Team Penske's Ryan Blaney ended with a solid finish of eighth at the end of the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Blaney started seventh in the race and quietly ran inside the top 10 through the entire first stage. On lap 72, the No. 12 Ford driver made a call to get two tires instead of four for a caution to gain track position. The call worked as Blaney then competed for the stage win alongside A.J. Allmendinger and Kyle Larson, but fell behind both of them to end the stage in third and score eight stage points. In the second stage, Blaney started from second, but lost a few positions to be in the back half of the top five until a caution on lap 146 shuffled him back to the lead. Blaney lost the lead again after pitting during a lap 173 caution and put himself further back in the pack. The No. 12 Ford driver tried regaining positions, but only made it up to 14th and failed to earn further stage points at the end of the second stage. In the final stage, Blaney quietly rode around the top 15 until he went to pit road on lap 217 during another caution. From here, Blaney attempted to save fuel and make it to the end without pitting, which worked until lap 274, when he went to pit for tires and fuel. After one last pit stop on lap 292, Blaney charged from the back to the front and made it up to his eventual finishing position of eighth. This was Blaney's fourth career top-10 finish at Nashville, and it helped move him to third in the regular season standings after 14 races.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Eli Stowers is an intriguing target in dynasty leagues ahead of his rookie season. The Eagles spent a second-round pick on Stowers, and while he won't have immediate fantasy relevance since Dallas Goedert is still under contract, the Vanderbilt product does project as the tight end of the future in Philadelphia. Goedert is expected to leave the Eagles after 2026, which means Stowers could earn a large snap share this season in anticipation of him taking on the starting role in 2027. Because he's behind Goedert right now, he can be acquired at a discount before taking on top-12 upside next year and beyond. He's a very intriguing target for dynasty managers near the end of the first round in rookie drafts. At the moment, he ranks as the overall TE12 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.--Andersen Pickard

Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports had a disappointing finish of 23rd in the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday night despite running well for most of the event. Larson began the race from the fifth position and had one of the fastest cars in the field in the first stage, as he went from fifth to the lead by halfway through the stage. Larson kept leading the race until a lap 72 caution that caused him to get four tires and fall a few positions behind the pack. The No. 5 Chevrolet driver recovered to finish second at the end of the first stage behind A.J. Allmendinger and earn nine stage points. In the second stage, Larson continued to lead until he was passed by Chase Briscoe on lap 127, then he went to pit road on lap 139. A couple of laps later, another caution occurred for Austin Dillon spinning, which put Larson behind other drivers, as some did not pit during green flag pit stops. Larson spent the rest of the stage regaining positions, but only made it up to 15th, and he failed to score further stage points. In the final stage, Larson reached back out to the top 10, where he ran for most of the stage and was about to reach the top five until he had a flat tire that caused him to spin on lap 299. The flat tire turned a potential top-10 run into a lackluster finish outside of the top 20, causing Larson's perfect streak of top-10 finishes at Nashville to end. After the 14th race of the season at Nashville, Larson is now sixth in the regular season standings.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller

San Diego Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta (forearm) is starting to show some real progress in his recovery and could be worth stashing on the waiver wire right now in deeper leagues. The 33-year-old Opening Day starter landed on the IL back in mid-April with right forearm inflammation/flexor strain. He took a big step forward on Friday when he threw on flat ground for the first time since the injury. The 33-year-old is expected to keep building up from there over the next couple of weeks, and the Padres have been cautiously optimistic about his timeline. Pivetta was having a solid start to 2026 before going down, posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.68 WHIP over his previous 13 innings. He's always had the stuff to be a reliable rotation piece when healthy. If Pivetta keeps progressing smoothly, he should be back sometime this summer with a chance to help fantasy teams down the stretch. Fantasy managers in leagues with an IL spot should continue to stash Pivetta for now.--Bruno Mulé

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Rico Garcia notched the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Athletics. Garcia allowed one walk while striking out over a scoreless inning to earn his third save of the year. The 32-year-old keeps rolling and looks like one of the best relief pitchers on the waiver wire right now. He has been absolutely filthy in 2026, posting a ridiculous 0.71 ERA and 0.63 WHIP with 28 strikeouts in 25 1/3 innings. Garcia has allowed basically no hard contact all year (including a historic stretch with just one hit over his first 64 batters faced) and already picked up three saves while sharing high-leverage work. With Ryan Helsley (elbow) on the IL, Garcia has been handling the majority of the save chances for the Orioles. Fantasy managers chasing saves should look to add Garcia, as he's only rostered in 35% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues.--Bruno Mulé

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard has an encouraging draft stock as a second-round pick and has drawn praise from the coaching staff, but his position on the depth chart could prevent him from having immediate fantasy relevance. Managers may need to exercise a little patience in dynasty leagues, as Bernard projects to open 2026 as the Steelers' No. 3 receiver behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. That's not to say that he should be avoided in dynasty leagues, though. Metcalf has missed at least two games in each of the last two seasons, so injuries could strike at any time and result in Bernard taking on a larger role. Plus, as a second-rounder from Alabama, we know he's a talented player who could earn more playing time simply by producing this summer and early in his rookie season. Managers may have to be a little patient, but the upside is very encouraging. Bernard is a solid target at the end of the first round or start of the second round in 2026 rookie drafts. He ranks as the WR60 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.--Andersen Pickard

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Matt McLain has been one of the bigger disappointments of the first two months, but he might be worth grabbing right now while he's slumping. The 26-year-old is hitting just .196 with five homers, 20 RBI, 22 runs, and seven steals across 56 games. He's been especially ice cold lately (1-for-26 in his last eight games), and he was out of the lineup on Sunday. Still, he showed some signs of life with a three-homer stretch in May, and he came in as a pinch-runner and played shortstop after Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) was removed from Sunday's game against the Braves. McLain is still viewed as the primary second baseman long-term and has the tools for a legit 15-20 HR, 15+ SB season once he gets going. Deeper-league managers should consider stashing him on the waiver wire (rostered in 38% of Yahoo leagues) while the price is this low. Update: McLain should see an uptick in at-bats now that De La Cruz was placed on the 10-day Injured List Monday.--Bruno Mulé

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston has intriguing short-term and long-term upside in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Boston projects as the Browns' No. 2 receiver of the future alongside KC Concepcion, and he could ascend into that role (while leapfrogging Jerry Jeudy on the depth chart) as early as this year. The second-round pick has shown that he's pretty close to pro-ready after catching 125 passes for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns over his final two years at school. The biggest question mark for Boston is the Browns' quarterback situation, with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in the mix to start Week 1. Neither is a terrific passer, so Boston could have trouble converting targets into catches, yards, and touchdowns right away. With that being said, his skill set made him a borderline first-round pick, and he should overcome any quarterback challenges pretty quickly. He projects as a first-round pick in 2026 rookie drafts, and he ranks as the overall WR49 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.--Andersen Pickard

Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor has arguably been his team's top relief option so far in 2026, recording a 2.12 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 44 strikeouts across 29 2/3 innings (23 games). The 24-year-old has recorded just one save on the year, as the White Sox have primarily utilized veteran reliever Seranthony Dominguez in the ninth inning. However, Dominguez owns an 11.3% walk rate and a 1.99 HR/9 on the season, a combination that makes him prone to blow-up innings. With an average fastball velocity of 98.5 miles per hour and a 28.7% K-BB rate, Taylor profiles as the closer of the future in Chicago. If the White Sox continue to hang around the playoff picture in the American League, the team could make the switch to Taylor sooner rather than later. For deeper-league managers in need of saves, Taylor could be worth stashing off the waiver wire ahead of his possible emergence as the preferred ninth-inning option in Chicago.--Will Brady

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Troy Melton had the start of his 2026 season delayed by an elbow injury. However, the 25-year-old made his return to the MLB mound on May 24 and has impressed in his first two starts of the year, allowing just two earned runs across 12 2/3 innings pitched. Melton's production in 2026 is a continuation of his strong 2025 performance, as he recorded a 2.76 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 16 games (four starts) after making his MLB debut in late July. With a 17.4% career strikeout rate, the young right-hander has struggled to generate whiffs at the big-league level so far. Still, he's consistently found a way to get outs and showed more strikeout upside in the minors, recording a 32.4% strikeout rate across 75 1/3 innings split between Double and Triple-A in 2025. Melton should have an extended runway to establish himself as a rotation fixture in Detroit and profiles as a breakout candidate for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.--Will Brady

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Angel Martinez (foot) is currently considered day-to-day as he battles a mid-foot strain that forced him to exit early from his team's game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. However, Martinez is not expected to require a trip to the injured list and could be ready to go for the start of Cleveland's three-game set with the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season so far in 2026, hitting .243/.281/.449 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored, and eight stolen bases across 200 plate appearances. While Martinez's 3.0% walk rate brings his plate skills into question, he's made up for it by raising his barrel rate from 3.5% in 2025 to 8.1% this season. As a switch-hitter, Martinez has established himself as an everyday staple in the Guardians outfield, which should allow him to continue to rack up counting stats and stolen bases. Particularly in deeper leagues, Martinez profiles as a valuable compiler who should be a priority on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.--Will Brady

After opening 2026 in Triple-A, Athletics infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof earned a promotion to the big leagues in mid-April and has since established himself as his team's everyday third baseman. Across 150 plate appearances so far this season, the 26-year-old is hitting .259/.304/.432 with six home runs, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored, and six stolen bases. Gelof battled major swing-and-miss issues in his previous MLB stints, logging a 34.4% strikeout rate across 547 plate appearances in 2024 and striking out in 45.5% of his 101 plate appearances in 2025. However, the former top prospect has lowered his strikeout rate to 24.7% in 2026. As long as Gelof can continue to keep the whiffs under control, his combination of power and speed makes him an appealing option for fantasy managers. Gelof also has the advantage of playing his home games in the A's hitter-friendly home environment in Sacramento, which should allow him to maximize his abilities at the plate. Gelof profiles as a priority waiver wire target with upside ahead of a possible breakout season in 2026.--Will Brady

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/first baseman Ryan Ward picked up his first career home run on Sunday during his team's 9-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Ward was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday after the Dodgers placed veteran outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. The 28-year-old Ward has been in the Dodgers farm system since 2019 and recorded back-to-back minor league seasons with at least 34 home runs and 104 RBI in 2024 and 2025. The lefty-swinging Ward could be in a position to play on the big side of a platoon in left field with Dodgers outfielder Alex Call until Hernandez returns from the IL. With regular playing time, Ward's power could provide a nice lift for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. The Dodgers' depth brings Ward's playing time into question, but he may still be worth targeting on the waiver wire.--Will Brady

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Sam Moll picked up his first save of the season on Sunday, recording the final out in his team's 6-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. Moll came on in relief of right-hander Tony Santillan, who started the ninth inning but exited after two hits, a walk, and an earned run. With closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list and top setup man Graham Ashcraft on the 60-day IL, the Reds are currently without a primary option in the ninth inning. Moll has pitched well so far in 2026, recording a 2.49 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 26 strikeouts across 25 1/3 innings (28 games). The 32-year-old has just two career saves and averages 92.3 miles per hour with his fastball, so he does not profile as a prototypical closer. Still, given Cincinnati's current situation, Moll could be a worthy saves target on the waiver wire for deep-league fantasy managers.--Will Brady

Chicago White Sox left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith has begun to find his footing at the Triple-A level and is now firmly on the stash radar among pitching prospects. Since allowing four runs over 3 2/3 innings on May 21, the young southpaw has gone to log five innings in each of his last two games while allowing only two runs in each contest. During this 10-inning stint, Smith has struck out 14 hitters while walking only two total batters. This is worth noting, as his command was a major weakness in the opening month of the season, during which he walked a high 27 hitters over his first 33 2/3 innings. While the former fifth-overall pick will need to show this progress over a longer stretch of time, he could put himself in a position to earn the call before the All-Star break, given Chicago's lack of depth in its starting rotation.--Andy Smith

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara continues to swing a scorching hot bat at Triple-A Nashville and enters Week 10 of the season as a priority stash target for managers in all leagues. Through 55 games at Triple-A this season, Lara has posted an incredible .345/.452/.510 slash line with eight doubles, two triples, seven home runs, and 18 stolen bases. During this stretch, the young outfielder has shown a strong eye at the dish, posting a 31:38 K:BB. His power production is even more impressive, as Lara only went deep two times over 136 games in Double-A last season. Seeing Lara maintaining an elite eye at the plate while hitting for power against the top pitching in the minor leagues is a great sign for his outlook. While the Brewers outfield is crowded at the moment, Lara's five-category profile makes him a worthy stash candidate in all standard leagues.--Andy Smith

Washington Nationals catching prospect Harry Ford has begun to snap out of his cold streak at Triple-A and is emerging as a deep-league stash target. Over his last nine contests at Rochester, the young catcher has posted 256/.356/.359 line with a .715 OPS. During this stretch, Ford has hit four doubles while holding a 9:6 K:BB. Prior to this recent improvement at the dish, the 23-year-old backstop carried a much lower .186/.317/.245 line through his first 28 games of the MiLB season. Ford made his MLB debut during the second half of the 2025 season with the Seattle Mariners but appeared in only eight games while serving in a bench role. If Ford can maintain this pace, the Nationals could look to give their No. 5-ranked prospect his first extended look at MLB pitching before the All-Star break. Managers in deeper two-catcher leagues should continue to monitor his development at Triple-A.--Andy Smith

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams remains an elite stash option in Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season, given his clear path to at-bats on the major league roster. Williams was acquired by the Brewers in the winter in the deal that sent Freddy Peralta to the Mets. While Williams endured some growing pains over his first full look at the Triple-A level this season, the infielder has begun to show some steady progress. From May 6 through May 24 (17games), the former first-round pick has posted a .270/.397/.492 line with four doubles, two home runs, and three stolen bases. However, since this surge, he has tallied just one hit in his last five games.

With Double-A, Velazquez posted a stellar .317/.414/.566 slash line with nine doubles, three triples, seven home runs, with a 31:22 K:BB. This strong play earned him an early ticket to Triple-A Columbus, where he has carried a .235/.316/.324 line over his first nine games.

Last summer, the No. 1-ranked prospect on MLB.com spent most of his time in the lower level and only logged five games at Double-A over the final week of the season.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill locked up three saves last week, two of which came in the Brewers' most recent series in Houston over the weekend. On the season, Megill now owns a 4.29 ERA (2.87 xERA) and 1.05 WHIP with 27 strikeouts in 21 innings pitched. He has also converted on eight of his nine save opportunities, and has demonstrated solid control with a 7.1 percent walk rate. While there has been a lot of hype around Abner Uribe, who has pretty electric stuff, Uribe has not showcased as much consistency and control as Megill, leading Brewers manager Pat Murphy to side with the 32-year-old veteran more often than the young 25-year-old Uribe. While it's possible Uribe will still snipe a couple of saves from Megill throughout the season, Megill appears to be the guy to own out of the two, and although Megill may not finish as a top 10 closer because of that, he is still a reliever that should be viewed as one of the more efficient closers in the game when given the chances. Additionally, Uribe has not recorded a save since May 19 against the Cubs.--Nicho Roessler

Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has had an up-and-down career since the Panthers made him the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The soon-to-be-25-year-old signal caller was briefly benched in his second season before reclaiming the job due to injury, and in his third season in 2025, he led the Panthers to an 8-9 record and their first playoff appearance since 2017. His fantasy results have also been held down by a lack of consistency, with finishes of QB23, QB20, and QB19. Young's five 2025 weekly results as the QB12 or better marked a career high, but through three seasons in the league, he has yet to string two such finishes together in consecutive weeks, making him a difficult weekly play outside of best ball formats. His best outing in 2025 came in a Week 11 overtime win over the Falcons, in which he threw for 448 yards and scored more than 36 fantasy points. By contrast, in the two games prior, he scored a combined 0.54 fantasy points while playing 100% of the snaps. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB28, Young is a passable QB2 in superflex leagues, but his devastating lows make him more suitable as a luxury third quarterback.--Patrick McGrath

Craig Mish, host of SportsGrid, reported Monday morning that among all the Marlins' recent big-league moves is a significant minor-league note. Top 100 prospect starting pitcher Karson Milbrandt has been elevated to Triple-A Jacksonville. He has been fantastic in Double-A and is one step closer to the big leagues. Milbrandt is a former 2022 third-round pick by the Marlins, and he has been working his way up quickly through the Minors over the past year, with a solid 2025 season across High-A and Double-A, owning a 3.00 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with a 29.0 percent strikeout rate. Fast forward to his time in Double-A this season, and he owns a 1.34 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with a ridiculous 38.3 percent strikeout rate and 19.3 percent SwStr percentage. Milbrandt is an exciting prospect, as his arsenal includes a fastball that has touched 97 mph, and he now has a solid low-80s curveball after moving away from his slider while also improving his changeup. Milbrandt is certainly a prospect to keep your eyes on in redraft formats, while worth a check in your dynasty leagues to see if he's available.--Nicho Roessler

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love was viewed as the consensus top pick in dynasty rookie drafts for months heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, and even though he landed in one of the most crowded running back rooms in the league, nothing about that ranking has changed. Love was an elite prospect with no holes in his profile, and by selecting him with the third overall pick, the Cardinals signaled a willingness to involve him early and often, even in a room with newly acquired free agent Tyler Allgeier and returning backs, James Conner and Trey Benson. The Cardinals project to have one of the league's lowest win totals in 2026, which is not genuinely an environment that harbors fantasy success from its running backs, but Love's involvement as a pass catcher could provide a safe floor early in his career. While fantasy managers may require patience for him to ultimately reach his ceiling, Love is RotoBaller's dynasty RB4 and can be the exact piece needed to push a team into title contention or extend an existing window.--Patrick McGrath

Cincinnati Reds reliever Tony Santillan started the ninth inning for the Reds on Sunday with a three-run lead over the Atlanta Braves and faltered, recording only two outs and allowing two hits, one walk, and one earned run. He threw 18 pitches, 10 of which were for strikes, and Sam Moll came in to record the final out and pick up the save. Since Emilio Pagan (hamstring) landed on the injured list in early May, the closer role for the Reds has been in flux, with Santillan receiving most of the opportunities, but he has now blown three saves on the season, and only converted on two of them. He owns a 5.56 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 23.4 percent strikeout rate with an 11.7 percent walk rate. It has not been announced yet, nor have the Reds made it clear that Santillan has lost the role as the ninth-inning guy, but his production certainly suggests the Reds may look elsewhere, making him a strong drop candidate for fantasy managers heading into Week 11.--Nicho Roessler

The New York Giants are working out free agent wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios on Monday, along with former Giant Odell Beckham Jr. Smith-Schuster, a veteran of nine seasons, has ties to new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy from their time together in Kansas City, while Berrios has been limited to only 10 games across his last two seasons with the Dolphins and Texans, recording six receptions over that time while the bulk of his contributions came on special teams. Beckham last played for the Dolphins in 2024, but was the Giants' first-round pick in 2014 and averaged 92.8 receiving yards across his five seasons with the team. With 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers still recovering from the knee injury that ended his second season after only four games, the Giants are doing their due diligence to find receiver depth should he be unable to suit up by the start of the season.--Patrick McGrath

The Washington Nationals' carousel of closers continues, with right-hander Clayton Beeter recording the most recent two saves during the Nationals' three-game series against the Padres over the weekend. Beeter recorded the save on both Saturday and Sunday, working 2 1/3 innings, allowing one hit, and two walks with two strikeouts over the two outings. On the season, Beeter now owns a 2.30 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 15 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings pitched. He has converted on four of his six save opportunities on the season and is holding batters to a .135 batting average against. Considering Beeter got two opportunities in a row and is now tied for the team's lead in saves and save opportunities, he should be considered as a top closer fantasy option off the waiver wire in deeper formats where saves are difficult to come by. With the current state of closing pitching in MLB, Beeter's value is on the rise and is worth considering if you are struggling for saves.--Nicho Roessler

Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will work out for the New York Giants on Monday, according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. The two sides have reportedly been in contact for months, with interest from both sides in a potential reunion. The Giants' first-round pick in 2014, the 33-year-old Beckham has played 10 seasons for five different teams, most recently recording nine receptions for 55 yards in his nine games with the Dolphins in 2024. Unquestionably, though, his best football was played with the Giants, where he won the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and averaged 92.8 receiving yards across his first five seasons in the league. Beckham last played for the Giants in 2018, and a reunion at this point could be viewed as a sign that 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers may not be ready for the start of the season after a complicated knee injury ended his 2025 campaign after only four games.--Patrick McGrath

Dylan Quinn, who covers the Athletics via Sports Illustrated, reported Sunday that the Athletics are promoting their 12th-ranked prospect, Kade Morris. Morris was acquired from the Mets in the Paul Blackburn trade and now joins the A's rotation. This news comes after it was announced that Jacob Lopez would be heading to Triple-A after Sunday's game against the Yankees. Morris, a former 2023 third-round pick, has not been very good at Triple-A this season, with a 4.45 ERA and 1.47 WHIP to go along with a 7.27 K/9, but the Athletics have seen enough from Lopez's 6.75 ERA. Last season, across Double-A and Triple-A, Morris posted a 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with a 7.68 K/9, similar to his performance thus far in 2026. Morris features a fastball that can reach 97 mph and good armside run, generating a lot of ground balls. Morris should not be on the fantasy radar for now, but he has the opportunity to make the first leap to the Major League level and showcase what he can bring, which is worth monitoring in the fantasy landscape.--Nicho Roessler

With the calendar flipping to June, all eyes are now squarely on the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, and three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown. For months, the date of June 1st has been circled as a threshold that would need to be crossed for the Eagles to face less severe salary cap ramifications in trading away the disgruntled wideout, and NBC Philadelphia's John Clark notes that the deal could now be done within the next 24 hours. The window for any trade to become official opens at 4pm ET on Monday, with speculation that the most likely compensation for the soon-to-be-29-year-old Brown could be New England's 2028 first-round pick. Brown is currently RotoBaller's dynasty WR20, and while many in the dynasty community have unofficially viewed him as a Patriot for weeks or even months, he is naturally likely to see a value spike if and when a deal officially ties him to 23-year-old MVP runner-up Drake Maye.--Patrick McGrath
