Ohtani went 1-for-4 with two walks, two runs and a stolen base in a 12-3 win against the Rockies on Monday.
Ohtani singled in the third inning to extend his on-base streak to 52 games and reached base twice more before the game was over. Of significance for fantasy managers who roster the two-way star, Ohtani also attempted his first stolen base of the season and successfully made it into second base. The reigning NL MVP has been somewhat quiet in the power department with a modest (by his standards) five homers and 11 RBI through 22 games, but he's also logged a .402 OBP and .908 OPS while recording a 0.50 ERA and 0.72 WHIP with an 18:6 K:BB over 18 innings on the mound, so he's done plenty to help Los Angeles achieve a league-best 16-6 record.

Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Swats first long ball
Rotowire
Rojas went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 12-3 victory versus the Rockies.
Rojas gave the Dodgers their first lead with a second-inning solo shot immediately after Max Muncy tied the game with a solo blast of his own. Rojas added another RBI on a seventh-inning sacrifice bunt and finished with three total hits, tying his season-high mark. Though he's been in the lineup sporadically, Rojas has largely produced when called upon, slashing .382/.421/.529 through 39 plate appearances while providing his usual excellent defense.

Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Posts another big performance
Rotowire
Rushing went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI against Colorado in a 12-3 win Monday.
Rushing started at first base, as Freddie Freeman remains away from the team while on paternity leave. Though Rushing went hitless in his first three plate appearances, he finished in fine form, knocking a solo homer in the eighth inning and belting a two-run shot in the ninth. Rushing has seen limited playing time this season as the backup catcher behind All-Star Will Smith, but he's been incredibly productive when in the lineup, racking up seven long balls and 13 RBI through only 28 plate appearances spanning eight contests. Smith's starting role is set in stone, but manager Dave Roberts may need to find creative ways to get Rushing's bat into the lineup more frequently if he continues to swing a hot bat.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Wraps big series with two homers
Rotowire
Muncy went 4-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs, two additional runs scored and a walk in a 12-3 win against the Rockies on Monday.
Muncy put the Dodgers on the board with a second-inning solo shot and added another in the ninth. The four-hit performance capped a four-game series against the Rockies during which Muncy went 10-for-17 with four long balls and five RBI. The veteran slugger already has three multi-homer games on the campaign and is tied for third in MLB with eight total home runs through 21 contests.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Logs another quality start
Rotowire
Wrobleski (3-0) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks while striking out three batters over seven innings.
Wrobleski gave up a run in the first inning but was unscored upon thereafter. As has been the case all season, he pitched to contact, notching just five whiffs and three punchouts. That approach has been quite successful so far for the southpaw, as he's paired an uninspiring 9:5 K:BB through 24 innings with an exceptional 1.88 ERA and 0.88 WHIP along with a 3-0 record. Wrobleski has also finished with a quality start in each of his past two outings and has more than justified his spot in the Dodgers' rotation during the absence of Blake Snell (shoulder), who is likely still at least a month away from being activated off the injured list.
Ko (quadriceps) is 7-for-16 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored in four games since being activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Ko began the 2026 season on the 7-day injured list after picking up a quadriceps injury, but he's been seeing the ball well at Single-A Ontario. He's already recorded a pair of home runs after hitting four home runs a season ago across 85 games.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Cleared to take cuts
Rotowire
Betts (oblique) resumed swinging a bat over the weekend, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Betts has been making steady progress while rehabbing a right oblique strain suffered in early April. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Betts will need to progress to hitting off a tee and soft toss before gaining clearance for batting practice, per Plunkett. A more exact timetable for his return could come into focus once he's given the green light to take batting practice.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Out until after All-Star break
Rotowire
Diaz is scheduled for surgery Wednesday to remove loose bodies from his right elbow and will be sidelined until the second half, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The injury provides an explanation as to why Diaz's velocity and results have been down early on this season. He was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Monday and will be a candidate to be shifted to the 60-day IL when/if the Dodgers need a clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Tanner Scott is the favorite to handle the bulk of the save chances for the Dodgers while Diaz is sidelined, but Alex Vesia and/or Blake Treinen could be in the mix, as well.

Dodgers' Jake Eder: Recalled by LAD
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Eder from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
The move corresponds with the Dodgers placing closer Edwin Diaz (elbow) on the 15-day injured list. Eder was acquired by Los Angeles from Washington on April 1, and across three outings in Triple-A, he has allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three across 5.2 innings. He figures to serve in a low-leverage role out of the Dodgers' bullpen.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Lands on IL, out 2-to-3 months
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Diaz on the 15-day injured list Monday due to loose bodies in his right elbow.
Diaz had been shut down for over a week due to concerns around the noticeable dip in his fastball velocity. Sunday's outing against the Rockies was his first since April 10, but he failed to record an out while allowing three runs on three hits and a walk, with his fastball averaging 95.4 mph compared to the 97.3 mph during the 2025 regular season. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Diaz will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove the loose bodies from his right elbow. It's a procedure that typically takes 2-to-3 months to recover from, so Diaz may not be ready to return until late June or early July at the earliest. Alex Vesia and Tanner Scott are the top candidates to take over closing duties for the Dodgers for as long as Diaz is sidelined.
Ward started at first base and went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.
Ward made his big-league debut and produced early, notching his first MLB hit and RBI with a fourth-inning single. The reigning Pacific Coast League MVP was off to a monster start at Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting a 1.020 OPS through 18 games, which prompted his promotion following Freddie Freeman's move to the paternity list. Earning regular opportunities with the Dodgers will be difficult, though Ward has more than proven himself against Triple-A pitching and turned in an encouraging MLB debut.

Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Clubs sixth homer in win
Rotowire
Moniak went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.
Moniak was a key contributor in Sunday's win, launching a 428-foot homer off Blake Treinen to give the Rockies the lead in the seventh inning. The outfielder is off to a strong start in 2026, slashing .273/.305/.655 with six homers, three doubles, 12 RBI and 10 runs through 16 games. The 27-year-old remains a non-factor against left-handed pitching but has steadily produced against right-handers since joining Colorado in 2025.

Rockies' Edouard Julien: Drives in three runs
Rotowire
Julien went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.
Julien had a standout day at the plate, recording his first three-hit, three-RBI effort of the campaign. Sunday snapped a cold spell, as the 26-year-old had been hitless over his previous six appearances. Julien has regularly operated as the Rockies' leadoff man against right-handed pitching in 2026, slashing .259/.355/.352 with one homer, two doubles, eight RBI, six runs and two stolen bases across 20 contests.

Dodgers' Edwin Diaz: Fails to record out Sunday
Rotowire
Diaz entered in the eighth inning and allowed three runs on three hits and a walk without recording an out in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.
Diaz made his first appearance since April 10, with the Dodgers trailing in the eighth inning, and failed to record an out as the Rockies extended their lead. The right-hander didn't allow hard contact, with no exit velocities above 88.0 mph, but his own velocity was down, as the 32-year-old's fastball averaged 95.4 mph Sunday after sitting at 97.3 mph last regular season. The loss in fastball velocity has been a prominent storyline in the first few weeks of the season, though there has been no indication of an injury. With a 10.50 ERA, 2.33 WHIP and four saves across six innings in 2026, Diaz's usage, velocity and effectiveness will be worth monitoring moving forward.

Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Allows three runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Sasaki did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out two.
Sasaki avoided a disastrous outing at Coors Field but failed to complete five innings and struggled to generate whiffs. There was hope the young right-hander would take a step forward in 2026 after a disappointing rookie campaign, but that hasn't materialized early, as he owns a 6.11 ERA and 1.87 WHIP with a 17:12 K:BB across 17.2 innings (four starts). Sasaki is projected to make his next start Saturday against the Cubs, when he'll be looking for his first win of the season.

Rockies' Michael Lorenzen: Lasts five frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Lorenzen did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.
Lorenzen was serviceable, providing decent length and limiting the Dodgers to three runs, allowing the Rockies' late offensive surge to carry the home team to victory. It's been a tough start to 2026 for the veteran right-hander, who owns a 7.48 ERA and 2.08 WHIP across 21.2 innings (six appearances). His next start is lined up for Friday on the road against the Mets.
Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Doyle will receive a breather after going 2-for-9 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored while starting in the Rockies' past three games. Jake McCarthy will cover center field in Doyle's stead Sunday.
