Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (elbow) was pulled early during Sunday's appearance against the New York Mets. The 30-year-old was only able to throw one pitch before exiting the game due to elbow discomfort. Following the game, Reds' manager David Bell said Antone will undergo an MRI on Monday. This is a tough blow to the Reds bullpen, assuming Antone is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Monday for another update on his status.


Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley launched his second home run of the season to power the Braves to a series sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Riley was held without a hit until the eighth inning when he launched a two-run shot to center field off Miguel Castro to score Ozzie Albies. The 27-year-old came into Sunday's game with a strong .258/.303/.452 stat line. Riley should continue to hit cleanup, as he has done all season for one of the best lineups in baseball, making him an elite option in both season-long and DFS formats. Riley and Braves will host their division rival, the New York Mets, for a four-game set beginning on Monday, with Julio Teheran scheduled to start for the opposition in the series opener.


Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof had a dominant day at the plate on Sunday, going 4-5 with nine total bases. Gelof wasted no time hitting an RBI triple in the top of the first to score Abraham Toro and then would eventually cross home plate off a JJ Bleday single. In the second, Gelof launched his first home run of the season to score Ryan Noda and Toro once again. The 24-year-old then knocked a single in both the seventh and ninth innings to cap off the day. This is a positive sign for fantasy managers as Gelof entered this game sporting an underwhelming .156/.289/.219 stat line. Gelof will look to stay hot as he takes on the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, with Nathan Eovaldi tentatively scheduled to be on the bump.


New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz earned his second save of the season by throwing a clean ninth inning. The right-handed pitcher struck out Jake Fraley on a foul tip on his first out, got Luke Maile to fly out to center field for the second, and tallied his second punch out against Nick Martini to earn the final out. This was Diaz's second save opportunity of the season and remains perfect to start the young campaign. The 30-year-old has pitched five innings and has yet to surrender an earned run with a minuscule 0.40 WHIP. Diaz remains an elite relief pitcher in fantasy and should finish near, if not, at the top of save totals at the end of the season.


Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer threw seven innings of one-run ball in a 3-2 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Kremer kept the Bucs at bay as he allowed five hits and one unearned run with six strikeouts. Kremer looked sharp across the first four frames, only allowing three hits. In the fifth, Edward Olivares was able to score but only reached scoring position due to a throwing error. Kremer then locked it down by only allowing one base runner over his last two innings. The Orioles were unable to hold the lead for Kremer, leaving him with a no-decision. Kremer struggled in his first start of the season as he allowed three runs in five innings, but he looked sharp today. The 28-year-old tentatively lines up for a home start against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 13.
