Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (hamstring) did not have his best stuff in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals. Strider, who was making his return from the 15-day injured list due to a right hamstring injury, pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with three strikeouts. He also hit two batters. The 26-year-old has only made two starts this season and has not been what fantasy managers were hoping for, going 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP, and eight strikeouts in 9 1/3 IP. While injuries are still a concern, fantasy managers should not put much stock in Strider's stat line, given his small sample size and the fact that he has not had the chance to really get into the swing of things. His next scheduled start will be a middling one against the Padres. While his results have been lacking, fantasy managers may find it difficult to sit him given his upside.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Logan Henderson continued to make a good impression in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles. Henderson pitched five innings, allowing no runs on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. The 23-year-old has made two consecutive starts for the Brewers and three on the season, going 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA, a 0.81 WHIP, and a 12.94 K/9 rate in 16 IP. Henderson showed high strikeout upside with low ERA's throughout his minor-league career and could be a potential fantasy option if he can continue to translate his skills in the big leagues. Should he stick around, his next scheduled start would be an excellent matchup at the Pirates.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued to be a fantasy juggernaut in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. Judge went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, and a strikeout. He also stole a base. The 33-year-old snuck an eighth-inning Caleb Boushley sweeper just over the right-field corner wall for his 16th long ball of the season, putting him just behind Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Schwarber for the most in baseball. Judge has once again been one of fantasy's best hitters, slashing .403/.491/.762 with 43 RBI and four stolen bases in 214 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler (shoulder) only made it 2 1/3 innings in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets. Buehler got tossed in the top of the third inning for arguing a strike with the home-plate umpire. He allowed no hits and two walks with four strikeouts on 52 pitches. He also hit two batters. The 30-year-old was making his return from the 15-day injured list, so fantasy managers may not have started him for what ended up being an abbreviated outing. Buehler has had a solid season overall, going 4-1 with a 4.00 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and an 8.25 K/9 rate in seven starts and 36 IP. His next scheduled start will be against a slumping Orioles lineup.

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter (abdomen) went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run on Tuesday for the ACL Guardians. The 23-year-old is there on a rehab assignment, hitting just .182 (4-for-22), but now with two home runs in eight games. Once the assignment is complete, the Guardians' second-ranked prospect will likely head to Triple-A, and if he can manage to stay healthy, a debut with the big league club could happen later this year. Maintaining health has been an issue for him, though, totaling just 96 games over the last two seasons due to multiple injuries. The former first-round draft pick has performed well when on the field, owning a .310 batting average and .893 OPS during his minor league career. With low strikeout rates and the ability to hit for both contact and power, the 6-foot-3 slugger could be an impact fantasy player in the second half of the season, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren turned in a solid start in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. Warren pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing no runs on five hits and a walk with a season-high 10 strikeouts. The 25-year-old has had a good season overall through his first 10 starts, going 3-2 with a 4.05 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and an 11.57 K/9 rate in 46 2/3 IP. His next start will be a favorable matchup against a weak Rockies lineup, but he will have to face them in Coors Field. He has allowed hard contact this season but has done a good job keeping the ball on the ground, so he would be a safer start in points leagues.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo continued his excellent season in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. Luzardo pitched six innings, allowing one run on two hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts. The 27-year-old is now healthy and is having a bounce-back season, going 5-0 with a 1.95 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and a 10.05 K/9 rate in 10 starts and 60 IP. Six of those starts have been quality starts and two of them have come with at least 10 strikeouts. His next scheduled matchup will be a middling one at the Athletics in Sacramento, but Luzardo has been too good to distrust in any matchup.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) left Tuesday's game against the Angels in the bottom of the fifth inning with a left forearm contusion, per MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Wilson was hit by a Kyle Hendricks pitch in the third inning. He stayed in the game but was pinch-hit for by Max Schuemann in the fifth inning. Fantasy managers should look for further news after the game, but the fact that he was able to stay in the game temporarily may mean he avoided anything serious. The 23-year-old is having a great offensive season so far, slashing .341/.381/.478 with five home runs, 26 RBI, and four stolen bases in 195 plate appearances.

Kansas City Royals catching prospect Carter Jensen went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI, and one run scored on Tuesday for Double-A Northwest Arkansas. The Royals' third-ranked prospect has been a streaky hitter so far this season, and with a slugging percentage of .310, the 21-year-old hasn't had many extra-base hits to this point, with Tuesday's being his first hits for extra bases since a home run back on May 3. The former third-round draft pick ranks as the 88th overall prospect in baseball with an ETA of 2026 for a major league debut per MLB.com, and although he has the potential to hit for some power, he doesn't need to be stashed in dynasty leagues at this point. Jensen will also have to compete with Royals' second-ranked prospect Blake Mitchell for starting duties in the coming years if they both remain in Kansas City.

Los Angeles Angels second baseman prospect Christian Moore has been promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake and played his first game there on Tuesday. The 2024 eighth overall draft pick collected a hit on the first pitch he saw and proceeded to collect three more hits, finishing the game 3-for-4 with three singles, a walk, and two RBI. The Angels' top-ranked prospect played two games at Single-A last season before getting promoted to Double-A, where the youngster hit .322 with five home runs in 23 games, although it came with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate. This season hasn't been nearly as successful, hitting .234 with one home run through 34 games, however, there was a slight improvement in strikeout rate to 27.4 percent. If the 22-year-old can hit the ground running in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, there's a shot to make a debut in the majors later this year. With good power for a second baseman along with some speed, managers will want to be aware if he's on his way to the majors, as the right-handed slugger could be a stash candidate in deeper leagues.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson (finger) received multiple opinions and was diagnosed with mild inflammation in his ring finger. Olson will be re-evaluated later this week to see if he can resume throwing. The Tigers placed the 25-year-old on the 15-day injured list on Monday with his finger injury, but he could be ready to return to the team's starting rotation when he's eligible to come off the IL on June 2. Olson deserves to be stashed by fantasy managers while he's on the mend. He threw six scoreless innings in his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays last Saturday and has a pristine 1.60 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 38 strikeouts and 11 walks in 33 2/3 innings in his last six starts. Overall, Olson has gone 4-3 this year for the Tigers with a 2.96 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51 punchouts in 48 2/3 frames over his nine starts.

Before the announcement of Philadelphia Phillies left-handed reliever Jose Alvarado's 80-game suspension for violating MLB's joint drug prevention and treatment program, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports that the Phillies reached out to free-agent reliever David Robertson, who is easily the best reliever on the open market. No serious talks took place, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Phillies considered a reunion with the 40-year-old, who has had two previous stints in Philly. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is likely to be active as he looks to strengthen a bullpen that has struggled in 2025, especially now that Alvarado won't be eligible for the postseason. Other options the Phils could eventually purse are Marlins reliever Anthony Bender, Pittsburgh reliever Dennis Santana, the Angels' Kenley Jansen, the White Sox's Cam Booser and the Rockies' Jake Bird.

Colorado Rockies third base/outfield prospect Charlie Condon (wrist) was activated from the IL after completing a rehab assignment with the team's Arizona Complex League affiliate, and he's headed to High-A Spokane. Condon's rehab assignment lasted for nine games, where he went 8-for-27 (.296) with three doubles, a stolen base, and a 1:10 BB:K. A 34.5 percent strikeout rate like he posted in the ACL is not what the team will want to see when he begins game action at High-A. The 2024 third-overall draft pick hit .180 with one home run and a 31.2 percent K% last season at High-A in his first taste of professional ball, and the team is going to want to see the 6-foot-6 slugger take a step forward in 2025. If the Rockies' second-ranked prospect can avoid additional missed time, there's a chance he could be in the big leagues at some point next season, and his 70-grade power is something that will make him an impactful big leaguer and fantasy asset, especially when calling Coors Field home.

The Houston Astros announced on Tuesday that they moved right-hander Hayden Wesneski (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL to make room for left-hander Brandon Walter on the 40-man roster. This is a reminder that Wesneski will undergo Tommy John surgery this week, which will knock him out for the rest of the 2025 season and probably at least half of 2026, if not more. The 27-year-old former sixth-round pick in 2019 by the New York Yankees out of Sam Houston State was in his first year in Houston after three seasons for the Chicago Cubs. In six starts for the Astros before going down with a right-elbow injury, Wesneski posted a 4.50 ERA (4.78 FIP) and 1.09 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and six walks in 32 innings pitched. If you haven't already in redraft formats, Wesneski should be dropped.

Washington Nationals outfieldprospect Robert Hassell III is being recalled fromTriple-A Rochester for what will be his MLB debut. Unfortunately, this move is a result of Dylan Crews' back/side injury he suffered on Tuesday night and because JacobYoung is dealing with a shoulder injury that's kept him out of the lineup the past couple days, but Hassell III now gets a shot to make good on being a first-round selection (eighth overall) in the 2020 MLB Draft. The left-handed slugger was performing decently at Triple-A, slashing .277/.327/.384 with four home runs, nine stolen bases, and registering a 19.9 percent K% through 42 games. The stolen bases and first-round pedigree are intriguing, but without a ton of power and not likely to hit for a high average in his first taste of the majors, the 23-year-old is probably only worth a look for fantasy in very deep and NL-only leagues.

The Cleveland Guardians have sent catcher/outfielder David Fry (elbow) from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Double-A Akron on his minor-league rehab assignment this week. In three games in the ACL, Fry went 0-for-8 with two walks, three strikeouts and a run scored at the plate as he recovers from UCL revision surgery in his right elbow last November. The 29-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list and will be relegated to designated-hitter duties for the rest of the 2025 season, whether it be in the minors or at the big-league level with Cleveland. The former seventh-round selection by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018 out of Northwestern State University of Louisiana was a first-time All-Star in 2024 after slugging 14 homers and driving in 51 in 122 regular-season games, but he could be in a platoon role at DH whenever he returns to the big leagues in 2025.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) said he was not sore after jogging on the field in Sacramento before Monday's series opener against the Athletics. Trout ran at 50 to 60% intensity and said his final hurdle will be running the bases. The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports that Trout said he will not need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list. The three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star outfielder said he's still feeling good and has also been hitting every day. All signs are good for the 33-year-old veteran so far, but it remains unclear when he might run the bases or return to the active MLB roster. Don't be surprised if the Angels use Trout as the designated hitter more often than not when he initially returns. The former first-rounder has been extremely injury-prone in recent years and was hitting under .200 before his injury, but he still has plenty of power with nine homers in 106 at-bats.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) left Tuesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers with left-ankle discomfort, according to The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka. Laureano's body contorted oddly while attempting to get to a ball in shallow right field in the fourth inning when he appeared to get his left foot caught in the grass. The 30-year-old initially remained in the game before eventually being replaced in the fifth inning in right field by Dylan Carlson. Laureano went 0-for-2 at the plate with a strikeout before being pulled. He will most certainly go for testing on his ankle, but until we know more, fantasy managers in AL-only leagues should consider Laureano day-to-day. The Dominican outfielder has been decent for the O's as a part-time outfielder this year, as he entered the day hitting .272/.327/.543 with six homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs and two steals in 92 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt was solid in a 3-0 win over the Padres on Tuesday, pitching six shutout innings while striking out six. He allowed four hits and walked one. This was his third quality start of the year, and it was nice to see him go six innings. He has started the sixth inning and been pulled without finishing it on five separate occasions this year, which hurts in leagues that reward quality starts. Still, he's been great this season as a whole, posting a 2.83 ERA with 61 strikeouts and 11 walks in 57 innings. His next start is lined up to be against the Rays on the road.

Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews was pulled from Tuesday's game after seemingly aggravating his back on a swing in the bottom of the fifth inning. His back has apparently been an ongoing issue since last week, and he's scheduled to undergo an MRI tomorrow, according to manager Davey Martinez. This isn't good news for the youngster, who has struggled in 2025 to the tune of a .196 batting average. He did homer earlier in the game before re-aggravating his back, and expect an update on the severity of the injury tomorrow.
