Robby Snelling Being Lined Up to Start on Friday Against Nationals?
Things are lining up for Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville to make his major-league debut on Friday against the division-rival Washington Nationals, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald. The Marlins have an opening in their starting rotation after they designated the struggling Chris Paddack for assignment on Tuesday. Lefty Braxton Garrett is also a candidate to join Miami's rotation, but it looks like the 22-year-old Snelling will get the first crack at it after dominating so far at Triple-A this year. The former first-rounder by the San Diego Padres in 2022 has a sparkling 1.86 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 44 strikeouts and 15 walks in 29 innings across his six starts at Triple-A. Per MLB Pipeline, Snelling is Miami's No. 2 prospect, behind only lefty Thomas White. If Snelling fares well in his MLB debut on Friday, he could stick around in the Fish's rotation for multiple starts. Snelling is only rostered in 16% of Yahoo leagues, so if you need an upside arm, he's definitely worth a pickup.

Sam LaPorta Remains an Intriguing Dynasty Target Post-Injury
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) is working on returning from an injury that sidelined him for the final eight games of the 2025 season. Because of the injury, he finished as the TE27 in PPR leagues, catching a modest 40 passes for 489 yards and just three touchdowns. LaPorta wasn't a major touchdown threat last year, but he was on pace to set a new career-high in receiving yards before the injury. Together, he and Amon-Ra St. Brown stepped up as highly dependable targets for quarterback Jared Goff. While this is a crowded offense, the Lions have shown that they can make it work. Goff is capable of supporting big years from all of LaPorta, St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs. As a result, as long as he's healthy in 2026, we expect a big bounce-back year from LaPorta. He's the TE6 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and dynasty managers can get him at a discount because he's coming off an injury.

Vikings Request to Interview Terrance Gray for GM Job
The Minnesota Vikings have requested to interview Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Terrance Gray for their GM job, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Gray spent 11 seasons with the Vikings as a college scout before joining the Bills in 2017. The Vikings are taking their time in searching for a new GM after they surprisingly fired Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in January. Executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski has taken over the interim GM duties and has planned a full search for a new GM now that the 2026 NFL draft is in the rearview mirror. In addition to the Bills, Gray has worked for the Kansas City Chiefs during his time in the NFL. Depending on how the team's search goes, Brzezinski could be a candidate to take on the job on a more permanent basis.

Kenneth Walker III Could be More Involved as Pass-Catcher With Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III suggested on Up & Adams that he could be used more as a receiver with his new team in 2026. The MVP of Super Bowl LX while with the Seattle Seahawks has been spending time with quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) this offseason and is preparing for an expanded role as a pass-catching RB. "We've been working on getting connected in the passing game and everything, so that's good," Walker told Kay Adams. "I feel like I'll be used more in the pass game." Walker averaged fewer than 40 catches and 300 yards receiving per season over his four years with the Seahawks. He was most involved as a pass-catcher in 2024, catching 46 passes on 53 targets, but it came with just 299 receiving yards, and he has only two receiving scores in his career. In the last five years, the Chiefs have featured three different RBs with at least 40 catches in a season, and in two of those seasons, Eric Bieniemy was the offensive coordinator. The move to KC is a definite boost for Walker's fantasy value in redraft and dynasty leagues, and RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 10 overall RB for the 2026 season.

Jacob Misiorowski Listed as Friday's Probable Starter
The Milwaukee Brewers have listed right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) as their probable starter for Friday's series opener against the New York Yankees, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The Brewers pulled the hard-throwing youngster early from his last outing on Friday against the Washington Nationals as a precaution with a hamstring cramp, but he has responded well this week and looks ready to roll to kick off the weekend against the visiting Yankees. The Miz most likely would have taken the mound on Wednesday, but a rainout between the Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday has pushed the team's starting rotation back a day, and Milwaukee has a scheduled day off on Thursday. Although the matchup against New York isn't ideal, Misiorowski has become a must-start in traditional fantasy baseball leagues. The 24-year-old former second-rounder leads the league with a 14.0 K/9 and is sporting a nice 2.84 ERA (2.99 FIP) and 1.00 WHIP with 59 punchouts and 15 walks in 38 innings across his first seven starts of 2026.

Bryce Harper Clubs Two Home Runs, Stays Locked in at the Plate
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper led the team in their 9-1 win over the visiting Athletics at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday night. Harper finished the contest 3-for-4 at the plate with two long balls, three RBI, three runs scored, and a walk to raise his season average to .286 and his OPS to .948 in the process. The 33-year-old All-Star's first homer came in the third inning off starter Luis Severino, before taking reliever Tyler Ferguson deep in the eighth frame. The eight-time All-Star, two-time MVP, and four-time Silver Slugger winner is seeing the ball extremely well right now in early May, as he's gone 8-for-19 (.421) with three home runs, three doubles, four RBI, six runs scored, and a stolen base in five games so far this month. Harper now has back-to-back three-hit performances and is as locked in as they come. Keep riding his bat while it lasts. Overall in 2026, Harper is slashing .286/.377/.571 with a .948 OPS, nine homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 133 at-bats.

Cristopher Sanchez Dominates A's, Punches Out 10 on Tuesday
Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez was on his game in Tuesday's 9-1 beatdown of the Athletics at Citizens Bank Park, throwing eight shutout innings with three hits allowed, one walk, and 10 strikeouts to win his third game of the 2026 season. The 29-year-old southpaw threw 69 of his 97 pitches for strikes and got 22 whiffs during his best performance of the year and his fifth quality start. Sanchez is now 3-2 over his eight starts with a 2.42 ERA (2.40 FIP), a 1.34 WHIP, and a 60:14 K:BB in 48 1/3 innings pitched. His 60 strikeouts lead the league, and he has allowed more than two runs in an outing only once in his eight starts. Sanchez is a must-start in traditional fantasy leagues whenever he's on the mound, and that will be especially true when he makes his next scheduled start at home against the last-place Colorado Rockies this weekend.

Grant Holmes Being Skipped on Wednesday
Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes' spot in the starting rotation is being skipped on Wednesday in the matchup on the road in Seattle against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park, with veteran left-hander Martin Perez getting the nod in the series finale. It doesn't mean that Holmes is heading to the bullpen, though, and he could make his next start this weekend in L.A. in an even tougher matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Holmes isn't injured, but the Braves might want to give him a little extra rest before his next outing after he failed to get into the sixth inning in three of his last four starts. The 30-year-old former 22nd overall pick by the Dodgers in 2014 has struggled mightily of late to raise his season ERA to 4.34 and his WHIP to 1.31 in seven starts across 37 1/3 innings pitched. Holmes has fanned 29 and walked 17. If he does make his next start against the Dodgers this weekend on the road, fantasy managers should be looking to bench him.

Logan Webb Dealing With Knee Discomfort
San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello said that right-hander Logan Webb (knee) dealt with knee discomfort during his rough outing in a loss on Tuesday night against the division-rival San Diego Padres, according to Justice delos Santos of MLB.com. Vitello said he doesn't think Webb's knee injury is serious, but it wasn't worth pushing after a long fourth inning. Although Webb's injury might not be serious enough to send him to the injured list, he could have to be skipped in the starting rotation, depending on how he feels over the next couple of days. The veteran right-hander took his fourth loss of the year to the Padres on Tuesday, allowing six earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out four. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star has not been the pitcher that fantasy managers thought they were getting, as he now holds a 5.06 ERA (3.60 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and 15 walks in 48 innings. Webb leads the league in hits allowed (52) and earned runs allowed (27).

Carlos Correa Expected to Miss Significant Time With Ankle Injury
Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa (ankle) suffered a significant injury to his left ankle during pre-game batting practice on Tuesday and could be out for weeks or months while he recovers, a source told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Correa is scheduled to meet with a foot specialist on Wednesday morning, but the expectation is that he will be sidelined indefinitely. The veteran infielder, who has been playing shortstop of late with Jeremy Pena (hamstring) on the injured list, went 0-for-4 on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and is hitting .279/.369/.418 with three home runs and 16 RBI on the season for the Astros. With Pena still out, Correa's injury is a big blow for a struggling Houston team. He'll be the fourth member of the team's Opening Day lineup to land on the IL, joining Pena, catcher Yainer Diaz (oblique), outfielder Joey Loperfido (quadriceps), and outfielder Jake Meyers (oblique). Until Pena is able to return to shortstop, Nick Allen, who got the start at the 6 in Tuesday's win, will likely take over at shortstop for the Astros.

Collin Morikawa Withdraws From Truist Championship
Collin Morikawa has withdrawn from the Truist Championship, though no specific reason has been given. Despite dealing with injuries this season, including a back issue that forced him to withdraw from THE PLAYERS in March, Morikawa had been in strong form, recording five finishes of T7 or better in his previous six starts before a T62 last week at the Cadillac Championship. With his withdrawal, Andrew Putnam enters the field as the first alternate.

Janson Junk Emerging as Top Waiver-Wire Target After Another Strong Showing
Miami Marlins right-hander Janson Junk continued his strong stretch on Monday, allowing one run across 5 1/3 innings while giving up five hits and one walk with four strikeouts. Junk now holds a 2.82 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through seven starts this season. He has consistently filled the strike zone, which has helped him work deeper into games while keeping his pitch count under control. In his second season with Miami, Junk is showing clear improvement and reliability. His recent performance points to continued success, making him a priority target for fantasy managers in need of pitching help.

Is Jakobi Meyers the Most Mispriced Jaguars Receiver in Dynasty Leagues?
Following a 2025 mid-season trade that brought him to Jacksonville, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was a key piece in unlocking quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offense as a whole. After playing on only 27 total snaps in his first game with the team, Meyers averaged seven targets and 4.9 receptions from Week 11 onward, finishing as the fantasy WR17 across that stretch. With a full offseason in Liam Coen's offense, Meyers is expected to take another step forward, but the crowded receiver room in Jacksonville could ultimately limit his ceiling. Even with Travis Hunter reported to see limited offensive reps in year two, Meyers still shares a room with 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington, who finished as the WR11 over the final 10 weeks of the year. Heading into his eighth season, the 29-year-old Meyers is RotoBaller's dynasty WR40, which could be viewed as a slight mispricing with the 24-year-old Washington slotting in several spots below him at WR49 and Thomas only up at WR27, just two seasons removed from his WR4 finish as a rookie. For contending dynasty managers, Meyers is a solid hold who can provide reliable weekly fantasy floors, but for those seeking more upside, Thomas and Washington may represent the more attractive swings at their currently depressed values.

Xander Schauffele Carries Elite Form Into Quail Hollow
Xander Schauffele has been putting together an impressive run lately, with finishes of third, T4, T9, and T12 in his last four starts. He now heads to the Truist Championship, being held at Quail Hollow, a course where he's already come extremely close, finishing solo second twice in his last three appearances. Success here usually comes down to driving distance, approach play, and short game, and Schauffele checks every box. He ranks 19th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.493 per round), 11th on approach (+0.623), 42nd in putting (+0.284), and 26th in driving distance. This setup fits him well, and with his form and course history, he presents as a winning-potential play at $10,000 on DraftKings.

How Much Growth Can be Expected of Jayden Higgins in Year 2?
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins showed flashes as a second-round rookie in 2025, but his path to a Year 2 leap could come with struggles along the way. The biggest obstacle could be the quarterback play of C.J. Stroud, who has regressed each year since his historic rookie campaign in 2023. The Texans have invested heavily in the offensive line, which should have a ripple effect on Stroud and the offense as a whole, but Higgins will still need to carve out a meaningful role to find dynasty staying power. Higgins scored two touchdowns in the three games missed by two-time Pro Bowler Nico Collins, and with the two both profiling as prototypical X-receivers, Higgins may not always find the field in two-receiver sets. With fellow second-year Cyclone Jaylin Noel expected to inherit Christian Kirk's role out of the slot, Higgins could find himself in a rotation with Tank Dell, who is on track to return from the 2024 knee injury that cost him the entire 2025 season. Higgins has the traits to become a consistent fantasy producer, but dynasty managers may be underwhelmed by the opportunities he sees in his second season, and at RotoBaller's WR44, he merely remains a hold until he proves he can overcome the situation.

Justin Thomas Searching for Consistency at Quail Hollow
Since returning from injury, Justin Thomas has been all over the map, with one top-10, one missed cut, and four other finishes ranging from T23 to T77. He'll look to find some consistency at the Truist Championship, being held at Quail Hollow. His history at this course is solid, including a win at the 2017 PGA Championship and four other top-25 finishes. Success here typically comes down to driving distance, approach play, and short game. Thomas ranks just 92nd off the tee (-0.036 per round), 103rd on approach (-0.142), and 152nd in putting (-0.605), though he has been solid around the green (22nd) and is 49th in driving distance. Despite the poor profile, this sets up as a potential get-right spot for Thomas. At $7,600 on DraftKings, his history and name will likely make him a popular option in this range, but he comes with plenty of volatility.

Abner Uribe Entering Must-Roster Status as Brewers Primary Closer?
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Abner Uribe is quickly taking control of the ninth inning and is a must-roster option as he continues to build momentum. Uribe has recorded three saves with a 3.65 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, while other late-inning option Trevor Megill has struggled to a 6.00 ERA. Uribe's 28 percent strikeout rate supports his ability to succeed in high-leverage situations. This is his fourth season with Milwaukee, and he looks more comfortable than ever in late-game spots. The closer role is trending in his direction, and fantasy managers should act before it is fully locked in.

Jordan Spieth Looks to Break Through at Quail Hollow
Jordan Spieth has put together a solid season, but still hasn't been able to crack the top 10, with six top-25 finishes and a best result of T11. He'll look to change that at the Truist Championship, being held at Quail Hollow. His history at this course isn't great, with two missed cuts and a best result of T28 at the 2017 PGA Championship. Success at this course typically comes down to driving distance, approach play, and short game. Spieth ranks just 95th off the tee (-0.049 per round), but sits 45th on approach (+0.226), 29th in putting (+0.415), and 40th in driving distance. At $8,000 on DraftKings, his profile offers a solid return on investment, but he'll need to keep it in play off the tee if he wants to contend this week.

Astros Turn to Bryan King for Another Save, Settling in as the Top Closer?
Houston Astros left-hander Bryan King appears to be solidifying his role as the top ninth-inning option with Josh Hader on the 60-day IL. Bryan King picked up his third save of the season on Tuesday, tossing two innings of one-run ball to secure the win. This performance marks two saves in his last two appearances for the 29-year-old, who is now tied for the team lead in saves. His season metrics include a 3.45 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. Now in his third season in the majors, his career 2.78 ERA positions him well for high-leverage situations. Expect the Astros to lean on him as their go-to arm for save opportunities moving forward.

D'Andre Swift an Underrated Dynasty Buy for Contending Managers
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has finished as the RB23 or better in each of his six seasons in the league, most recently turning in a career-best RB15 finish in 2025. Entering his second season in Ben Johnson's Bears offense, RotoBaller's dynasty RB26 represents an affordable RB2 who may not always look pretty, but consistently returns value. Johnson has modeled his offense in Chicago after the one he ran so successfully in Detroit. With Swift handling the role he first held with the Lions before it was perfected by Jahmyr Gibbs, he should continue to offer a reliable floor even with 2025 seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai proving capable of handling the David Montgomery role as a rookie. Quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears offense as a whole are expected to take another step forward in year two under Johnson, which could lead to more scoring opportunities for both backs. At 27 years old, Swift should still have plenty of good football ahead of him, making him a smart dynasty buy who could realistically help to extend the window for contending managers.

Adam Scott Brings Strong Form to Quail Hollow
Adam Scott carded a bogey-free 64 in his final round at the Cadillac Championship, jumping up to a T4 finish at Doral. He now looks to carry that into the Truist Championship, being held at Quail Hollow. Scott has recorded seven top-25 finishes in 13 starts at this venue. Success here typically hinges on driving distance, approach play, and short game, areas where Scott has been great. He ranks first on approach (+1.009 per round), 16th in driving distance, and 50th off the tee (+0.230). The only real concern is the putter, where he has lost more than 1.9 strokes in four straight events. Even with that, Scott is in great form and still profiles as an elite option at $8,900 on DraftKings.

A Role Change Could Be Key to Salvaging Woody Marks' Dynasty Value
The long-term dynasty success of Houston Texans running back Woody Marks will likely come down to his role in the passing game. As a rookie in 2025, Marks caught only 24 passes despite coming into the league as one of the most prolific receiving backs in college football history. With eight-year veteran Nick Chubb offering little in the running game, Marks was forced into a lead-back role for much of the season, but the fourth-round pick was not overly efficient on the ground, averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. With the Texans sending fourth and seventh-round picks to acquire David Montgomery, the former Lion and Bear is expected to handle the bulk of early-down, between-the-tackles work for Houston. The Texans have a recent history of turning the backfield over to a fourth-round rookie, with Dameon Pierce picking up 939 yards on 220 carries in 2022, only to drop off the fantasy map in later seasons. For Marks to have any dynasty staying power, he will need to lean on his obvious pass-catching abilities to carve out a meaningful change-of-pace role.

Graham Ashcraft Worth Stashing In Reds Bullpen After Major Injury?
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft may be a worthy stash after go-to closer Emilio Pagan suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday's game. Late-inning opportunities should increase across the Reds bullpen, and the elite 1.02 ERA of Ashcraft poises him to be the next man up in leverage situations. After making a major jump across 62 games last year with an ERA under 4.00, Ashcraft appears to have taken a step forward as he continues to dominate late in games. He already has one save in two opportunities this season. This usage suggests the Reds may turn to him frequently while their primary closer remains sidelined.

A.J. Ewing Emerging as Elite Stash Option in Week 6
New York Mets infield/outfield prospect A.J. Ewing has emerged as an elite stash option in Week 6 of the fantasy baseball season. Ewing is currently ranked as the No. 85 overall prospect in the sport and the No. 3-ranked prospect in the Mets system, according to MLB.com. He began the 2026 campaign with Double-A Binghamton, where he posted an incredible .349/.481/.571 line with six doubles, two home runs, and 12 stolen bases. This dominant start earned him a ticket to Triple-A Syracuse, where Ewing has continued to swing a scorching-hot bat. Over his first seven games at the top level of the system, Ewing has posted an eye-catching .440/.500/.560 line with one double, one triple, and four stolen bases. Given that Ewing has swiped 16 bags in 25 games this season, he should be viewed as a priority stash target for those needing speed. If he continues this pace, he could arrive in Queens before the All-Star break.

Robert MacIntyre a Steady Option at Truist Championship
Robert MacIntyre did not have his best stuff at the Cadillac Championship, losing more than 5.9 strokes on approach and finishing T42. This was his sixth event in his last eight where he has lost strokes on approach, and he now ranks 136th on Tour in that category (-0.410 per round). There's a clear pattern with MacIntyre, as his three top-five finishes this season have all come when he's gained strokes across the board, something he'll try to replicate at Quail Hollow. This course rewards strong driving and short-game play, areas where he excels, ranking eighth off the tee (+0.613), 103rd in driving distance, and fourth in putting (+0.832). At $9,300 on DraftKings, iron issues could limit his upside, but his elite off-the-tee play and putting provide a safe floor for fantasy managers.

Is Jonah Tong Nearing a Return to the Major Leagues?
New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong appears to be nearing a return to the major leagues, given the current state of their rotation. Last week, the Mets shifted right-hander Kodai Senga to the 15-day injured list, and David Peterson has struggled in a long relief role, allowing 24 earned runs over his last 29 frames. While Tong was unable to claim a role in the Opening Day rotation, the young right-hander could contend for a return in the near future. Tong opened the season with Triple-A Syracuse and has struggled to find consistency, posting a modest 4.60 ERA over 31 1/3 innings. However, his ratios have been skewed by two rough outings that saw him surrender five and six earned runs, respectively. Last summer, Tong was dominant in the upper minor leagues, holding a 1.50 ERA with a 179:47 K:BB over 113 2/3 innings. If Tong can return to this form, he should be in the mix to earn a promotion in the near future, given the minimal competition for a spot at the back-end of the rotation.
