Fantasy Impact: Phillips is dealing with a strained right hamstring. Fantasy managers should expect Phillips to throw multiple bullpen sessions before being activated and rejoining the Dodgers’ bullpen.

Fantasy Impact: Miller will likely begin a rehab assignment if he is able to get through Wednesday’s session without any issues. Fantasy managers should expect Miller to need multiple rehab starts before being activated.

Kike Hernandez went 1-for-2 with a home run and an RBI in the Dodgers' 6-4 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, marked by his second homer of the season, offers a slight glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been enduring his sluggish .220 batting average. Despite the home run, Hernandez's overall impact remains limited by his low walk rate (0.078) and unimpressive wOBA (.260). His power display is a positive sign, but with minimal contributions in other categories, he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats. Managers should keep expectations in check unless he shows consistent improvements.

Will Smith went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in the Dodgers' 6-4 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a crucial double that helped pad the Dodgers' lead, though he didn't cross the plate himself. Smith's consistent batting average of .309 this season, coupled with his solid wOBA of .356, reinforces his value as a reliable fantasy option, especially in leagues that value catchers who contribute significantly in RBI and hitting metrics.

Mookie Betts went 2-for-5 in the Dodgers' 6-4 victory over the Giants, including a home run, two runs scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Betts's consistent contribution to the Dodgers' lineup, maintaining an impressive .341 batting average through 43 games. His power display, marked by his seventh homer of the season, continues to solidify his status as a top-tier fantasy outfielder. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, from power to average, makes him a cornerstone player for fantasy managers.

J.P. Feyereisen locked down his first save of the season in the Dodgers' 6-4 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: He pitched a scoreless inning, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out one batter. Despite this solid performance, Feyereisen's season has been rocky, with a bloated 7.71 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP over his appearances. Fantasy managers should remain cautious; while saves are valuable, his overall instability could hurt more than help in ERA and WHIP categories.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Monday's 6-4 win against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: Despite this less-than-stellar performance, Yamamoto's season stats remain strong, boasting a 3.21 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP through nine starts. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts for signs of regression or if he can bounce back to his early-season form.

Fantasy Impact: Ohtani is back after sitting out Sunday due to back tightness, occupying the designated hitter spot and batting second against the Giants for manager Dave Roberts Monday.

James Paxton delivered a masterful performance in the Dodgers' 5-0 victory over the Padres on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: He threw 95 pitches across six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and striking out four without issuing a walk. This outing not only secured his fifth win of the season but also showcased his ability to control the game effectively, a significant improvement given his prior 5.00 FIP and modest 5.2 K/9 rate. While his season-long WHIP of 1.41 and low strikeout-to-walk ratio might raise some eyebrows, performances like this could hint at a positive regression. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Paxton's next outings, as his ability to limit walks and maintain a low ERA could make him a valuable asset, especially in deeper leagues.

Teoscar Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the Dodgers' 5-0 win over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact: His lone hit, a home run, was crucial in securing the victory and padding his RBI total for the season. Despite a modest .258 batting average, Hernandez's power continues to be an asset, with 11 homers and 33 RBI through 41 games. His high strikeout rate (0.298) remains a concern, but his ability to drive in runs and hit for power keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. Owners should continue to value him for his home run and RBI potential, though his batting average and on-base skills may limit his ceiling.

Freddie Freeman had a productive outing in the Dodgers' 5-0 win over the Padres, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Freeman's consistent ability to contribute significantly to both his real and fantasy teams. With a season batting average now over .300 and a solid wOBA of .386, Freeman remains a high-value asset in fantasy lineups. His power numbers, though not overwhelming, are complemented by his ability to hit doubles and maintain a healthy BABIP, suggesting sustained performance. Fantasy managers should continue to view Freeman as a reliable starting option, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits and on-base percentage.

Fantasy Impact: Heyward is scheduled to play Tuesday and Wednesday before being re-evaluated with the team. Based on the currently play of Andy Pages, Heyward does not have a clear role on the Dodgers’ roster once he returns.

Tyler Glasnow delivered a masterful performance in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed just one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings. Despite his dominant outing, Glasnow's efforts weren't enough to secure a win due to minimal run support from the Dodgers' lineup. This season, Glasnow has been a fantasy gem with a stellar 2.53 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP across nine starts. His high strikeout rate (11.5 K/9) continues to make him a top-tier fantasy option, and his ability to limit base runners and control games is evident. Moving forward, expect him to remain a strong anchor in any fantasy rotation, especially with his consistent ability to rack up strikeouts and maintain low scoring lines.

Daniel Hudson delivered a flawless performance on Wednesday, tossing a clean inning with zero hits, walks, or runs, and striking out one against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a season where Hudson has maintained a solid 3.38 ERA and an impressive 0.88 WHIP. His ability to suppress hits, as evidenced by a .225 BABIP, and his exceptional 17.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, highlight his effectiveness in high-leverage situations. Given these metrics, Hudson remains a reliable option in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that value holds and strikeouts. His consistent performance should keep him as a key component of the Dodgers' bullpen strategy, making him a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking for steady relief contributions.

Gavin Stone delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on six hits across seven innings in the Dodgers' 3-1 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: He struck out four without issuing a walk. This outing continues a solid season for Stone, who now boasts a 2.61 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP through eight starts. His control was particularly impressive in this game, maintaining a clean sheet in walks and managing the Marlins' lineup efficiently. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (6.4 K/9), Stone's ability to limit walks and keep runners off base paths significantly bolsters his fantasy value, especially in formats that reward WHIP and ERA. His consistent performance suggests he could be a reliable mid-rotation starter for fantasy teams, particularly in deeper leagues.

Austin Barnes is in the starting lineup for the Dodgers Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Barnes will take over behind the plate Wednesday for a resting Will Smith. He is hitting .231 with two RBI so far this season.

Gavin Lux is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Lux will get a day off with the Marlins starting left-hander Ryan Weathers. Miguel Rojas will man second base and hit eighth.

Miguel Rojas is in the Dodgers’ lineup Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Rojas will man second base and hit eighth against left-hander Ryan Weathers. He is hitting .273 with two home runs and six RBI so far this season.

Max Muncy had a productive day at the plate during the Dodgers' 8-2 victory over the Marlins, going 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and four RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Muncy's ability to contribute significantly for the Dodgers. His season-long stats, including a .263 batting average and nine home runs, make him a solid power-hitting option at third base. While his strikeout rate remains high, his consistent RBI production and slugging ability should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.

James Outman went 1-for-4 in the Dodgers' 6-3 victory over the Marlins, contributing with a home run and two RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the home run, Outman's season continues to be a struggle, with a batting average lingering at .169 through 29 games. His power numbers are modest, with three homers and 10 RBI, but his high strikeout rate (.307) and low BABIP (.218) suggest he's been both unlucky and overmatched at the plate. Fantasy managers should view Outman as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues for potential sporadic power surges, but his current form doesn't warrant widespread roster consideration.
