This is effectively the difference between a top-third starter, and a guy who is a bridge to the rest of the rotation being healthy.
Detmers generates chases at a 95th percentile rate this year, which is consistent with what he’s been in his career.
Although New York has shown more patience at the plate this season, they still have plenty of hitters who carry a lot of swing and miss, which is always going to make them vulnerable to this pitching archetype.
I don’t think Detmers needs to be stellar for the Halos to hang here. Weathers is on borrowed time relative to his actual performances compared to the underlying metrics.
COVERS INTEL: Ryan Weathers' 2.81 ERA masks a 5.12 xERA, which is the largest gap between actual and xERA among Yankees starters this season.
Angels vs Yankees Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-120)
Weathers’ pending negative regression certainly plays an influential role here. I set the total at the same number as the market, but metrics such as favorable matchups and both teams’ offensive tendencies lean me towards the Over.
Mike Trout, Zach Neto, and Jo Adell have all had good success against Weathers historically. All three have over 40 plate appearances against him, and all three have posted a Top 20% wOBA against him over that sample.
If that trio has success, we can roughly estimate the Angels scoring 4-5 runs. That should be enough.
Although Detmers' chase creation gives him an edge, his fastball-heavy approach also makes him a candidate to give up runs against the best fastball-hitting team in baseball YTD.

CHICAGO — First, the Buffalo Sabres stopped their long playoff drought. Then, Alex Tuch & Co. won the Atlantic Division.
They have no intention of stopping now.
Buffalo is aiming high after a 5-1 victory at Chicago secured the franchise’s first division title since the 2009-10 season and seventh overall. The Sabres became the fifth team in NHL history to clinch a division crown after overcoming a standings deficit of eight or more points.
“It feels really good, but we’ve got a bigger goal in mind,” Tuch said. “So, get some good momentum going into the playoffs. It doesn’t mean anything if you don’t lift the ultimate trophy at the end of the year.”
Buffalo (50-23-8) never has won the Stanley Cup. The team finished seventh in the Atlantic Division last season, but this group of Sabres has been on a roll since December.
With Tuch and Tage Thompson leading the way, the Sabres cruised past the Blackhawks to improve to 39-9-4 in their last 52 games. They reached 50 wins for the third time in club history, also accomplishing the feat in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
“The season has been a total team effort,” said coach Lindy Ruff, who is in his second stint with the Sabres.
Buffalo clinched a playoff spot on April 4. The previous playoff appearance for the franchise was in 2011, when it was eliminated by Philadelphia in seven games in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
The 14 straight seasons of futility was an NHL record and one of the longest active streaks among the four major North American sports, ranking second behind the NFL’s New York Jets, who last qualified for the playoffs in 2010.
“Unbelievable job by our group,” Thompson said. “From December on, getting us to the place we’re at right now. Home ice is a huge advantage in the playoffs and being able to give these fans that is something pretty special to me and all the rest of the guys in here, ‘cause of what they’ve been through.”
Thompson scored twice in the victory over Chicago, and Tuch had a goal and an assist. The 28-year-old Thompson, who helped the U.S. win the gold medal at the Olympics, reached 40 goals for the second straight season and third overall.
“It definitely means a lot,” Thompson said. “You set goals for yourself. You set goals as a team and certainly you do as individuals as well. That’s always a place that I want to try to get to and feel I am capable of. When you get close or you get it once or twice, you just want to keep pushing the envelope and see how much more you can get.”
Thompson leads Buffalo with 40 goals and 81 points, but he has received plenty of help. Tuch has 32 goals and 33 assists, and captain Rasmus Dahlin has a team-high 55 assists. Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is 22-9-3 with a 2.52 goals-against average after making 15 stops against the Blackhawks.
The Sabres were in the mix for the top spot in the Eastern Conference before Carolina secured the position by earning a point in a shootout loss at Philadelphia.
The Sabres host Dallas in their regular-season finale. After that, it’s the first round of the playoffs against Boston or Ottawa.
“It’s kind of hard to celebrate now knowing we have unbelievable challenges in front of us here,” Dahlin said. “Now we’re just going to switch focus to the playoffs. We have to get ready, that’s for sure.”
The die is cast, and the 16 teams that will take part in the spring dance are now known. That list includes the Montreal Canadiens’ opponent tonight, the Philadelphia Flyers, who beat a watered-down version of the Carolina Hurricanes in the shootout on Monday night. Tonight’s game is therefore meaningless for Rick Tocchet’s men, who cannot hope to move up in the standings, even with a win, since the Pittsburgh Penguins are two points ahead and have 34 regulation wins to the Flyers’ 26.
Will the Flyers decide to rest some players ahead of the playoffs and on the second game of a back-to-back? It would make sense. Meanwhile, with the Buffalo Sabres’ win last night over the Chicago Blackhawks, the Atlantic Division title is now out of reach for the Canadiens, who will definitely face the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round. The best Martin St-Louis’ men can hope for is a win over the Flyers, coupled with a Bolts loss against the New York Rangers on Wednesday, which would allow them to finish second and get the all-important home-ice advantage.
The Flyers have won both games against the Canadiens so far this season, 5-4 in November and 4-1 in December. A loss tonight would make a season sweep for the Flyers, but both teams have won five of the last 10 duels between the two sides.
Neither team has confirmed who will be in the net for the game, but it will be interesting to see if Martin St-Louis decides to go back to his now-number-one, Jakub Dobes, even though Jacob Fowler won his last outing. Both goalies would give the Canadiens a chance to win, but the more Dobes plays, the better he seems to be, giving him one last game before the playoffs probably wouldn’t hurt. The Czech netminder hasn’t faced the host this season and has lost his only decision against them, and has a 6.30 goals-against average and an .800 save percentage. As for Fowler, he also has a defeat against them, but his numbers are slightly better at 3.10 GAA and a .850 SV.
At the other end of the ice, first-choice goalie Dan Vladar was on duty last night and may well get a night off since the game is meaningless for Philadelphia. Still, he has a 2-0-0 record against the Canadiens with a 2.40 GAA and a .881 SV. As for Samuel Ersson, he has a 2-3-0 record against Montreal with a 3.53 GAA and a .850 SV.
Up front, Brendan Gallagher leads all Canadiens players in points against the Flyers with 27 in 34 games, including the only hat-trick of his career back in 2019, and one has to wonder if the coach may want to give him a game after he was a healthy scratch for the last four games… With everyone healthy up front, St-Louis may want to keep experimenting with his lines. Nick Suzuki comes in second place with 16 points in 17 games, followed by Phillip Danault with 14 points in 19 games.
It’s worth noting that Lane Hutson, who needs an assist to beat Larry Robinson’s assist record, has five points in as many games against Philadelphia, including four assists. As for Cole Caufield, who needs a goal to catch up to Nathan MacKinnon, who was held off the scoresheet last night, in the race to the Rocket Richard Trophy, he has 10 points in 12 games, including six goals. However, the Colorado Avalanche still have two games to play, so MacKinnon could improve on his total if he’s not rested. Colorado takes on the Calgary Flames tonight and the Seattle Kraken on Thursday, in the very last game of the regular season. Odds seem to be stacked against Caufield in that race.
Meanwhile, Sean Couturier leads the Flyers in points against Montreal with 25 points in 36 games, including three game-winning goals. Travis Konecny is in second place with 19 points in 22 games, followed by Owen Tippett with 11 points in 14 games. It wouldn’t be shocking if the first two enjoyed a night off, given the circumstances.
The game is set for 7:00 PM, and you can catch it on NBCSP, TSN2, and RDS. Jake Brenk and Peter MacDougall are set to officiate, while Kilian McNamara and Mark Shewchyk will be the linemen.
NEW YORK — Mike Trout and Aaron Judge turned their baseball game into a heavyweight slugfest.
Trout’s second home run of the game bounced off the back wall behind the Angels bullpen in left-center, giving Los Angeles a two-run lead in the eighth inning on a night when Judge already had homered twice to put the New York Yankees ahead.
And there was more drama to come — after two three-time MVPs both homered twice in the same game for the first time in 70 years.
Trent Grisham hit his second homer of the evening (and season) to tie the score in the ninth. Moments later, José Caballero trotted home on Jordan Romano’s game-ending wild pitch to give the Yankees a pulsating 11-10 win that stopped a five-game losing streak.
“It was great. That’s baseball for you,” Trout marveled. “It’s what fans want, and to be able to see something like that, pretty cool.”
Only once before had a pair of players already three-time MVPs each homered twice in the same game, according to STATS Perform.
After Stan Musial had gone deep twice, Roy Campanella hit a tying, three-run drive in the ninth for his second of the game and Don Zimmer followed with a walk-off single to lead the Brooklyn Dodgers over the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 at Ebbets Field on June 21, 1956.
Trout nearly hit a third. He flied out to Cody Bellinger in front of the center-field wall, leaving the bases loaded in the fourth after the Angels tied the score 4-all with four unearned runs following Caballero’s error on Trout’s leadoff grounder to shortstop.
Judge had looked forward to crossing paths with Trout in a Yankee Stadium weight room.
“I was going to talk some smack to him after the one he hit all the way to the warning track,” Judge said, “but I didn’t get a chance to and then he answers right back with two big homers for him. You put that guy in a clutch situation, a big moment and he’s going to show up every single time, so it’s fun going back and forth with a guy like that, especially in New York and the Bronx.”
New York had lost five straight after an 8-2 start and had been 0-6 in one-run games.
There were seven home runs that traveled a total of 2,846 feet — more than half a mile — with the Yankees hitting five. Judge’s first went 456 feet deep into the left-field bleachers and left the bat at 116.2 mph, the hardest-hit home run of the season.
Grisham and Trout each had five RBIs, and Judge had three.
Baseball’s top four active home run leaders were all in the game. Judge, with 374, moved one ahead of teammate Paul Goldschmidt. New York slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who leads active players with 454, missed by about a foot with a double off the center-field wall in the fifth. Trout has 408 homers.
Trout, 34, won AL MVPs in 2014, ’16 and ’19 but has struggled with injuries for much of the past five seasons.
“He’s the greatest of all time. It’s been fun to watch his whole career, coming up at such a young age and instantly just putting yourself at the top of the list. It’s special,” Judge said.
Judge, who turns 34 on April 26, won AL MVPs in 2022, ‘24 and ’25.
“Those are two of the greats, so it’s really fun to watch,” Yankees starter Will Warren said.
Judge and Caballero each hit a two-run homer off Yusei Kikuchi for a 4-0 second-inning lead on an unseasonably warm 77-degree night. After Caballero’s error led to the unearned runs off Warren, Grisham pinch hit in the fifth and connected for a three-run drive against Shaun Anderson for a 7-4 lead.
Trout countered with a three-run homer in the sixth against Jake Bird, who was demoted to Triple-A after the game.
Judge’s homer off Anderson leading off the bottom half gave him 47 multi-homer games, one more than Mickey Mantle and trailing only Babe Ruth’s 68 among Yankees.
“To be surrounded by some greats like that, it’s special,” Judge said.
Josh Lowe knotted the score at 8 with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly, and Trout’s two-run drive in the eighth off Camilo Doval put the Angels ahead 10-8 with his 31st multi-homer game. Judge, watching from right field, shook his head.
“Every time he comes to the Bronx, man, he puts on a show,” Judge said. “I hate to see it, but it’s fun competing against a guy like that.”
Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to start the ninth against Romano, and Grisham reached down and pulled a slider into the right-field seats as the closer put both hands on his head.
Caballero doubled and stole third without a throw. And after Austin Wells walked, Caballero scored when Romano bounced a full-count slider to Ryan McMahon to the backstop on the ninth pitch of the plate appearance.
New York had not won a game while allowing double-digit runs since beating Minnesota 14-12 on July 23, 2019.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone described his own feelings as “tough ... for the belly.”
Then he switched his thoughts to his players.
“You get a lead, then you get another lead, and then it’s gone,” he said. “For the guys, maybe it was good to have a game like that where it was a little messy.”
Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet had the worst game of his career on Monday night, getting lit up for 11 runs (10 earned) while recording just five outs in his team's 13-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
Last year's AL Cy Young runner-up, the 27-year-old's velocity and spin rate were down in the start, according to MassLive, but Crochet told reporters "I don’t think that’s anything to fret over."
An All-Star each of the past two seasons, the left-hander acknowledged that he hasn't been at his best in the opening weeks of the season.
"Command as a whole has been spotty. Gotten away with it a little this early in the year," Crochet told reporters, "but tonight they made me pay. It was weak contact, hard contact, walks, hit by pitch, a little bit of everything.”
The Twins scored four runs in the first inning against Crochet but blew it open in the second, plating seven runs – including home runs by Victor Caratini and Ryan Kreidler before the left-hander was yanked before making it through the second inning.
Is Garrett Crochet hurt?
Crochet told reporters he's fine physically and manager Alex Cora said that his ace is "healthy, so that's the most important thing."
Crochet pitched a career-high 205 ⅓ innings in 2025, up from 146 in 2024, his final year with the Chicago White Sox. He had his workload limited with the White Sox after Tommy John surgery and the team transitioning him to a starting role.
“It’s a little eye-opening, obviously,” Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey said. “I think there’s a little frustration and curiosity, but like for me, there’s a couple balls on the line, jam shot to the left, a couple walks mixed there and then obviously they were able to step on some pitches in zone and hit him out of the yard. And it happened really quickly. So just got to move past it.”

The White Sox selected Crochet with the 11th overall pick out of Tennessee in the 2020 draft. He made his big-league debut just a few months later in the COVID-shortened season, pitching five regular-season games before also participating in the postseason.
PITTSBURGH — Paul Skenes spent last season pitching on a razor’s edge, aware that one mistake could tilt the balance of a game, no matter how masterful the Pittsburgh Pirates ace might be.
Not anymore.
The offense that struggled to score whenever Skenes took the hill in 2025 — the main reason he had a 10-10 record alongside the 1.97 ERA that won him the National League Cy Young Award — has been transformed, both in personnel and in production, in 2026.
It reached the point during a 16-5 victory over Washington that Skenes was sort of hoping the Pirates would stop hitting during a 10-run sixth, if only so he could get back to work.
No such luck. By the time the inning was over, 14 batters had come to the plate, the Nationals had switched pitchers twice, and the clock for Skenes (3-1) to return to the mound had run out after six innings of brilliance.
“It just took forever, which is what you want,” Skenes said. “I feel like that inning everybody (was) just pulling the rope and passing it off to the next guy. It was cool to watch.”
A year ago, the worst offense in the majors produced three runs or fewer 18 times in Skenes’ 32 starts. The 23-year-old challenged the organization to get serious about winning in 2026, and the normally stingy Pirates made a series of aggressive moves intended to upgrade their lineup and help arguably the best young pitching staff in the majors.
The early returns are promising.
Pittsburgh, which was last in runs, home runs and RBIs in 2025, is in the top 10 in all three categories. Second baseman Brandon Lowe — acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay in December — became the first player in franchise history to have back-to-back five-RBI games when he hit a two-run single in the second and added a three-run homer to cap off Pittsburgh’s first 10-run inning at PNC Park in nearly 17 years.
Lowe, a two-time All-Star with the Rays, has six home runs. First baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn, signed to a two-year deal in free agency, has 13 RBIs. Outfielder/designated hitter Bryan Reynolds, surrounded by the deepest lineup of his seven-year tenure in Pittsburgh, is thriving.
Perhaps the biggest sign of hope is the performance of Oneil Cruz, the Pirates’ talented but inconsistent center fielder. The 6-foot-7 Cruz extended his hitting streak to 12 games by going 2 for 3 with three RBIs, one of them coming on a 114 mph rope off the fence in right field.
“It’s pretty fun to hit after a guy hits a ball (that hard),” Lowe said. “Gets the crowd a little loud. To watch his at-bats, to see the maturity that he has with the power and everything else he has going for him, he’s going to be a lot of fun to hit behind this year.”
And the Pirates could be dangerous for the first time in a long time. Skenes already is seeing the difference. Pittsburgh has scored 38 runs across his first four starts in 2026 after needing 11 starts to hit that total in 2025.
“I told the guys after the game it makes it easy to pitch,” Skenes said.
It also lets him take chances and evolve. He became the fifth-fastest pitcher in major league history to reach 400 strikeouts when he fanned Luis Garcia Jr. just two batters into his 59th start.
Save for a 100 mph heater that Washington’s CJ Abrams sent into the seats over the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right in the first, Skenes was nearly perfect as he mixed his fastball with reliable offspeed stuff.
“I mean we might go out next outing and only throw changeups,” Skenes said, joking he might throw “100 in a row” when he makes his next start against the Rays.
Probably not. But having another pitch he can trust is hardly a bad thing. Neither is the freedom that comes with knowing he doesn’t have to be flawless for the Pirates to have a shot.
The victory over the Nationals came just over 24 hours after Pittsburgh allowed the host Chicago Cubs to rally and avoid a sweep. The Pirates responded with their best offensive performance of the season and offered a glimpse of the resilience it will take if they want to get to where they want to go.
“I’ve seen it now for a couple years with the Brewers, the Cubs, the Reds last year made the playoffs,” Skenes said. “That’s what NL Central teams do really well, and so now we’re doing that. It’s really fun to watch.”
The Philadelphia Phillies (8-8) face the Chicago Cubs (7-9) in the second game of their three-game series. Kyle Schwarber hit two homers as the Phillies beat the Cubs 13-7 in the series’ opener. The scheduled starting pitchers are Aaron Nola for the Phillies and Riley Martin for the Cubs.

PHILADELPHIA — Dan Vladar turned aside Carolina’s fourth shootout attempt, threw his arms in the air and waited for the swarm of Flyers to mob him in celebration.
Every Flyer hopped the boards and rushed the ice as fans — almost all clad in orange — went wild in a celebration six years — and a long rebuild — in the making.
The Flyers skated to center ice and raised their sticks toward a packed and rowdy crowd that hasn’t enjoyed a home playoff series since 2018 as “CLINCHED!” flashed on the big screen.
Yes, Philadelphia — long ago one of the model franchises in the NHL — indeed is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Tyson Foerster scored the only goal in the shootout to send Philadelphia to a 3-2 win over the Eastern Conference top seed Carolina Hurricanes, setting up a first-round series with Sidney Crosby and Pittsburgh.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Owen Tippett said. “These guys in this room love each other. It’s going to be a blast. But the job’s not done.”
Reaching the postseason is a meaningful milestone for the Flyers and fans who endured many seasons of miserable hockey.
“It’s been a lot of years,” Flyers first-year coach Rick Tocchet said. “I feel for them, I really do. I get it. We could only do our part and try and build this thing. I understand their angst. Hopefully this gives them a little bit of belief.”
The Flyers played must-win hockey in the final week of the season. Chicago beat Philadelphia in 2010 for the Stanley Cup, and the Flyers never recovered, winning three playoff series headed into this season.
Only Toronto (1966-67) has suffered longer than any other team that has won at least one Stanley Cup.
The Flyers have been close: Philadelphia lost in the Cup finals in 1976, 1980, 1985, 1987, 1997 and 2010.
The architect of an overdue organizational overhaul, general manager Danny Briere, kept his eye on the future the last three seasons, refusing to yield his promising prospects for veterans that could have accelerated the rebuild.
The Flyers are loaded with young stars like Matvei Michkov, who scored against Carolina, and 19-year-old rookie Porter Martone. Both are expected to usher the Flyers into serious Stanley Cup contention in the future.
“I think the room’s in a good spot,” Travis Konecny said. “A lot of the young guys that we have, to be honest with you, they’ve been farther ahead than you would expect. And they also play a professional style where they make the right plays at the right time.”
Perhaps the biggest for Briere was hiring Tocchet.
Tocchet played more than a decade with Philly in stints at the start and end of his career and turned modest playoff hopes into reality.
“I’m enjoying watching these games, win these pressure games,” Tocchet said. “As coach, like, I’m not nervous. I’m excited for these guys.”
Philadelphia has one of the longest championship droughts in the NHL, last winning the Stanley Cup in 1974 and 1975. Those “Broad Street Bullies” teams are a cherished part of the franchise’s past and a reminder of the time that passed since hoisting the trophy.
The Flyers needed two points over their final two games to clinch a playoff spot and trailed 2-0 against a Hurricanes team that got the point it needed to clinch the No. 1 seed in the East.
Michkov started the rally and Trevor Zegras scored on a power play later in the second period, tying the game.
After each team missed on their first three shootout attempts, Foerster delivered the winner that will be remembered as the most important goal over the last six seasons.
Foerster’s season was considered done following an injury in early December. The 24-year-old, who had a career-best 25 goals last season, missed 49 games, but recovered and returned this month.
Not all Flyers fans wore orange.
Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper watched the end of the shootout in the clubhouse after the Phillies’ 13-7 win over the Cubs.
“We’re all going to be behind them in their playoff run,” Schwarber said. “Can’t wait to see them get out there. ... I don’t know if we’re ever going to be able to sneak over to a game, but hopefully we can.”
The Flyers finish the season against Montreal before beginning preparation for Pittsburgh.
The New York Yankees (9-7) face the Los Angeles Angels (8-9) in the second game of their four-game series. The Yankees won a wild 11-10 game in Monday’s opener with the winning run scoring on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning. Aaron Judge and Mike Trout each hit two home runs in the game. The Yankees' Ryan Weber (0-1, 2.81 ERA) is scheduled to face the Angels' Reid Detmers (0-1, 4.60 ERA).

Carlsson is also skating on the top line and first power-play unit, and the Anaheim Ducks are still battling for postseason seeding ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Minnesota Wild.

Prop #3: Brandt Clarke Over 1.5 shots
-130 at BET99
Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke has seen a dip in his shots with just six across his past five games, but he’s still recorded 18 attempts during the stretch.
Clarke continues to see power-play time and sports a 57.5% shot rate at five-on-five, so I expect him to pick up two or more in a favorable matchup against the Vancouver Canucks.
Vancouver has allowed the sixth-most shots per game (29.4) while ranking 30th in Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5 since March 1.

It’s still extremely early, and the sample sizes we’re analyzing and dissecting in the lower minors barely qualify as meaningful. However, that doesn’t mean everything should be dismissed as noise. A handful of early-season performances have stood out, not just for the on-field results, but for the broader developmental changes they may be signaling.
This week’s Rotoworld Dynasty Stock Watch examines 12 prospects on the rise with varying trajectories and timelines to the big leagues that fantasy managers should be prioritizing in trade discussions and on waiver wires.
⚾ Baseball is back! MLB returns to NBC and Peacock in 2026! In addition to becoming the exclusive home of Sunday Night Baseball, NBC Sports will broadcast MLB Sunday Leadoff, “Opening Day” and Labor Day primetime games, the first round of the MLB Draft, the entire Wild Card round of the postseason, and much more.
There are hot starts, then there's the heater Arias is on as the fourth-youngest position player at the Double-A level this season behind only Jesús Made, Leo De Vries and Ethan Salas. The 20-year-old shortstop has been a known commodity in dynasty formats for a couple of years, but he’s opened the 2026 campaign as arguably the hottest hitters in the entire minors, batting .588 (10-for-17) with two doubles, two walks and just two strikeouts through six games for Double-A Portland.
He boasts some of the best bat-to-ball skills in the minors, evidenced by a minuscule 10.1 percent strikeout rate across 110 games over three levels last year, which was the fifth-lowest mark among all minor leaguers with at least 500 plate appearances. There’s still some physical projection remaining, as Arias figures to add strength as he matures, making it easy to envision a leap into the upper echelon of fantasy prospects given his already elite contact ability. It’s possible this is merely the starting point, with Arias positioning himself to be one of the top prospects in the entire fantasy landscape by the end of the year.
Franklin Arias has had a scorching hot start at the plate to start the season. The 20-year-old is the No. 2 prospect in the Red Sox system and sure is playing like it
Dzierwa recorded nine strikeouts over six shutout innings with an eye-popping 17 swinging strikes in his professional debut earlier this month, which he followed up by allowing two runs over seven innings last week. The early returns include a sparkling 1.38 ERA and a 12/1 K/BB ratio across 13 innings for High-A Frederick. The towering six-foot-eight left-hander was Baltimore’s second-round selection in last year’s MLB Draft and appears to be on a trajectory towards becoming one of the more intriguing pitching prospects in the fantasy landscape.
The 21-year-old has continued to add fastball velocity, touching 96.2 mph on his sinker during last month’s Spring Breakout game. He pairs it with an above-average changeup and a developing slider that remains a work in progress. The sinker/changeup combination alone gives him a chance to succeed at the highest level, provided he can throw strikes consistently. His dynasty stock should continue to rise as he racks up strikeouts in the lower minors, making this an ideal window to acquire Dzierwa before he potentially becomes untouchable as one of the game’s top pitching prospects.
It’s hard to find a more intriguing early-season dynasty storyline than Gillen’s unexpected power surge. The 20-year-old former first-round pick from the 2024 MLB Draft recorded consecutive two-homer games over the weekend and is hitting .333 (9-for-27) with four homers and three steals in eight games for High-A Bowling Green. It’s important to not overreact to extremely small sample sizes, but Gillen is clearly making much more consistent hard contact this season after managing just five round-trippers in 324 plate appearances at Low-A Charleston last year when he missed time with calf and finger injuries.
What’s even more impressive is that Bowling Green grades out as one of the more pitcher-friendly venues in the entire Midwest League, according to Baseball America’s park factors. Gillen’s early-season metamorphosis from more of a hit tool and speed profile to more of a well-rounded offensive threat is a development worth monitoring in the coming weeks because it would make him an upper-echelon dynasty prospect in short order.
THEO GILLEN YET AGAIN!
In his past 5 at-bats, @RaysBaseball's top prospect has 4 homers
Peña blossomed into an upper-echelon prospect from a fantasy standpoint last year when he batted .270/.335/.422 with nine homers and 44 steals between Low-A Carolina and High-A Wisconsin at just 18 years old during a highly impressive stateside debut. He’ll continue to understandably be overshadowed by Jesús Made, who looks like a future franchise cornerstone hitting .359 (14-for-39) as the youngest everyday player in Double-A this season, but he possesses a plethora of fantasy-relevant skills including an above-average hit tool and massive stolen base upside.
He’s off to a fast start back at High-A Wisconsin, hitting .500 (10-for-20) with a pair of extra-base hits and five steals through six games. There’s a chance he becomes an elite fantasy contributor down the road if he continues to fill out physically and grows into some additional over-the-fence pop.

The biggest question facing Wood coming out of last year’s MLB Draft, when he was selected 26th overall following a standout collegiate career at Arkansas that included the third no-hitter in College World Series history, was whether he would ultimately stick as a starter.
The 22-year-old right-hander is beginning to answer those concerns, posting a 1.23 ERA with a 15/2 K/BB ratio across 7 1/3 innings in his professional debut at Low-A Clearwater. While it’s not uncommon for polished collegiate arms to dominate at the lower levels, Wood appears on track to reach the upper minors quickly thanks to an upper-90s fastball and a strong curveball. He carries more risk than some of his lower-minors pitching peers, but the strikeout potential is undeniable, and the fantasy upside is significant if he can put everything together and stay healthy long-term.
Gage Wood is making quick work of his Single-A competition once again
Level has gotten off to a sizzling-hot start with multiple hits in five of six games and is batting an astronomical .519 (14-for-27) with two homers and three steals at Low-A San Jose this season. The 19-year-old switch-hitting shortstop was one of last year's biggest risers as he rocketed through a couple levels in San Francisco's system to finish at Low-A. He manages to hit for a ton of power considering his smaller frame and his hit tool is one of the strongest of any teenage prospect in the minors. He’s hit wherever the Giants have sent him over the last three seasons and his fantasy stock will reach stratospheric levels if he’s producing in the upper minors by the end of the year.
No-doubt home run off the bat of Top 100 prospect Jhonny Level!
Eyanson paired with Mariners top pitching prospect Kade Anderson to form a one-two punch for eventual national champion LSU last spring and has looked like a potential breakout arm through his first two starts at High-A Greenville in his professional debut, compiling a microscopic 1.23 ERA, 0.41 WHIP and 13/0 K/BB ratio across 7 1/3 innings. Those early performances are enough to put him firmly on dynasty radars, but the buzz began earlier this spring when he flashed increased velocity on the backfields.
The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier wrote for Baseball America earlier this month that Eyanson, a third-round pick in last year’s MLB Draft, touched triple digits for the first time in his career during Boston’s spring breakout game against the Orioles and is now routinely sitting in the upper-90s with his fastball. He fits the mold of a fast-moving pitching prospect and should be rostered in all dynasty formats.

Caleb Bonemer, SS, White Sox
Bonemer drew rave reviews during his professional debut last year when he hit .281/.400/.458 with 10 homers and 27 steals for Low-A Kannapolis before going deep twice in 11 games at High-A Winston-Salem to close out the year. The 20-year-old shortstop, who was Chicago’s second-round pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, has picked up right where he left off in the low minors, slashing .303/.385/.667 with two homers and seven RBI through nine contests at High-A this season. It’s early, but with all of the graduations at the top of dynasty prospect lists, Bonemer has a chance to be near the top when the dust settles in a couple weeks.
Cunningham was widely regarded as the top pure hitter in last year’s MLB Draft when he was gobbled up by Arizona with the 18th overall selection, and he’s done nothing to dispel that notion, hitting .385 (10-for-26) with more walks (nine) than strikeouts (four) through eight games at Low-A Visalia this season. The 19-year-old’s advanced hit tool should make him an on-base machine and enable him to move quickly through the hitter-friendly environments in the Diamondbacks’ system.
He’s basically a complete zero in the power department at this early stage of his development, but it’s easy to forecast some growth there as he matures physically. He projects as a high-floor contact-oriented prospect with the upside to develop into a complete five-category fantasy contributor if he reaches his ceiling. His dynasty stock is going to skyrocket over the next few months if he keeps tearing the cover off the ball and reaches High-A by midseason.
Caminiti has been somewhat overlooked with Didier Fuentes and JR Ritchie making noise on the doorstep of the majors, but he has a chance to emerge as the most impactful arm in Atlanta’s system over the long term. The 19-year-old left-hander was selected 24th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft as one of the top prep arms in his class and has already shown an ability to consistently miss bats in the lower minors.
He’s still a long way from the big leagues, but his dynasty stock could soar over the next few months if he continues to deliver strong performances and reaches Double-A Mississippi before his 20th birthday in early August.
Marek Houston, SS, Twins
Houston, the 16th-overall selection in last year's MLB Draft, has gotten off to a nice start in the lower minors after a 15-homer effort during his final collegiate season at Wake Forrest. The fact that he’s adding some additional pop isn’t a surprise given his six-foot-three frame, but two homers in eight games is a noticeable uptick considering the Midwest League isn’t exactly a hitter’s paradise.
The 21-year-old is a phenomenal defensive shortstop, so any additional gains in the power department without sacrificing his athleticism will make him extremely interesting from a fantasy standpoint over the next few years. He's a name to watch in all dynasty formats.
Santiago Suarez, SP, Rays
Suarez has been a known quantity for dynasty managers in recent years, but a shoulder injury sidelined him for three months last season and likely pushed him off some radar screens. The 21-year-old right-hander has looked sharp through a pair of early-season starts at Double-A Montgomery, compiling a pristine 15/2 K/BB ratio across 11 innings.
The strong performances are even more notable considering he’s the fourth-youngest player in the entire Southern League this season. While he may not project as a prototypical front-of-the-rotation arm, Suarez features a deep arsenal built around a mid-90s fastball and solid secondary offerings. Perhaps most importantly, he’s shown the ability to command his entire repertoire and consistently fill the strike zone, which tends to be a key ingredient for sustained success at the highest level.
Bonus: Bryce Rainer, SS, Tigers
Rainer has been ice-cold, hitting .120 (3-for-25) through seven games this season at Low-A Lakeland, but he connected for a gargantuan 477-foot home run last Friday, showcasing the type of elite raw power that made him one of the fastest-rising prospects in the dynasty landscape before undergoing shoulder surgery last July. It’s going to take the 20-year-old power-hitting shortstop some time to knock off the rust, which is why this is the perfect time to target him in dynasty leagues. He could join Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark as core building blocks for Detroit at some point in the next few years.
For a moment, the game itself almost felt secondary.
The puck slid off Tyson Foerster’s stick in the shootout, the net rippled, and the Philadelphia Flyers were inches away from that seemingly ever-elusive playoff berth. All Dan Vladar had to do was save the next shootout attempt from the Carolina Hurricanes.
He did.
Everything that followed—the raised arms, the collision of bodies by Vladar's net, the roar that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than the building—was not just about celebrating this singular night, but more about six years of waiting finally giving way.
The Philadelphia Flyers are going back to the playoffs.
A 3–2 shootout win over the Carolina Hurricanes sealed it, closing their season series at 1–1–2 and, more importantly, ending a postseason drought that had lingered long enough to define an era. It did not come easily. But nothing worth having ever does.
It came the way this season has unfolded—hard, emotional, and earned. And in the aftermath, inside a locker room that has spent months building toward this moment, the reaction said everything.
“That’s a big win. Man…it’s gonna be a lot of fun,” said Owen Tippett, visibly fighting emotion. “These guys in this room love each other so much. All the doubters all year—we believed right from the start, right from training camp. It’s gonna be a blast, and we’re gonna soak it all in, but job’s not done.”

1. A Historic Climb That Redefines What This Team Is
This wasn’t supposed to happen. Not like this.
On March 10, the Flyers sat nine points out of a playoff spot. Historically, that distance, especially this late in the season, has been insurmountable. According to NHL Stats, no team had ever overcome that deficit after 60 games played to qualify for the postseason.
Until now.
The Flyers had their ups and downs and moments of uncertainty. They had stretches where they looked like a playoff-caliber team, and stretches were it looked like they didn't have a shot in hell. But this team thrived on the negativity and doubt and ridicule, and turned it into something historic.
And they did so not with a single surge, but with sustained, disciplined, resilient hockey over weeks—on the road, in tight games, in moments where a single misstep could have ended the push. It reframes the narrative from unexpected to earned. This isn’t a team that backed into the playoffs. It is one that forced its way in, game by game, shift by shift.
A visibly emotional Owen Tippett said that a lot of the Flyers success has come behind the scenes, “the stuff that no one sees.” You can tell how much this means to the players.
Trevor Zegras delivered again, tying the game with his 26th goal, extending his point streak to 13 points in his last 13 games and further cementing one of the most productive debut seasons in franchise history, trailing only Mike Knuble, Danny Briere, and Wayne Simmonds over the past three decades.

And then there was Tyson Foerster.
His shootout winner was the moment, of course, but it's almost poetic that the winning goal was scored by a player that suffered a devastating upper-body injury in December and wasn't guaranteed to return to play at all this season.
Head coach Rick Tocchet admitted, "I didn't think he was gonna come back. But he was determined. It was a lot of lonely, lonely days for him [while recovering]. He just adds that sniper for us. That's a hell of a goal."
FOERSTER SCORES IT & VLADAR STOPS IT SENDING THE FLYERS TO THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2020!!! 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/wfpIPxnrrC
Earlier in the game, Foerster also recorded his 100th NHL point.
Behind it all, Dan Vladar stood composed in the shootout, blocking every single Hurricanes attempt, his confidence unwavering in his own teammates' abilities.
“I was fine, I was confident, because when you practice with the best, nothing can surprise you," he said postgame. "I think we’ve got the best shooters in the league for shootouts. I was confident in the guys in front of me like I’ve been the whole season, so no doubt.”
3. Experience Is Limited, But Leadership Has Bridged the Gap
What makes this moment even more significant is how new it is for most of this roster.
Only three players—Sean Couturier, Travis Konecny, and Travis Sanheim—have experienced playoff hockey in a Flyers uniform.
For everyone else, this is uncharted territory.
And yet, throughout the stretch run, there has been no sense of a team overwhelmed by the moment. That is the result of leadership that has translated expectation into action.
Couturier’s presence, in particular, has been emblematic of the team-first mentality that has defined this group. Whether in a top-line role or a more grinding assignment, his willingness to adapt has set a tone that has rippled throughout the lineup.
The result is a team that, while relatively inexperienced in postseason play, is not inexperienced in high-pressure hockey, because they’ve been playing it for weeks.

4. The Emotional Core of This Team Is Its Greatest Strength
Some teams talk endlessly about culture. The Flyers have lived it.
The emotion in the room after the game was not performative. It was the natural release of a group that has endured doubt, external skepticism, and internal challenges, and stayed together through all of it.
Trevor Zegras captured the feeling in a way that statistics, frankly, never could.
“It’s just a lot of fun. When you don’t do it for so long, you forget what it feels like," he said. "For an athlete, you thrive on that kind of environment, and that’s what you want. To do it with this group of guys is awesome, because we’re obviously so close and love each other so much. It’s been good.”
And Matvei Michkov, through translator Slava Kuznetsov, expressed the magnitude of the moment.
“Unbelievable feeling. I cannot really describe what’s going on," he said. "The team was striving to make the playoffs the entire season, and it’s finally happened. It’s beyond describing. We can now be happy and get ready for the next games. Every team has the same goal at the end of it, so everybody knows what it is, and we’re going to go for it.”

5. Rick Tocchet’s Vision Has Materialized—And Set the Next Standard
In the quieter moments after the celebration, head coach Rick Tocchet didn’t overstate the achievement. He didn’t need to.
“I didn’t talk very much [after the win]," he revealed. "Just really proud of those guys. Right from training camp, we put up a preseason prediction, and a lot of people [in the media] had us last. I put it up there to make those guys understand the position we’re in, but it was all them. I’m really proud of the way they’ve stuck with it since training camp. It’s a tough game; Carolina’s a tough team. They didn’t give in. We had to earn it, and we did.”
From the first day of camp to this moment, the Flyers have built something deliberate, rooted in resilience, structure, and collective accountability. They've always known who they are and believed in that identity, even when it seemed like everyone else had already counted them out.
Now, that identity has produced something beautiful and tangible. But it has also created expectation.
Getting to the playoffs isn't easy for anyone, and it certainly felt even more laborious for the Flyers. An impending postseason series against their bitter rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, only adds to the drama of it all. But the Flyers are riding an unbelievable high right now, and it will be undeniably exciting to see what their playoff form looks like.

How to watch New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Reminder: I’m on vacation all this week and will be a little briefer than usual this week. Thanks for your patience.
At least once in every season, a baseball fan’s faith will be tested. Losing nine of 16 games is not particularly a sky-is-falling stretch. The easiest example that hits close to home is the 2016 Cubs losing 15 of 20 in one stretch. That isn’t to say that an early season stretch like this can’t be damaging. It certainly can be.
Losing Cade Horton for the season is a trajectory-altering occurrence. The seasons of Jameson Taillon, Shōta Imanaga, Javier Assad, Colin Rea, Justin Steele and Ben Brown now have all taken on added significance. Imanaga and Rea look to be on the right track. Will they stay there? How many of the others will get on track? That group has to somehow patch together enough innings to pair with a very good Cubs defense to get them on track as a team. This organization should have the financial and prospect capital to grab an impact player or two this summer. But, the guys in the clubhouse have to position them into the race if that’s going to happen.
Monday night, Javier Assad was just not the pitcher we saw in his season debut a week ago. This looked more like the numbers he put up in two starts for Iowa. Frustratingly, had the Cubs cut bait on him earlier, maybe the game wasn’t out of reach. If the game had sequenced differently, no doubt Philadelphia would have approached their side of the equation differently. But, this one got a heck of a lot closer at the end.
It isn’t often that you lose by six and can say also that the game wasn’t as close as the final score.
Three Positives:
Dansby Swanson had a homer, drew a walk, scored twice and drove in two.
Moises Ballesteros had two hits in two at bats, one a double. He scored one and drove one in.
Miguel Amaya had a pair of hits. He was also hit by pitch and had one run scored.

Kid: Pete Crow-Armstrong (-.097). 1-5, RBI, R
WPA Play of the Game: Dansby Swanson’s two-run homer in the fourth cut it to 4-2. (.117)
*Phillies Play of the Game: In the top of the fifth, Ian Happ batted with runners on first and second and one out, the Cubs down two. He grounded into an inning ending double play. (.113)
Cubs Player of the Game:
Up Next: Game two of the series Tuesday night. Colin Rea (1-0, 3.18, 11.1 IP) should get the bulk of the innings, following Riley Martin (0-0, 0.00, 3.1 IP) as an opener. Aaron Nola (1-1, 3.63, 17.1 IP) gets the start for the Phillies.
