Jose Caballero Sitting With an Elbow Injury
New York Yankees infielder Jose Caballero (elbow) will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Texas Rangers in the Bronx, per MLB.com. Caballero will be given the day off after he was hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Wednesday's game. Max Schuemann is starting at shortstop and will bat eighth for the Yankees against Rangers left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Caballero stayed in Wednesday's game, so he should be ready to return for Friday's series opener on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers. The speedy infielder is still the team's starting shortstop after Anthony Volpe was reinstated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 29-year-old native of Panama is a fine fantasy baseball asset in most leagues for his speed. He's slashing .256/.311/.400 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 17 runs scored for the Yankees in his first 125 at-bats of the year. Schuemann can be ignored for DFS purposes at the bottom of the lineup. He's hitless in four career at-bats versus Gore.

Ben Rice Still Absent for Series Finale Against Rangers
New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice (hand) remains absent from the starting nine for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Texas Rangers, according to MLB.com. Paul Goldschmidt will make yet another start at first base and will bat leadoff for the Yanks with Rangers left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound. Rice is recovering from a left-hand contusion that has kept him out for a few games, and the Yankees are likely just giving him an extra day to recover with a tough left-handed pitcher on the mound. We'd expect Rice to return for the upcoming series in Milwaukee against the Brewers, potentially as early as Friday's series opener. Whenever the 27-year-old returns to New York's lineup, he'll be a must-start after his scorching start to the 2026 season. Rice is hitting .343 (37-for-108) with 12 home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs, and two stolen bases in his first 33 games played. Goldschmidt will be a popular DFS pick on Thursday in the leadoff spot against a lefty whom he's hit .333 against with an .864 OPS against in 10 career at-bats.

Chase Dollander Offers a High Ceiling Off the Waiver Wire
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chase Dollander will be looking to bounce back from a rough outing when he makes his next appearance for the Rockies, likely on Friday. He has been working behind an opener most of the season, and he was on a great run before giving up six runs in 5 1/3 innings to the Braves last Saturday. The 24-year-old top prospect had been excellent in his previous seven games, posting a 1.29 ERA and 1.78 FIP with a 0.89 WHIP over 28 innings. He has 42 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings this season, and he has an elite ceiling if he can continue to realize his potential. Like many young pitchers, the 24-year-old is a volatile option from game to game, but he's shown a high enough ceiling to be a nice pickup if you need help in the rotation. He carries risk when making a home start at Coors Field, but has shown a high enough ceiling that is worth picking up in all 12-team leagues.

Jordan Mason Still Holding Dynasty Value
Following the trade that sent running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the 2025 season, the fourth-year back was pegged as a popular breakout candidate, rising all the way to RB24 in consensus dynasty rankings. By most metrics, Mason's first year in Minnesota was a disappointment. Even with Aaron Jones Sr. missing significant time, Mason was held to only 758 rushing yards and six touchdowns while the entirety of the Vikings' offense was held back by listless quarterback play. The Vikings have found at least a short-term fix at quarterback, bringing in Kyler Murray on a one-year deal, and while Minnesota was labeled as one of the more running back-needy teams entering the 2026 NFL Draft, the team waited until the sixth round of a weak class to address the position, selecting Demond Claiborne out of Wake Forest. At 5'9" and 195 pounds, Claiborne poses little threat to Mason's between-the-tackles early-down work. With both Mason and Jones in the final year of their contracts, the importance of the 2026 season for Mason's long-term dynasty value can not be overstated. He enters the season as RotoBaller's RB50, but that ranking could climb if Minnesota's offense can shake off a forgettable 2025 campaign.

Brad Keller Remains a Potential Ninth-Inning Option for Phillies, Earns Third Save
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller had a rocky ninth inning against the A's on Wednesday night, but he still secured his third save of the year. Keller gave up a single and two walks to load the bases before getting Jacob Wilson to ground out to end the game. Keller needed 22 pitches to earn his third save in the last six days, and he'll remain a primary setup man for Jhoan Duran, who just returned from the injured list and threw 27 pitches on Tuesday. With Duran unavailable, Keller stepped in once again. He has a 4.02 ERA in his 15 2/3 innings this season and will remain in a high-leverage role, even though Duran should get most of the save chances for the Phillies now that he's healthy.

Aaron Rodgers Planning a Visit With Steelers
Free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers is planning to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers to further discuss his future with the team, as reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. While no deal is currently in place, there is speculation that the visit could be the next step toward getting him signed for the 2026 season. Rodgers threw for 3,322 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first season with Pittsburgh. Following a mutual parting of ways between the Steelers and long-time head coach Mike Tomlin, a return to the Steel City by the 42-year-old veteran would also mean a reunion between Rodgers and new head coach Mike McCarthy after the two spent 13 seasons together in Green Bay, including a Super Bowl-winning 2010 campaign. The Steelers added quarterback Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and should the team find itself in a situation where it is forced to move forward without Rodgers, the Penn State rookie would likely compete with seven-year veteran Mason Rudolph and 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard for the starting job.

Graham Ashcraft Allows Two Runs, Blows Save Opportunity on Wednesday
Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Graham Ashcraft couldn't close out the Cubs on Wednesday night, picking up his second blown save of the season. After the Reds rallied to take the lead in the top of the ninth, Ashcraft came in to secure the win, but he gave up a single to Carson Kelly and a game-tying home run to Pete Crow-Armstrong. He was able to finish the inning but was charged with two runs on two hits, causing his ERA to rise to 1.93 on the season. In his 17 previous appearances, Ashcraft had allowed two earned runs across 17 2/3 innings with 19 strikeouts. With Emilio Pagan (hamstring) on the injured list, Ashcraft and Tony Santillan will likely share closer duties. However, Santillan blew the save on Tuesday and Ashcraft on Wednesday, leaving the job still wide open while Pagan is out for an extended period of time.

What is Dontayvion Wicks' Dynasty Ceiling?
The Philadelphia Eagles sent fifth and sixth-round picks to acquire wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks as part of their near-total overhaul of the position. With the team expected to trade three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown on or after June 1st, the new look receiver room in Philadelphia now includes Wicks, incumbent DeVonta Smith, Marquise Brown, and 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon. The Eagles also added tight end Eli Stowers in the second round of the NFL Draft after many teams were reportedly scouting him through the lens of a wide receiver. After three seasons in a crowded receiver room in Green Bay, Wicks finds himself in a similar situation in Philadelphia, but at 6'1", 206 pounds, he profiles as the most likely candidate to inherit some of Brown's snaps on the boundary. While the Packers have been one of the most run-heavy teams in recent years, the Eagles have thrown the ball at an even lesser rate, so even if Wicks can carve out a more meaningful role, his fantasy ceiling is still capped. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR104, he still belongs on rosters for what he could offer should injuries eventually condense targets in Philadelphia, but his contributions could be limited for the foreseeable future.

Gregory Soto Tallies Second Save for Pirates, Settling in as Closer to Roster?
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Gregory Soto secured his second save of the season on Wednesday night, pitching a scoreless ninth inning to complete a close, 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks. Soto combined with Paul Skenes on the shutout and worked around a walk to Geraldo Perdomo to lock down the win. The veteran lefty has allowed three runs in 18 innings this season, posting a 1.50 ERA, 2.53 FIP, and 0.72 WHIP. He has 24 strikeouts in his 18 frames this year, and he has six holds to go with his two saves. If he consistently gets the call in the ninth, he'll be a solid closer to roster, but he has been used earlier in games in high-leverage situations against lefties. He and Dennis Santana will continue to share the closer role, but Soto has been more effective and could start to get more of the timeshare if he continues to be so effective.

Ja'Tavion Sanders a Sneaky Buy in Dynasty Leagues
Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders can arguably be thrown into the category of 2026 offseason winners, but how that actually translates to his dynasty value remains to be seen. The Panthers were considered one of the most tight end-needy teams in the league, but in an NFL Draft that saw 21 tight ends come off the board, not one of them went to Carolina. Sanders led all Panthers tight ends with 29 receptions in 2025 and finished within 60 yards of Tommy Tremble despite missing five games with a high ankle sprain and later a broken ankle to end his season. All reports have him recovering well, and while calls are growing louder for a Jalen Coker breakout, there is still a serious lack of target competition behind 2025 Offensive Player of the Year Tetairoa McMillan. If Sanders can beat out Tremble and 2025 fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans as the team's primary pass-catcher at the position, there should be enough opportunity to make a modest fantasy impact. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE37, expectations are low, but if Sanders can take a step forward in year three, as used to be the norm before the recent tight end resurgence, he could be a low-cost add who offers usable depth moving forward.

Rico Garcia Earns Second Save, Emerging as Temporary Closer for Orioles
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Rico Garcia slammed the door on the Marlins on Wednesday night to earn his second save of the season. He issued a walk to Owen Caissie to start the inning, but Garcia induced a double play from Otto Lopez and fanned Javier Sanoja to end the game. Garcia earned his second save of the year by securing the three-run win for Baltimore, and the 32-year-old righty should continue to have fantasy value as the team's closer as long as Ryan Helsley (elbow) is on the injured list. In his 18 games this season, Garcia has allowed just one run on one hit across 17 innings with 19 strikeouts. If you need a short-term addition to your bullpen, Garcia is one of the top options to consider.

Tank Dell Steadily Regaining Dynasty Value
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell suffered a gruesome knee injury in Week 16 of the 2024 season, which ended his sophomore campaign and caused him to miss all of the 2025 season. After dislocating his knee and tearing multiple ligaments, his recovery has been arduous, but signs now point to his eventual return in 2026. Dell has been participating in the early stages of organized team activities, and there is a belief he could be ready for the start of the season. With the Texans adding Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in the 2025 NFL Draft, it's uncertain how the receiver rotation will work out alongside two-time Pro Bowler Nico Collins. Dell has taken more than 70% of his professional snaps on the outside, so despite vastly different body types, his most direct competition would appear to be the 6'4", 215-pound Higgins. Dell finished as WR38 as a rookie in 2023, and he's risen back up to WR66 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings after falling as low as WR87 in consensus ranks. That said, with the improved depth of the position since he last took the field, the ceiling could be capped for all Texans pass-catchers outside of Collins.

Jack Perkins Blows First Save, in Danger of Losing Top Closer Job?
Athletics relief pitcher Jack Perkins was charged with a blown save on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. He allowed four runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk, while picking up two strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings. Perkins came into the game to start the seventh inning and retired the Phillies in order with two strikeouts. Things fell apart on him in the eighth, though, and he left runners on the corners with one out after a costly error by second baseman Jeff McNeil. Those runners came around to score, and Perkins took his first loss of the season. The 26-year-old righty still has a 3.68 ERA and 1.78 FIP with a 30.2% strikeout rate. Even though this was officially a blown save, it came before the ninth inning, which shows the A's are still not using him as a traditional, everyday closer. Perkins remains in the mix for saves along with Hogan Harris and Joel Kuhnel, but it's hard to trust any of them for fantasy with the current uncertainty, making him best left for deeper 12+ team leagues.

Paul George Does a Little Bit of Everything in Game 2 Loss
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George had one of his best performances of the 2026 NBA Playoffs on Wednesday, logging 19 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks in a 108-102 loss to the New York Knicks. He made five triples on 13 attempts and finished 7-for-18 overall from the field. With Joel Embiid (ankle, hip) out of the lineup, George was clearly more active on the offensive end, but he struggled to convert his opportunities efficiently. If Embiid remains out for Game 3, George will likely continue to see increased offensive usage.

Tyrese Maxey Tallies Team-High 26 Points in Wednesday's Loss
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey scored a team-high 26 points with a 9-for-23 effort from the field in Wednesday's Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. With Maxey leading the charge, the 76ers made it difficult for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, but their offense fell apart late in the fourth quarter. Fatigue may have affected Maxey, who played the entire second half and logged 46:48 overall. Maxey, who was limited to 1-for-6 from deep, also posted three rebounds, six assists, and one steal, but six turnovers marred his line. While Maxey led his team in scoring on Wednesday and tied Jalen Brunson for the game high, his offensive play has been disappointing in the second-round series. So far, he has made only 37.5% of his field-goal attempts, going 1-for-9 from three-point range.

Jalen Brunson Leads Knicks With 26 Points Wednesday
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson led his team in scoring with 26 points as the team secured a 2-0 series lead over the Philadelphia 76ers with a 108-102 home win on Wednesday. In a tightly contested game, Brunson saved some of his best moves for last, scoring six points down the stretch when the teams were tied at 99. In 41 minutes, his line also included one rebound, six assists, and one steal. He had some efficiency issues in the game, finishing 1-for-5 with the three-ball and 9-for-21 from the field. Through two games in the second-round matchup, Brunson is averaging over 30 points per game and will certainly try to spearhead New York's effort in Game 3 again.

Victor Wembanyama Notches Another Double-Double
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama finished Wednesday's 133-95 Game 2 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 19-point, 15-rebound double-double. In 26 minutes on the floor, he added 15 rebounds, one steal, and two blocks. Wembanyama once again filled the box score despite a lackluster 7-for-15 effort from the field. For the second consecutive game, he struggled massively from downtown, going 2-for-7. The French superstar now boasts a four-game double-double streak, which includes one triple-double. Wembanyama is relishing his first opportunity to play playoff basketball, making an impact in all areas. Across six outings, he has averaged 19.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 5.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game.

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle scored a game-high 21 points in Wednesday's 133-95 blowout win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, going 6-for-10 from the field and 9-for-9 at the charity stripe. Castle missed his lone three-point attempt while wrapping up his line in 24 minutes with four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. The 21-year-old sophomore also had five turnovers, but they didn't affect the outcome as San Antonio completely dominated. In his first postseason campaign, Castle has done a good job as one of Victor Wembanyama's sidekicks. He's averaging 19.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in 30.9 minutes per game.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu didn't complete Wednesday's Game 2 against the San Antonio Spurs due to right heel pain. He played only 10 minutes, recording one steal and one block. Dosunmu missed all four field-goal attempts. The Timberwolves had Dosunmu back in the lineup after he sat out two games with a sore calf. Unfortunately, he ran into a new health issue on Wednesday night, leaving him questionable for Game 3 and beyond. Terrence Shannon Jr. has performed well amid Minnesota's injury woes this postseason and could remain an important cog in the rotation if Dosunmu has to miss more time.

OG Anunoby Suffers Apparent Leg Injury Wednesday
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby appeared to have injured his right leg in the closing stages of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers, ESPN's Vincent Goodwill reports. He left the action with 2:56 remaining in the fourth quarter. "It looked like he was hopping, but I don't know anything," Knicks head coach Mike Brown said postgame. "They haven't told me. I just know he left the game. Nobody said he was back. I haven't talked to anybody yet." Anunoby was indeed hooping, as he was a key figure in New York's 108-102 win. In 37 minutes, Anunoby recorded 24 points, five rebounds, two assists, four steals, and one block. He struggled from beyond the arc, going 2-for-7, but finished a solid 9-for-17 overall. Anunoby is enjoying a great postseason, and losing him would be a tough blow for the Knicks.

Mark Stone Nets Late Power-Play Goal in Losing Effort
Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone scored a power-play goal in Game 2 against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. His third marker of the playoffs ended up being a late consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat. The Golden Knights captain has also had three assists in eight games this postseason. After starting the 2026 playoffs with a three-game point streak, Stone's offensive production has been inconsistent. Compared with the regular season, his scoring average has fallen from 1.22 points per game to 0.75. The Vegas offense is full of quality, but it still relies on Stone to make a significant impact. If his form doesn't improve, the team could be in trouble against the high-scoring Ducks.

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson scored the game-winning goal as his team tied the second-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 with a 3-1 road victory.

He's averaging more than a point per game in the postseason, with four goals and five assists in eight outings. Yet Carlsson has been on the score sheet in back-to-back games just once this postseason. Greater consistency from him would benefit the team.

In Round 1, he also got things started with a productive outing, scoring a hat trick. But those were Slafkovsky's only points in the series. Eight games into the postseason, Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield still haven't registered any even-strength points, which must be concerning for the Canadiens.

While Rasmus Dahlin has typically been the star man on the Sabres' blue line, it's been the Byram show so far in the playoffs. Bizarrely, he hadn't scored a single goal in his first 28 Stanley Cup Playoffs appearances before erupting for four goals in six games.

Jared Jones Throws 54 Pitches in Rehab Outing on Wednesday
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jared Jones (elbow) threw 54 pitches across three innings of work in a rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, allowing five hits, one earned run, and one walk while striking out two. It was the second rehab start for Jones as he works his way back from internal brace surgery on his right elbow. The 24-year-old has not appeared in an MLB game since September 2024, but he appears to be progressing towards a return to the big leagues in the not-too-distant future. Jones flashed significant upside as a rookie in 2024, posting a 6-8 record with a 4.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 132 strikeouts across 121 2/3 innings (22 starts). He's currently on the 60-day injured list, so a late-May/early-June return for Jones is likely the plan in Pittsburgh. Fantasy managers should consider stashing Jones off the waiver wire now in leagues where he is available.

Kodai Senga Plays Catch on Wednesday, Feeling "A Lot Better"
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that starting pitcher Kodai Senga (back) played catch on Wednesday and is feeling "a lot better," per Laura Albanese of Newsday. Senga was placed on the 15-day injured list in late April after receiving an epidural injection to treat lumbar spine inflammation. The 33-year-old was off to a terrible start to the 2026 season before hitting the IL, recording a 0-4 record with a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts across five starts (20 innings). Senga was initially shut down from throwing, but it appears as though he's now progressing towards a return. Injuries have been a persistent issue for Senga, who has now thrown just 138 2/3 innings since the start of the 2024 season. Given his spotty health track record and his ineffectiveness this season, Senga can likely be dropped in most fantasy formats.

Shane Bieber Throws Bullpen on Wednesday, Looks "Sharp"
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that starting pitcher Shane Bieber (elbow) threw a bullpen on Wednesday and "looked sharp," per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Bannon reports that Bieber is scheduled to throw another bullpen next week before progressing to work against live hitters. The veteran right-hander has yet to pitch in 2026 as he works his way back from elbow and forearm issues that landed him on the 60-day injured list before the start of the season. Bieber underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2024, which kept him out until August 2025. He was effective down the stretch for Toronto, recording a 4-2 record with a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 37 strikeouts across 40 1/3 innings (seven starts). While Bieber is not eligible to return from the injured list until late May at the earliest, it appears that he's slowly making progress. Once healthy, he should be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Logan Webb Undergoing Further Evaluation on Left Knee
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (knee) is undergoing further evaluation on his left knee after exiting early from his start on Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres. After the game, Webb said that he has been dealing with discomfort in the knee for "a little while." The 29-year-old is off to a very slow start to 2026, as he's posted a 2-4 record with a 5.06 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 42 strikeouts across 48 innings (eight starts). The knee issues could provide an explanation for Webb's struggles. While Webb downplayed the injury after his start on Tuesday, it appears as though the team is seeking an exact diagnosis, and a trip to the injured list could be on the table. Should Webb miss time, right-hander Trevor McDonald could be the favorite to take his spot in the Giants' rotation.
