Gueye saw a few pair of starts after Jalen Johnson (shoulder) went down, but he couldn’t stick in the lineup. However, trading away De’Andre Hunter allowed him to return to the rotation for this game, and he took advantage of the opportunity. This was the first double-double of his career, and he set new career-highs for both rebounds and blocks. It’s unclear what his role will look like when Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and Terance Mann are introduced to the lineup, so managers shouldn’t rush to the waiver wire. Gueye played in the G-League on Thursday, so if he played in Washington on Saturday, it would be his third day in a row playing. Keep an eye on the injury report.

Sauer will be capable of working multiple innings, but the 26-year-old won’t be able to go deep enough to qualify for a victory unless the Athletics are incredibly aggressive against the right-hander. He won’t be a quality streaming option for Thursday’s bullpen game against the Athletics.

Ohtani hit a no-doubter to lead off the game for the Dodgers and it bumps his homer total to 13. He’s been remarkably — and surprisingly — good in the month of May, and he’s now slashing .341/.442/.818 over those 48 at-bats in that timeframe. There’s a long way to go, but a back-to-back MVP season is well within reason, even if he doesn’t return to the mound in 2025.
