Iglesias entered in the eighth inning with one out and two runners in scoring position to protect a three-run lead. He stranded the runners with a pair of strikeouts before returning to close out the game in the ninth despite the Braves adding two more runs. Iglesias worked around two hits before securing the win and his second save of the season.

Consider him day-to-day. If he can’t play Wednesday, then Rafael Marchan will do the catching.

Ray was outstanding on Tuesday in San Francisco, holding the Phillies scoreless into the seventh. He scattered three hits and three walks while collecting seven strikeouts on 12 whiffs. The 34-year-old left-hander has allowed four runs with an 18/6 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings across his first three starts. Ray lines up for a start against the Reds in Cincinnati next Tuesday.

Soler and López traded punches during a chaotic donnybrook that erupted during the fifth inning at Angel Stadium after a high-and-inside pitch. Soler clobbered a two-run homer off López back in the opening frame before being drilled hit by a pitch his next time up. Amazingly, it was Braves manager Walt Weiss who delivered a textbook tackle to bring Soler to the ground and help break up the brawl while Mike Trout managed to corral López, who somehow held onto the baseball throughout the entire incident. There will undoubtedly be suspensions handed out by the league after one of the wildest on-field melees in recent years.

Castro enjoyed a big day at the plate, starting with a base hit in the second inning to put the Rockies on the board with a run. He then took Mike Burrows deep for a two-run blast in the fourth for his first home run of the season. The versatile 28-year-old is slashing .250/.318/.400 with seven runs scored and seven RBI across his first 44 plate appearances with the Rockies.

It’s a massive relief for the Rangers, and fantasy managers, after deGrom experienced right knee discomfort while warming up for Monday’s start against the Mariners where he struck out six and allowed one run over five innings. The 37-year-old fantasy ace will make his next start on Sunday against the Dodgers.

Musgrove has been limited to side work as he tries to get over the hump. “To get major league hitters out, your (expletive) has got to be good and you’ve got to be confident,” Musgrove said. “And I just don’t have that right now. I’m not far off. I showed signs of it in spring. My stuff was there. Just the ability to execute breaking balls and get in the zone consistently and recover well enough to do it again in five days, just …” Musgrove had an MRI last month that showed his repaired ligament was intact. Still, until his arm gets better about bouncing back from throwing sessions, he can’t even think about a rehab assignment. Clearly, he’s not going to be back on a major league mound before June and perhaps not then.

Bradley easily outdueled Tarik Skubal, just as everyone predicted. The right-hander followed up his impressive six scoreless against the Twins on Thursday with another outstanding effort; touching 98 mph with his fastball and generating 15 swings and misses on 47 swings (32 percent). Bradley has flashes this ability before, but hasn’t been able to put it together on a consistent basis since joining the bigs in 2023. At the age of 25, it wouldn’t be a huge shock if 2026 was the campaign where he did it, but the sample remains small. Let’s see how he fares against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Eovaldi served up a solo homer to Brendan Donovan on the first pitch of the game. He recovered to retire the next three batters on ten pitches. After settling in for three more scoreless frames, the Mariners would bring one more run across on a pair of hits in the fifth. Eovaldi completed five innings for the first time in three starts and went on to strand two runners in the sixth. He generated an incredible 22 whiffs to collect seven strikeouts. The 36-year-old right-hander will look to string together another excellent start when he takes on the Athletics in Sacramento next Monday.

Walker has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy baseball — much of that due to having an outrageous amount of hype, deserved though it might have been — but the breakout season just might be coming. Yes, we know there’s still 150-plus games left to go. Walker hit his fourth homer of the season, and he’s now up to 11 RBI in 11 games with an OPS of 1.014. It’s understandable why some may be skeptical, but it’s never been a question of talent with Walker. He appears to finally be applying that talent at the highest level.
