Los Angeles Dodgers

Mookie Betts went 3-for-5 with two RBI in the Dodgers' win over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact: Despite not scoring or adding extra-base hits, Betts's performance was crucial in securing the victory. The 31-year-old continues a strong start at the plate, collecting hits in 14 of 17 games for the Dodgers. The versatile slugger continues to provide fantasy managers with elite production on a consistent basis at the top of a star-studded Dodgers lineup for manager Dave Roberts, posting a robust .364 batting average with six home runs, 20 runs scored, and 16 runs batted in so far this season.

Teoscar Hernandez went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Dodgers' narrow 8-7 defeat to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the loss, Hernandez's two-run shot adds to a solid start to the season, driving in runs in five of 10 games so far this month for the Dodgers. The 31-year-old flashes prolific power at the plate and adds another impactful option to an already productive Dodgers lineup for manager Dave Roberts.

Fantasy Impact: Lamet passed through waivers after being DFA'd but will remain with the organization after going unclaimed. The former Padres starter has worked 4 1/3 innings of one-run ball to this point with the Dodgers this season.

In a game that could have easily slipped through the cracks, Evan Phillips turned in a masterclass of relief pitching, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers secure a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Fantasy Impact: With a crisp 11-pitch inning, Phillips not only notched his 4th save of the young season with no blown saves. His performance on Monday night was a textbook example of efficiency and control, allowing no hits, no walks, and striking out one. This outing further cements his role as a reliable closer for the Dodgers, a boon for fantasy managers who took a chance on him.

He will likely serve as infield depth in spring camp for the star-studded Dodgers.
