Carlos Correa Sitting On Sunday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the starting lineup on Sunday when the Twins conclude a series against the Detroit Tigers. Correa has started in each of the first 15 games of the regular season. As a result, utility man Willi Castro will cover shortstop in this contest and bat third. After posting an underwhelming .111/179/.139 slash line through his first 10 games of the regular season, Correa has begun to turn the corner, posting a .263/.333/.474 slash line with four doubles over his last five contests. Fantasy managers should expect the 30-year-old to return to the starting nine on Monday evening when the Twins host the New York Mets. Despite his slow start, Correa remains a must-start option in all formats as he posted a .310/.388/.517 line last summer.

Clarke Schmidt Set To Start On Wednesday

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) is set to make his season debut on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. He is expected to face Kansas City southpaw Kris Bubic. Schmidt has been on the 15-day injured list through the early part of the campaign due to rotator cuff tendinitis. Schmidt has made two appearances with Double-A Somerset and did not allow a run across seven 1/3 innings of work. He has struck out 11 batters and allowed one free pass with four total hits. Last season, Schmidt was limited by injuries as well, but was effective when on the bump. Across 85 1/3 innings of work, Schmidt posted a strong 26.3 percent strikeout rate with a 2.85 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. He is a solid play in all formats on Wednesday against the Royals.

David Festa Set To Make Another Start On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher David Festa is expected to make another start on Wednesday against the New York Mets. With Pablo Lopez (hamstring) hitting the 15-day injured list, the Twins promoted Festa from Triple-A St. Paul to fill his spot in the rotation. Festa performed well in his season debut on Friday against the Detroit Tigers as he tossed four 2/3 innings of one-run ball (unearned run). He allowed three hits and held a 1:4 BB:K. Earlier in the season at Triple-A, Festa logged eight 1/3 innings and posted a modest 5.40 ERA with a 1.85 WHIP. Last season, Festa made his MLB debut and flashed decent upside at times as he posted a 4.90 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP across 64 1/3 innings. He struck out 77 batters and allowed 23 free passes. If Festa were to struggle during his stint in the majors, fellow young right-hander Zebby Matthews could be in the mix to join the Minnesota rotation. For now, Festa is worth adding in all 12+ team formats given his strikeout upside.

Marcus Stroman Receives Cortisone Shot

New York Yankees starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (knee) received a cortisone shot in his swollen knee. Manager Aaron Boone noted that he hopes Stroman's timeline is not "too long." The Yankees placed Stroman on the 15-day injured list on Saturday following his outing on Friday evening. On Friday, Stroman allowed four hits, three walks, and five earned runs across just 2/3 innings of work against the Giants. After the contest, Stroman said that his knee was bothering him during this outing. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but should expect him to miss at least the next two weeks of action. When he does return, Stroman may not be guaranteed a spot in the rotation as he has allowed four or more runs in two of his three starts this season. As a result, he is not worth stashing in any standard format.

Andy Pages Heads To Bench On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers will give Pages the night off after going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. In his absence, Tommy Edman will cover center field while Miguel Rojas takes over second base versus right-hander Colin Rea. Pages has been quiet early in the season with only seven hits, two homers, and two RBI to begin the year.
