Yahoo Fantasy Baseball - MLB DFS Heart Of The Order June 15: Marcell Ozuna Powers Atlanta Braves
Published: Jun 15, 2022
The MLB DFS main slate for Yahoo Fantasy tonight features nine games for daily fantasy baseball lineups. Tonight's Major League Baseball action contains some games that will feature popular MLB DFS stacks like the Toronto Blue Jays and Atlanta Braves. Our top pitcher for MLB daily fantasy lineups is Blue Jays righty José Berríos, who looks to bounce back for fantasy baseball lineups with a good matchup against the Baltimore Orioles tonight. Meanwhile, George Springer and the Toronto offense will look to extend Bruce Zimmermann's streak to six straight starts with four or more earned runs allowed. The Braves as a whole have great BvP numbers against Washington Nationals starter Erick Fedde, and outfielder Marcell Ozuna leads the charge. Lastly, Ian Happ at Wrigley Field has been a cheat code all year, making the Chicago Cubs outfielder one of my MLB DFS top picks for the day.

Player News
Eddie Rosario has elected free agency.
Rosario refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett over the weekend and will head to free agency instead. There’s a decent chance he winds up back with Atlanta on a brand-new minor league deal. The 33-year-old journeyman outfielder has gotten into five games this season between Los Angeles and Atlanta.
Mike Trout (knee) is scheduled to run on an Alter G (zero gravity) treadmill on Monday.
Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters they’ll see how Trout fares before making a decision on his next steps. The 33-year-old generation superstar remains without a definitive return timetable after hitting the injured list back on May 2 with a bone bruise in his left knee.
Rangers promoted OF prospect Alejandro Osuna to Triple-A.
Osuna checked in at 499th overall in Rotoworld’s dynasty rankings back on Opening Day after an impressive showing in spring training. The 22-year-old earns a promotion to the doorstep of the majors hitting .284/.363/.409 with 10 extra-base hits and seven steals in 31 games this season for Double-A Frisco. He doesn’t project as a high-upside fantasy contributor, but he does a little bit of everything well and should be able to carve out a role at the highest level someday.
Justin Martinez (shoulder) will face hitters on Wednesday in a live batting practice session.
There’s an outside chance Martinez is ready to return from the injured list later this week when first eligible, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. The hard-throwing 23-year-old reliever is making steady progress and should be ready to rejoin Arizona’s high leverage mix at some point in the coming days.
Logan Gilbert (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.
It’ll be Gilbert’s first bullpen session since landing on the injured list back on April 26 with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The 28-year-old fantasy ace will likely require a couple minor league rehab outings to get back up to speed, but it looks like there’s a decent chance he’s back in Seattle’s rotation at some point in June.
DJ LeMahieu (calf) was not activated prior to Monday’s game against the Mariners.
LeMahieu joined the Yankees in Seattle as they continue their West Coast trip, but he hasn’t been officially activated yet. That figures to happen prior to Tuesday’s contest. The 36-year-old will make his season debut this week after missing the first six-plus weeks of the year recovering from a calf injury.
