The positive news for fantasy managers is that Cruz hasn’t been sent to the injured list despite missing his third straight contest after being hit by a pitch earlier this week. It’s impossible to rule out a trip to the injured list at this juncture, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be rookie Alexander Canario in center field on Saturday evening in his absence.

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.

Harris broke a 3-3 tie with a two-run double off Ryan Feltner. He’s up to 15 RBI on the season, and he’s now stolen six bases over Atlanta’s first 28 games. Harris hasn’t been great to begin 2025, but the hits are starting to fall again for the 24-year-old. He should be fine.

Gibson, who signed with the Orioles in late March, returns to the majors having posted a 3.75 ERA and a 13/2 K/BB in 12 innings over three minor league outings. He might offer some AL-only value over the rest of the season, but mixed leagues don’t need to bother.

Grisham opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 401-foot (107.7 mph EV) leadoff blast off of Chris Bassitt to start the home half of the first inning. He also walked twice in the ballgame, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. On the season, he’s slashing a robust .298/.385/.684 with seven long balls and 14 RBI. He’s worthy of a look in deeper mixed leagues for as long as he sees consistent playing time with the Bombers.
