New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon continued his terrific stretch on Tuesday, tossing seven one-run frames in a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Rodon scattered five hits and a walk while striking out eight in this one. The 32-year-old is having one of the best stretches of his career right now, and everything seems to be clicking for him. He sits at 8-3 with a 2.49 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 98 strikeouts in 79 IP. That's all you can ask for from any pitcher, and certainly from one drafted outside of the top 100 like Rodon was. He is a clear must-start pitcher for the foreseeable future, although one could argue selling high right now would be the shrewd move. His next start should come on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox at home.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. had a sorely needed big game on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in a 10-7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Witt Jr. smacked a two-run shot in the first inning and then plated two more with a single in the fifth. The 24-year-old superstar hasn't been elite with the bat for a while now, but this performance could lift that weight off his shoulders. Even with the relatively disappointing start, Witt Jr. still has a .287 AVG with 32 runs, seven homers, 35 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. It's still high-end production, but Witt Jr. has another level that he hasn't hit yet this season. If (when?) he does, watch out.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen was dominant once again on Tuesday, shutting out the Texas Rangers for five frames in a 5-1 win. Rasmussen was electric in this one, allowing just one hit and walking none while punching out eight. It was his fourth straight outing without allowing a run, a stretch of 23 innings. The only negative is that the Rays haven't extended Rasmussen at all this year, with his most pitches thrown being 86. The 29-year-old will have to remain uber-efficient in order to keep racking up quality starts and wins, which can be a tight line to walk. Still, he's been excellent at that so far this year, going 5-4 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts in 63 IP. Rasmussen should be rostered and started in all leagues right now. His next start is a juicy one, as he gets the Miami Marlins at home on Sunday.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs in a 6-5 extra-inning victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday. Muncy hit his first homer in the first inning, a two-run shot to extend the Dodgers' lead to 4-1. His second homer was much more important, as it came with L.A. down by one in the bottom of the ninth and sent the game to extras. Muncy has been on an absolute surge at the plate lately, homering five times in his last four games and collecting 11 RBI in that stretch. Overall, Muncy has a .230 AVG and .781 OPS to go along with 19 runs, nine homers, 35 RBI, and two steals in 183 at-bats. When healthy, Muncy is still a very solid source of power and counting stats. He should be rostered in all standard-size leagues.
From RotoBaller
Minnesota Twins utility man Willi Castro had another multi-homer performance on Tuesday, hitting two solo shots in a 10-3 win over the Athletics. Castro had another two-homer outing last Friday, so he now has four homers in his last five games. The 28-year-old has been swinging a hot bat even outside of the multi-homer performances, and he is now up to a .261 AVG with 25 runs, six homers, 12 RBI, and three swipes on the season. He's not a must-roster player, but Castro is a streaky hitter who can do some damage when he's hot, making him a decent option in deep leagues.
From RotoBaller
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes had another fantastic start on Tuesday, throwing eight one-run innings in a 3-0 loss against the Houston Astros. Skenes allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out eight. The 23-year-old has now rattled off five straight starts of six-plus innings and one run or less, and has allowed more than three runs only once this season. He now has a 4-6 record with a 2.05 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 85 strikeouts over 83 IP. Skenes has lived up to his billing as one of the best pitchers in fantasy, even with his lack of wins due to a poor Pirates lineup. He will make his next start on Sunday at home against the Philadelphia Phillies in what will be a tough matchup.

Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Tuesday that he expects starting pitcher George Kirby (face) will be "OK" after getting hit in the face by a line drive in a 5-1 loss to the Orioles. Wilson said that Kirby was able to get his hand on the baseball before it hit his face and that the Mariners should know more on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more news as to whether the 27-year-old will take his next turn in the rotation at the Angels. He has only made three starts this season due to right shoulder inflammation, so it remains to be seen if the Mariners take extra precautions with him.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, and four RBI in a Tuesday night victory against Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 22-year-old returns to Triple-A after not picking up a hit in 19 at-bats in the majors, but has continued to tear up Triple-A pitching. Lawlar owns a monster .341/.419/.591 line with seven homers and 13 stolen bases on the season. There isn't much left for Lawlar to prove in the minor leagues, and it is unfortunate there isn't a clear runway for everyday playing time currently in Arizona. He remains a decent stash in case of an injury, as he still possesses the upside to be an impact bat.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (elbow) looked just fine in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays after missing the last week of games due to being hit by a pitch in the elbow. Batting third, Harper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks. The 32-year-old went back-to-back with Trea Turner against Bowden Francis in the first inning, lofting a splitter just over the right-field wall for his ninth long ball of the season. Harper has been a bit disappointing offensively this season by his standards but is still slashing a respectable .268/.380/.463 with 34 RBI and eight stolen bases in 245 plate appearances. The good news is that he picked things up in May after a slow March and April, so he has been trending in the right direction.
From RotoBaller
Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Hurston Waldrep took the loss in an 8-4 loss against Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. He allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four. It was a disappointing outing from Waldrep from a control standpoint, as it was his first start allowing four or more walks since April 25. Tabbed with a 70 grade splitter out of Florida, Waldrep threw the pitch only five times out of 87 pitches tonight. The 23-year-old has mostly struggled at Triple-A, with a 5.33 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and a 56:30 K:BB. The injuries continue to mount in the Braves' rotation, but it still would seem unlikely that Waldrep is called upon anytime soon.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano turned in another strong outing in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mariners. Sugano pitched seven innings, allowing one run on five hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with five strikeouts. The 35-year-old veteran has settled into his first season with MLB, going 5-3 with a 3.04 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP, and a 5.07 K/9 rate in 12 starts and 71 IP. His strikeout numbers are very low, although fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised given how he pitched throughout his career in Japan. The good news is that he has limited baserunners, allowing him to pitch deep into games. Seven of his 12 starts have lasted at least six IP. Sugano's next scheduled matchup will be a middling one at a hot Athletics lineup in Sacramento.
From RotoBaller
Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Orelvis Martinez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and two RBI against Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. The 23-year-old bounced back to a solid .811 OPS in May after a miserable April when he slashed .147/.237/.279 with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate. The whiff rate is still high at 37.2 percent, and his batted ball metrics are decent, with a 40.6 percent hard-hit rate and 8.5 percent barrel rate. He's flashed impressively high exit velocities in the past, but there is a lot of swing and miss. There's a good chance we'll see Martinez up with the Blue Jays as we get into the summer. In which case, he'd make for a deep league or AL-only add.
From RotoBaller
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) exited Tuesday's start against the Athletics before starting the sixth inning with right shoulder tightness, per Baseball America's Jessica Kleinschmidt. Lopez threw one warmup pitch and then exited the game to be replaced by Cole Sands. He had allowed two runs on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts on 72 pitches. He also hit a batter. Fantasy managers should wait for more news after the game to better understand the potential severity of his injury. Lopez did miss large chunks of time earlier in his career due to various shoulder injuries. It would be a shame for the Twins and fantasy managers if he were to miss any more time this season, as he has gone 4-3 with a 2.82 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and a 9.05 K/9 rate in 11 starts and 60 2/3 IP.
From RotoBaller
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman/outfielder Addison Barger continued his impressive streak in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Phillies. Barger went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, and a strikeout. He also made a throwing error in right field. The 25-year-old turned on an eighth-inning Max Lazar fastball, launching it over the left-field wall. Barger has now homered in each of his last four games, bringing his season total to six. He has emerged as a source of power and batting average for fantasy managers, slashing .274/.338/.508 with 19 RBI in 136 plate appearances. He hasn't seen much playing time against left-handed pitchers, but he is currently just 26 percent rostered and has hit so well that he could provide a boost to fantasy managers' lineups even if he doesn't always play against lefties.
From RotoBaller
Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-5 extra innings win against Triple-A Rochester. Down one run in the bottom of the ninth, the phenom crushed a full-count breaking ball 110.5 MPH and 428 feet to send the game to extra innings. The 21-year-old has been very passive at the plate this season, with 46 walks to 50 strikeouts on the season and just a 35.6 percent swing rate. However, his batted ball metrics remain gaudy, and the whiff rate is in a solid place. The best prospect in baseball should be expected to make his debut almost any day now at this point and should be owned universally.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner had another solid game at the plate in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. Turner went 3-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, and a two-run HR. The 31-year-old got things going in the first inning, taking Bowden Francis to the opposite field in the first inning to score two. He later turned on an eighth-inning Erik Swanson offering, depositing it into the left-field bullpen. Turner has pretty much been exactly what fantasy managers have come to expect this season, slashing .305/.363/.452 with seven HR, 28 RBI, and 16 stolen bases in 262 plate appearances.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll continued his power surge in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Braves. Carroll went 3-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, a three-run HR, and a walk. He was also caught stealing. The 24-year-old jumped all over a fifth-inning middle-middle Spencer Strider fastball for a solo shot and then broke things open in the ninth with a three-run blast off of Rafael Montero. Carroll has been on an incredible power pace this season even for his standards and is now slashing .262/.336/.578 with 18 HR, 39 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 271 plate appearances. He may end up swapping some of his stolen base totals for HR, but fantasy managers can't complain when he's producing at this level overall.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte played his part offensively in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Braves. Marte went 3-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, a two-run HR, and two walks. The 31-year-old got things going early, destroying a first-inning Spencer Strider offering deep into the left-center seats. He then lined a third-inning Strider fastball just over the right-field wall to score two more. Health has been an issue for Marte again this season, but he has been excellent when in the lineup, slashing .294/.417/.597 with 10 HR, 16 RBI, and two stolen bases in 144 plate appearances. He remains a high-end fantasy option whenever he is on the field.
From RotoBaller
Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Ian Seymour got back on track on Tuesday for Triple-A Durham, allowing one earned run on six hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings of work. The former second-round draft pick hit a rough patch over his last three starts before Tuesday, allowing 10 earned runs in 13 2/3 IP (6.59 ERA), although there were still strikeouts aplenty, tallying 23 of them during that stretch. The southpaw leads all minor league pitchers in strikeouts with 84 on the season, and after Tuesday's outing, the 26-year-old owns a 2.95 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP through 61 innings. Seymour could be in the big leagues within the next couple of months, and would be a worthy waiver add in deeper and AL-only leagues for the strikeout upside.
From RotoBaller
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (ankle) began a rehab assignment with the team's Florida Complex League (FCL) affiliate on Tuesday, going 0-for-1 with two walks and a run scored. He was also caught stealing once, but it is good to see that the sore ankle that has kept him out for all but two games this season was put to the test. It's unclear how long he'll be with the FCL Twins, but given how long his absence was, the Twins' top prospect (MLB No. 6) will probably need a handful of games there before potentially moving the rehab to another level. The former fifth-overall draft pick has just eight games at Double-A in his career, so look for him to rejoin Double-A Wichita once the rehab assignment is complete, and hopefully can build some momentum towards Triple-A by the end of the year. The 6-foot-3 slugger has one of the best hit tools in the minors to go along with good power and speed, and could have a big fantasy impact as soon as next year.
