Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (leg) was pulled from Saturday's contest with an apparent leg injury. Adell sustained this injury while running to first base. He was replaced by Kyren Paris. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contests on Sunday afternoon. Before exiting, Adell tallied one hit and a walk. During his first game of the campaign, Adell went 1-for-3 in the batter's box with a strikeout. The former 10th overall pick began to turn the corner at the major league level last season as he went deep 20 times and added 15 doubles. He generated a strong 11.7 percent barrel rate and placed in the 98th percentile in bat speed. If Adell were to miss time, Paris would likely see most of the opportunities in right field.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (back) was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to back spasms. As a result, Edmundo Sosa will cover shortstop and bat ninth. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to their next contest on Sunday. If Turner were to miss an extended period, Sosa would likely see most of the starting opportunities. Last season, Turner posted a .295/.338/.469 slash line with 25 doubles and 21 long balls. He swiped 19 bags and showed a strong eye at the plate as he posted a strong 18.2 percent strikeout rate. Last summer, Sosa posted a .257/.313/.422 line with 12 doubles and seven round-trippers. He will face Washington right-hander Jake Irvin, who held a 4.41 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP last season.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer (lat) was pulled from Saturday's contest due to lat soreness. Scherzer was only able to log three innings before exiting. He tossed three innings of two-run ball. He allowed two solo shots, one to outfielder Colton Cowser and one to infielder Jordan Westburg. Fantasy managers should monitor Scherzer's status leading up to his next start, as he may need to miss time. During camp, he was dealing with a thumb injury and was even in danger of missing his start on Saturday. Last season, the 40-year-old battled numerous injuries, as he logged just 43 1/3 innings of work with a 3.95 ERA. Yariel Rodriguez would likely see opportunities in the rotation if he were to miss time.

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong and outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela are not in the starting nine on Saturday when they continue a four-game set against the Texas Rangers. Wong got the starting nod in each of the first two games and went 1-for-7 at the plate with a 1:1 BB:K. Rafaela started in each of the first two games as well and covered center field, and went 0-for-8 at the plate. As a result, Carlos Narvaez will get the start behind the dish and Jarren Duran will shift to center field, which opens left field for Kristian Campbell, and allows David Hamilton to enter the lineup and cover the keystone. Fantasy managers should expect both Wong and Rafaela to return to the starting nine for the final game of the series on Sunday afternoon. Narvaez and Hamilton are not worth considering in DFS facing Texas right-hander Tyler Mahle.

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The rookie slugger will get a day off after playing in the first four games to begin the season. Gage Workman will cover third base and bat eighth versus right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Workman put on a solid performance in spring training, but probably isn't going to offer much fantasy value in a bench role. The expectation is that Shaw will return to the lineup after his rest day here.
