OUTCJ Kayfus
1B/RF CLE
Sun 4/5/26 7:05 PM

Kayfus started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a double in a 1-0 loss to the Cubs in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. He came off the bench in the nightcap and went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and additional run scored.
EDGE Analysis
Kayfus recorded his first hit of the season and the Guardians' lone knock of the opening game. In the nightcap, he singled as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, defended right field and later tied the game to lead off the eighth inning with a home run. Sunday's production could lead to more opportunities for Kayfus, who entered Sunday having been held out of the starting lineup in the previous four games.

Maikel Garcia
2B/SS/3B KC
Sun 4/5/26 6:35 PM

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-4 in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheder versus Milwaukee, Garcia got on track with three hits in the nightcap before delivering another multi-hit game Sunday. He launched his first home run of the season during the third inning to put Kansas City on the board. In addition to Sunday's long ball, Garcia has been productive as the Royals' leadoff man so far this season with two doubles, a .333/.425/.485 slash line and 6:5 BB:K in 40 plate appearances.

Trevor Megill
RP MIL
Sun 4/5/26 6:31 PM

Megill picked up the save in Sunday's 8-5 victory over the Royals. He allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was handed a three-run cushion and worked around a two-out single by Bobby Witt to lock down his third save in as many tries this season. Megill gave up a run and took a loss against Tampa Bay on March 30, but he's otherwise been unscored upon in his other three appearances. Overall he has a 2.25 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB through four frames in 2026.

Kyle Harrison
SP MIL
Sun 4/5/26 6:27 PM

Harrison (1-0) earned the win Sunday versus the Royals, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Maikel Garcia's two-run homer during the third inning was all the damage Kansas City could muster against Harrison, who threw 55 of 90 pitches for strikes while generating 25 called-or-swinging strikes. The left-hander has yet to make it through six frames in his first two outings of the season, but it's otherwise been a strong start to the campaign with three runs allowed and a 14:3 K:BB in 10.1 innings.

Grant Taylor
RP CWS
Sun 4/5/26 6:23 PM

Taylor will open Monday's game against the Orioles, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Taylor's third game as an opener out of five total appearances this season. Thus far, he has been perfect with two strikeouts in two innings as an opener after giving up one run while issuing two walks in two innings as a traditional reliever. Taylor will potentially be stretched out as a starter in 2027, and he has much more history working as a starter, so he may be most comfortable in this opener role. The White Sox may continue to use Taylor in this role as long as things are going well, which limits his fantasy utility in roto leagues as he can't qualify for wins or saves in the opening role.

Kris Bubic
SP KC
Sun 4/5/26 6:23 PM

Bubic (1-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander induced 18 whiffs on 96 pitches (58 strikes) on the way to eight strikeouts, but all four of the hits he gave up went for extra bases. Bubic also issued three walks for a second straight start to begin the season. The 29-year-old has a 4.09 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB across 11 innings and lines up to face the White Sox at home next weekend.

Manny Machado
3B/DH SD
Sun 4/5/26 6:19 PM

Machado went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Machado gave San Diego its first lead of the day in the fifth inning with his two-out blast off Greg Weissert that put the Padres ahead 6-4. It's the first homer and RBI of the season for Machado, who'd gone just 2-for-17 in six games prior to Sunday. The third baseman is now slashing .222/.417/.407 through nine games this year.

15DKirby Yates
RP LAA
Sun 4/5/26 6:17 PM

Yates (knee) is scheduled to face hitters Tuesday as he works through mechanical adjustments ahead of his return, Doug Padilla of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
"I think it's more of a feeling for me, knowing how the ball is supposed to come out of my hand," Yates said. "I don't think we're a crazy way away (from a return), or anything like that. It's just how quickly you can get to where you're comfortable going back out there and getting big outs for your team." It sounds like Yates and the Angels will have a better idea how close he is after Tuesday's session. In Yates' absence, Jordan Romano has excelled as the closer while Chase Silseth has been strong in a setup role for the Angels.

Ranger Suarez
SP BOS
Sun 4/5/26 6:14 PM

Suarez (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Padres, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Suarez started the day well, holding San Diego scoreless through his first three innings. However, things began to unravel in the fourth, where the left-hander was tagged for three runs. Suarez would then give up a lead-off single in the fifth, eventually resulting in a fourth run, before departing. Suarez's Red Sox tenure has gotten off to a rocky start -- he's now given up eight runs on 13 hits across 8.1 innings in his first two starts. Suarez will look to turn things around in his next start, currently slated for next weekend in St. Louis.

Walker Buehler
SP SD
Sun 4/5/26 6:08 PM

Buehler (0-1) didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks across 2.2 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler held his former team scoreless through his first two innings before unraveling in the third, where he'd ultimately allow four runs after leading off the frame with back-to-back walks. It's been a tough start to the year for Buehler, who's allowed seven runs across 6.2 innings in his first two starts. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Rockies.
