Miami Marlins starting pitcher Robby Snelling took the loss in his first MLB start on Friday against the Nationals. He worked five innings and gave up three runs on five hits and four walks while throwing 86 pitches. After starting the game with an impressive strikeout of James Wood, he gave up all three runs in the first inning, including a two-run blast from Jacob Young. Snelling settled in and didn't give up a run in the next four frames, but he also didn't have any strikeouts during those innings. The 22-year-old lefty had a sparkling 1.86 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 29 innings at Triple-A, and he still brings a high ceiling and excellent strikeout potential for as long as he stays in the starting rotation. His next turn lines up to be Thursday in Minnesota, and he remains a great option going forward, even though the results weren't ideal in his debut.--Zach Thompson

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama poured in 39 points, 15 rebounds, one assist, five blocks, and one steal in Friday's 115-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3. The French superstar shot 13-for-18 from the field, 3-for-5 from three-point range, and 10-for-12 at the line across 37 minutes. San Antonio now leads the series 2-1, and Wembanyama became the fourth player in NBA history with at least 35 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks in a playoff game, joining Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.--Brian Dailisan

New York Knicks guard/forward Mikal Bridges contributed 23 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals in Friday's 108-94 Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Villanova product hit two three-pointers and finished 8-for-14 from the field, going a perfect 5-for-5 at the free-throw line. Bridges and Josh Hart made consecutive baskets that pushed the lead to 92-84 in the fourth quarter, helping close out Philadelphia on the road. He has turned his postseason around after averaging only 7.2 points across his first five postseason performances, and four straight productive outings have shifted the conversation around his Knicks tenure.--Brian Dailisan

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. missed five games in 2025 while struggling through hamstring, hip, and shoulder issues, but when healthy, he was still the team's preferred back on the field. He led first-year Viking Jordan Mason by nearly five offensive snaps and 12 yards from scrimmage per game. Minnesota was pegged as one of the most running back-needy teams heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, but they waited until late Day 3 to address the position, selecting Wake Forest's Demond Claiborne in the sixth round. While the 5'9", 195-pound rookie poses more of a threat to Jones than the 223-pound early down thumper Mason, the backfield is likely heading towards an even more ambiguous split. At 31 years old, Jones won't come close to approaching his former league-winning ceiling, but given his well-rounded skill set in both the run and pass games, he's still a safe bet to be the Vikings' most valuable back for fantasy. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB53, Jones is a low-cost add for contending managers seeking depth, with the understanding that, entering the final year of his current contract, he is unlikely to return value beyond 2026.--Patrick McGrath

New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones made his long-awaited MLB debut on Friday night, and if you are looking for some power potential on the waiver wire, he has a lot of upside to offer. Jones went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts in his debut, but facing flame-throwing Jacob Misiorowski is a tough ask for any rookie. The 24-year-old lefty still has plenty of upside to consider moving forward, though, after he crushed 11 homers in his 33 games in Triple-A this season and hit 35 homers in 116 games in the minors last year. Jones has had an extremely high strikeout rate throughout his career and has been a "two-outcome" option throughout his climb through the minors. If he gets regular playing time, he will likely be able to produce power in the majors as well, although he will also likely hurt your batting average or other categories that reward contact over pure power. With Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) both on the shelf, Jones should see near everyday at-bats in the short term.--Zach Thompson

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. recorded 22 points, eight rebounds, and one assist in Friday's 108-94 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 3. The 30-year-old shot 7-for-16 from the field, 2-for-5 from three-point range, and 6-for-6 at the foul line while logging 36 minutes. Oubre led Philadelphia in scoring on a night when Joel Embiid returned but finished with 18 points, and Paul George went scoreless after the first quarter. He has scored 19 and 22 points in the last two games, keeping his offensive role useful as the Sixers face elimination Sunday.--Brian Dailisan

When wide receiver Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the New England Patriots, he shot all the way up to WR35 in consensus dynasty rankings, but with A.J. Brown all but assumed to be joining the team on or after June 1st, he has fallen nearly 15 spots in those same rankings. When or if a trade for Brown does become official, the inevitable dip to Doubs' value could make him one of the most attractive trade-for candidates in dynasty leagues. He will still be tied to 23-year-old MVP runner-up Drake Maye for the foreseeable future, and with many presuming that a trade for Brown could include downfield specialist Kayshon Boutte heading to Philadelphia, Doubs' role in two-receiver sets could be secure. His ceiling would obviously be capped in an offense with the three-time Pro Bowler Brown, but with the latter turning 29 in June, there is a world in which the 26-year-old Doubs could see his role continue to grow as the Patriots build an offense around Maye. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR58, the market has already punished Doubs for the presumed trade, but should managers essentially double-count the deal once it becomes official, he becomes an even more obvious buy.--Patrick McGrath

Athletics relief pitcher Hogan Harris came on in the ninth inning of his team's one-run win over the Orioles on Friday night. He didn't start the inning, but he did get the final out to earn his second save of the year. Jack Perkins actually got the call to start the final frame but gave up a run on a walk and a single, with Harris coming in with a runner on first and two outs. Harris walked Leody Taveras but then fanned Jeremiah Jackson to end the threat and secure the victory. Perkins, Harris, and Joel Kuhnel continue to share work at the end of the game, and all three pitched on Friday. Harris has been the best of the trio lately, with Perkins blowing a save on Wednesday and struggling again on Friday. In deeper leagues, Harris has enough value and potential to take over the role to be a strong stash candidate if you are desperately seeking saves.--Zach Thompson

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 18 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 108-94 Game 3 loss to the New York Knicks. Returning from a one-game absence due to a hip injury, the seven-time All-Star went 7-for-17 from the field, 0-for-4 from three-point range, and 4-for-6 at the free-throw line. Karl-Anthony Towns and Embiid were physical from the opening tip, and the Sixers big man couldn't get into rhythm against New York's frontcourt. Philadelphia now faces a 3-0 series deficit with Game 4 set for Sunday, and Embiid will need a much sharper effort to keep the series alive.--Brian Dailisan

Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden continued his magical second-season run with the Knights on Friday. Howden scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in the Game 3 win over the Anaheim Ducks. He now has eight points, including six goals, which ties him with Mitch Marner for the NHL postseason lead. The center of attention has won an amazing 59.7% of his face-offs over nine games. Howden also has two short-handed goals as well, all on 16 shots. Many expected Tomas Hertl to be in this position, but the 28-year-old Howden has stolen the show. Sometimes the most unexpected performances take a life of their own.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson recorded 33 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 108-94 Game 3 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The two-time All-NBA guard shook off a 2-for-8 start to finish 11-for-22 from the field, 3-for-8 from three-point range, and 8-for-9 at the free-throw line. Brunson buried a three from the top of the arc during a fourth-quarter 9-0 Knicks run that effectively closed the game. "I'm Linus. Jalen's my blanket," head coach Mike Brown said postgame. New York now sits one win from a second straight conference finals appearance after its sixth straight postseason victory.--Brian Dailisan

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mitch Marner took control of Game 3 against the Anaheim Ducks. Marner notched a hat trick and added an assist in the 6-2 road triumph. That included five shots on goal, a short-handed assist, a power-play goal, and a game-winning goal. Marner now leads all playoff scorers with 13 points. He has also passed his career postseason high of three goals set in 2023. The forward looks very comfortable, all while playing 23:07 of ice time on Friday night. This makes three postseasons where Marner has had double-digit points, with 10 points coming in the past five contests.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski didn't show any signs of being hindered by his hamstring after being pulled early from his last start in the team's 6-0 shutout win over the visiting New York Yankees on Friday night. Misiorowski showed why he's one of the most dominant young arms in baseball with six shutout innings to earn his third victory of the year while dropping his season ERA to 2.45. The Miz allowed just two hits, walked two, and tied a season high with 11 strikeouts. The 24-year-old hard-throwing right-hander was bringing the cheese, nearly hitting 104 mph on the radar gun with his fastball in the first inning at American Family Field. Forty-one of Misiorowski's 95 pitches on the night registered in triple digits, making it look easy against one of the best offenses in the league. After the dominant performance, he now holds a 2.45 ERA with 70 strikeouts and 17 walks in his 44 innings pitched across eight starts. Misiorowski has quickly become a must-start fantasy ace in his first full year in the bigs.--Keith Hernandez

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease was dominant again in his outing on Friday night against the visiting Los Angeles Angels in the team's 2-0 shutout win. Cease threw seven shutout frames while allowing five hits, walking none, and striking out 10 to earn his third victory of the year in his first year with the Blue Jays. He also lowered his ERA on the year to 2.58. It was the second straight start in which Cease went seven innings, and he induced 19 swings and misses on his 97 pitches. The 30-year-old veteran only allowed one extra-base hit on the evening at the Rogers Centre as he made easy work of the struggling Halos. Cease has been an excellent pickup for Toronto so far in 2026, as he entered Friday's outing with a 2-1 record, 3.05 ERA (2.12 FIP), and 1.33 WHIP with 56 strikeouts and 18 walks in 38 1/3 innings pitched. He has recorded three double-digit strikeout performances in his eight starts so far in 2026. Cease will have a big challenge on his hand in his next outing next week versus the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, but he's been a must-start for fantasy managers.--Keith Hernandez

Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander (hip) will throw a live batting practice session on Saturday, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. It will be Verlander's first time facing hitters since landing on the 15-day injured list in early April with left-hip inflammation. It's a positive step for the 43-year-old veteran, but there's still no specific timetable for his return, and we wouldn't be surprised if he's not back with the Tigers until the calendar flips to May. In his lone start in his return to Motown in 2026 against the Arizona Diamondbacks on March 30, Verlander struggled, allowing five earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out only one in 3 2/3 innings. Durability is a major question for the future Hall of Famer and three-time Cy Young winner as he nears the end of his outstanding career, although he did make 29 starts with the San Francisco Giants a year ago. In addition to injury issues, Verlander is no longer the dominant strikeout artist he once was, and he's only rostered in 5% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel (hamstring) will run the bases to test his hamstring this weekend. If all goes well, he could go on a minor-league rehab assignment next week, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Teel has been on the 10-day injured list all season to this point with a right-hamstring strain, but if he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment, he could be activated to make his 2026 season debut by next weekend. When the 24-year-old is finally cleared to return to the major-league roster, he should operate as Chicago's primary backstop. The former first-rounder (14th overall) by the Boston Red Sox in 2023 out of Virginia handled himself well in 78 games across 297 plate appearances in his rookie campaign in 2025 with the Pale Hose, slashing .273/.375/.411 with a .786 OPS, eight home runs, 35 RBI, 38 runs scored, and three stolen bases. Fantasy managers looking to upgrade at the catching position may want to stash Teel now. He's currently rostered in just 10% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available.--Keith Hernandez

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe has been taking care of business lately. Uribe has notched three of his last four save chances, but is posting a 4.05 ERA on the season. It hasn't always been pretty, but Uribe has mostly been reliable when it matters most. The Brewers have a few options they can use in the ninth inning, but they've been leaning on Uribe lately. The right-hander has recorded each of the last three save chances. Uribe has a ton of potential as a long-term closer, but there are some growing pains as well. The Brewers should be winning enough to give Uribe plenty of opportunities moving forward. Despite some struggles, fantasy managers seeking a source for saves should add Uribe.--Andy Webb

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) said he's been in Denver "basically the whole offseason," according to Park Gabriel of The Denver Post. "Just nursing the hamstring, overall getting right, getting my body back, and working with our training staff." Bryant is trying to get his body right after injuring his hamstring in the team's AFC Championship game loss to the New England Patriots. After being drafted in the third round (74th overall) last year out of Illinois, Bryant caught 31 of his 49 targets for 378 yards and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games (seven starts). His 378 yards ranked fourth on the team. The 6-foot-2, 204-pound wideout saw his role increase late in the season behind WR1 Courtland Sutton, but he mostly operated as the third or fourth wideout in Denver in his first year in the NFL. The 23-year-old will now look to carve out a bigger role in his sophomore campaign in 2026, but that's going to be difficult to do after Denver acquired Jaylen Waddle from the Dolphins in a big offseason trade. Bryant will probably go undrafted in 12-team fantasy leagues this fall. RotoBaller has him currently ranked as the No. 77 fantasy wideout.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Tanner Scott is off to a strong start to the 2026 season. After some struggles last season, Scott appears to have made the correct adjustments. He currently owns a 1.88 ERA with a 15:2 K/BB ratio across 14.2 innings of work this season. The southpaw has fallen back into a high-leverage role with Edwin Diaz (elbow) currently sidelined. Scott notched his second save of the season on Sunday. He figures to be the favorite for saves, but Alex Vesia could also get mixed in as well. Scott has the stuff to be an elite closer moving forward. He has shown that he can do it in the past and should get a legitimate shot while Diaz is down. Fantasy managers seeking bullpen help should look into adding Scott.--Andy Webb

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung has been putting together a solid run at the plate lately. He recently saw his 13-game hitting streak come to an end on Wednesday. During that span, Jung slashed .400/.455/.620 with two home runs and 11 RBI. He has cooled off a bit since seeing his hitting streak end, but that shouldn't sway away fantasy managers. The 28-year-old has been impressive against right-handed pitching all season long. He has shown the upside to be a dominant right-handed power threat throughout his career. Fantasy managers in need of some offensive help right now should consider adding Jung while he's hot.--Andy Webb

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been skipping voluntary offseason workouts as he waits for a new contract, but head coach Mike LaFleur said the team has been in contact with him, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. "He's played a lot of football, and we're in communication," LaFleur said Friday. "He knows what the expectation is." Brissett has been informed by the team that he is their starting QB for the 2026 season after the organization moved on from Kyler Murray this offseason. The Cardinals added veteran Gardner Minshew in free agency and also drafted QB Carson Beck, but Brissett will be the starter in the desert after his strong 2025 season. After taking over for an injured Murray in Week 6, the 33-year-old former third-rounder by the New England Patriots in 2016 elevated Arizona's pass-happy offense and finished with a career-best 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). It was good enough for a QB15 finish in fantasy scoring. However, in what is expected to be a much more balanced offense under LaFleur in 2026, we're expecting regression from Brissett. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 27 fantasy QB.--Keith Hernandez

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) could take part in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities later this month, although the team will be cautious as he recovers from a torn right Achilles tendon, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. With Jones being limited, it will open the door for second-year QB Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson Sr. to see more reps this spring. Jones continues to rehab from his season-ending injury a year ago, and it was reported several weeks ago that he was dropping back and throwing passes. Because it's unclear as of now if Jones will be fully cleared for the start of the 2026 campaign this fall, Jones should be considered a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers despite his strong season in 2025 in his first year in Indy. The 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke completed a career-high 68% of his 384 pass attempts for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in his 13 starts before tearing his Achilles in Week 14 against the Jaguars.--Keith Hernandez

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Louis Varland is quickly running away with the full-time closer job. He recently took over for the struggling Jeff Hoffman and has looked fantastic in the ninth-inning role. Varland tossed a scoreless frame on Friday to notch his fifth save of the season. The right-hander has allowed one earned run across 19.2 innings of work this season. He owns a 1.07 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and only seven walks to his name. Given how well he's pitching, Varland should remain the favorite for saves in Toronto going forward. Fantasy managers looking for a source of saves or need a reliable relief pitcher should check the waiver wire to see if Varland is available.--Andy Webb

He struggled during his first outing of the year, when he issued five walks across 1.1 innings of work on April 23. Since then, Scott has cleaned up his act on the mound and is putting together quality numbers. During his most recent outing, Scott tossed 4.2 innings, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out six batters in a no-decision against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander has walked only two batters since his rough outing to begin the season. He's currently lined up to face the Detroit Tigers in his next start. He should be considered a possible deep league streaming option for that one.--Andy Webb

Over the last two weeks, Young has collected 16 hits with nine RBI, which ranked him in the top 100 value over the span.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Friday that they placed right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) on the 15-day injured list with lower-back spasms and recalled right-hander Paul Gervase from the minors in a corresponding move. Glasnow will have to miss at least a couple turns through the starting rotation despite his MRI exam not showing anything serious. The 32-year-old hard-throwing veteran was pulled from his last start early on Wednesday in Houston against the Astros after just one inning after he felt his back give out on him while throwing warmup pitches before the second inning. It's a tough break for Glasnow, who has struck out 49 batters in 39 2/3 innings of work so far in his seven starts for the Dodgers in 2026 while allowing more than two earned runs in a start just once. He's gone 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA and 0.83 WHIP and will need to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues. Hopefully, it ends up being a short stay on the shelf for Glasnow. In his absence, right-hander Roki Sasaki could be tasked with taking Glasnow's rotation spot.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (illness) was scratched from Friday's game against the visiting New York Mets due to an illness, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. With Marte under the weather, Ildemaro Vargas is making the start at second base at Chase Field and will hit in the two-hole against Mets right-hander Nolan McLean. Jose Fernandez will enter the lineup at first base. It continues what has been a rough start to the 2026 season for Marte, who came into Friday's action hitting a lowly .209/.262/.353 with a .614 OPS, five home runs, 13 RBI, and 19 runs scored in his 139 at-bats for the Snakes. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Saturday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to the D-backs' starting nine. Hopefully, the day off will help Marte get his head right so he can begin turning things around at the plate. Vargas has been one of the best storylines of the 2026 campaign early on, finding regular playing time in Arizona and hitting an impressive .360/.381/.614 in his 120 plate appearances.--Keith Hernandez

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hamstring) is considered questionable for Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. The 29-year-old three-point specialist sustained a left hamstring strain in Game 1 against Detroit and didn't suit up for Game 2. Jaylon Tyson and Dennis Schroder saw their minutes increase in Game 2 and will likely continue to lead the second unit alongside Max Strus if Merrill can't return on Saturday. That said, Cleveland's reserves struggled in Game 2, combining for only 17 points.--Taavi Pailk

He has come off the bench in the first two games of the series, allowing the team to better manage his workload after Edwards missed time due to a left knee injury. So far, he has averaged just 24.5 minutes per game against the Spurs. It's reasonable to assume Edwards will see more minutes on Friday night, which boosts his fantasy appeal.

Initially, the Pistons gave Caris LeVert an expanded role off the bench due to Huerter's absence, but Daniss Jenkins has been the main beneficiary in recent games.
