It’ll be Blewett’s first big-league start after 21 relief appearances. He threw 43 pitches over 2 2/3 innings in his last outing for the Orioles four days ago. Perhaps he could throw up to three innings tonight before the Braves call to the pen, perhaps for Nathan Wiles.

While the Dodgers list Rushing just at catcher, it’s worth noting he’s also played first base and spent some time in the outfield as well. The 24-year-old is the top prospect in the Dodgers’ system, and while his playing time might be a bit inconsistent to begin his big-league career, those who need a fantasy backstop upgrade could do worse than giving Rushing a chance. The long-term potential is much brighter than 2025, however.

Refsnyder has been out of the starting lineup with tightness in his lower back, but is feeling well enough to hit in the middle of the order against Tark Skubal and Detroit. Wilyer Abreu takes a seat against the defending Cy Young winner.

McDermott will be making his second career MLB start in the second game of the twin-billing. The 26-year-old missed the first month of the 2025 season with a lat strain, and it seems likely that he’ll be on a limited pitch/inning count for this contest. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere.

Soto has started the first 43 games of the season, but the Mets will give the star slugger a Wednesday off in the finale against Pittsburgh ahead of Thursday’s day off for the Mets. Jose Azocar will be the right fielder while Soto rests.

Morris is purely a blocking tight end. He caught just 15 passes during his three years with the Bills, though he did manage to find the end zone three times. Morris will back up Brenton Strange in Jacksonville.
