St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker will get hit first day off of the season on Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Twins at Busch Stadium. Lars Nootbaar is in right field and batting leadoff again, while Brendan Donovan will start in left field and bat third against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. The 22-year-old Walker might be in make-or-break season in St. Louis in 2025, but so far he's off to a good start in his first two ball games of the year, going 2-for-5 with two walks and a run scored in eight plate appearances as the team's regular right-fielder. Walker, the team's former top prospect, struggled in 168 big-league games over two seasons coming into this year with a .255/.317/.423 slash line with 154 strikeouts in 643 plate appearances. If Walker can make more contact, his power stroke will play in fantasy, and he's going to get plenty of run to prove himself.

Chicago Cubs infielder Justin Turner will get the starting nod at first base on Sunday when the Cubs conclude their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Turner will cover first base, which will move Michael Busch to the bench. Turner has not received a start through their first four games, but he has been deployed as a pinch-hitter twice. Across two plate appearances, Turner drew one walk and did not tally a hit. Fantasy managers should monitor how the Cubs set their lineup going forward, as Turner may be the primary first baseman when facing southpaws in favor of Busch. Last season, Turner posted a .259/.354/.383 slash line with 11 home runs. The 40-year-old is a viable budget option in DFS this afternoon, facing Arizona southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera is not in Sunday's lineup when the Cardinals conclude a series against the Minnesota Twins. Herrera started behind the plate in each of the first two games of the campaign. At the plate, Herrera enjoyed a hot start as he went 4-for-7 with two doubles and a 1:2 BB:K. He tallied two RBI and scored once. Instead, the Cardinals will turn to Pedro Pages to catch St. Louis right-hander Andre Pallante. Fantasy managers should expect Herrera to continue to be the primary backstop in St. Louis, and he will likely return to the starting nine on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. Last season, the 24-year-old posted a strong .301/.372/.428 slash line with five long balls and five stolen bases. Given his hot start, he is a strong No. 2 catcher in two-catcher formats going forward.

The Texas Rangers have recalled shortstop Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock. Ornelas will provide some depth in the infield as the Rangers placed third baseman Josh Jung (neck) on the 10-day injured list. However, manager Bruce Bochy hopes that Jung only stays on the IL for a minimum stint. Last season, Ornelas appeared in 18 MLB contests and posted .216/.256/.270 slash line with two doubles and a 2:13 BB:K. Across 88 contests at Triple-A last summer, Ornelas posted a .251/.322/.326 line with 10 doubles, three triples, and three home runs. He also swiped nine bags. Fantasy managers should not expect Ornelas to see consistent opportunities, as Josh Smith (quadriceps) will likely see most of the time at the hot corner when he is cleared for action. On Sunday, Ornelas will bat eighth and cover shortstop.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup on Sunday when the Red Sox conclude a series against the Texas Rangers. Story has started each of the past three contests at shortstop. At the plate, Story went 1-for-11 with two runs, two stolen bases, and a 1:3 BB:K. As a result, David Hamilton will cover shortstop and bat eighth against Texas right-hander Jacob deGrom. Fantasy managers should expect Story to return to the starting nine on Monday when the team travels to Camden Yards to face the Baltimore Orioles. Story has battled numerous injuries over the past few seasons, but has performed well through the start of the season. He is a viable depth middle infielder in category formats, given his ability to steal bases and hit for power.
