The Weather is Washington does not look good. It appears they will have a 2 hour window to get that game completed. Gio Gonzalez could be ok to use but the hitters are not likely to get a full night's work. I have removed all players from that game from the playbook since it is not worth the risk.
Good Luck today hit me up in the comments section, on twitter @tedschuster or my e-mail at ted@fantasyalarm.com if you have any questions.

Player News
Nationals have not yet decided if Michael Soroka (biceps) will make another rehab start or not.
Soroka himself feels ready to go after throwing 78 pitches on Sunday. “I’m absolutely ready to compete. It’s time... It depends what they want to do. We got to have that conversation.” The Nationals could decide to stretch Soroka out to 90 pitches before returning, but the veteran is not concerned about his recent injury. “It was kind of a one-off pitch. It wasn’t really something that crept up on me. Overextended on a breaking ball, and it grabbed me. So yeah, I threw a lot of breaking balls since then, and they all feel good. So we’re in good shape.” It sounds like Soroka will be back next week at the latest, so now could be the time to stash him in deeper fantasy formats after a strong spring training.
Shohei Ohtani walked three times, stole a base and scored a run in an extra-inning win Monday over the Marlins.
Ohtani’s steal was the seventh of the season. The three walks bring his season total to 18, and his on-base percentage is a strong .392 over the first 28 games of 2025. Ohtani has now reached at least three times in three consecutive games, but it’s worth noting he hasn’t gone deep since April 16.
Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run homer in a win over the Marlins on Monday in extra innings.
Dane Myers hit a pinch-hit grand slam to tie the game in the sixth inning against the Dodgers.
After Dustin May left the game, Myers came on to hit for Matt Mervis off southpaw Anthony Banda, and he slaughtered a ball over the center-field fence to turn a 5-1 deficit into a 5-5 game. He also singled, and he improved his slash to a strong — and totally unsustainable — .315/.327/.463. He does appear to see the ball pretty well against southpaws, however.
Tommy Edman hit a walk-off two-run single in the 10th inning to give the Dodgers a 7-6 win over the Marlins on Monday.
Dustin May didn’t factor into the decision after allowing three runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Marlins on Monday.
May blanked the Marlins over five innings, but then was charged for three runs in the sixth; two of those coming on a grand slam after he had left the contest. It’s a shaky result, but a better outing than his 10-hit disaster against the Cubs last Tuesday. Still, May’s ERA has jumped from 1.06 to 3.95 over his last two chances, and he’ll try and get back on track in a rematch with the Marlins in Miami next week.
