Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher
Emmet Sheehan (elbow) is looking to stretch out to four innings in his next rehab start, and after that Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts said there could be a conversation about Sheehan being a rotation option in the majors. The 25-year-old righty went 4-1 in 13 games (11 starts) in 2023 with a 4.92 ERA, 4.85 FIP, and 9.55 K/9. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2024 and has looked sharp in his three rehab starts, giving up four hits and one run with 14 strikeouts in just eight innings. He is still just stretching out and will likely be limited when he returns, but he brings a very high ceiling if he can lock down a rotation spot for the Dodgers and return to his pre-injury form. His strikeout ceiling and potential spot in the Dodgers' rotation make him worth watching closely for all formats.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher
Justin Martinez (elbow) was forced to leave Monday's game against Seattle with the training staff after dealing with elbow tightness. Martinez said he "felt bad" after the game, but it wasn't clear if he meant his arm or the fact that he had to leave the game. The 23-year-old closer spent time on the injured list last month with shoulder inflammation, but it isn't clear if this injury will cause him to miss time or just require a few days of rest. If he's out,
Shelby Miller would be next up for saves out of Arizona's bullpen.
UPDATE: Martinez will undergo an MRI exam on his right elbow.--Zach ThompsonSource: Nick Piecoro

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher
Bryce Miller (elbow) will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday of this week and will instead return to the 15-day injured list. He missed most of May with a bone spur in his elbow and struggled in his two starts since returning, allowing eight runs on 11 hits in nine innings against the Twins and Angels. While the team hasn't given a timetable for his return, he definitely didn't look 100% in those two outings. He has an ugly 5.73 ERA and 4.41 FIP in his 10 games this season, and his numbers have been disappointing across the board. He showed a ton of promise last season with the Mariners, so if you can stash him in an IL spot, he's still worth holding until we get a clearer timetable in the hopes that the extra time helps him return to his 2024 form.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder
Jake Mangum was in the thick of the action in Monday's 10-8 extra-inning win over the Red Sox. Mangum went 4-for-6 with four singles, two RBI, and a strikeout. The 29-year-old has come out of nowhere to be a surprising fantasy contributor as a late-blooming rookie, slashing .302/.333/.368 with one home run, 15 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 112 plate appearances. He missed a little over a month with a left groin strain but has seen playing time and has provided batting average and speed, facets he also provided throughout his minor-league career. Mangum is currently rostered in just five percent of leagues, meaning he is likely available even in deep roto leagues where he could provide solid value.

Toronto Blue Jays closer
Jeff Hoffman picked up his 16th save of the season in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Cardinals. Hoffman came in to pitch the bottom of the 10th inning up by one with an automatic runner on second. He shut the door with a 1-2-3 performance, including a strikeout. The 32-year-old has been erratic overall in his first season with the Blue Jays, converting 16 of 19 save opportunities with a 5.46 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and a 13.04 K/9 rate in 29 2/3 innings of work. The good news for fantasy managers is that Hoffman appears to have the confidence of the Blue Jays coaching staff and his underlying metrics look strong overall, so he should continue to see opportunities to provide fantasy value.

St. Louis Cardinals closer
Ryan Helsley blew his fifth save of the season in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays. Helsley came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one. He got the first out on a pop-out, allowed a game-tying solo homer, got the second out on a strikeout, allowed a double, and ended the inning with another strikeout. The 30-year-old, who was a National League All-Star last season, has already tied his career high in blown saves this season. He has notched 13 saves with a 3.75 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, a 10.50 K/9 rate, and a 4.50 BB/9 rate in 24 innings of work. His walk rate has been an issue and he has allowed harder contact than in previous seasons, contributing to his bloated WHIP and ERA. The good news for fantasy managers is that Helsley still appears to have a firm grasp on the role, but he will need to start tightening things up.

Boston Red Sox top prospect
Roman Anthony caused plenty of fanfare but did not contribute much to the action in Monday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays. The 21-year-old, who is the No. 1 overall prospect in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut in right field batting fifth. He went 0-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Anthony performed very well in the minors last season. He was also slashing .288/.423/.491 with Triple-A Worcester before getting the call-up, so there is plenty for fantasy managers to be excited about. He is already rostered in 62 percent of leagues, but that means he could still be available for some fantasy managers.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder
Bryan Reynolds did his part offensively in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins. Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a single, a triple, and three RBI. The 30-year-old broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning, lacing a
Eury Perez breaking pitch into the right-center gap to clear the bases. It was a bright spot for Reynolds in a season that has uncharacteristically had few so far. While Reynolds usually provides a high fantasy floor, he has slashed just .238/.311/.385 with eight home runs, 39 RBI, and three stolen bases in 283 plate appearances. His counting stats are relatively in line with how he has produced over the past several seasons, but hopefully, he can get his batting average up toward his .273 career mark.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher
Eury Perez (elbow) did not have the best results in his 2025 season debut, taking the loss in a 10-3 game against the Pirates. Perez pitched three innings, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts on 70 pitches. The 22-year-old had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April of last year and hadn't appeared in an MLB regular-season game since September of 2023. While the box score wasn't great, it was encouraging to see Perez back on the mound for the Marlins topping out at 99.7 MPH. Perez looked great from a fantasy perspective in 2023 and had success in his minor-league rehab assignment this season, but fantasy managers will need to be patient as he gets back into the swing of things. His next scheduled start will be a decent matchup at the Nationals.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher
Chris Sale was dialed in for Monday's 7-1 win over the Brewers. Sale pitched seven innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with a season-high 11 strikeouts. The 36-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down after earning the National League Cy Young Award last season. He has been excellent in his first two seasons with the Braves after an up-and-down tenure with the Red Sox. Sale is now 4-4 with a 2.79 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and an 11.94 K/9 rate in 14 starts and 80 2/3 IP. His next start will be an excellent matchup against the Rockies at home.

Philadelphia Phillies infield/outfield prospect
Otto Kemp recorded his first major league hit on Monday, finishing with three hits in the game in five at-bats, and he scored once in the 4-3 extra-innings win over the Cubs. The 25-year-old went hitless in his first five at-bats in the big leagues, and we'll see how he performs going forward now with some confidence under his belt. The Phils' 24th-ranked prospect was on fire prior to his call-up, slashing .313/.416/.594 with 14 home runs and 11 steals in 58 games. Kemp was called up when
Bryce Harper (wrist) hit the IL, but if he continues to hit, Philadelphia may have some tough decisions to make when Harper returns. As for fantasy, Kemp could be a speculative add for his power and ability to steal bases in deep leagues, especially given his eligibility at both 3B and 2B on Yahoo!.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect
Cooper Pratt went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and stole two bases on Sunday for Double-A Biloxi. After slashing .265/.346/.404 over his first 35 games, the 20-year-old went into a 7-for-59 (.119) funk over his next 16 contests. The 6-foot-3 slugger is now slashing .231/.314/.342 for the year after his three-hit game, with 10 doubles, four home runs, and 12 steals. The Brewers will likely want to see a continuation of Sunday's performance for a while before considering pushing him to Triple-A, and Milwaukee's third-ranked prospect, who has solid all-around tools, has an MLB ETA of 2027 per MLB.com.

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Angel Genao (shoulder) was activated from the seven-day injured list and is now back with Double-A Akron as of this past Friday. The 21-year-old suffered a right shoulder sprain in spring training that has kept him out until this point, but he recently completed an eight-game rehab assignment with the ACL Guardians during which time he went 8-for-26 (.308) with three home runs and a 6:4 BB:K. The switch-hitter played his first game of the year for the RubberDucks on Friday, going hitless in four at-bats in his season debut. The Guardians' fourth-ranked prospect (MLB No. 52) is coming off a phenomenal 2024 campaign and could find himself in Triple-A in the latter half of the season with a strong showing at Double-A. He looks like a potential multi-category fantasy producer in the making, so dynasty managers should be keeping a close eye on how he performs over the next couple of months.

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje (arm) was pulled from his start back on May 31 with general arm soreness and hasn't pitched since, but is scheduled to get back into the rotation for High-A Everett this Wednesday. The switch-handed pitcher has performed well so far this year when deployed as a starter (12 appearances, nine starts), posting a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 42 in 39 1/3 innings pitched. Hopefully this was just a bump in the road and will not be a recurring problem throughout the season. The Mariners' eighth-ranked prospect is an intriguing prospect with the ability to pitch as both a lefty and a righty, and it will be interesting to see if that helps him get fast-tracked to the majors sooner than his 2027 ETA per MLB.com.
