probably no issue that he exited in the second. He’s expected to make three or four more rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers.
