Hunter Goodman

COL Catcher #15

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer to help the Rockies beat the Cubs on Tuesday by a 7-3 score.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead with a shot to right-center off Colin Rea in the first inning. The 26-year-old also drew a pair of walks, and the three-reach game gives him a slash of .243/.319/.526 with 18 homers and 33 runs driven in. The lack of RBI is a smidgen frustrating, but not really in his control. Goodman has established himself as one of the best fantasy catchers in the sport.
Braden Montgomery

CWS Center Fielder #92

Braden Montgomery hit a walk-off two-run homer in his MLB debut to give the White Sox a 6-5 win over Atlanta on Tuesday.

Montgomery also had an RBI single in the fourth, but obviously that’s not the headline. The 23-year-old came to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the tenth and the White Sox trailing by one, and he connected on his first MLB roundtripper to give Chicago the walk-off win. Montgomery is one of the best outfield prospects in the sport, and while fantasy managers have to be prepared for ups and downs from the outfielder in his rookie campaign, the talent is obvious. He’s absolutely worthy of roster consideration right now.
Spencer Jones

NYY Right Fielder #78

Spencer Jones hit his first major league homer, a two-run shot off Slade Cecconi, in the Yankees’ 3-2 defeat of the Guardians on Tuesday.

Jones’s homer was hit 112.2 mph and projected at 443 feet. He later had a 384-foot flyout and actually went the entire game without striking out. Jones is now 10-for-36 with two extra-base hits and a 16/3 K/BB as a major leaguer. He definitely seems more comfortable now than in his first stint. He’s still going to strike out a ton, but the contact is getting better. He needs to keep it up, since Jasson Domínguez has started a rehab assignment as he makes his way back from a shoulder strain.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from Tuesday’s game against the White Sox with left hamstring tightness.

Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters afterwards that Acuña is day-to-day and will undergo an MRI to to determine the severity of the issue, which will determine whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar came up limping following an attempt to beat out a fourth-inning chopper up the third-base line. A definitive update on his status should arrive prior to Wednesday’s showdown in Chicago.
Adley Rutschman

BAL Catcher #35

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told reporters Adley Rutschman is day-to-day with left hamstring tightness.

Rutschman sat out his second consecutive contest on Tuesday night. It doesn’t sound like a potential injured list situation at the moment, but the Orioles can’t really afford to take any chances with Samuel Basallo playing through a wrist injury. Sam Huff has handled the catching duties in back-to-back games. There should be some additional clarity on his status heading into the final two games of the clubs’ current series against Seattle.
Jac Caglianone

KC Right Fielder #14

Jac Caglianone homered twice and drove in three runs to help the Royals to a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Caglianone also stole a base, and he also singled and added a walk for good measure. Both homers were tape-measure shots and came off Nathan Eovaldi, and it gives the 23-year-old eight homers and 18 RBI on the campaign. Caglianone has massive offensive upside, and while it hasn’t always been on display, the improvement he’s made in 2026 has been readily apparent.
Freddie Freeman

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday, leading the Dodgers to a blowout win over the Pirates.

Freeman collected the 2,500th hit of his career with a run-scoring single to center field, doing so during the Dodgers’ 10-run seventh inning in which 15 batters came to the plate. The 36-year-old first baseman is the majors’ active leader in hits and the first to reach the milestone since Robinson Canó in 2019. He’s in the middle of an extended hot streak at the dish, batting .345 (20-for-58) with four homers and 13 RBI over his last 15 games.
Paul Skenes

PIT Starting Pitcher #30

Paul Skenes recorded seven strikeouts and allowed two runs over six innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Dodgers.

Skenes generated 19 swinging strikes and needed 103 pitches (62 strikes) to work through six innings against Los Angeles’ star-studded lineup. It was his third straight start where he eclipsed 100 pitches. Max Muncy proved to be the primary thorn in his side, accounting for three of the six hits he allowed, including a game-tying single to shallow right with two outs in the sixth. The 24-year-old fantasy ace holds a stellar 2.84 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 89/15 K/BB ratio across 76 innings through 14 starts. He’ll close out a two-start week with a favorable home matchup against the Marlins on Sunday.
Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Cal Raleigh (oblique) launched two home runs on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma.

Raleigh started at catcher and played five innings behind the dish. That was all he needed to crush a pair of homers, including a grand slam, during his second rehab contest. The 29-year-old backstop figures to need a couple additional tune-up contests since he’s been out since mid-May recovering from an oblique strain. It wouldn’t be surprising if he were ready to rejoin Seattle’s lineup later this week.
Drake Baldwin

ATL Catcher #30

Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters Drake Baldwin (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend.

Baldwin is slated to take live batting practice later this week before heading out to kick off a rehab assignment. He’ll need at least a couple games to get back up to speed, especially from a catching standpoint. The 25-year-old burgeoning superstar has been on the shelf recovering from a mild right oblique strain since May 19. There’s a strong possibility he’s back in Atlanta’s lineup somewhere around mid-June.
