Fantasy Baseball Player News

Cam Smith, Houston Astros

Houston Astros outfielder Cam Smith is off to a scorching start this season. He is slashing .297/.422/.595 with three home runs, six RBI, nine runs, and three stolen bases across nine games. The 23-year-old is currently on a seven-game hitting streak and has homered twice in the last three contests. His wOBA has increased from .298 to .399 compared to last season, while his hard-hit percentage has gone up from 40.8% to 47.8%, and his K% has decreased from 27.8% to 25%.

Smith is Houston's starting right fielder, and his hot start has kept his bat in a potent Astros lineup that includes Yordan Alvarez, Jeremy Pena, and Jose Altuve. He has moved to the No. 1 spot on the RotoBaller waiver wire rankings list for Week 2 and has become a must-add due to his hot start. Only rostered in 37% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues, Smith should be a priority for fantasy managers searching for outfield help.

Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Anaheim against the visiting Atlanta Braves, per MLB.com. Trout had an injury scare in Sunday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners on Easter Sunday, but thankfully, X-rays came back negative, and he's only dealing with a left-hand contusion.

It sounds like Trout, who has been on the injured list frequently in recent seasons, dodged a bullet and will avoid an early-season trip to the IL. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday to see if he's back in action at Angels Stadium against Atlanta. Bryce Teodosio is starting in center field on Monday and will hit eighth against Braves All-Star left-hander Chris Sale. Fantasy managers will want to avoid Teodosio in DFS with Sale on the bump.

Trout has cooled off a bit at the plate after starting strong during opening week with a pair of home runs and stolen bases.
