Fantasy Impact: His ongoing struggles at the plate continue to raise concerns for fantasy managers, as he now holds a disappointing .100 batting average through six games this season.

Fantasy managers may want to consider alternative options at catcher until he shows signs of improvement.

Julio Rodriguez went 0-for-2 in loss to the Tigers with two walks and one strikeout.

Fantasy Impact: His ongoing struggles at the plate continue to be a concern, as he holds a disappointing .211 batting average through six games this season. While his ability to draw walks is a positive sign, the high strikeout rate of 0.320 indicates he is not making consistent contact. Fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely, as he needs to improve his hitting to be a reliable contributor moving forward.

Victor Robles went 1-for-4 in loss to the Tigers with no runs, no RBI, and no stolen bases.

Fantasy Impact: His performance continues to highlight ongoing struggles, as he holds a disappointing .208 batting average and a low .226 wOBA through the first six games of the season. With no home runs and only one run scored, Robles is not providing the offensive spark fantasy managers hoped for, making him a risky play until he can find some consistency at the plate.

Fantasy Impact: Olson was hit hard for four runs in 4 2/3 innings in his season debut against the Dodgers. He will look to bounce back this weekend against the White Sox.


Kerry Carpenter went 1-for-2 in the win over the Mariners with one RBI and one run scored.

Fantasy Impact: While his batting average sits at a modest .267, Carpenter's lack of power and plate discipline—evidenced by zero walks and a 0.250 strikeout rate—suggests he may struggle to provide consistent fantasy value moving forward. Fantasy managers should temper expectations until he shows more ability to get on base and drive in runs.

Spencer Torkelson went 1-for-4 in win over the Mariners with one RBI and a double.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the modest hit total, Torkelson's strong start to the season, highlighted by a .389 batting average and impressive .501 wOBA, suggests he could be a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. However, his high strikeout rate of 0.304 raises concerns about consistency, making him a player to monitor closely as the season progresses.

Riley Greene went 2-for-4 in the win over the Mariners with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marks a positive step for Greene, who has shown flashes of power early in the season with two home runs in just five games. However, his high strikeout rate of 43.5% raises concerns about his consistency at the plate. Fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely, as he has the potential to contribute significantly if he can improve his plate discipline.

Zach McKinstry went 1-for-4 in the win over the Mariners with one run scored and one stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: While McKinstry's performance was modest, his ability to swipe a bag adds some intrigue to his fantasy value, especially in deeper leagues where speed is at a premium. However, with a batting average hovering around .235 and limited power, his overall contributions may not be enough to warrant a spot in standard formats unless he can find more consistency at the plate.

Fantasy Impact: Cannon will open the weekend series against Detroit. He threw five scoreless innings in his season debut against the Angels.


Kyle Tucker went 2-for-3 in win over the Athletics with a home run, a double, three runs scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker's impressive performance continues to bolster his strong start to the season, as he now boasts a .353 batting average and a robust .527 wOBA through eight games. His ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, and with a low strikeout rate, he appears poised for sustained success moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: Flaherty allowed two runs across 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision in his season debut against the Dodgers. He draws a more favorable matchup in his second start of the season.


Ian Happ went 0-for-4 in the win over the Athletics, but managed to drive in one run and score another.

Fantasy Impact: His ongoing difficulties at the plate are reflected in a disappointing .156 batting average and a low .269 wOBA through the first eight games of the season. With only five hits in 32 at-bats and a concerning 0.175 walk rate, fantasy managers should be cautious about relying on him until he shows signs of improvement.

Shea Langeliers went 2-for-4 in loss to the Cubs with a home run and two RBI.

Fantasy Impact: While his performance showcased some power, his season-long struggles are evident with a .222 batting average and a low .167 BABIP. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as Langeliers has yet to find consistent contact, evidenced by his 0.100 walk rate and 0.200 strikeout rate. If he can build on this game, he may become a more reliable option, but for now, he's best viewed as a low-end catcher in deeper leagues.

JJ Bleday went 1-for-3 with a walk in the loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the hit, Bleday's batting average remains a lackluster .227 through six games, and he has yet to show much power or speed, with only one extra-base hit and no stolen bases. His low wOBA of .274 indicates he’s not making consistent contact, which could limit his fantasy value unless he finds a way to improve his production. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance, but for now, Bleday is not a reliable option in most formats.

Fantasy Impact: Siri sits Wednesday after starting the Mets' previous game.


Lawrence Butler went 1-for-4 in the loss to the Cubs, scoring one run.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the hit, Butler's season-long numbers remain concerning, with a .182 batting average and no RBIs through six games. His lack of power and inability to drive in runs limit his fantasy appeal, making him a risky option in deeper leagues until he shows signs of improvement.

Luisangel Acuña is not in the starting lineup for the Mets against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact: Acuña sits Wednesday after starting the Mets' previous game.


Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-2 in loss to the Dodgers with one run scored and two walks.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the lack of power and RBI production, Ozuna's ability to draw walks is noteworthy, contributing to a solid on-base percentage. However, his batting average remains low, and he has yet to hit a home run this season. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance as he seeks to improve his consistency at the plate.
