Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. put his wheels on display in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Mets. Acuna Jr. went 2-for-3 with two singles, a walk, and three stolen bases. The reigning National League Most Valuable Player hasn't been as impactful as fantasy managers were hoping for early on, slashing .256/.383/.308 with no home runs, 12 runs scored, four RBI, and four stolen bases in 47 plate appearances. However, the season is very early and it is encouraging to see him staying aggressive on the base paths.


Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow turned in an amazing start in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Twins. Glasnow pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks with 14 strikeouts. The 30-year-old has been outstanding through his first four starts with his new team, going 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA, 29 strikeouts, and seven walks in 24 IP. Glasnow has been a high-end fantasy performer when healthy and is benefitting fantasy managers by now having the Dodgers' offense to back him. His next matchup will likely be a favorable one against the Nationals.


New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes picked up his fifth save of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Marlins. Holmes came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one and delivered a 1-2-3 outing with a strikeout. The 31-year-old has converted all but one of his save opportunities and has yet to allow an earned run or a walk in six innings pitched. He uncharacteristically only has three strikeouts in that time, but fantasy managers will take the overall results from the closer on one of baseball's hottest teams.


New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon picked up his first win of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 game against the Marlins. Rodon took advantage of a favorable matchup, allowing two runs (none earned) on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings pitched. There is a lot of pressure on the 31-year-old to have a bounce-back season after a dreadful 2023, and he has mostly done that through his first three starts. Rodon has compiled a 1.72 ERA with 13 strikeouts and seven walks in 15 2/3 IP. The strikeout-to-walk ratio is not what fantasy managers were hoping for, but they can't argue with his ERA. Rodon will look to start a winning streak in his next projected start at a struggling Blue Jays lineup.


Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich continued his stellar offensive start in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Reds. Yelich went 2-for-4 with a single, a double, three RBI, and a walk. The 32-year-old has done it all at the plate so far this season, slashing .324/.410/.706 with four home runs, six runs scored, nine RBI, and two stolen bases in 40 plate appearances. Yelich had a nice 2023 season after several disappointing ones, so seeing him pick up where he left off is encouraging.
