Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed reliever Tanner Scott should at least be part of a closer-by-committee approach for the team moving forward now that right-handed closer Edwin Diaz (elbow) is expected to miss at least three months while needing surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. In addition to Scott, fellow lefty Alex Vesia and righty Blake Treinen could be used in save situations for the foreseeable future by manager Dave Roberts. The 31-year-old Scott was an All-Star for the first time in his career in 2024 with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres, but that was followed by a rough 2025 campaign in his first year with the Blue. Scott did have a career-high 23 saves last year, but he also struggled to a 1-4 record, 4.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 60:18 K:BB in 57 innings pitched over 61 appearances. He has turned things around so far in 2026, allowing just an earned run with no walks and eight punchouts in 8 2/3 frames. Now that Scott is back in a position to pick up saves, his ownership in fantasy leagues should increase. Scott is currently only rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

MLB Network's Jon Morosi mentions that Philadelphia Phillies left-handed reliever Tim Mayza has been excellent so far this year when discussing the direction that the team might go at the back end of the bullpen with star closer Jhoan Duran (oblique) expected to be out two to three weeks with an oblique injury. Right-hander Brad Keller is "probably" going to be the guy that gets the next save chance in Philly, but Mayza, Jose Alvarado, and Orion Kerkering could end up forming some sort of committee for manager Rob Thomson. Mayza could get the nod if it's a lefty-heavy inning for the opponent in the ninth inning. The 34-year-old veteran only has four saves in his big-league career in eight-plus seasons, but he currently has a 3.00 ERA with 12 strikeouts and four walks in 12 relief innings pitched in 2026. In deeper fantasy leagues where managers are desperate for saves, they may want to consider a waiver-wire pickup of Mayza in the short term.--Keith Hernandez

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that right-handed reliever Edwin Uceta (shoulder) has a right-shoulder strain, which is a new injury from the discomfort that initially landed him on the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 regular season, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Uceta will be shut down from throwing for two to three weeks and will then have to build back up, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to make his season debut for the Rays for a while. It's a tough break for those who have been stashing the 28-year-old in fantasy leagues in hopes that he'll become the team's primary closer when he's fully healthy. In a best-case scenario, Uceta may not rejoin Tampa's bullpen until mid-to-late May. He's still worth holding onto in fantasy leagues, though, if you have an available IL spot. Uceta has been pretty solid for the Rays the last two seasons and was one of only five relievers in 2025 to have over 100 strikeouts. Until further notice, Bryan Baker is the reliever to roster for saves in Tampa.--Keith Hernandez

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Charle-Edouard D'Astous (undisclosed) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Montreal Canadiens, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He was injured in Sunday's series opener and didn't practice on Monday. According to Lightning head Jon Cooper, Maxwell Crozier and Declan Carlile are in contention to fill in for D'Astous in Tuesday's game. Carlile skated with D'Astous's partner Emil Lilleberg on Monday. Tuesday's game would be Carlile's Stanley Cup Playoffs debut. He appeared in 42 games during the regular season but didn't do much from a fantasy perspective. Carlile recorded three points (one goal, two assists), 33 SOG, 38 blocks, and 51 hits.--Taavi Pailk

According to Jon Morosi of the MLB Network, Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller is projected to receive the first save situation in the current bullpen. The Phillies have several relievers on the injured list, with primary closer Jhoan Duran (oblique) being the most notable name. Through the early going in the regular season, Keller has operated as the top setup man, tallying four saves over his first eight appearances while posting a 4.70 ERA with an 8:2 K:BB. On April 18, Keller was deployed in the ninth inning (in a non-save situation), which suggests the Phillies trust him in the final frame. Last summer, Keller was a reliable setup option for the Cubs, earning 26 holds and chipping in three saves with a strong 2.07 ERA. He should be viewed as a top option for saves on the waiver wire ahead of Week 4.--Andy Smith

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (lower body) will be unavailable for at least two more games, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports. He will sit out Monday's Game 2 against the Minnesota Wild and isn't expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's Game 3 either. Hintz last played on March 6 and isn't even skating on his own yet, which suggests he isn't close to returning. In Hintz's absence, Justin Hryckowian has gotten an opportunity on the first line at the start of the postseason. In Game 1, Hryckowian failed to register any attempts on the net but led his team with six hits in 13:00 of ice time.--Taavi Pailk

The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed closer Edwin Diaz (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with loose bodies in his right elbow. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers are promoting Jake Eder from Oklahoma City. Diaz was dealing with velocity concerns over the past two weeks and will now miss at least the next 15 days on the injured list. In his most recent outing on Sunday, Diaz failed to record an out as he surrendered three hits, three runs, and a walk to the Colorado Rockies. In this appearance, Diaz's fastball sat at 95.4 mph compared to the 97.3 mph it averaged last summer. While Diaz was enjoying a strong start to his Dodger career, earning four saves over his first five appearances with a 1.80 ERA, the right-hander is now in serious danger of missing extended time. While he remains sidelined, Alex Vesia and Tanner Scott figure to see the bulk of the save opportunities, with Vesia projected to operate as the lead option, given his recent usage.--Andy Smith

Anaheim Ducks left wing Ross Johnston (lower body) isn't available for Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports. Due to a lower-body injury, Johnston hasn't seen any action for close to six weeks. He was initially ruled out for 2-4 weeks. While Johnston's recovery has taken longer than expected, Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville believes he will play against Edmonton at some point during the first-round series. Johnston's return would beef up the Ducks' lineup, as he registered a team-high 192 hits in the regular season. Offensively, he contributed three goals and 11 assists in 64 games.--Taavi Pailk

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The versatile blue-liner sustained an undisclosed injury in the series opener on Saturday, and it's unclear whether he will feel well enough to play. Following the morning skate, Senators head coach Travis Green told reporters that Zub's availability will be determined after the pregame warmups.

Ottawa Senators defenseman Tyler Kleven (upper body) won't play in Monday's Game 2 against the Carolina Hurricanes. He has been out for eight straight games after taking a puck to the face in a contest against Buffalo on April 2. The encouraging news for Ottawa is that Kleven skated wearing a regular jersey on Monday morning. This suggests he will be an option later in the series. In the meantime, Dennis Gilbert will skate on the third defensive pairing. He logged 8:26 of action in Game 1, recording one block, four hits, and four penalty minutes.--Taavi Pailk

Edmonton Oilers center Jason Dickinson (leg) is a game-time decision for Monday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. The 30-year-old sustained a leg injury late in the regular season and has missed three games. However, Dickinson was cleared for practice on Sunday and appears likely to return Monday night. If he's ready, Dickinson is expected to skate on the third line alongside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jack Roslovic. That line could find offensive success in a situation where the Ducks' defense must focus much of its attention on stopping Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (lower-body). Dickinson has recorded nine points (five goals, four assists) in 40 career playoff appearances.--Taavi Pailk

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (lower body) is expected to return to action on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. On Monday morning, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Draisaitl was a game-time call. The star forward has been out for 14 games with a lower-body injury. But he looks good to go for Game 1 against the Ducks after the team activated Draisaitl from long-term Injured Reserve ahead of Monday's contest. Draisaitl's return to the lineup will be a major boost for the Oilers, as he's averaged 1.47 points per game in 96 career postseason appearances -- only four players have a higher scoring rate in Stanley Cup Playoffs history.--Taavi Pailk

Chicago Cubs catcher/designated hitter Moises Ballesteros is impressing in the early part of 2026, showing why his hit tool was so highly regarded before joining the big leagues. The Cubs' former top prospect has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, with five multi-hit performances mixed in there. It has raised the left-handed slugger's season-long slash line to .364/.396/.591 with three home runs, a .429 wOBA, and a 174 wRC+. Unfortunately, the 5-foot-8 Venezuelan continues to get pulled against left-handed pitching, logging just three plate appearances against southpaws in 2026, which is going to dampen his appeal in season-long leagues and more so in daily formats. Nevertheless, he's 16-for-41 (.390) against righties, so if he can earn more at-bats with his exceptional hitting, the 22-year-old could see an increase in categorical productivity. He may not be a must-add yet, but Ballesteros is certainly a must-watch in the event he gains more at-bats.--Jarod Rupp

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers has had a promising yet inconsistent start to the season, allowing a combined eight runs in two starts but just one earned run combined in the other two starts, including a nine-strikeout performance against the Yankees in his latest turn through the rotation. It has produced an acceptable 3.57 ERA (3.40 xFIP) with a 1.06 WHIP and a strong 21.3 percent K-BB%. A solid ERA and WHIP with strikeout upside is exactly what fantasy managers were hoping for after the southpaw finished last season with a 2.19 ERA (2.77 SIERA), 1.11 WHIP, and a 23.9 percent K-BB% from May 9 through the end of the campaign (49 appearances, 49 1/3 innings pitched). Those innings were in relief, though, so it was interesting to see if it would carry over to his role as a starter this season, and it appears to have continued. As a starter back in 2022, the former first-rounder threw a no-hitter, so the talent has always been there; he just needed to find it again. The 26-year-old will have his work cut out for him in his next start, a home date with Toronto on Monday, a team that owns the eighth-best batting average against lefties this year (.262). But for interested season-long managers, he's still available in nearly half of Yahoo! leagues.--Jarod Rupp

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan lasted just 4 1/3 innings in his latest start on Sunday, allowing four earned runs on eight hits while striking out five batters in a 6-3 loss to the Pirates. On the bright side, the lefty threw 72 percent of his pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter, something that plagued him in his first three starts, where he walked 11 hitters. In all, the 28-year-old has posted a 5.00 ERA (4.48 xFIP), 1.33 WHIP, and an 8.8 percent K-BB%. It's a far cry from the 3.02 ERA (3.15 xFIP), 1.10 WHIP, and 20.9 percent K-BB% that he recorded in 74 starts from 2021 to 2023. The former 31st-overall draft pick dealt with Tommy John surgery that disrupted his 2023 season and caused him to miss all of 2024, then encountered a setback with a nerve issue that completely derailed 2025, so there could still be more rust to knock off. However, a couple more subpar starts and he may be headed to the cut list for fantasy. The 6-foot-3 hurler will get Minnesota at home his next time out, a team that is top 12 in runs scored per game (5.09), wOBA versus LHP (.327), and wRC+ versus LHP (107).--Jarod Rupp

Kansas City Royals closer Lucas Erceg had converted five straight save chances before his last appearance on Thursday this past week, when he allowed three earned runs on three hits and one walk, blowing the save opportunity and taking the loss to the Tigers. Before that, the right-hander had not allowed a run in six of seven appearances, but after Thursday's collapse, his ERA now stands at 6.14 with a 1.50 WHIP and a 6.7 percent K-BB%. The 30-year-old has pitched well for the Royals over the last two years, but saw a significant drop-off in strikeout rate between 2024 and 2025, from 28.5 percent to 19.3 percent. It has fallen even more this season, currently standing at 16.7 percent. Fantasy managers won't argue with collecting five saves so far, but with diminishing strikeouts and regular closer Carlos Estevez (foot) beginning a rehab assignment this week, Erceg's handle on the role is becoming somewhat tenuous.--Jarod Rupp

Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing won the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Reddick started the race from first and was one of the top contenders. In the first stage, Reddick lost the lead to Denny Hamlin after four laps and then eventually lost second place to Kyle Larson. Reddick ended the first stage in third and scored eight stage points. In the second stage, Reddick made it up to second behind Larson, who took the lead from Hamlin, but Hamlin then took second back. Reddick then finished the stage in third, earning eight more stage points. The final stage saw Reddick compete with Hamlin and Christopher Bell throughout the stage, especially as Reddick chased both drivers down for the lead. In the closing laps, Reddick exchanged the lead with Hamlin until a caution on lap 266 for Cody Ware spinning. This led to an overtime restart where Reddick lost a few positions after getting moved off track, but regained them all to chase down Larson on the final lap. Reddick passed Larson for his fifth win of the year in the final two corners. With his second Kansas victory, Reddick becomes the first driver to win five of the first nine races in a Cup season since 1987, when Dale Earnhardt accomplished the feat. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota also extends his lead in the regular-season points standings to 105 points ahead of Hamlin.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports nearly ended his 32-race winless streak at Kansas Speedway in the AdventHealth 400, but fell one spot short of victory. Larson started the race from fourth and quickly established himself as one of the top contenders. Although he lost a position to Carson Hocevar early, Larson regained it and climbed up to second, where he also placed at the end of the first stage. In the second stage, Larson took over the lead from Denny Hamlin and dominated the second stage without much of a challenge, winning it and earning 10 more stage points. The No. 5 Chevrolet driver lost positions in the stage break through pit road, and on the ensuing restart, fell out of the top five. Through green flag pit stops midway through the final stage, Larson returned to the top five and made it up to third before the final caution of the race on lap 266 gave Larson another chance at the win. On the final restart, Larson made a move to go three-wide on Hamlin and Tyler Reddick and took the lead from both of them. Larson led on the white flag lap, but Reddick caught back up to him and passed him through the final two corners for the win, leaving Larson with a runner-up finish at Kansas. After Kansas, Larson is now fifth in the regular-season standings with his third top-5 of the season.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Chase Briscoe finished in third place in the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Briscoe began the race from fifth place and ran inside the top five throughout most of the stage until green flag pit stops midway through the first stage. From there, he ended up losing positions and finished the first stage in seventh, collecting four stage points. In the second stage, Briscoe fell away from the top 10 and finished the stage in 11th, missing out on further stage points. In the final stage, Briscoe returned to the top 10 and steadily ran there until the final caution on lap 266, sending the race into overtime. Unlike most of the field who pitted with two tires on the final pit stop, Briscoe pitted with four tires and restarted 10th. On the final restart, Briscoe took advantage of the extra grip and went from 10th to third by the checkered flag, solidifying a new career-best finish as well as his third top-5 in his Cup career at Kansas. With this finish, Briscoe is now 15th in the regular season standings and in the chase field.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Denny Hamlin was the most dominant driver of the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, leading 131 total laps, but he was unable to score the victory late in the race. Hamlin began the race from second and quickly took the lead after four laps from Tyler Reddick. He went on to dominate the rest of the first stage and win it. In the second stage, Hamlin lost the lead to Kyle Larson and other positions to Chase Elliott and Reddick, but eventually regained them as the stage progressed by passing them on track. Hamlin couldn't overtake Larson, though, in the second stage, and he ended it in second, gaining nine further stage points. In the final stage, Denny Hamlin ran second behind Christopher Bell before cycling back to the lead through green flag pit stops. He was set to win the race until Cody Ware spun his car before Hamlin caught the white flag, forcing one more pit stop and restart. Although Hamlin tried to keep the lead, Larson got to the side of Hamlin and moved him up the track, causing Hamlin to fall out of contention for the win. The No. 11 Toyota driver went back up and finished in fourth place, earning another top-5 finish at Kansas. Hamlin now sits second in the regular-season standings, 105 points behind Reddick. --Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell finished 20th despite being one of the main contenders for the victory in Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. Bell began the race from 11th, but moved up through the field as the first stage progressed. He ended the first stage in fifth, scoring six stage points. The second stage saw Bell continue to run inside the top five through most of the stage without incident. Bell ended the second stage in fifth and earned six more stage points. Between the second and final stage, Bell went to pit road and gained positions, restarting the final stage in second. From there, Bell took the lead from his teammate Denny Hamlin and led 47 laps before heading to pit road. Bell stayed out on track longer than Hamlin and Tyler Reddick, and lost the lead after his pit stop while Hamlin and Reddick passed Bell with fresher tires. Bell ran inside the top five from there until the final restart when he competed for the win, but got into the wall after contact with Reddick, causing the car to lose speed, spin out on pit road, and fall back to his eventual finishing position of 20th. This crash ended a streak of five consecutive Kansas races with a top-10 finish, and the No. 20 Toyota driver is now 10th in the regular season standings after nine races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans struggled mightily in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Yankees, allowing seven earned runs while serving up three home runs for the second time this season and also walking a career-high eight batters in just 4 1/3 innings pitched. The southpaw managed to strike out six batters as well, but threw only 51 percent of his pitches for strikes (49 of 97). It has been a rough start to the season for the 28-year-old, now the owner of a 6.00 ERA (5.30 xFIP), 1.67 WHIP, and a lowly 4.3 percent K-BB%. The former All-Star dealt with injuries in 2025 that limited him to just 13 starts, including a rotator cuff injury that sidelined him for three months. Hopefully it is not related, but his fastball velocity is down almost a full mile per hour this season, and he's seen a significant drop-off in both chase and whiff rates (from 68th and 95th percentile, respectively, to 17th and 58th percentile). The 6-foot-4 hurler will be hard to trust his next time out against a much-improved Angels offense that is top 10 in runs per game (5.0), wOBA versus LHP (.341), and wRC+ (116) versus LHP. With Ragans' potential, he may not be a drop yet, but managers could justify sitting him until the lefty rights the ship.--Jarod Rupp

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Payton Tolle potentially became even more fantasy relevant after Boston starter Sonny Gray (hamstring) was removed from his outing on Monday against the Tigers in the third inning with what is being described as right hamstring tightness. Tolle hasn't pitched for Triple-A Worcester since April 12, so he could be fresh and is already on the 40-man roster. Boston's top-ranked prospect debuted with the club in August last year and was fairly solid outside of one poor outing, racking up 19 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched (IP) both as a starter and a reliever. The southpaw had a hiccup in his first outing at Triple-A this year, but has shone over his last two turns, allowing just one earned run on seven hits and two walks while striking out 13 batters in 11 IP. The 23-year-old's strikeout upside already made him a worthy stash candidate in most formats, but with the likelihood of a call-up now much higher, the time is now to grab him off the waiver wire.--Jarod Rupp

Texas A&M wide receiver K.C. Concepcion is considered to be one of the better prospects at his position in the 2026 draft class and has a chance to hear his name called as early as the end of the first round later this week. Across 13 games for the Aggies in 2025, the 21-year-old recorded 61 receptions for 919 yards and nine touchdowns. Concepcion is known as an elusive route-runner in the short and intermediate areas of the field who is difficult to tackle in open space. However, he's undersized at 5'11" and 196 lbs., which leads to some questions about his ability to produce at the catch point in the NFL. Still, Concepcion's strengths make him an intriguing dynasty prospect. Depending on where he ends up being drafted, Concepcion could make an immediate impact in the NFL and offers some long-term upside as well. RotoBaller currently ranks Concepcion as the fifth-best wide receiver in the first-year player pool.--Will Brady

Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is considered one of the top tight ends in the 2026 draft class and should come off the board at some point on Day 2 of the upcoming 2026 draft. Across 12 games for the Commodores in 2025, the 23-year-old recorded 62 receptions for 769 yards and four touchdowns. With a 45.5" vertical jump, Stowers also profiles as an elite athlete at the tight end position. His blocking ability is considered a major weak point in his game, which could be a reason why he might slip down the draft board. Stowers might also struggle to earn a true lead tight end role in the NFL right away without rapid improvement as a blocker. Still, he offers clear upside due to his athleticism and has already shown the ability to produce as a receiver. Stowers currently profiles as the second-best dynasty tight end in first-year player pools, behind only Kenyon Sadiq.--Will Brady

Boston Red Sox right-hander Sonny Gray (hamstring) only made it through 2 2/3 innings on Monday at Fenway Park against the visiting Detroit Tigers due to right-hamstring tightness, according to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. In his 2 2/3 innings of work, Gray allowed an earned run on three hits while walking one and striking out two. He threw 27 of his 40 pitches for strikes. For now, fantasy managers should consider Gray questionable to make his next scheduled start this weekend against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. Coming into his start on Monday, Gray had gone 2-1 with a 4.43 ERA (4.70 FIP) and 1.28 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and four walks in 20 1/3 innings pitched over his first four starts in his first season in Beantown. Fantasy managers looking for a high-upside starting arm might want to grab Payton Tolle off the waiver wire, as he could be the BoSox's first choice to replace Gray in the rotation if he's forced to the 15-day injured list.--Keith Hernandez

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) underwent ankle surgery, per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Pierce reportedly played through pain in the ankle last season. The surgery will keep him from participating in OTAs, but Pierce should be ready to go for training camp. The 25-year-old had the best year of his career in 2025, recording 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. The Colts rewarded Pierce earlier this offseason with a four-year, $114 million extension. The team also traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., which could mean Pierce will be expected to expand his route tree beyond his usual downfield role. While it sounds as though Pierce should have a normal training camp, this ankle ailment will be something for fantasy managers to monitor heading into 2026. UPDATE: Ballard also said that Pierce is facing a "three-month recovery."--Will Brady

Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) has been a riser late in NFL Draft season, with some experts now projecting that he will come off the board somewhere in the middle of the first round later this week. The 21-year-old recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns across nine games for the Sun Devils in 2025. Tyson missed time with a hamstring injury, and hamstring issues have bothered him throughout the pre-draft process as well. Tyson also suffered three torn ligaments in his knee in 2022, which caused him to miss the majority of his sophomore season at Arizona State. Still, despite the injury concerns, Tyson is thought of as one of the top wide receivers in the 2026 draft class. He showed off what he can do in a fully healthy campaign in 2024, when he recorded 75 receptions for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 games. In dynasty formats, Tyson profiles as the third-best wide receiver in first-year player pools behind only Makai Lemon and Carnell Tate.--Will Brady
