Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong will start on the bench for the first time this season in Thursday's game at Wrigley Field against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies with a left-hander on the mound, according to MLB.com. Matt Shaw will make the start in center field for the Cubbies and will hit eighth against left-hander Crisopher Sanchez. Crow-Armstrong heads to the bench after hitting .247 (23-for-93) with a home run, seven RBI, five stolen bases, and 14 runs scored in 101 plate appearances across his first 24 games in 2026. In his last four games, he's gone 6-for-15 with a double, triple, two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base. The 24-year-old former first-rounder by the New York Mets in 2020 struggled in the second half in 2025, but he was a first-time All-Star in his second full season in the big leagues and had 31 homers and 35 stolen bases total. Shaw will have limited DFS appeal at the bottom of the Chicago batting order in a tough matchup. He's gone hitless in two career at-bats against Sanchez.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ildemaro Vargas is entering the streaming radar in fantasy baseball leagues in the early portion of the 2026 season with his strong play in the desert. Getting the start at first base on Wednesday, Vargas went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI, and a strikeout in the team's 11-7 win over the visiting Chicago White Sox to raise his season average to .364 and his OPS to an impressive 1.079. The 34-year-old veteran has a hit in every game that he's played in so far this year, and he's now gone deep three times in his last two games. The Venezuelan infielder is now slashing a strong .364/.382/.697 with five total home runs, 16 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 66 at-bats for the Snakes. Vargas is worth streaming in deeper fantasy leagues, as he should continue to see plenty of playing time on the infield in the desert with first baseman Carlos Santana (thigh) on the injured list. He's rostered in only 23% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available for fantasy managers looking for a boost.--Keith Hernandez

Athletics right-handed reliever Joel Kuhnel has emerged as a favorite for saves in the team's bullpen early on in 2026, but he stumbled a bit on Wednesday in the team's 5-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Kuhnel was hit with his first loss of the year after allowing an earned run on four hits without walking or striking anyone out in two-thirds of an inning. The 31-year-old veteran and former 11th-round pick by the Cincinnati Reds in 2016 has allowed two earned runs now on eight hits while walking none and striking out three in 7 2/3 innings of work. He has locked down all four of his save chances and has yet to blow a save, which likely means he's not in any imminent danger of being removed from the closer's role in Sacramento. However, if Kuhnel continues to struggle after his outing on Wednesday, Hogan Harris, Jack Perkins, and Mark Leiter Jr. could all be involved in save situations for the A's going forward. Kuhnel is only rostered in 26% of Yahoo leagues currently.--Keith Hernandez

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) is likely headed to the 10-day injured list after being pulled from Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins early with a left-calf injury, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. The Mets are recalling infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse, and he could see playing time at the 6 in Queens while Lindor recovers. On the day that the Mets got All-Star outfielder Juan Soto back from the IL due to a calf injury, they lose their All-Star shortstop. It's been that kind of year so far for the Mets, who broke a 12-game losing streak on Wednesday. If the Mets choose to slide third baseman Bo Bichette to shortstop, Mauricio and Brett Baty could split playing time at the hot corner with Lindor on the IL. The 32-year-old Lindor was off to a slow start at the plate in his first 93 at-bats in 2026 before his calf injury, batting .226 (21-for-93) with two homers, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two steals. Fantasy managers must hold onto the five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger winner while he recovers.--Keith Hernandez

The NFL says it has been "closely monitoring all developments" in the matter surrounding Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr., according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. On Thursday, Pearce entered into a six-month pre-trial intervention program that will result in all charges being dismissed if all conditions are met, according to attorneys Jacob Nunez and Yale Sanford. It would result in no jail time for Pearc and no admission of guilt. The 22-year-old was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and eluding police, and resisting an officer with violence to his or her person, but this deal could clear Pearce of all charges. Even though Pearce won't be charged with any crimes if he follows through with the intervention program, it doesn't mean the NFL won't suspend him at some point during the 2026 season. After being taken late in the first round last year out of Tennessee, Pearce had 26 tackles (17 solo), 10.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 16 QB hits, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 17 games for Atlanta in his first year in the NFL in 2025.--Keith Hernandez

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that some NFL teams are "watching" the Detroit Lions, who hold the No. 17 overall pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, as a "trade-up threat." They have been making calls around the league. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, are looking at options to move up or down within the first round. If Dallas were to trade up from No. 20 overall, it probably wouldn't be a big jump up. As of right now, they don't want to give up the 20th overall pick. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns sit in the top 10 picks in the first round, and they could be trade partners with the Lions if they are looking to jump into the top 10 on Thursday evening. If the Lions trade up within the first round, it will almost certainly be to target a difference-making edge rusher to pair with Pro Bowler Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions are also in need of a starting right tackle to bolster their offensive line.--Keith Hernandez

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will not be with the team for the third day of the 2026 NFL draft this Saturday as he seeks counseling, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Vrabel addressed the media on Tuesday for the first time since the New York Post published photos that showed the coach embracing and holding hands with former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini at a resort in Arizona. Both Vrabel and Russini are married, and Vrabel has two sons with his wife, Jen. "As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization, and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend," Vrabel said. "This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them." The Patriots have 11 selections in this year's draft, including the 31st pick in the first round on Thursday night.--Keith Hernandez

The Baltimore Ravens are picking up wide receiver Zay Flowers' fifth-year option, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Flowers will earn $28 million in 2027. This was a no-brainer move for Baltimore, especially after Flowers earned Pro Bowl honors in each of the last two seasons while combining for 160 receptions (234 targets) for 2,270 yards and nine touchdowns in 34 regular-season games in 2024 and 2025. The 25-year-old was originally taken with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Boston College. Flowers had a 77-858-5 line on 108 targets over 16 starts in his rookie season before reaching the 1,000-yard mark in each of the last two campaigns. Although the Ravens' passing offense hasn't been all that great in Flowers' time with the team, he has led the team in receiving in each of his three years in the league. If both he and quarterback Lamar Jackson can stay healthy in 2026, Flowers could build on his numbers from last year, which included a career-high 1,211 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 17 starts.--Keith Hernandez

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (hand) didn't exactly have the best outing in his first minor-league rehab start on Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville, as he allowed four earned runs without allowing a hit while walking three and striking out two in just two-thirds of an inning versus the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. He also hit a batter in the outing, and his velocity was down considerably compared to last year. To be fair, it was Priester's first action in a game since the postseason last October. He was shut down this spring with thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms in his hand/wrist, which landed him on the 15-day injured list to open the 2026 regular season. The Brewers are hoping to see Priester's velocity slowly rise back up with subsequent rehab starts in the minors. The 25-year-old will likely require at least a couple more rehab starts before the Brewers consider him for their starting rotation. Priester is a stash candidate in deeper fantasy leagues after he went 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 132:50 K:BB in 157 1/3 innings in 2025 in his first year in Milwaukee. He's currently rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage's (shoulder) minor-league rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo was expected to be his final appearance while recovering from a right-shoulder impingement that landed him on the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 season. However, he only went 2 1/3 innings and threw 64 pitches in that outing. His fastball sat between 93-96 mph, which was nice, but the Blue Jays wanted him to go at least 75 pitches, meaning it's possible he'll need another rehab start before making his return to Toronto's starting rotation, according to Max Ralph of MLB.com. "I mean, I wish he threw more pitches," manager John Schneider said. "I think physically, he's pretty good. So we'll figure that out in the next couple of days. I don't need to see the 12-strikeout game in the Minors." Fantasy managers must continue to be patient, but Yesavage's high-strikeout upside when healthy makes him a must-stash in all leagues. He's currently rostered in 92% of Yahoo leagues as he nears his 2026 debut.--Keith Hernandez

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (back) has continued to "undergo preventative care" for a lower-back issue that dates back to last year, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Winn dealt with back spasms in 2025 and has already had hip and shin injuries this season. There's no current injury that fantasy managers should be worried about, but it's a situation to monitor, and it could mean that the Cardinals will give Winn more regular days off in the future. Goold mentions that the team is "seeking ways for him to reduce mileage." The 24-year-old former second-rounder in 2020 didn't look great initially to open the 2026 campaign, but he's heating up of late and appears to be locked in at the plate. Overall, Winn is slashing .257/.354/.400 with a .754 OPS, a homer, nine RBI, 11 runs scored, and three steals in 70 at-bats. He's currently riding an eight-game hitting streak in which he's gone 12-for-31 (.387) with a homer, three doubles, a triple, eight RBI, six runs, and a steal. Keep Winn locked into starting lineups where he's rostered.--Keith Hernandez

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that outfielder Roman Anthony (back) will sit out of Thursday's series finale at Fenway Park against the division-rival New York Yankees as the Red Sox look to avoid the sweep, according to Rob Bradford of WEEI. Outfielder Jarren Duran will bat leadoff, and outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela will be in the two-hole in the batting order against Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler. Boston held Anthony out of Wednesday's loss to New York due to a sore back. He's considered day-to-day for now and will miss a second straight game. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to the starting nine in the series opener in Houston against the Astros. The 21-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 has gotten off to a slow start in 2026 in his first full season in the big leagues, going 18-for-80 (.225) with a homer, four RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases. It's too early to be worried about Anthony, and hopefully the time off this week will get him right when he returns to the field.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Angels right-handed reliever Kirby Yates (knee) allowed three earned runs on two hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out one in an inning of work with Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday during a minor-league rehab outing. Yates threw 11 of his 16 pitches for strikes, but the velocity on his fastball was down a bit on Wednesday, and he's likely to need at least a few more appearances down on the farm before the Halos consider reinstating him from the 15-day injured list to make his 2026 season debut. The 39-year-old veteran is a stash candidate for fantasy managers in deeper leagues who are desperate for saves. Yates has 98 saves in his 11-year MLB career, and he's also a two-time All-Star, but he really struggled with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025 and won't be guaranteed regular save opportunities with the Angels when he returns to the major-league roster. Right-hander Jordan Romano is currently the team's primary closer early in the year. Right now, Yates is rostered in just 14% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson recorded a goal and two assists in Wednesday's nail-biting 4-3 double-overtime victory against the Minnesota Wild. In the first period, he scored at even strength and later contributed two power-play assists, one of which set up Wyatt Johnston's game-winner 12:10 into the second overtime. Since last year's Western Conference Finals, Robertson has scored in six consecutive playoff games. He will have a chance to extend his goal streak in Game 4 on Saturday. So far, only seven American players in NHL history have scored in each of the first four games to begin a postseason campaign.--Taavi Pailk

The New York Mets are calling up infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse again on Thursday, sources told Francys Romero. Mauricio has been on fire at Syracuse, hitting .333 with five home runs and a 1.142 OPS in the month of April, and he could see decent playing time in New York if shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) is forced to the injured list after being pulled from Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins early. If Lindor misses extended time, it's unclear if the Mets will want to move third baseman Bo Bichette to shortstop or put Mauricio there. If Bichette slides over to the 6, Mauricio will be a candidate to play at third base as well, alongside Brett Baty. The 25-year-old switch-hitting Dominican has only hit .234/.294/.359 with a .653 OPS, eight homers, 20 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 89 games over three big-league seasons, but Mauricio is worth consideration as a deep-league waiver-wire pickup if he gets an opportunity for everyday playing time with the Mets if Lindor goes on the IL.--Keith Hernandez

Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchane tallied three points in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime victory in Game 3 against the Minnesota Wild. After picking up two points in Game 2, Duchene showed he has not cooled off, collecting two assists in the first period and scoring a 3-3 game-tying goal in the third. Two of his points, including the vital goal midway through the third frame, came on the power play. Duchene's postseason production has been a huge bonus for the Stars. Despite the team's recent deep playoff runs, Duchene hasn't managed more than six points. He could now finish the first round this year with more points than he's had in either of his previous postseason campaigns with the Stars.--Taavi Pailk

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier registered two assists as the team grabbed a commanding 3-0 first-round series lead against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 5-2 win on Wednesday. Philadelphia became the first team in nine years to have four first-time postseason goal-scorers in the same game, but Couturier made sure that the veteran group also made an impact. His assists came in the second period, when the Flyers turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead. The Flyers captain has posted three assists in the first three postseason games, providing offensive creativity while also filling defensive duties against Sidney Crosby. The Penguins superstar has only one assist in the series and no even-strength points.--Taavi Pailk

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jackson LaCombe logged three assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-4 Game 2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. He tied the franchise record for most points by a defenseman in a single playoff game. LaCombe is the fourth Ducks blue-liner with as many as three points in a postseason contest, the first since Sami Vatanen in 2015. The 25-year-old has hit the ground running in his first postseason campaign, recording four assists in two games. Dating back to the regular season, he has finished on the score sheet in five consecutive outings. With Edmonton killing just 40 percent of penalties in the playoffs, LaCombe may keep thriving as the series progresses.--Taavi Pailk

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. handled only 33 touches as a seventh-round rookie in 2025, but he found the field with regularity for what he offered as a pass protector. Among qualified halfbacks, only Denver's Tyler Badie had a better pass blocking grade according to PFF, and it was actually Allen, and not the more highly touted Bhayshul Tuten, who saw the team's second-most total running back snaps behind the recently departed Travis Etienne Jr. Jacksonville signed Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million deal, but he profiles more as a between the tackles plodder whose four targets and three receptions in 2025 both marked career highs. While Rodriguez will have an obvious role on early downs and near the goal line, Etienne's 47 vacated targets will likely be divvied up between Allen and Tuten, and with the former coming into the league with one of the best receiving profiles in a loaded 2025 rookie running back class, it would stand to reason that he can turn the trust he's already earned from his coaches into an expanded role in the passing game. Where things could get interesting is in this week's NFL Draft, where the Jaguars hold 11 picks and could still consider running back a top need. While the position does not profile as a strength of this draft class, Allen's positioning in the room is already tenuous as a late-round pick himself, and any selection at the position could block his path to even the minor breakout some are calling for.--Patrick McGrath

April 23, 2026

University of Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston is expected to be the fifth or sixth wide receiver selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, and given the premium placed on the position, that could come as early as Thursday night. With elite receivers rarely hitting the open market and NFL WR2s making upwards of $20-30 million per year, there is a premium on hitting on the position through the draft. With the fifth year of team control afforded to first-round picks, it's no coincidence that an average of more than five receivers have been selected in the first round since 2020. Boston profiles as a big-bodied possession receiver, an archetype that has seen more misses than hits in recent years, particularly in the range of the draft where he's expected to hear his name called. He is currently falling into the mid-to-late range of the first round in dynasty rookie drafts, with landing spots expected to sort out further the nebulous tier of players going after Jeremiyah Love and the Big Three receivers.--Patrick McGrath

New York Mets relief pitcher Luke Weaver got the call to close out his team's first win after losing 12 straight, and the 32-year-old righty earned the win by closing out the Twins. He came on to get the last out of the eighth inning, walking Ryan Jeffers but then retiring Luke Keashall with the bases loaded. The Mets scratched out a run in the eighth, and Weaver struck out the side in the ninth to preserve the win. He's 2-0 on the year now, despite allowing six runs in 10 innings across his 10 appearances. The Mets have continued to publicly stay committed to closer Devin Williams, but if they were to make a change, Weaver would be an obvious candidate to replace him. Weaver isn't a must-add in most formats yet, but if you need a Williams handcuff or are trying to get ahead of a potential move in deep leagues, he's worth watching as a late-inning option if Williams continues to struggle.--Zach Thompson

Anaheim Ducks winger Alex Killorn was a major factor on special teams in Wednesday's 6-4 Game 2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Munetaka Murakami homered again on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks and has gone yard in five straight contests. The 26-year-old slugger in his first season in the majors is hitting .256 with a .436 wOBA and a 66.7% hard-hit rate through his first 24 games. Murakami has a total of 10 homers on the year with 19 runs scored, 19 RBI, 21 walks, and 32 strikeouts. His power has been a huge boost to the middle of the White Sox lineup, and he has exceeded expectations in his transition from the NPB in Japan. He is definitely worth starting right now for as long as he stays so hot, and it will be fascinating to see if he can maintain this production throughout the season.--Zach Thompson

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid finished pointless for a second consecutive contest in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. A scoring surge late in the season helped the Oilers captain secure his sixth Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's highest scorer, but Anaheim has brilliantly held him in check so far. McDavid has no goals with seven SOG in the series and finished Wednesday's 6-4 loss with a minus-two rating. The superstar forward also had an injury scare in Game 2 when he hurt his ankle, but this isn't expected to bother McDavid in the upcoming games.

Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion may profile as a slot-only player to begin his NFL career, but he has both the size and versatility to play across the formation and the game-breaking ability to reward any coach who gets the ball into his hands. With several receiver-needy teams picking at the tail end of the first round, it seems unlikely he will get through Thursday night of the NFL Draft without hearing his name called, and if paired with the right playcaller, he should waste no time in finding the field in a meaningful way. Concepcion is currently slotting in around pick five through seven in single-quarterback dynasty rookie drafts, and without having to spend a top-of-the-board pick on him, his return on investment could be clear and immediate. Concepcion is RotoBaller's dynasty WR37, but the right landing spot could lead to one of the bigger post-draft spikes in the class.--Patrick McGrath

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Robert Suarez picked up his second save of the season on Wednesday, allowing one hit but only needing eight pitches to preserve his team's 8-6 win over Washington. Suarez is an outstanding short-term option if you need saves since he'll be filling in for the next few weeks while closer Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) is on the injured list. Suarez had 36 and 40 saves in the last two seasons for the Padres, so he's very comfortable in the role and should be a top option for as long as Iglesias is out. He would be the regular closer on many teams, but he was the team's high-leverage setup man before Iglesias' injury. This season, Suarez has given up just one run in 10 2/3 innings this year with a 1.36 FIP and 11 strikeouts.--Zach Thompson

The Swedish blue-liner tore his right ACL in a game against Pittsburgh on April 11. Earlier this week, Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said Sandin's injury will affect the team's offseason plans. After John Carlson was traded to the Anaheim Ducks, Sandin had a larger role late in the season, finishing the campaign with 29 points (five goals, 24 assists), 90 SOG, 127 blocks, and 88 hits in 73 games. Unfortunately, he won't be able to build on it at the start of next season.--Taavi Pailk

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Ryan Walker earned his third save of the season on Wednesday night, issuing a walk but recording three outs to preserve his team's 3-0 victory. Walker seems to be back in the main closer role for the Giants and has picked up two saves in the last two days. On the season, he has worked 11 innings in 11 games with 12 strikeouts and four earned runs allowed for a 3.27 ERA and 3.78 FIP. Walker is the only pitcher on the Giants with more than one save, with Erik Miller and Blade Tidwell also earning a save earlier this year. Miller and Tidwell could cover occasionally, but it seems that Walker has stepped back in as the team's primary closer. While he isn't an elite option, he should be a solid source of saves if you need a bullpen boost.--Zach Thompson

USC wide receiver Makai Lemon is expected to hear his name called early on Thursday's opening night of the NFL Draft, with few pundits anticipating him getting past the New York Jets at pick No. 16. Lemon played over 75% of his collegiate snaps out of the slot, and historically, slot-only receivers to earn that type of early draft capital have not translated cleanly to fantasy. In Lemon's case, though, he plays much bigger than his verified 5'11", 192-pound size, and as a bona fide target-earner, he has the nuance and creativity to both create separation before and add yards after the catch. There is a reason he is most commonly compared to Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown, a player whose fantasy value has grown right alongside his evolving usage. While Carnell Tate comes into the NFL having never been the primary receiver on his own team, and Jordyn Tyson's injury history is extensive, Lemon may have the easiest time overcoming his own perceived flaws, and he has a realistic possibility to emerge as the fantasy receiver to roster from the 2026 draft class.--Patrick McGrath

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Pena is "fine" and recovering after a medical scare on Wednesday night. The top prospect was taken by ambulance to the hospital after overheating in the dugout. The game was stopped and ultimately called in the eighth inning after the emergency, but Pena "Sounds like he's fine according to our docs," according to Brewers GM Matt Arnold. Peña was administered IV fluids and is doing better. The 19-year-old is the No. 2 prospect in the team's system according to MLB Pipeline and is hitting .372 with a home run and six stolen bases in his first 12 games this season for the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. While this was a scary situation and could cost him a few days, it seems as if there will be no long-term effects on Pena's season.--Zach Thompson
