Jansen allowed two hits in a scoreless inning during Tuesday's win against the Rays. He struck out two and earned a save.

Jansen recorded three straight outs to close up the 4-3 win after the Rays put runners on second and third to start the ninth inning. It was his third save of the year and first since March 30. Jansen tossed 15 of 20 pitches for strikes and generated five whiffs. He's thrown five straight scoreless innings to begin the 2025 season.

Lucas (2-0) yielded three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Red Sox.

Lucas dominated on his way to a second straight win Tuesday. He allowed only one runner to reach scoring position while racking up a career-high eight punchouts. He threw 57 of 82 pitches and generated 12 swinging strikes. Lucas has thrown 10.1 shutout frames with an 11:3 K:BB in two starts. He's currently in line to start in Baltimore this weekend.

Crochet (1-1) yielded four runs (one earned) on five hits and four walks over 5.2 innings Tuesday, striking out five and taking a loss against Toronto.

Crochet rolled through five scoreless frames before unraveling in the sixth inning. He coughed up a solo homer to George Springer before the Blue Jays scored three unearned runs in the inning. Crochet threw a career-high 107 pitches (65 strikes) and forced 11 whiffs. Despite the shaky performance, he owns a 1.45 ERA with a 17:7 K:BB through three starts. Crochet's next outing is projected to be on the road for his first career matchup against the White Sox.

Bichette went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a walk in Tuesday's win over Boston.

Bichette knocked a two-run single in the sixth inning and added another RBI base hit in the eighth. He's already produced five multi-hit performances through 12 games this season; it took him 20 games to reach that mark to begin 2024. Bichette is now slashing .314/.375/.392 with four extra-base hits and seven RBI through 56 plate appearances.

Corbin didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with no strikeouts in four innings.

Corbin had a rough second inning in his Rangers debut, giving up a leadoff homer to Dansby Swanson and a two-run single to Seiya Suzuki. The veteran left-hander tossed three scoreless innings otherwise, and he was able to throw 74 pitches before his night came to an end. Corbin could have some deep-league streaming appeal at home against the Angels in his next scheduled start, which lines up for early next week.

Langford was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to right oblique tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Langford was replaced in the field after striking out swinging to end the top of the seventh inning, and he appears to have tweaked the oblique during that at-bat. He's slated to receive an MRI on Wednesday to determine the extent of the damage, per Landry, but Langford said after the game that he isn't too concerned about his latest injury since it doesn't feel as bad as the left oblique strain he suffered during spring training. If Langford ends up missing any amount of time, Josh Smith and Kevin Pillar would be in the running for additional playing time in the outfield. The Rangers could also call up Dustin Harris from Triple-A Round Rock to provide another option who's capable of playing all three outfield spots.

Lopez was removed from his start in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Royals due to right hamstring tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He struck out six and gave up an unearned run on three hits and one walk across 4.2 innings while taking a no-decision.

Lopez walked off the field under his own power after suffering the injury, but the Twins won't know the extent of the issue until he undergoes an MRI on Wednesday. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Tigers over the weekend, but if Lopez is forced to go on the injured list, Zebby Matthews would likely be in line for a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace him in the rotation.

Canha was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to left hip soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports

Canha ran into the outfield wall while attempting to catch a flyball in the fifth inning. He remained in the game immediately after the incident but was replaced on defense when the Royals took the field in the top of the sixth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Lopez left his start Tuesday against Kansas City in the fifth inning due to an apparent right leg injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

After he was visited on the mound by a trainer, Lopez was able to walk off the field under his own power. Lopez was pitching well before exiting, allowing just one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings. The Twins will likely provide an update on his status after the game.

The Astros recalled Sousa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

Sousa won't be available for Tuesday's game against Seattle, but he's in line to join Houston's bullpen to replace Rafael Montero, who was traded to Atlanta. Sousa missed all of last season due to thoracic outlet surgery but has looked good in four Triple-A outings this season, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out five batters across five shutout frames.
