Big night for one clear power source: Junior Caminero was the headliner, crushing his sixth homer (1-for-4, 2 RBI) while extending an eight-game hit streak and posting an elite 110.0 mph max exit velocity and an 82.0 mph average bat speed. Behind him Jo Adell supplied a run-producing sac fly and mixed-but-notable bat-speed readings, and Colt Keith delivered a two-hit day with strong exit velocities while still carrying a possible platoon caveat. The pitching side had a rough moment — Ryan Thompson allowed a homer in a 1.0-inning stint (2 ER) and showed two hard-hit balls, with availability for the next game looking touch-and-go. Caminero and Adell are in the projected lineups and Keith is confirmed to start, so the fantasy leverage from tonight should carry into tomorrow if you need short-term production.
Junior Caminero gets the nod after going 1-for-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 R. Over his last 10 games, he is batting .310 with 4 HR, 9 RBI, and 9 R. That was his 6th home run of the season. Season line now sits at 6 HR, 12 RBI, 15 R, and 0 SB. Rate stats now sit at .260 AVG, .345 OBP, .479 SLG, and .824 OPS. The biggest situational chances did not turn into production. His hardest contact reached 110.0 mph.
Ryan Thompson had the roughest roster line after posting 1.0 IP, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K. He allowed 1 homer. The pitching line looks fragile beneath the surface. He also allowed 2 hard-hit balls. Season pitching line now sits at 1 W, 0 L, 0 SV, 4 HLD, 6 K, 5 BB, and 9.2 IP. Rate stats now sit at 4.66 ERA and 1.14 WHIP.
Jo Adell 1-for-4, 1 RBI, 1 R; he drove in the go-ahead run with a third-inning sacrifice fly. Statcast was mixed: his tracked bat speed averaged 74.9 mph (a notable mark for the day) while average exit velocity was only 80.3 mph (88.9 mph max), and the contact quality looked modest with the injuryrisk proxy elevated. He is in the projected lineup. He opened against lefty Eric Lauer and did most of his damage after the starter exited. That was his 15th RBI of the season. The fantasy read here is more about the on-field trend: the lineup spot was strong at No. Next up is on the road against the Kansas City Royals, with Noah Cameron lined up as the projected starter.
Colt Keith 2-for-3, 1 RBI. He ripped an insurance RISP single in the fifth that plated his sixth RBI of the season and tied his season high with a two-hit game. Keith entered as a pinch-hitter in the fourth, stayed in as the designated hitter, and his best result came against starter Chad Patrick a streamer-level right-hander so the pitching environment was favorable. Statcast shows solid exit velocity (95.5 mph average, 106.6 mph max) and a slight uptick in tracked bat speed (71.5 mph), but the hardhit rate has backed up versus his recent baseline. He is in the confirmed lineup. Next up is at home against the Milwaukee Brewers, with Brandon Sproat lined up as the projected starter.
Heliot Ramos 2-for-3, 1 R, and he extended his hitting streak to five games with a late, line-drive single in the seventh. Batted-ball readings were mixed: a 90.8 mph average exit velocity and two hard-hit balls, while tracked bat speed jumped to a 71.1 mph average with a 77.2 mph top swing, up 1.5 mph from his prior season baseline. That was his 9th run scored of the season. Next up is at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Tyler Glasnow lined up as the projected starter.
Chase DeLauter was 2-for-4, delivering two singles including a late, eighth-inning line-drive single and registering no walks or strikeouts. His tracked bat speed averaged 71.2 mph with a top swing of 75.0 mph, +1.5 mph versus last season a concrete sign his swing is generating more quality. The flip side: recent production has cooled over the last 14 days (49 PA, .668 OPS) and his plate-appearance volume has been trending down even though he has mostly occupied the No. 2 spot. He opened against Peter Lambert, the opposing right-hander. The fantasy read here is more about the on-field trend: the last two weeks have cooled off, the lineup spot was strong at No. 2, it came in a favorable matchup against a lightly rostered right-handed starter, though the last two weeks have been softer than the surface role suggests. Next up is on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays, with Max Scherzer lined up as the projected starter.
Freddie Freeman 2-for-4, with two singles including a first-inning RISP hit, a box score that matched generally modest contact quality. Over his last 9 games, he is batting .375 with 1 RBI and 3 R. He is in the confirmed lineup. He opened against Tyler Mahle, the opposing right-hander. The fantasy read here is more about the on-field trend: the last 14 days have stayed productive with a 0.914 OPS, the lineup spot was strong at No. Next up is on the road against the San Francisco Giants, with Logan Webb lined up as the projected starter.
Moises Ballesteros 1-for-4, 1 2B, 1 R doubled in the eighth and finished with modest contact, posting a 90.3 mph average exit velocity, a 101.3 mph max and one hard-hit ball, with most of the damage coming after Taijuan Walker exited. He hit seventh today after averaging a 5.8 slot over the prior week; playing time has been drifting down and he carries clear lefty-platoon risk. Over his last 10 games, he is batting .600 with 2 HR, 6 RBI, and 5 R. Ranks 5th in MLB with .367 AVG. Next up is at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, with Cristopher Snchez lined up as the projected starter.
Max Muncy 1-for-3, 1 BB. He ripped a RISP single on a sharp line drive and reached base twice, but the box score masks a softer contact profile today. Tracked bat speed averaged 60.3 mph (top swing 71.9 mph), down about 9.6 mph from his prior-season baseline, and Statcast showed a 91.3 mph average EV with one hard-hit ball. Ranks 5th in MLB with 8 HR. He is in the confirmed lineup. Next up is on the road against the San Francisco Giants, with Logan Webb lined up as the projected starter.
Zach Neto was 1-for-4, 1 BB, 1 2B, 1 K, and his biggest play was a first-inning double off starter Eric Lauer. The double came on generally solid contact a 91.1 mph average exit velocity with a 101.4 mph max and one barrel on the day. He is in the projected lineup. Next up is on the road against the Kansas City Royals, with Noah Cameron lined up as the projected starter.
Justin Crawford 1-for-4, 1 RBI, 1 K. He drove in the go-ahead run with a secondinning groundout against Matthew Boyd and later added a seventhinning single, so the production showed up in meaningful game spots. Statcast was less flattering: average exit velocity was just 76.1 mph (93.0 mph max) and contact quality looked modest, a sizable drop from his recent baseline that fuels an elevated injuryrisk proxy. That was his 3rd RBI of the season; his line now sits at 0 HR, 3 RBI, 7 R and 1 SB (.281/.370/.391). Next up is on the road against the Chicago Cubs, with Edward Cabrera lined up as the projected starter.
Adley Rutschman did not play on 2026-04-22; according to thebanner.com the non-start appeared to be a healthrelated lineup absence. There was no boxscore action today, so his season line remains at 1 HR, 5 RBI, 4 R and a robust .316/.395/.553 (.948 OPS) through 11 games. His last 21 days have been strong (26 PA: .333/.385/.583, .968 OPS) and playing time is trending up, although the clubs usage still shows rightyplatoon risk. The Boston matchup projects well for a switchhitter, but temper expectations into the lineup role.
Carson Kelly did not play on 2026-04-22, a benching that looks like a matchup or platoon sit against a left-handed starter. He has been hitting well recently over his last 10 games he is batting .367 with 2 home runs, 7 RBI and 6 runs, and his last 14 days show a 1.100 OPS with a 15.2% strikeout rate. Season-to-date his line sits at 2 HR, 10 RBI with a .310/.420/.466 (.886 OPS) profile. He still looks like a hold in most roster formats given the hot recent stretch. He is in the confirmed lineup. Next up is at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, with Cristopher Snchez lined up as the projected starter.
Jordan Walker did not play on 2026-04-22. He remains in a steady everyday role he started seven of the Cardinals' last seven games and his recent production has been strong, with a 0.880 OPS over the last 14 days and a 0.984 OPS over the last 21. Walker sits at eight homers on the year (fifth in MLB), and. Playing time has been stable, and the power spike keeps his fantasy profile intact despite the elevated strikeout rate. Ranks 5th in MLB with 8 HR. Next up is at home against the Seattle Mariners, with George Kirby lined up as the projected starter.
Nasim Nunez did not play on 2026-04-22. He has started six of Washington's last seven games and his playing time has been rising he logged 26 plate appearances across that stretch but he sat this date. Recent production has cooled: over the last 21 days he has a 0.452 OPS in 65 plate appearances with no homers, though his strikeout rate has actually dropped to 15.4% from a 20.2% season mark. He remains a stolen-base weapon, ranking second in MLB with 10 steals and owning a season line of 0 HR, 6 RBI, 12 R and 10 SB. Next up is at home against the Atlanta Braves, with JR Ritchie lined up as the projected starter.
Bryson Stott 0-for-2, 1 K. He came in as a sixth-inning pinch hitter and stayed at second, but contact looked light: a 82.3 mph average exit velocity with tracked bat speed at 67.4 mph (70.9 top), a 1.1-mph drop from his prior-season average. Recent production has cooled (14-day OPS 0.609; 21-day OPS 0.509) and his season line sits at 0 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R and 5 SB (.203/.261/.234). The role data suggests it may have been a possible matchup or platoon sit against a left-handed starter. He is in the confirmed lineup. Next up is on the road against the Chicago Cubs, with Edward Cabrera lined up as the projected starter.
Cole Young was 0-for-4; the box score looked quiet, but the contact quality was better than the line suggests a 99.0 mph average exit velocity, a 105.0 mph max and three hard-hit balls. He has a stable role (started seven of the last seven games), yet recent production has been light (OPS .533 over 54 PA in the last 14 days and .577 over 78 PA in the last 21 days) even as his short-term K rate has dipped below his season mark. Louis against right-hander Andre Pallante, a matchup that preserves a lefty-on-righty platoon edge. Fantasy takeaway: he is moving toward cut-candidate territory contact quality supports optimism, but the last 21 days of production have been very light and missed chances showed up in meaningful game spots. He is in the projected lineup. Louis Cardinals, with Andre Pallante lined up as the projected starter.
Brent Rooker and the Athletics had the day off on 2026-04-22. He remains on the 10day injured list with an oblique issue that began April 9 and is not projected to start while on the IL. Per CBS Sports and theScore he has been doing light baseball work and the team describes him as beginning a hitting progression, but there is no update that he will be activated imminently. His recent 21day window includes two homers, eight RBI and a 0.791 OPS over 25 plate appearances, and he is rostered in 96 percent of leagues, so he reads like a power asset with limited availability for the moment.

Sean Murphy and the Gwinnett Stripers had the day off on 2026-04-22. Murphy is on a rehab assignment with Gwinnett, according to the Morgan County Citizen, but he did not record any plate appearances in Tuesdays action. There were no Statcast marks or bat-speed readings available and our short-term windows show no recent game activity to evaluate. He is rostered in just 1.0% of leagues, so this looks like a hold that needs close monitoring there was no game performance to act on.
