Los Angeles Dodgers

Landon Knack delivered a strong performance in the Dodgers' 11-2 rout of the Nationals on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings, earning his first win of the season. This outing was a significant improvement for Knack, who entered the game with a 3.60 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP from his previous start. His ability to maintain a low hit rate and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 4.00 in this game suggests potential for reliable starts in the future.

Andy Pages went 3-for-5 in the Dodgers' 11-2 victory over the Nationals with a home run, a double, three runs scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marked a significant upturn for Pages, who had been struggling with a meager .182 prior to this game. Fantasy managers should take note of this game as a potential indicator of Pages finding his rhythm at the plate, but given his high strikeout rate and low walk rate thus far, caution in expecting consistent production is advised.

Will Smith went 4-for-6 with a double and two runs scored in the Dodgers' 11-2 rout of the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included driving in a run, which adds to his solid season tally. Smith's consistent hitting has been a boon for fantasy managers, especially with a batting average that has now climbed to .352 over 23 games. While the lack of home runs might be a concern for those needing power stats, his high average and ability to drive in runs should keep him relevant in most leagues.

Mookie Betts went 4-for-6 with a double and two RBIs in the Dodgers' 11-2 rout of the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included scoring two runs, though he didn't manage to add any home runs or stolen bases to his tally. This game is a clear indicator of Betts's consistent hitting prowess, as he maintains a robust .365 batting average through 26 games this season. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, including power and speed, makes him a top-tier fantasy asset.

Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-6 with three doubles and two RBI in the Dodgers' 11-2 rout of the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: His performance highlighted his consistent ability to drive in runs and hit for extra bases. Ohtani's season batting average remains impressive at .371, and his knack for hitting doubles (now totaling 14 for the season) continues to bolster his fantasy value. While he didn't add to his home run tally in this game, his consistent contact and power at the plate make him a top fantasy asset.

Fantasy Impact: Roberts added “It’s going to be a long program” to get him back. Graterol’s setback likely means there will not be a timetable for his return and fantasy managers should consider it will be well after his first eligible date of May 18.

Fantasy Impact: Outman returns after receiving Tuesday night off for manager Dave Roberts, starting in center field and batting seventh against the Nationals Wednesday.

Evan Phillips secured his seventh save of the season, navigating through a shaky inning where he allowed one hit and three walks while striking out two in the Dodgers' 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the walks, Phillips managed to keep his ERA impressively low at 0.93, reinforcing his role as a reliable closer for the Dodgers. His WHIP now sits at 1.24, which, while decent, suggests some volatility given the number of baserunners he allowed in this outing.

Fantasy Impact: Heyward is dealing with “residual soreness” in his back. According to Roberts, Heyward is still more than a week away from a rehab assignment.

Fantasy Impact: Treinen is set to pitch in his first game since suffering a bruised lung in March. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran to still need a lengthy rehab assignment.

Tyler Glasnow allowed seven hits over eight scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts against the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: Glasnow dominated the Mets all afternoon, working around seven hits. He now carries a 2.92 ERA on the season.

Walker Buehler (elbow) will make his next rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City. (Source: Mike DiGiovanna on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Manager Dave Roberts stated over the weekend that Buehler would need another rehab start to show improved command. Fantasy managers should expect Buehler to join the Dodgers soon if he can improve on his last rehab start.

Gavin Stone struggled in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Mets, allowing two earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out only one over 3 1/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact: This performance was a step back in what has been a rocky start to the season, with his ERA now ballooning to 6.00 and a WHIP that remains uncomfortably high at 1.78. Stone's control issues were on full display, and his inability to limit walks is a growing concern for fantasy managers. Given his high BABIP of .351, some bad luck has played a role, but the lack of command is a more pressing issue. Fantasy managers should be cautious with Stone moving forward, as his high FIP of 3.15 suggests some underlying struggles that need to be addressed before he can be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Freddie Freeman went 2-for-3 with three RBI in the Dodgers' 6-4 loss to the Mets.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's defeat, Freeman's performance was a bright spot, contributing significantly with two hits and driving in three runs, though he didn't score or steal any bases himself. This game underscores Freeman's consistent ability to get on base and drive in runs, as evidenced by his solid .274 batting average and .341 wOBA for the season. His approach at the plate remains disciplined, maintaining a healthy walk rate of .146. Fantasy managers should continue to value Freeman highly, especially in formats that reward on-base percentage and RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Muncy is back after sitting out against left-handed starting pitching Friday night, batting fifth and starting at third base against the Mets Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Miller is on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. If he is able to get through playing catch without any issues, the next step would be throwing a bullpen session and beginning a ramp up period.

Fantasy Impact: Ramirez will take the roster spot of Kyle Hurt, who is going on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. He will provide depth in the Dodgers’ bullpen.

Fantasy Impact: Hurt was pitching well for the Dodgers, registering a 1.35 ERA in three appearances. Nick Ramirez will take Hurt’s spot on the roster.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a mixed performance, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine over six innings in the Dodgers' 9-4 loss to the Mets on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the loss, Yamamoto's high strikeout count continues to be a silver lining for fantasy managers. His season ERA now sits at 4.50 with a solid 1.14 WHIP, and his impressive 12.3 K/9 rate remains enticing for those in need of strikeouts. The right-hander's ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio and a reasonable BABIP suggests he could be due for better outcomes in future outings. Fantasy managers should continue to trust the right-hander when he starts on the mound as the season progresses.
