Injury Report

 Travis d'Arnaud is being placed on the 7 day IL with a concussion. The veteran catcher sustained the injury when Rougned Odor collided with him at home plate. Hopefully d'Arnaud will be back soon, but in the meantime Sean Murphy will serve as the starting catcher almost everyday.

Garrett Whitlock will officially make his season debut against the Rays on Tuesday. The righty has been sidelined with a hip injury since the end of March but looks to be healthy and ready to get into action. This will be a much needed arm for the Red Sox as they can use all the pitching help they can get.

Tyler Glasnow threw a flat ground bullpen yesterday. The Rays starter has been sidelined with an oblique injury since late February so it is a good sign to see he is throwing in some capacity. Glasnow has been very injury prone over the last few season so I'm sure the Rays will be taking every precaution they can, especially when they are off to an 8-0 start. Glasnow will probably be able to make his way back to the big leagues sometime in May. 

Notable Performances

Justin Steele got his first win of the season in a Cubs 10-3 win over the Rangers. The lefty struggled with his command, walking 4 batters, but managed to keep the damage to 1 ER while having 3 K's through 6 innings. The 27 year old has been impressive thus far and is rostered shockingly in only 37.1% of ESPN fantasy leagues.

Rafael Devers had a monster day at the plate going 2-4 with 2 HR's and 5 RBI's. The lefty is enjoying hitting against the Tigers as just a day prior he went 2-4 with a HR. After being named to his second All Star team last season, Devers looks to continue to establish himself as one of the best 3B in fantasy.

Nick Lodolo got a tough no decision as he threw 7 scoreless innings with 12 K's against the Phillies. The 25 year old has been a great source of strikeouts this season with a total of 21 through his first 2 starts. The lefty is continuing to follow up a great spring as he works his way up the fantasy rankings.
