Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker left Sunday's game with abdominal soreness, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Rooker struck out twice off Jack Flaherty before exiting the game. Rooker was replaced by Lawrence Butler, who hit a single in the top of the fifth inning. The Athletics are off on Monday as they travel to Texas to kick off a three-game set on Tuesday. The day off should bode well for Rooker, as he could be back in the lineup on Tuesday. If not, Lawrence Butler, Seth Brown, or Tyler Nevin are favorites to be slotted into the lineup instead.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto will be batting cleanup for the fifth time this season. The left-handed bat will face San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Matt Waldron in the rubber match of the three-game set on Sunday. Conforto has been swinging a hot bat to open the season with a dominant .382/.432/.765 stat line. The 31-year-old has also hit three round-trippers, scored eight runs, and tallied 10 RBI. Matt Waldron struggled in his first start this season as he allowed nine hits and four runs across four innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, making Conforto a very nice play in DFS, as he should see prime opportunities to bring in and score runs.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck will make his second start of the 2024 season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. Houck was dominant in his first start, throwing six shutout innings with three hits, no walks, and ten punchouts against the Oakland Athletics. Houck relied heavily on two pitches, a sinker, and a slider, that shut down the Oakland lineup. His slider generated a 47.4% whiff rate, and his sinker, a minuscule .058xBA. The 27-year-old will face an Angels lineup with a below-average .211/.302/.364 stat line and an overall 24.4% K rate, making him an excellent option in DFS.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot will look to get his 2024 season back on track as he makes his second start against the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field on Sunday. Pepiot struggled in his Rays debut on April 1 as he surrendered six earned runs, four hits, and four walks across five innings against the Texas Rangers. He struck out three. The former Dodger posted a strong 2.14 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across 42 innings last season, suggesting his first start could have been an outlier. Pepiot should be a popular play in DFS today, as the Rockies have struggled this season with a 2-7 record.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena will ride pine in Sunday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies. The left fielder has struggled at the plate to open the 2024 campaign with a pedestrian .206/.270/.382 stat line with two home runs and two stolen bases. The 29-year-old is out of the starting lineup for the first time this season, as he has only tallied two hits across his previous 22 plate appearances. As a result, Richie Palacios will get the starting nod in left field today and bat fifth, making him a sneaky play in DFS as the Rays have scored 15 runs across the opening two games of the series in Colorado.
