Bart won’t be hitting the injured list yet, but he’s going to sit out Saturday’s contest after making an early exit from Friday’s game with lower back discomfort. It’ll be Henry Davis handling the catching duties on Saturday night in his place. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Falter’s middling arsenal doesn’t really hold up very well against lineups like the Dodgers’ starting nine. He also gave up seven runs to the Yankees earlier this season. He has a 3.28 ERA against the Marlins, Reds, Nationals and Angels, though. He’ll face the Padres next.

There’s a good chance the Pirates cost themselves a game or two by not simply shutting down Bryan Reynolds when he was hurting earlier this season and instead benching McCutchen and using an injured player at DH. That’s in the past now; Reynolds is healthy and back in right field, allowing McCutchen to resume his DH duties. One of McCutchen’s singles today left the bat at 110.2 mph, his hardest-hit ball since 2022. He’s hitting .276/.368/.447 in 87 plate appearances.

Horwitz is likely going to need a couple weeks of rehab games to get back up to speed before making his season debut. The 27-year-old will take over as Pittsburgh’s starting first baseman once he’s ready to roll. He’s been out since early February recovering from right wrist surgery.

The 30-year-old backstop sat out Wednesday’s game with left wrist soreness, but it appears as though he’s doing significantly better after a couple of days off. He’ll do the catching and bat sixth against Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes on Friday night.

The last does come with a caveat, as Wyatt Langford clearly beat Smith’s throw on the steal attempt. However, his pop-up slide popped him right off the bag, resulting in the out. Smith entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth and delivered a single before coming around to score on Freddie Freeman’s sac fly. He’s batting .339/.443/.500 in 71 plate appearances.

The Rangers’ lineup was blanked by Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers’ fantastic bullpen on Friday night, but Harris still managed to get his. He accounted for two of the five hits off Yamamoto and is now riding the four-game hitting stream with two hits in consecutive contests. This may be a short lived hot streak though, as Wyatt Langford is expected to be activated off the injured list as early as Saturday.
