Minnesota Twins first baseman
Ty France (foot) will start on the bench for Thursday's series finale in Baltimore against the Orioles. It's not a big surprise after France was forced to leave Wednesday's game early in the fifth inning with a left-foot contusion in the first game of a doubleheader. The 30-year-old was also held out of Game 2. It's not considered a serious injury, but France will miss his second straight game. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if he's able to return for Friday's series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. France hasn't homered since April 29 and has hit .227 (10-for-44) with three RBI, a steal and 10 strikeouts in 11 games so far in May.
Kody Clemens is starting at first base on Thursday and is hitting eighth against Orioles right-hander
Tomoyuki Sugano, who he has never faced in his career. Clemens will be a low-upside DFS sleeper.

Texas Rangers outfielder
Adolis Garcia went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored, two RBI, and a walk in the Rangers' 8-3 win over the hapless Rockies on Wednesday night. Garcia now has six homers on the season and boosted his batting average to .229 with a .297 wOBA. Five of his six home runs have come at home, where he has a .327 wOBA compared to a .264 road wOBA. He'll stay at Globe Life Field for this weekend's series against the Rangers' in-state division rivals from Houston. Garcia's power potential can make him usable as a streaming or DFS option when playing at home, but he hasn't been consistent enough to be an option in standard-sized leagues to this point in the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman
Max Muncy broke open Wednesday night's win over the Athletics with a three-run home run in the eighth inning off
Tyler Ferguson. Muncy's homer was his only hit of the night, as he went 1-for-5 with a strikeout and three RBI. It was just his second home run of the season, and he is still hitting only .191 with a .285 wOBA on the year. He also has a 29 percent strikeout rate, which would be a career worst. The 34-year-old lefty veteran still has time to turn things around, especially if his homer on Wednesday is the start of a power surge. He'll need to find more consistency, though, before he becomes a regular fantasy option even in his regular role in the Dodgers' high-powered offense.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter
Shohei Ohtani got his team off to a strong start against the Athletics by taking the third pitch he saw from rookie Gunnar Hogland into the right field bleachers. He finished the night 2-for-4 with an intentional walk, two runs scored, and an RBI. Ohtani has five home runs in his last nine games and seven in his last 14. He is hitting .307 on the season after hitting .351 over his last nine games with a .541 ISO, a .540 wOBA, and 10 barrels during that nine-game stretch. Ohtani is on pace for 49 homers and 38 stolen bases in an impressive follow-up to his historic 2024. He remains an elite producer in all fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Andy Pages hit a solo home run in the second inning of Wednesday night's 9-3 win over the Athletics. Pages led off the second frame with a 417-foot blast to left field, which was one of his three hits on the night. He finished 3-for-4 with a walk, a strikeout, one run scored, and one RBI. On the season, Pages is hitting a solid .291 with his seven home runs, five stolen bases, and a .365 wOBA. The 24-year-old righty has five multi-hit games in his last 10 contests while going 15-for-44 (.341) with two doubles, a triple, and Wednesday's home run. After a slow start, he's become a very productive piece in the Dodgers' outfield, and he definitely is worth a look if he's on waiver wires in standard mixed leagues. His role as a regular in the productive Dodgers' lineup gives him a high floor, and his recent form gives him a very good ceiling as well.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher
Tarik Skubal allowed seven hits and five earned runs over 6 1/3 innings in his team's 6-5 win over the Boston Red Sox. He walked one and struck out 11, but did not factor into the decision. The 28-year-old was mostly superb, tossing 67 of 95 pitches for strikes and inducing 21 whiffs for an elite 38% CSW. He was initially in line for a quality start, but Boston strung together a few hits in the seventh and plated three runs that Skubal was on the hook for (two after he was pulled). Fortunately, he wasn't in danger of being saddled with a loss, but it's an outing he'll want to forget. Even with the sizable run total let up, the California native still holds an exceptional 2.67 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 71:6 K:BB ratio through his first nine starts (54 innings). He'll carry a 4-2 record into his next outing, which projects to come on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals early next week.

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Luke Sinnard struck out a season-high nine batters during his start against Low-A Columbia on Wednesday. In this outing, Sinnard logged six innings of work. He allowed no runs, three hits, and one walk. Through his first 23 2/3 innings of work at the Low-A level, Sinnard has held an impressive 0.77 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP. He has only allowed a run in two of his six starts. He has tallied 36 punchouts. However, he has struggled to command his pitches at times, as he has served up 11 walks. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as the third-round pick from last year's MLB Draft should be in the mix to join High-A later this season.

Colorado Rockies left-handed pitching prospect
Sean Sullivan logged five shutout innings during his Double-A season debut on Wednesday evening. Sullivan was sidelined during the start of the season after recovering from hip surgery. He made one start in the Arizona Complex League and with Low-A before getting the call to return to Double-A. On Wednesday, Sullivan allowed just two hits and no walks against Binghamton. He struck out three batters. This was a strong season debut for Sullivan. Last season, the southpaw logged 32 innings with Double-A Hartford and held a strong 1.97 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP. If he continues to find success, he should be in the mix to make his Triple-A debut early in the 2025 season.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect
Chase Burns struck out seven batters across five innings of one-run ball on Wednesday against Double-A Birmingham. In this outing, Burns allowed just two hits and no walks. Since joining Double-A Chattanooga, Burns has logged 19 innings to the tune of a stellar 1.89 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP. He has struck out 28 batters and served up just two free passes. Burns began his season with High-A and held a 3.02 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP across three starts before getting the call to Double-A. The Reds drafted Burns with the second pick in last year's MLB Draft. Given his current production at Double-A, Burns should be in the mix to join the majors later this season.
