The Texas Rangers are calling up top prospect Justin Foscue from the minors on Tuesday, according to sources. The 25-year-old was a first-round pick (14th overall) in 2020 out of Mississippi State and can play first, second and third base. He'll fill the roster spot of third baseman Josh Jung, who suffered a broken right wrist when he was hit by a pitch on Monday. With first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) also on the injured list, Foscue should see a good amount of playing time between the two corner-infield spots, making him an immediate waiver-wire pickup in at least AL-only fantasy leagues. He hit .266/.394/.468 with 18 homers and 14 steals in 122 games with Triple-A Round Rock in 2023 and is listed as Texas' No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck pitched beautifully on Monday against the Athletics, tossing six scoreless innings with a whopping 10 strikeouts, suitable for a quality start and win for Houck. Despite facing a lowly Athletics lineup, Houck dominated, giving up only three hits and did not walk a batter. Houck is lined up for another start this week against the Los Angeles Angels and its mediocre lineup. After Monday's outstanding performance, Houck is worth starting against the Angels this weekend and picking up if he is on waivers.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie took the loss on Monday, getting smacked around for five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks with only two strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. McKenzie struggled in this game, as he needed about 80 pitches to get into the fourth inning. McKenzie would end up being done in by Dominic Canzone's three-run homer in the second inning. McKenzie is in line for another start later this week against the Twins. Start him at your own risk, as McKenzie could struggle again against an excellent Twins lineup tied for the most home runs as a team in 2023.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher James Paxton faced off against the San Francisco Giants for his first start as a Dodger on Monday. Paxton threw five scoreless innings, giving up four hits while showing spotty control with five walks in addition to five strikeouts. Despite his spotty control, he kept the Giants off the board while also earning himself the win as the Dodgers scored nine runs in the game. Paxton should have another start this week against the Chicago Cubs. Paxton is worth starting in all leagues, as he plays for a stacked Dodgers team and should pick up a lot of wins for fantasy squads on the cheap.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Riley mashed a pitch from reliever Dominic Leone to right-center field for a three-run homer to blow the game open for the Braves. For the year now through four games, Riley owns a triple-slash line of .294/.368/.588 with five RBI. Look for Riley to continue his dominance at the third base position as he mashes and produces in a stacked Braves lineup. It's another excellent start to the season for Riley, and he looks primed for another productive fantasy season.
