Fantasy Impact: The 23-year-old was designated for assignment by Baltimore earlier in the week. The Reds have optioned him to Triple-A Louisville.

Anthony Santander went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Orioles' 4-2 win over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed to the team's victory, marking his fourth homer of the season. Despite the power display, Santander's overall performance this season has been underwhelming with a .203 batting average and 15 strikeouts through 17 games. His low BABIP of .196 suggests some bad luck, but the lack of consistent contact and minimal walks raise concerns.

Grayson Rodriguez delivered a strong performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in Tuesday's 11-3 victory over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a solid start to the season for Rodriguez, who now boasts a 2.63 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP through his first four starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.1 K/9) while keeping his walks relatively in check contributes positively to his fantasy value. His performance today, backed by a strong offensive support, only cements his status as a rising asset in fantasy leagues.

I heard that he was a plus defender, he’s been showing that so far.” He went through three minor league levels with Baltimore last season, finishing the year in High-A where he stole 25 bases in 25 games, while hitting .291 with 26 walks. “I thought it was a great experience to get out there, to meet the guys in the organization and to start seeing the way the Baltimore Orioles, what we do as an organization,” Bradfield said of his first taste of professional baseball. “Learning about the processes to get ready for the big leagues ... at each level it intensifies.” The 2025 season is likely the target for Bradfield Jr. to make his MLB debut.
