With Return Nearing, Should Managers Stash Jordan Lawlar?
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Jordan Lawlar (wrist) has been rehabbing with the team's Complex League affiliate, but is poised to move his rehab to Triple-A Reno by the end of the week, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The former top prospect is 2-for-8 with a double, a 2:2 BB:K, and a steal through three rehab games. Lawlar cracked the team's Opening Day roster as an outfielder and had collected at least one hit in five of six games, including his first major league home run, before suffering a fractured wrist as the result of getting hit by a pitch. The 23-year-old has always had the promise of a multi-category producer for fantasy, but has consistently run into issues staying healthy. The former first-rounder hit .313 with 11 home runs and 20 steals in only 63 games for Reno last season, and with the potential to hit for power and the ability to steal bases, Lawlar should be one of the top IL stashes with his return to the majors likely to come by mid-June.

Gary Woodland Brings Boom-or-Bust Potential to Memorial
Gary Woodland bounced back nicely from a missed cut at the PGA Championship, recording a T6 at the Charles Schwab Challenge after gaining over 7.1 strokes putting. He looks to continue that momentum at the Memorial Tournament, where he has recorded two missed cuts and two top-25 finishes in his last four outings. Woodland currently sits 37th tee to green (+0.455), 60th on approach (+0.216), but sits 154th around the green, losing -0.390 strokes per round, all key areas this week. He continues to be one of the longest hitters on tour, ranking third in driving distance, but he could find some trouble on a layout that rewards playing from the short grass. Woodland sits just 104th in driving accuracy, but he can make up for it with his long-iron play, where he is 39th in proximity from over 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 33% of approach shots here last year. He will need to sharpen up his wedges, but at $7,300 on DraftKings, he is worth a flier in DFS lineups.

Jordan Spieth Still Searching for a Breakthrough
Jordan Spieth continued his solid yet lackluster season with his eighth top-25 result at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, finishing T19. He looks to finally break through at the Memorial Tournament, where he has nine top-20 results in 13 appearances. Players will be tested in all aspects of their game from tee to green this week, with an emphasis on approach and around-the-green play. Spieth sits 49th in strokes gained tee to green (+0.372), 69th on approach (+0.148), and 65th around the green (+0.095). His sporadic driver and long irons continue to be an issue, as he sits 90th in driving accuracy and only 133rd in proximity from over 200 yards, a distance that accounted for over 33% of approach shots here last year. Despite this, Spieth still offers very high upside at a course where he has found a ton of success, making him an intriguing play at just $7,900 on DraftKings.

Should Fantasy Managers Put Jesus Made on the Stash Radar?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made collected four hits in two games this past Saturday, including a double and a triple, upping his season-long slash line at Double-A to .280/.355/.460 with six home runs and 19 steals. With a low 15.0 percent strikeout rate and a 10.7 percent walk rate, it's a formidable stat sheet for a 19-year-old, one of only a few prospects under the age of 20 at that level. MLB's No. 1 prospect didn't get a chance to add to his totals on Sunday or Tuesday with both games for Biloxi getting rained out, but he should be able to keep rolling on Wednesday in his pursuit of a promotion to Triple-A. The 6-foot-1 Dominican is oozing with fantasy-friendly tools, so fantasy managers should continue to keep him on the stash radar as a late-season call-up is certainly within the realm of possibility.

Can Ted Hurst Find Consistent Fantasy Success in a Crowded Receiver Room?
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spending a third-round pick on perimeter wide receiver Ted Hurst, he steps into the league with colossal shoes to fill. For the first time since 2013, the Buccaneers will be without six-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans, after the 32-year-old wideout signed a three-year deal with the 49ers in free agency. At 6'3" and 206 pounds, Hurst profiles as the most likely player to inherit Evans' X-role on the boundary, but the receiver depth in Tampa runs deep, with a versatile group of pass-catchers capable of playing across the formation. For Hurst to eventually earn an every-down role in two-receiver sets, his most direct competition could come from third-year receiver Jalen McMillan. Reports out of OTAs have suggested that McMillan has put the neck injury that limited him to only four games in 2025 squarely behind him, and he has looked like the best receiver on the field at times. A younger prospect, with the bulk of his collegiate success coming as a downfield ball-winner, Hurst profiles as a boom-or-bust receiver who could struggle to consistently reach his ceiling early in his career, but in a weak draft class, he slots in as RotoBaller's rookie WR12.

Bubba Chandler Sees Struggles Persist on Tuesday, Should Managers Cut Ties?
Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler turned in another disappointing outing on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs on five hits, two walks, and a home run against the Astros. The rookie's season ERA now sits at 4.89 to go along with a 1.51 WHIP, and he has reached the six-inning mark just once this season. Command remains a major concern for Chandler, whose 14.7 percent walk rate ranks in the sixth percentile among qualified pitchers. The talent is still evident, and his arsenal continues to generate intrigue, but the results have not followed consistently at the major league level. Until Chandler begins limiting free passes and working deeper into games, fantasy managers may be better served looking elsewhere for rotation help.

Alex Smalley Brings Elite Form to Memorial Tournament
Alex Smalley has been one of the best players on tour over the last two months, recording four top-10 finishes in his last five events, including a runner-up at the PGA Championship and a T3 at Colonial last week. He looks to use this momentum at the Memorial Tournament, where he has missed the cut in both of his prior appearances. Smalley is clearly playing the best golf of his career, sitting 11th in total strokes gained (+1.171), 18th tee to green (+0.809), 17th on approach (+0.479), and 56th around the greens (+0.135). Even more impressive is his long-iron play, as he sits 10th in proximity from over 200 yards, a distance that accounted for over 33% of approach shots here last year. At $8,000 on DraftKings, he is in elite form and sets up beautifully for another big week.

Is Jett Williams Still a Stash Candidate Amid Deep Slump at Triple-A?
Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams is in the midst of a really tough stretch at Triple-A Nashville, going 3-for-35 (.086) over his last nine games with zero extra-base hits. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect was hitting .256 on May 21, but has seen his average dip to .227 amid the slump. The former first-rounder still owns a strong 14.2 percent walk rate on the season that has kept a .348 on-base percentage afloat, and he's tallied 12 steals in 55 games, but this current skid will likely push out his major league debut a bit further. With the ability to play second base, third base, shortstop, and center field, the 22-year-old has multiple paths to the majors (eligible at 2B, SS, OF on Yahoo!), and he has the potential to be a multi-category contributor, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until his bat heats up again in order to benefit from his skillset. The right-handed hitter's debut may come closer to the All-Star break, and for now, is off the "must-stash" radar.

Jayden Reed Still an Unproven Dynasty Asset
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been one of the most frustrating fantasy assets since coming into the league as a 2023 second-round pick out of Michigan State. He is unquestionably talented, having flashed throughout his three-year career, but operating primarily out of the slot in a league trending toward fewer three-receiver sets, he's never seen the consistent usage to make him an every-week must-start player. With the Packers' leading receiver from 2025, Romeo Doubs, departing through free agency and the team committing to Reed in the form of a three-year, $50.25 million extension, it's entirely possible Green Bay envisions an expanded role for him in 2026. History, however, suggests that outside work in two-receiver sets is still more likely to go to Christian Watson and 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden, with Reed seeing only nine career routes with fewer than three receivers on the field. Coming off a season in which he missed 10 games with a broken collarbone and never managed higher than a 65% snap share in his return, Reed has fallen to WR51 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.

Justin Rose Looks to Recapture Memorial Tournament Success
Justin Rose continues to shine at majors, recording a T10 finish at the PGA Championship, where he gained over 7.8 strokes combined around the green and putting. He now turns to the Memorial Tournament, where he has seven prior top-10 finishes, including a win in 2010. His recent trips have not been as good, with two missed cuts and a T44 in his last three visits to Muirfield Village. Rose is 61st in total strokes gained (+0.329), 18th on approach (+0.475), and 75th tee to green (+0.161). He has been subpar from around the greens, sitting 105th and losing -0.083 strokes per round. Off the tee has also been lackluster, ranking 126th, and at a course where it is pivotal to find fairways and have distance, this has the potential to hold him back. At $7,800 on DraftKings, he offers strong value, but it should be taken with a cautious approach by fantasy managers.

Will Riley O'Brien Lose Save Opportunities Amid Struggles?
Cardinals right-hander Riley O'Brien endured another rough outing on Tuesday, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk while taking the loss against the Rangers. The appearance continued a concerning trend for O'Brien, who now owns a 7.04 ERA over his last 15 games. Despite the recent struggles, he remains the Cardinals' leader with 14 saves and has handled the majority of the club's ninth-inning opportunities this season. His season ERA has climbed to 4.10, and the margin for error is beginning to shrink as the bullpen picture becomes less certain. It is not time for fantasy managers to abandon O'Brien, but his recent performance warrants close monitoring. Another few shaky outings could put his role as the primary closer in jeopardy.

Cameron Young Looks to Get Back to His Contending Ways at Murifield Village
It was a disappointing last outing for Cameron Young at Aronimink, with a T26 finish. He still hit the ball well, but it was the wrong time for him to perform poorly around the greens of the demanding property. He'll return to action this week at Muirfield to hopefully improve upon his T25 here last year, which is his best finish here in four tries. After the year he's put together thus far, it's plausible to think he will have addressed the issues that plagued him in the year's second major. Young has been one of the best tee-to-green players in 2026, ranking 5th in strokes gained (1.412), and his short game ranks in the top 20 for the season. The flat stick is the most turbulent part of the 29-year-old's game, and is what has plagued him around Muirfield. He's a fine DFS play, but ownership level should dictate if it's wise to take a chance on a bounce-back or wait for a more fruitful opportunity.

Brenton Strange a Safe, Young Dynasty Depth Piece
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange missed five mid-season games in 2025 with a hip injury that landed him on injured reserve. After returning to the field in Week 12, he played the final seven games of the year on a full-season pace of 63 receptions for 816 yards and seven touchdowns, good enough to make him the fantasy TE8 over that stretch. Jacksonville boasts one of the deepest receiver groups in the league, but with at least three different players holding a reasonable claim to the team's WR1 spot in any given week, a consensus fantasy ranking within the room can hardly be agreed upon. Strange's role holds no such ambiguity, and in his 2025 games in which he played a full allotment of snaps, he saw fewer than four targets only once. While he is never going to accumulate league-winning volume, Strange provides a safe weekly floor, and with the depth chart existing as it does, he has multiple paths to an expanded role through injury to any one of the team's wideouts. At only 25 years old, Strange is RotoBaller's dynasty TE16.

Scott Barlow Unable to Close Out Ninth Inning, Will He Fall Out of Closer Committee?
Athletics right-hander Scott Barlow had a shaky outing Tuesday against the Cubs, throwing 17 pitches while recording just two outs and allowing a hit and a walk before being lifted. While the damage was limited, it does little to strengthen Barlow's case for more save opportunities. The 33-year-old has been effective overall in his first season with the Athletics, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, but the club has not shown a willingness to hand him the ninth inning outright. Barlow is now 2-for-3 in save chances, and pitchers such as Jack Perkins and Mark Leiter Jr. continue to factor into the late-inning picture. Fantasy managers searching for saves may want to look elsewhere until the Athletics establish a clearer bullpen hierarchy.

Chris Gotterup Needs to Find Fairways at Muirfield Village
Chris Gotterup recorded another top-10 finish at the PGA Championship, his fourth such result of the season. He looks to use this momentum at the Memorial Tournament, where he has missed the cut in both of his prior appearances. Players will be tested in all aspects of their game from tee to green this week, with a heavy emphasis on approach and around-the-green play. Gotterup is 10th in total strokes gained (+1.183), 14th tee to green (+0.892), and 53rd on approach (+0.261). His short game has been a little more average, sitting 72nd around the green (+0.065) and 40th putting (+0.292). With thick rough this week, driving accuracy plays a massive factor, and Gotterup has struggled, sitting only 145th on tour and hitting 52.44% of fairways. He has clear upside, but a lack of any strong results here and an inaccurate driver can create some volatility for the 26-year-old.

Si Woo Kim Looks to Stay Hot at Memorial Tournament
Si Woo Kim recorded his seventh top-10 finish of the year with a runner-up finish at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. He has yet to break through for a win this season, but with the form he is in, it seems like it is only a matter of time. He turns to the Memorial Tournament this week, where he has recorded six straight finishes of T31 or better. Kim is sixth in total strokes gained this year (+1.369), third tee to green (+1.493), and seventh on approach (+0.673). His short game has been more hit or miss, as he is 29th around the green (+0.286) but is only 106th putting, losing -0.125 strokes per round. Muirfield Village will test a player throughout their bag, and Kim has been in great form and sets up well at this course. At $9,400 on DraftKings, he is a very solid pivot play off the more expensive options.

Spencer Jones Rolling Again at Triple-A, Nearing Return to the Majors?
New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones is hitting the ball well again for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, collecting three multi-hit efforts in his last four contests, going 7-for-16 (.438) over that stretch with one home run, two steals, and a 4:4 BB:K. The Yankees' sixth-ranked prospect returned to minor league action on May 26 after a brief debut with the big league club, where he collected just four hits in 24 at-bats (.167) and struck out 12 times (44.4 percent). The strikeouts have always been the concern, with a career 35.2 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A, but that has been somewhat offset by a career 10.6 percent walk rate there and 32 home runs in 107 games for the RailRiders. The 6-foot-7 power hitter also has some sneaky speed, swiping 29 bags a season ago and nine so far this season in 40 games at Triple-A. The Yankees are expecting both Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) back in the not-too-distant future, which will not help Jones' chances of returning to the big leagues soon, but if he can improve the strikeout rate, the power and speed will be an asset the next time he gets the call. With multi-category potential, the 25-year-old is a worthy stash option in deeper leagues, just know that he may be a batting average liability, too.

Kaytron Allen in the Right Situation to Overcome Poor Draft Capital?
With rookie running back Kaytron Allen lasting all the way to pick No. 187 of the 2026 NFL Draft before the Washington Commanders selected him in the sixth round, he landed in as ideal a situation as can be found for a late Day 3 pick. No running back on the roster handled more than 37% of their team's carries last season, with the Commanders' leading rusher, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, himself a seventh-round pick in 2025. No stranger to working in a committee, Allen set the all-time Penn State rushing record while playing all four of his collegiate seasons alongside 2026 fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton. In Washington, he will be battling veteran Jeremy McNichols for the third spot in a rotation alongside Croskey-Merritt and free agent signee Rachaad White, and with White potentially making McNichols' pass-catching role redundant, the edge could go to the rookie. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB40, Allen is not a flashy pick in the middle rounds of rookie-only drafts, but he has one of the clearer paths to immediate fantasy relevance, which is not a luxury to be overlooked in a generally unexciting draft class.

Yoendrys Gomez Entering Priority Waiver-Wire Territory?
Minnesota Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez picked up his fourth save of the season Tuesday, recording the final four outs in a 6-4 victory over the White Sox while striking out two. The 26-year-old has steadily improved after a difficult April, posting a 0.87 ERA during May while earning a larger role in the Minnesota bullpen. Gomez now owns a 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and leads the Twins in saves. Minnesota continues to utilize multiple relievers in save situations, but Gomez has made a strong case for additional ninth-inning opportunities. Fantasy managers searching for saves should view him as a priority waiver wire target while his role continues to grow.

Matt Fitzpatrick Positioned for Success at Muirfield Village
Matt Fitzpatrick bounced back nicely after a disappointing T52 at the Truist Championship to claim a T14 finish at the PGA Championship. He has been lights out all season and looks to continue that at Muirfield Village. In seven trips here, he has three top-10 finishes and, most recently, a T31 last year. On the season, Fitzpatrick sits fourth in total strokes gained (+1.508), second tee to green (+1.549), and fourth on approach (+0.741). He has also been elite with his short game and long irons, ranking eighth around the green (+0.448) and 19th in proximity from over 200 yards, which is key since that distance made up over 33% of approach shots here last year. There are very few holes in Fitzpatrick's game, and this course should suit him well. At $9,600 on DraftKings, he is a rock-solid pivot play as the sixth-most expensive golfer in the field.

Luis Lara a High-End Stash Option with Multi-Category Potential
Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara is just 1-for-9 in his last three games, but that hasn't stopped him from getting on base, as the Brewers' fifth-ranked prospect recorded four walks during that time, compared to just one strikeout -- a phenomenal trait he's been displaying all season at Triple-A Nashville. For the season, the switch-hitter has walked more times than he's struck out, with a 39:32 BB:K, which has buoyed a fantastic .447 on-base percentage. All in all, the 5-foot-7 Venezuelan is hitting .338 with a .947 OPS (.500 SLG), seven home runs, and 18 stolen bases. After hitting just two home runs and slugging .343 last season at Double-A, the newfound power production is a welcome development. With the toolset to impact multiple fantasy-relevant categories, the 21-year-old has become a high-end stash candidate in most leagues as he inches closer to a major league debut.

Previously, only nine rearguards in NHL history had tallied multiple assists in the opening period of a Stanley Cup Finals. While Chatfield has occasionally chipped in offensively, he does most of his work in the defensive zone. With 14 games played in the 2026 postseason, Chatfield has registered seven points (one goal, six assists), 24 SOG, 22 blocks, and 10 hits.

Demond Claiborne Worthy of a Late-Round Dart Throw in Dynasty Rookie Drafts
Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne was a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, a historically difficult spot from which to find fantasy success. On the rare occasions when a back with such late draft capital has made a meaningful fantasy impact, the setting is often a backfield without a clear leader. With neither Aaron Jones nor Jordan Mason handling more than 39% of the team's carries or reaching 760 yards on the ground in 2025, the landing spot in Minnesota certainly qualifies as such. Claiborne is only 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, so he is unlikely to ever find an every-down role in the NFL, but he offers an element of speed unique to the Vikings' running back room. If he can beat out 2023 undrafted free agent Xavier Scott, he could carve out a role in a three-man rotation in an offense projected to get back on track after the worst showing of the Kevin O'Connell era. At RotoBaller's rookie RB8, Claiborne is at least worth a dart throw in the closing rounds of 2026 rookie drafts.

Rico Garcia Remains High-End, Short-Term Saves Source?
Baltimore Orioles right-hander Rico Garcia continued his dominant campaign Tuesday, tossing a perfect inning to secure his fourth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Red Sox. Garcia needed just 14 pitches to retire all three batters he faced, recording two strikeouts along the way. The veteran reliever has quietly become one of Baltimore's most reliable arms, allowing just two earned runs all season. Through 26 1/3 innings, he owns a 0.68 ERA, 0.61 WHIP, and 30 strikeouts. With Ryan Helsley on the injured list, Garcia appears to have a firm grip on ninth-inning duties for the time being. His combination of swing-and-miss stuff and elite run prevention makes him a strong fantasy option, and a priority waiver wire target for managers searching for saves in the short term.

He also ranks 32nd in proximity from over 200 yards, a key distance that made up over 33% of approach shots here last year.

Justin Thomas is an Exciting Play This Week in Ohio
Things have really picked up for Justin Thomas over his last four starts, finishing no worse than T23 and being in the hunt for the PGA Championship. While there have been some incredible performances on the greens during that span, the real change has been in the ball striking, where the 33-year-old has averaged 0.725 strokes gained on approach and 0.662 off the tee. What's more impressive is the increased level of accuracy he's shown, which has doomed his chances over the years. It's still hard to say that he's back to the JT we knew him to be, but he's definitely doing a lot of good things to justify leaning into his DFS upside come Thursday.
