Don't strikeout on setting your fantasy baseball lineup! Remember to check your roster before first pitch.

Injury Report

Michael Harris ll is expected to return on Monday from the 10 day IL. He has had some back problems after slamming into the outfield wall but looks to be 100% as he is returning in the minimum amount of time. The Braves will love having him back in centerfield as he is a lockdown defender and key part of their offense.

Jeffrey Springs will be taking a long trip to the IL after being diagnosed with ulnar neuritis in his left arm. He is expected to miss at least two month which is a tough blow for the Rays. Springs has been fantastic this year, giving up just 1 run in his 3 starts. Hopefully when he comes back he will be able to pick up right where he left off.

Max Fried will likely return to action early next week for the Braves. The lefty has been on the IL since his first start after straining his hamstring but will be ready to go very soon. The Braves have been playing great and with the return of their co-ace they look to get even better.

Notable Performances

Vaughn Grissom went 1-3 with a 2B and an RBI in his season debut. While this is most definitely not a notable performance, it is worth noting that Grissom got called up to join the Braves. After a successful spring, some were surprised when he was sent down. He is rostered in 35.9% of ESPN leagues and is worth a pickup if available. He has hit .366 with 1 HR and 2 SB's in 10 minor league games this season.

Rowdy Tellez went 2-5 with 2 HR's and 4 RBI's in the Brewers 11-2 win against the Padres. That brings the power hitting lefty to 5 HR's for the season. He has never been much of a hitter for average so fantasy managers need the HR's to keep coming to keep some sort of fantasy relevance.

Trevor Rogers went 7 innings giving up 1 run with 7 K's in route to a 5-1 Marlins win over the Diamondbacks. This performance brought back flashes of his 2021 season in which he finished 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting. This is the first time this season the 25 year old has thrown more than 5 innings but if he can get into a groove, he can make a decent matchup based starting option.
