Washington Nationals starting pitcher Trevor Williams has been moved up to start Sunday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Williams was expected to start during their upcoming series against the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers next week. However, with Michael Soroka (biceps) on the injured list, the Nationals will have to shift their starting pitchers. Williams made his first start of the season on April 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays. In this start, Williams allowed 10 hits and three earned runs across five innings of work. Last season, the 32-year-old held a strong 2.03 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP across 66 innings of work. However, he generated a much higher 3.17 xERA, which suggests he should see regression this summer. He should not be targeted in DFS facing a potent Arizona lineup.

New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice and utility player Oswaldo Cabrera are not in the starting lineup when they conclude a three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates. With southpaw Andrew Heaney getting the starting nod for the Pirates, Rice will retreat to the bench. Cabrera was also held out of action on Saturday. As a result, Aaron Judge will shift to the designated hitter spot, and Oswald Peraza will get another start at the hot corner. With Judge shifted to DH, Trent Grisham will be able to stay in the lineup even with Cody Bellinger (back) returning to action. Rice has enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, posting a .320/.433/.640 slash line with two home runs. Cabrera has held a strong .316 AVG but appears to be losing time to Peraza. Both players will likely return tomorrow afternoon, facing right-hander Casey Mize.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman (hamstring) was activated off the injured list on Sunday and will be given the starting nod in right field in their contest against the Detroit Tigers. Tauchman will bat in the leadoff spot. The 34-year-old suffered this injury during spring training and is set to make his White Sox debut this afternoon. Tauchman has spent the past two seasons playing for the Chicago Cubs. Last season, Tauchman appeared in 109 contests for the Cubs and posted a .248/.357/.366 slash line with 12 doubles and seven round-trippers. He tallied 29 RBI and scored 50 runs. He drew walks at an elite 13.4 percent rate, which is likely why the White Sox are providing him the opportunity to bat at the top of the order. He is worth a look in DFS as a value play facing rookie right-hander Jackson Jobe, who struggled in his first start of the campaign.

Sunday's contest at Truist Park between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves was postponed due to inclement weather, pushing right-hander Sandy Alcantara back. Alcantara also will not start in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets at Citi Field, as he and his wife expecting a baby girl. He will fly back to Miami on Sunday and will be placed on the paternity list on Monday. The 29-year-old will be away from the team for a few days and won't be able to take his next turn in the starting rotation until later this week, most likely for a series with the division-rival Washington Nationals back in Miami next weekend. Miami's starter for Monday's game in New York is TBD at the moment. The Dominican hurler has a 3.72 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and four walks in 9 2/3 innings in his first two starts after missing all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (rib) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Braves designated Chadwick Tomp for assignment to open a spot on the roster. Murphy has been sidelined since the start of March after suffering a fractured rib. He recently participated in a rehab assignment at the Triple-A level and should be expected to operate as Atlanta's No. 1 backstop going forward. Last season, Murphy had a disappointing campaign as he posted a .193/.284/.352 line with 10 home runs. However, during the 2023 season, Murphy enjoyed an impressive start to his Atlanta tenure, holding a .251/.365/.478 slash line with 21 long balls. Murphy should be viewed as a high-end No. 2 catcher in two-catcher formats going forward.
