Matthew Boyd

CHC Starting Pitcher #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Matthew Boyd (biceps) will be activated to start Wednesday’s contest against the Phillies.

Boyd returns to Chicago’s rotation mix after missing just over two weeks with a left biceps strain. The 35-year-old lefty might have some limitations from a pitch count standpoint after throwing 64 pitches in a rehab start last Thursday for Triple-A Iowa. It’s a strong matchup right out of the chute with the Phillies struggling offensively to open the year.
Freddie Freeman

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Dodgers activated 1B Freddie Freeman from the paternity list.

Freeman returns to Los Angeles’ lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Giants after being away from the club on paternity leave for the last two games. The 36-year-old veteran fantasy stalwart has been his usual productive self, slashing .296/.360/.519 with three homers and 14 RBI through 20 games this season.
Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will be activated to make his season debut on Saturday against the Braves.

Wheeler makes his return to Philadelphia’s rotation after undergoing surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome last August. The 35-year-old former fantasy ace’s velocity has been down consistently during a handful of recent minor league rehab outings, which makes it challenging to forecast how he’ll fare from a fantasy perspective. It’s impossible to dismiss Wheeler entirely based on his lengthy track record of success, but a wait-and-see approach seems like the best idea given his extended layoff and how he’s looked in minor league games recently.
Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

Gerrit Cole (elbow) will make his next minor league rehab start on Thursday for High-A Hudson Valley.

Cole looked extremely sharp in his rehab debut last Friday, throwing 44 pitches over 4 1/3 innings for Double-A Somerset. It’s notable that he’ll make his second rehab outing in another lower minors ballpark without any public Statcast data. The 35-year-old’s velocity was fine in spring training, but all reports are that it was down slightly in the longer outing. It’s a variable to monitor as he continues to make his way towards rejoining New York’s rotation sometime next month.
Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Raisel Iglesias underwent an MRI that didn’t reveal any structural damage in his right shoulder.

It’s an encouraging update after Atlanta’s closer hit the injured list earlier on Tuesday with shoulder inflammation. It appears that Iglesias isn’t dealing with any structural issues that would’ve require a lengthy absence and possibly even surgery. The Braves are optimistic he’ll be cleared to resume throwing once the swelling subsides and there should be a clear return timetable once he resumes facing hitters. It’ll be hard-throwing veteran Robert Suarez handling the closing duties in his absence. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats until Iglesias returns.
Juan Soto

NYM Right Fielder #22

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Juan Soto (calf) will be activated for Wednesday’s game against the Twins.

Mendoza confirmed multiple reports earlier on Tuesday that Soto would return for Wednesday’s contest after missing just over two weeks with a right calf strain. Fantasy managers should prepare to have him back in their lineups. His return will provide a much-needed lift for the free-falling Mets, who have lost 11 straight games.
Christian Scott

NYM Starting Pitcher #45

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Christian Scott will be called up to start Thursday’s game against the Twins.

Mendoza added that Kodai Senga will remain in New York’s rotation with David Peterson going to the bullpen. It sounds like they want to give Senga, who will take the ball on Saturday against the Rockies instead, some additional time to work through his recent issues with Peterson shifting to a long relief role. It’s been a nightmare season for the Mets but Scott has always been an interesting arm and could have fantasy appeal in deeper mixed leagues. The former top pitching prospect hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since undergoing Tommy John surgery back in 2024. He’s posted a lackluster 5.27 ERA despite a 17/2 K/BB ratio across 13 2/3 innings at Triple-A Syracuse this season.
Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start for Wednesday for Low-A Ontario.

Snell’s appearance will be his first official rehab start as he works his way back from shoulder fatigue that has sidelined him for all of 2026. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need to make at least a couple of these before he’s ready to go, but assuming no setbacks, he should be back at some point in May.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. is hitting leadoff and playing right field against the Nationals on Tuesday.

Acuña was removed from Monday’s game after being hit by two pitches, but the 28-year-old received a clean MRI, and he’s ready to roll for Tuesday’s tilt. Crisis averted.
Marcus Semien

NYM 2nd Baseman #10

Marcus Semien is leading off against the Twins on Tuesday.

Semien is getting the nod at the top spot with Francisco Lindor moving down to second. This doesn’t seem so much a promotion based on good work by Semien — he’s hitting just .234 with a .606 OPS — as it is a shaking up of the lineup for a team that hasn’t won a game since April 7.
