The hard-throwing right-hander also issued four walks while striking out five opposing hitters in the ballgame. The Phillies jumped on him right out of the gate in this one, using five hits and a walk to push five runs across in the opening inning. Hicks settled in nicely afterwards, giving fantasy managers some ratio relief by working six scoreless innings afterwards to keep his team in the game. He got 13 swings and misses on 105 pitches on the day — eight of those on his sweeper — while registering a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll look to improve upon his 6.04 ERA and 1.39 WHIP when he takes the mound against the Brewers his next time out on Tuesday.

This move was rumored earlier in the week and is now official. It looks like just a spot start for Henderson unless Jose Quintana’s biceps/shoulder becomes a bigger issue. Henderson looked good in his lone MLB start this season, but he is a risky streaming option against a solid Guardians team.

The Orioles are trying anything to get the 27-year-old going. He started the year batting second and then shifted to third in the order. On Sunday, he hit cleanup, and he’s now batting fifth with Ryan O’Hearn hitting cleanup, Gunnar Henderson batting third, and Ryan Mountcastle hitting second. Rustchman is hitting just .203/.298/.338 on the season; although, his .275 xBA suggests that he deserves a lot better.

Ramón Laureano will start in left field and bat seventh against right-hander Bailey Ober. Kjerstad will likely start Game 2; however, he’s hitting just .206 with a 30 percent strikeout rate in 103 plate appearances this season. He’s almost assuredly going to be sent back to the minors whenever Colton Cowser returns.

Fitzgerald fractured one of his left ribs back at the beginning of the month and landed on the IL. He said at the time that he hoped to only miss two weeks, and he seems to be on track right now. Given the nature of his injury, fantasy managers need to keep an eye on whether he’s still able to swing with the same bat speed or hit the ball with the same exit velocities before determining what his rest of season value will be.

Schmitt landed on the injured list back on April 19th with an oblique strain, so it’s been about three weeks before he was able ot get back onto the field. He will likely need at least another week on his rehab assignment before the Giants need to decide if they’d rather have him or David Villar as a backup infielder.

Black had surgery in late March to remove a broken hamate bone. He will likely need a few weeks on a rehab assignment before the Brewers think about calling him up, but we’d expect him to remain in the minor leagues for a bit longer.
