George Kirby SP | SEA
Mariners' George Kirby: Goes seven innings in no-decision
Kirby allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus Atlanta.
Kirby took his second no-decision in a row. This was also his fifth quality start in eight outings, though the runs he allowed came in the fourth inning, just after the Mariners had taken the lead on a J.P. Crawford two-run home run. Kirby has been pretty strong and steady overall this season with a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB through 52 innings. His next start is projected to be on the road in Houston.

Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW
White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Belts second homer
Meidroth went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Meidroth brought the White Sox to within a run with a seventh-inning solo shot, but that was the final tally by either team in the contest. The second-year infielder isn't known for his power, and Tuesday's long ball was just his second of the season. However, he's been pretty decent at getting on base, logging a .269/.342/.369 slash line along with 21 runs scored, five RBI and one stolen base through 34 games. Meidroth is working on a six-game hitting streak.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Snaps homer drought Tuesday
Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 victory versus the White Sox.
Neto broke a 2-2 tie with a fifth-inning solo homer that traveled an estimated 410 feet. It was the shortstop's first long ball since April 10 -- a span of 23 games. Neto was frequently a top-30 fantasy pick during 2026 drafts after logging 26 homers and 26 steals last season, but he's gotten off to a somewhat slow start outside of the stolen-base department this year. Through 37 contests, he's slashing .218/.327/.395 with six homers, 24 runs, 16 RBI and seven thefts.

Jorge Soler DH | LAA
Angels' Jorge Soler: Continues productive campaign
Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday in a 4-3 win against the White Sox.
Soler tied the game at 2-2 with a first-inning solo shot to center field. The veteran slugger has gone deep eight times through 33 games and leads the Angels with 28 RBI while scoring 18 times. His .795 OPS is on pace for his highest mark since 2023.

Mike Trout CF | LAA
Angels' Mike Trout: Reaches four times in victory
Trout went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run and two walks in a 4-3 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.
Trout put the Angels on the board in the first inning with a solo blast to left field. He went on to reach three more times in the contest, bouncing back nicely after his 22-game on-base streak ended Monday. Trout is up to 11 long balls on the campaign, tied for sixth-most in MLB, and leads the league with 36 walks. He's added 32 runs (fourth-most in the league), 22 RBI, five stolen bases and a .262/.436/.563 slash line through 36 games.

Kevin Gausman SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: No-decision vs. Tampa Bay
Gausman did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rays, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings.
Gausman continued his steady start to the season, throwing 63 of 96 pitches for strikes while keeping Tampa Bay mostly in check en route to his fifth quality start through eight outings. The veteran right-hander showed a noticeable velocity bump, reaching 96 mph or higher on seven four-seamers after doing so only five times over his previous four starts combined. Following Tuesday's outing, Gausman now sits just three strikeouts shy of 2,000 for his career and should soon become only the sixth active pitcher to reach that milestone. The 35-year-old owns a 3.28 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and a 43:9 K:BB across 46.2 innings and is scheduled for a rematch with Tampa Bay in his next start.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
White Sox's Erick Fedde: Loses steam with loss
Fedde (0-4) took the loss against the Angels on Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.
Though Fedde entered Tuesday with an 0-3 record, he had been pitching fairly well, giving up no more than three earned runs in any outing through six starts and compiling a 3.24 ERA along with a 1.05 WHIP. He was far from effective against the Angels, however, as he was tagged for three long balls while failing to make it through five frames. Fedde managed a meager three whiffs and threw just 44 of 75 pitches for strikes against the team with the AL's worst record. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up to be a home matchup versus Kansas City.

Ryan Zeferjahn RP | LAA
Angels' Ryan Zeferjahn: Notches save Tuesday
Zeferjahn earned a save against the White Sox on Tuesday, issuing two walks and striking out three batters over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings.
Zeferjahn entered with two outs and a runner on first base with a one-run lead in the top of the eighth inning. He struck out Munetaka Murakami on three pitches, then remained in the game for the ninth. The right-hander was much less steady in that frame, hitting one batter with a pitch and walking two others to load the bases. However, Zeferjahn was able to wiggle out of the jam by getting Edgar Quero to ground out to end the contest. Overall, Zeferjahn threw just 16 of 33 pitches for strikes, though it's notable that he picked up the Angels' first save since Jordan Romano, who has since been released, notched a save against Atlanta on April 6. It's also notable that Kirby Yates, who was activated from the IL on Tuesday and is the most experienced closer in the team's bullpen, wasn't called upon with a late lead Tuesday. The Angels have the league's second-worst record, and their ninth-inning situation is as ambiguous as any in baseball, so fantasy managers may be wise to avoid reading too much into Zeferjahn's save Tuesday unless he follows it up with additional closing opportunities.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Facing extended absence
Correa will miss multiple weeks, possibly months, due to a significant left ankle injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Correa injured his ankle while taking batting practice before Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. He's slated to visit a specialist Wednesday to determine exactly what he's dealing with, but the Astros aren't optimistic that they'll receive good news. The 31-year-old has been working as Houston's primary shortstop due to Jeremy Pena (hamstring) being on the injured list, though that title will likely now belong to Nick Allen until Pena returns.

Samuel Aldegheri SP | LAA
Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Yields two runs in short start
Aldegheri allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over four innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Tuesday. He didn't strike out any batters.
Aldegheri was summoned from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday and was tabbed to start one day later. The southpaw had a rough first inning, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks before retiring a batter, but he settled down thereafter and didn't allow Chicago to score over the remainder of his outing. However, Aldegheri was pulled after just four frames and 69 pitches despite the fact that he had thrown six innings and 97 pitches in his most recent minor-league start last Tuesday. Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) landed on the IL on Tuesday, so there's at least a temporary opening in the Angels' rotation, which could mean that Aldegheri will get additional starts moving forward.
