New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez will get his first day off of the year for Monday's series opener in Detroit against the Tigers at Comerica Field. Cody Bellinger will slide over to left field and bat third, while Trent Grisham will get another start in center and hit eighth in the batting order versus Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Dominguez will get his first breather of 2025 after starting the year going 8-for-33 (.242) with a home run, three doubles, three RBI, one steal, seven runs scored, four walks and nine strikeouts in 38 trips to the plate over nine games. The 22-year-old should be back in there for the second game of the series in Motown on Tuesday. The Yankees want to keep Grisham's bat in the lineup after he hit two homers and drove in four runs on Saturday against the Pirates. The mustachioed outfielder is on a tear early with three homers and nine RBI in his first 22 at-bats.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter and shortstop Trey Sweeney will take a seat on the bench for Monday's series opener at Comerica Park against the visiting New York Yankees with left-hander Carlos Rodon on the bump. Manuel Margot will start in right field and bat fifth, while Javier Baez will get the start at short and bat sixth. Left-handed-hitting infielder Zach McKinstry is also out of the starting lineup. Carpenter won't also sit against southpaws, but he'll take a seat in this one to begin the week. He's gone just 7-for-32 (.219) in the first nine games of the season, but he's also added three home runs, a double and eight RBI for fantasy managers. Margot is much better against lefties but lacks pop for DFS upside. He's hitting .375 with an RBI in eight career at-bats against Rodon, while Baez is hitting just .133 against Rodon in 15 career at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Juaron Watts-Brown tallied a career-high 10 strikeouts during his first start of the High-A regular season. Watts-Brown was in control during his entire start as he tossed four 2/3 innings of three-hit ball. He did not allow a run and served up just one free pass. This was a strong season debut for Watts-Brown, who struggled during his first taste of High-A last summer. The former third-round selection from the 2023 MLB Draft opened the 2024 campaign with Low-A and held a solid 3.43 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP across 57 2/3 innings. However, he was then moved up to High-A, where he took a step back, holding a high 6.35 ERA with a 1.61 WHIP across 45 1/3 innings. He posted a modest 31:57 BB:K. If Watts-Brown continues progressing at High-A, he should push for a Double-A debut in the coming months.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow pitched two innings, allowing two hits and five runs in his team's 8-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The 31-year-old walked five and struck out two in his abbreviated start. Glasnow completed the first two innings unscathed, but things unraveled in the third. After loading the bases with a Bryce Harper single, he uncorked a wild pitch -- scoring a run -- and walked Max Kepler before getting the yank. Alex Vesia promptly served up a Nick Castellanos grand slam on the next pitch, charging Glasnow with another three earned. Despite the disastrous outing against a strong lineup, he was much better his last time out when he struck out eight, blanking the Braves over five innings. Glasnow will try to return to that form in his next start, which projects to come at home against a hot Chicago Cubs squad next Sunday.

Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana tallied seven punchouts in his Double-A debut on Sunday afternoon. He logged four innings of one-run ball. He allowed just three hits and two walks. After spending the 2024 campaign split between Low-A and High-A, Susana looked strong in his first taste of the upper levels. Last summer, the right-hander held a 4.47 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP across 56 1/3 innings at Low-A. He struck out 81 batters. Then, with High-A Wilmington, Susana posted a similar 4.18 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP through 47 innings of work. However, he continued to flash elite strikeout upside as he tallied 74 over this stretch. On MLB.com, the 21-year-old is considered the No. 3 prospect in Washington and the No. 78 in the sport. Given his elite strikeout potential, he remains a pitcher to keep a close eye on.
