Erick Fedde SP | CHW
White Sox's Erick Fedde: Tosses six innings in bulk role
Fedde (0-2) took the loss in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles. He allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings.
Following opener Grant Taylor, Fedde worked through six frames with limited damage, though a quiet night from the White Sox offense left him with the loss. Coming off a poor 2025 campaign in which he posted a 5.49 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 32 regular-season appearances (141 innings) between St. Louis, Atlanta and Milwaukee, the right-hander is off to a decent start in 2026 with a 4.09 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through two outings and 11 innings. His next appearance is on track to come Saturday against the Royals, though it remains to be seen whether he starts or works behind an opener again.

Dalton Rushing C | LAD
Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Career-best effort in win
Rushing went 4-for-4 with a two solo home runs and an additional run scored in Monday's win over the Blue Jays.
It was the first career multi-homer game out of Rushing, who also racked up a career-high four knocks Monday. The backstop is off to a ridiculous start in limited action, having gone 6-for-9 with three long balls in his first three appearances, but his pathway to steady reps is blocked by Will Smith at catcher. Rushing remains likely to mostly fill in behind the dish on occasions when Smith needs a breather.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Carried to victory Monday
Feltner (1-0) earned the win over Houston on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 5.1 innings.
Feltner was far from his sharpest and looked to be in line for the loss after finishing his fifth inning of work with a 3-0 deficit, but Colorado exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the fifth frame to move the right-hander into position for his first win. Feltner managed just one punchout and got only three whiffs among his 70 pitches, so fantasy managers probably don't need to seek him out on the waiver wire. Feltner will carry a 4.32 ERA through 8.1 frames into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in San Diego.

Teoscar Hernandez LF | LAD
Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Stays hot with another homer
Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's win over Toronto.
Hernandez blasted his second homer of the season after also going deep Sunday against the Nationals, extending his hitting streak to six games in the process. The 33-year-old outfielder is showing no signs of slowing down in the early going, batting .353 with seven RBI, one double and one stolen base across his first 34 at-bats of the campaign.

Brandon Young SP | BAL
Orioles' Brandon Young: Delivers five shutout frames
Young (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings against the White Sox. He struck out two.
Young was called up from Triple-A Norfolk to make his first MLB start of the season and delivered strong results, holding the White Sox scoreless and picking up the win. The right-hander saw extended opportunities as a rookie last season but struggled, posting a 6.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 12 starts and 57.2 innings. With Zach Eflin (elbow) on the shelf and Young turning in a positive outing Monday, the 27-year-old could be in line for another start over the weekend, though Dean Kremer remains a viable alternative to enter the rotation.

Justin Wrobleski SP | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Works around control issues in win
Wrobleski (1-0) notched the win Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Making his first start of the season, the left-hander managed to keep the Toronto bats in check throughout the evening. Wrobleski still hardly showcased very much overpowering stuff -- he fanned just two and produced only five whiffs -- and he also showed poor control while walking four. If the Dodgers indeed maintain a six-man rotation going forward, Wrobleski should next take the ball next week against a Mets team that will be without superstar slugger Juan Soto (calf).

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Cardinals' Ramon Urias: Swats second homer
Urias went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Nationals.
It was the second homer of the season for Urias, totaled a season-high three RBI on Monday. The infielder is still likely to see most of his playing time versus left-handers going forward despite drawing a start against right-hander Zack Littell, as JJ Wetherholt and Nolan Gorman figure to see the bulk of the reps at second and third base, respectively, in 2026.

Zack Littell SP | WAS
Nationals' Zack Littell: Fans six in first start
Littell didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six.
Littell coughed up three runs to the Phillies in first appearance of the season as a reliever, but he showed improvement as a starter Monday. The right-hander yielded a lone extra-base hit but was able to throw only 70 pitches, the latter of which is likely because he didn't sign with the Nationals until early March. Littell tentatively lines up to face the Brewers in his next scheduled start over the weekend, and he'll be hoping to further stretch himself out.

Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Experiences minor knee discomfort
DeGrom didn't factor into the decision after allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out six across five innings Monday against the Mariners. After the game, deGrom noted that he felt tenderness in his knee, and the team elected not to send him back out for the sixth inning as a result, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
DeGrom mentioned after his appearance that he felt something in his knee before Monday's start, and it didn't work itself out while he was on the bump. The club was pleased with how he looked over five innings of work and didn't want to push him too hard given the fact that his knee wasn't feeling 100 percent. "I feel okay, it's a little tender, but I think we'll be okay," said deGrom, per McFarland. It doesn't appear as though fantasy managers should be overly concerned at this point, though it'll be worth keeping an eye on the right-hander's status leading up to his next start, which tentatively lines up for Sunday against the Dodgers.

Andre Pallante SP | STL
Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Lacks control in no-decision
Pallante didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out two.
After throwing five scoreless innings against the Mets in his season debut, Pallante ran into some tougher sledding Monday. While he did hold the Nationals to just three knocks, the right-hander walked at least four batters for the ninth time in his career. The 27-year-old right-hander boasts a 1.80 ERA through 10 innings so far, but his 5:7 K:BB is a far greater concern heading into his next scheduled outing versus the Red Sox.
