Willson Contreras Back From Wrist Injury on Tuesday
Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras (wrist) is starting at first base and batting cleanup for Tuesday's contest against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Shane Baz at Fenway Park, according to MLB.com. Contreras ended up just missing Sunday's contest with a hand/wrist injury, and he'll return after a scheduled day off for the team on Monday. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the former catcher can pick up where he left off to close out May. The 34-year-old Venezuelan right-handed slugger hit an impressive .408 (20-for-49) with three home runs, a double, two triples, 10 RBI, and seven runs scored in 14 games from May 16 to May 31. Contreras is enjoying 2026 so far, slashing .286/.384/.505 overall with an .889 OPS, 11 home runs, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 196 at-bats in Beantown. He's gone hitless in just two career at-bats versus Baz, but he should be returned to all starting lineups in traditional fantasy leagues now that he's back in the starting nine.
