Beasley shot 5-of-8 from the field in the first half and finished with a team-high 26 points, recording his third 20-point game in his last six outings. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo leagues, the Pistons guard has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks. And with Jaden Ivey (leg) not guaranteed to return before the fantasy playoff rounds, Beasley is a must-have in 14-team leagues, and he’s worth adding in 12-team formats.

Hagen Smith’s velocity fluctuated in his last outing, and the White Sox were cautious about him showing some signs of fatigue. They shortened his last outing and will skip his next start to help him manage his workload in his first full professional season. Everything is fine with Smith from a medical perspective, but this is a good reminder that Smith is an immense talent, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect a major impact this season as he adjusts to professional baseball.

Blackburn has already made four rehab starts, so he will need to be reinstated from the injured list after his start on Friday. As of now, there is no room in the Mets’ rotation, so the most likely outcome is that Blackburn would serve as a multi-inning reliever, which could bump Dedniel Nunez back to the minors.

After his brutal start on Monday, Houck admitted this is “probably the most lost [he’s] ever been.” The struggles really began in the second half of last season, but Houck now has an 8.04 ERA and has allowed double-digit runs in less than three innings twice this season already. Houck does have minor league options remaining, so the Red Sox could simply send him to Triple-A and give him time to figure out what’s going out. If they were to do so, that would allow Hunter Dobbins to stay in the rotation even after Walker Buehler returns next week.

Milwaukee has pushed Jose Quintana’s start back to Saturday against the Twins, which means they currently don’t have a starter for Wednesday’s game. Henderson is already on the 40-man roster, so he would make some sense and be an intriguing streamer in deeper formats.

SLater had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee back on April 16th. He was given a four-to-six week timeline at the time, so he remains on track in his recovery. He could need multiple weeks of rehab games before returning to the White Sox lineup.

Up-and-downs simulate a multi-inning game scenario where Fitts will face hitters and then rest as if it were the half inning that his team was hitting, and then face more hitters. It’s used to test stamina and recovery. The next step would be for Fitts to progress to a rehab assignment.
