Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is getting a rare day off on Sunday as the team faces the Astros in Houston. With Correa out, Willi Castro will make the start at the 6 for the Twins and will bat sixth against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. Correa will get a breather after starting in each of the team's last 21 games. He wrapped up the month of May on Friday by hitting .255 (25-for-98) with three home runs, nine doubles, two triples, 14 RBI, 10 walks and 22 strikeouts in 110 plate appearances over 27 games. The two-time All-Star is currently healthy and is a must-start when he's in the starting lineup in most fantasy leagues. Castro has been much better against lefties in 2024 but his hitting a respectable .260 (51-for-196) overall with four homers and seven stolen bases in a utility role for the Twins. He's never faced Brown in his career.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will start Sunday's contest versus the visiting Minnesota Twins on the bench and give way to Mauricio Dubon, who will start at the keystone and bat sixth against Twins rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson. It's just the second time all year that Altuve hasn't started a game for the Astros. Fantasy managers will want to move him to their benches for Sunday's action. The 34-year-old perennial All-Star has avoided the injury bug so far in 2024 and continues to be a hitting machine, slashing .292/.346/.450 with nine home runs, 20 RBI, eight stolen bases and 34 runs scored in his 240 at-bats. Expect him to be back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Dubon has done nothing but hit this year as well but only has two homers and two steals to show for it.

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz is out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Twins for the second straight day. Victor Caratini will do the catching again for right-hander Hunter Brown and will bat in the seven-hole for the team against Twins rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson. The Astros are hoping a few days away from the game will let Diaz clear his head during a pretty bad slump. The 25-year-old Dominican backstop hit just .200 (17-for-85) with no homers, five doubles, 10 RBI, one walk and 15 strikeouts in 89 plate appearances over 25 games (23 starts) in the month of May to drop his season slash line to .249/.278/.358 with three homers and 23 RBI in 205 plate appearances. Caratini has hit .247 (19-for-77) on the year with three homers and 14 RBI and will be a low-upside catching option in DFS.

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and is batting in his customary leadoff spot on Sunday as he faces the Cleveland Guardians and veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Abrams is back in the starting lineup for the Nats after he jammed his shoulder while diving for a ball on Friday and was scratched on Saturday. It obviously wasn't a serious injury, though, so fantasy managers will want to get the budding 23-year-old superstar back into their lineups in all leagues. However, keep in mind that he has gone hitless in his last 14 at-bats with eight strikeouts in his last three games. The former sixth overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2019 is currently hitting .249/.295/.456 with nine homers, 26 RBI, eight steals and 32 runs scored in 53 games. Abrams has gone hitless in five career at-bats against Carrasco.

Washington Nationals outfielder Jacob Young (hand) is not in Sunday's starting lineup against the hosting Cleveland Guardians. Young is out of the lineup for the series finale in Cleveland after he was forced to leave Saturday's game early due to swelling in his right hand. For now, fantasy managers should consider the speedy 24-year-old outfielder to be day-to-day and check back to see if he's available to play in Monday's series opener against the visiting New York Mets. In his first full big-league season, Young has made himself useful in all fantasy leagues, although he still doesn't have a home run since debuting in 2023. In 48 games in 2024, he's hit .267 (39-for-146) with seven doubles, 14 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 25 runs scored. Jesse Winker is in left field and batting cleanup, while Eddie Rosario is in right field and hitting seventh on Sunday against Guardians right-hander Carlos Carrasco.
