Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser is making his first start of the year on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Alec Marsh, starting in left field and batting eighth. Austin Hays will start on the bench on Tuesday. The 24-year-old Cowser has gone 1-for-3 so far on the year off the bench through the team's first four games. He earned a spot on Baltimore's Opening Day roster by hitting .304/.418/.717 with six home runs and 13 RBI in 55 Grapefruit League plate appearances. However, Cowser's spot at the bottom of the O's batting order on Tuesday doesn't make him a terribly attractive DFS play, and the weather on the East Coast doesn't look excellent, either.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zach Eflin will be taking the mound for his second start of the season on Tuesday when they host the Texas Rangers. Eflin was hit hard in his first start of the season against the Toronto Blue Jays, as the right-hander went 5.2 innings allowing six runs on six hits, including three homers while striking out five. Eflin will now face a Rangers lineup that is slashing .280/.375/.503 which ranks eighth, fourth, and third in the majors so Eflin will have his hands full if he's going to bounce back.

Los Angeles Angels second baseman Luis Rengifo is out of the lineup on Tuesday. The Angels are on the road to play the second game of a three-game series against the Miami Marlins but will be without the switch-hitting second baseman as LA is starting Brandon Drury there instead. Rengifo has played in three of the four games for the Angels and is slashing .286/.286/429, but is without an RBI.

Minnesota Twins right-hander Louie Varland is set for his first start of the 2024 MLB season. Varland made the team out of camp, which was the first time in his career that happened as he started last season in Triple-A. Varland ended up pitching in 17 games, starting 10 for the Twins last season, and went 4-3 with a 4.63 ERA. Varland will face a Milwaukee Brewers lineup that is slashing .303/.364/.413. The Twins enter play on Tuesday with a record of 2-1.

Left-hander Jesus Luzardo will take the mound at home for the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in his second start of the season. Luzardo went five innings, allowing two runs on two hits, while walking two and striking out eight in his first start against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He will now face an Angels lineup that is slashing .195/.264/.383. Luzardo has faced the Angels six times, but just once as a starter, and is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA. Mike Trout has taken the lefty deep three times in just five at-bats, so Luzardo is looking to find better success on Tuesday to pick up his first win of the season.
