  • Jordan Walker RF | STL

    Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Goes yard in three-hit effort

    Walker went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and two additional runs scored Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Rays.

    Walker turned in his eighth career game with at least three hits, smashing his first homer of the year in the process. The 23-year-old was once one of the top prospects in all of baseball, and he profiles as a post-hype sleeper of sorts during his fourth season in the big leagues in 2026. Walker is set to be St. Louis' everyday right fielder moving forward, but he may need to move up a bit in the batting order to increase his fantasy upside.

  • Joey Wiemer CF | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Wiemer: Homers again Sunday

    Wiemer went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, a triple, a walk and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.

    It was the first career triple for Wiemer, who's off to an impressive start with his new club. The 27-year-old has gone a perfect 6-for-6 with a pair of long balls in two appearances for the Nationals so far. Jacob Young's standout defense may be enough to keep him in the top spot in center field, but Wiemer is capable of playing the entire outfield and is pushing for more at-bats in the early going.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Clutch homer in Sunday's win

    Yelich smacked a three-run home run during the Brewers' 9-7 win over the White Sox on Sunday.

    The lefty-hitting Yelich opened Sunday's game on the bench due to the White Sox sending southpaw Anthony Kay to the mound for the series finale. Yelich was brought in as a pinch hitter in the eighth frame, and he finished off the Brewers' six-run inning with a towering, three-run home run to right field. He is off to a terrific start to the 2026 campaign, going 6-for-10 with five RBI and one steal over his first three games.

  • Ian Happ LF | CHC

    Cubs' Ian Happ: Homers again Sunday

    Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.

    Happ and Alex Bregman accounted for all of Chicago's offense Sunday, with Bregman going deep twice and Happ once. For the latter, it was his second long ball in as many games. Happ is locked in as the Cubs' No. 3 hitter most days, and with a strong lineup around him that was boosted by the offseason addition of Bregman to bat second, the veteran outfielder could be in store for an excellent fantasy campaign.

  • Jordan Beck OF | COL

    Rockies' Jordan Beck: Drives in three runs Sunday

    Beck went 1-for-4 with a three-run double during Sunday's 4-3 loss to Miami.

    Beck provided the Rockies all of their runs in the first inning with a bases-clearing, three-run double to left field off Max Meyer. Beck has gone 2-for-7 with four RBI and a walk over his first two games of the regular season. He's looking to improve on his 2025 campaign, when he posted a .733 OPS with 19 steals (on 27 attempts), five triples, 16 home runs and 53 RBI across 587 plate appearances.

  • Owen Caissie OF | MIA

    Marlins' Owen Caissie: Walks off Colorado

    Caissie went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Marlins' 4-3 win over the Rockies on Sunday.

    The lefty-hitting Caissie opened Sunday's game on the bench due to the Rockies sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound. Caissie entered the game in the eighth inning but had another at-bat in the ninth, and he sent Marlins fans home happy after his walk-off, two-run homer to right-center field. Through his first three games with Miami, Caissie has gone 5-for-10 with two doubles, one steal and four RBI.

  • Nathan Church OF | STL

    Cardinals' Nathan Church: On bench against southpaw

    Church is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Church had started against right-handed pitchers in the Cardinals' first two games of the season, going 3-for-8 with two runs and two RBI. However, with southpaw Steven Matz on the bump for the Rays in the series finale, the left-handed-hitting Church will cede left field to Thomas Saggese.

  • Jung Hoo Lee CF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Doubles in loss

    Lee went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.

    Lee shifted to the leadoff spot Saturday and doubled in the third inning before coming around to score San Francisco's lone run. He also drew a walk in the fifth. The 27-year-old outfielder has struggled to begin the campaign, going 1-for-10 with two strikeouts across three games.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Resting Sunday

    Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    With Milwaukee wrapping up its season-opening series with a day game and a lefty (Anthony Kay) on the hill for the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Yelich will get a breather. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup at designated hitter in place of Yelich, who went 5-for-9 with a walk, a stolen base, three runs and two RBI in Milwaukee's first two games.

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Idle Sunday

    Mitchell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Mitchell has started the season strong with two hits, three walks, two stolen bases, three RBI and two runs through the Brewers' first two games, but he'll hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Christian Yelich, Jake Bauers and David Hamilton as Milwaukee stocks up on extra right-handed bats to counter White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay. Blake Perkins will cover center field in Mitchell's place Sunday.
