F. Freeman - 1B

ATL

Freddie Freeman expects to make his spring debut on Friday.

Freeman was away from Braves' camp for a few days after his wife, Chelsea, gave birth to twin boys. It shouldn't take long for the defending NL MVP Award winner to get into the swing of things. Also of note, he expects to hit third this season assuming there's no DH. Either way, Freeman is arguably worthy of a late-round first round pick in mixed league drafts this spring.

V. Guerrero Jr. - 1B

TOR

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base on Saturday in a rout of the Angels.

Guerrero Jr. walked with the bases loaded to pick up his first RBI of the contest. The next two RBI came on singles; one in the third to score Bo Bichette, and another in the fourth that also scored the shortstop. On top of the run production, Vladdy Jr. also added a steal, his first of the season. It's very early, but Guerrero Jr. has looked outstanding to begin the year, and he's slashing .379/.538/.621 as a 22-year-old. Hard not to be impressed with that start.

J. Palacios - CF

TOR

Joshua Palacios went 4-for-4 and scored four runs on Saturday in a blowout win over the Angels.

Palacios also drew a walk, so it was a five-reach game for the 25-year-old. He was just called up on Friday due to Teoscar Hernandez being placed on the COVID-19 related injured list, and he has his first four-hit game -- and first four hits -- of his MLB career. Palacios will be an up-and-down player for the Blue Jays, and isn't likely to have too many games like this going forward.

B. Bichette - SS

TOR

Bo Bichette went 2-for-4 with two doubles and five RBI on Saturday in a 14-1 rout of the Angels.

Somewhat amazingly, in a game that Toronto scored 15 runs, the Blue Jays didn't hit a homer. They did four doubles, however, and two of those two-baggers came off the bat of Bichette. He also drew a walk -- Toronto walked nine times in this contest in another game where pitchers struggled to throw strikes -- and improved his slash to .270/.308/.514. Bichette can flat-out hit, and he should be among the best fantasy shortstops in 2021 as a 23-year-old. The future is even brighter.

T. Milone - SP

TOR

Tommy Milone was able to get a three-inning save on Saturday against the Angels.

Credit to Milone before the jokes, he pitched very well in those three innings; striking out six and allowing just one hit while throwing 29-of-42 pitches for strikes. That out of the way, this save came in a game where the Blue Jays won 15-1. The only thing he truly saved was the bullpen from pitching in a game Toronto won by two touchdowns, and that's assuming the Angels would have made both extra points. The save stat isn't going anywhere, but to say that it's unreliable in determining a quality pitcher is quite the understatement.

S. Matz - SP

TOR

Steven Matz allowed just a run over six innings on Saturday to pick up a win over the Angels.

Both Matz and Quintana were southpaws making their second start with their new team. Only one pitched well, and that was Matz. The former Met allowed five hits and three walks, but was able to work around those baserunners; helped in part by four strikeouts. Matz has looked the part thus far in his time with the Blue Jays, and it's worth pointing out that he looked pretty solid in the Grapefruit League, as well. He's back on the bump on Thursday in a start vs. the Royals in Kansas City.

J. Quintana - SP

LAA

José Quintana allowed seven runs -- five earned -- on Saturday in a loss to the Blue Jays over 1 2/3 innings pitched.

This is probably not the start to Quintana's career with the Angels that he envisioned. The southpaw went just 3 1/3 and allowed four runs on Monday against the Astros, and that start was a masterpiece compared to this one. He allowed five hits, and like so many pitchers early on, he struggled to find the strike zone with four walks. It's just two outings, but right now, Quintana looks lost. His next start likely comes against the power-hitting Twins, and that's obviously not a recommended play for fantasy managers.

M. Betts - RF

Mookie Betts will not play on Sunday against the Nationals.

This according to Dave Roberts after Saturday's game. That will make four straight missed games for the 28-year-old, as he hasn't played since April 6. The hope is for Betts to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Rockies -- the Dodgers don't play on Monday -- but Roberts and Los Angeles are not going to rush him back.

M. Muncy - 1B

Max Muncy went 2-for-2 with two walks on Saturday in a win over the Nationals.

Muncy also scored two runs. The left-handed hitting infielder has been getting on at a terrific clip so far, and his .538 on-base percentage is proof of just that. He's also hitting .379 and slugging .586, and while those numbers are going to go down as the season progresses, he remains a reliable fantasy option.

C. Taylor - 2B

Chris Taylor hit a three-run homer on Saturday in a win over the Nationals.

Taylor broke the game open with a three-run homer in the second inning to make it a 5-1 game with that shot off Patrick Corbin. The versatile infielder didn't have another hit, but a three-run homer is going to make any game a good game. It's been a solid start to the season for the 30-year-old, as he's slashing .273/.484/.500 in 22 at-bats.

R. Zimmerman - 1B

WSH

Ryan Zimmerman went 3-for-4 with a run scored on Saturday in a loss to the Dodgers.

Zimmerman singled three times in the contest. Those knocks were among the 15 the Nationals were able to pick up, but Washington wasn't able to clear traffic enough in a game where the Dodgers scored nine. After sitting out most of the 2020 season, the 36-year-old has been outstanding to begin the year with a .471 average and .529 slugging percentage. Sustainable or not (probably not), it's still fun to see.

J. Soto - RF

WSH

Juan Soto homered twice and drove in three runs on Saturday in a 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Special. Juan Soto is special. The 22-year-old wunderkind swatted a solo homer in the sixth off of Julio Urias, and made it two on the day with a two-run shot off of Scott Alexander. It's already the eighth multi-homer game for Soto, who has done all of that before his 23rd birthday -- which isn't until October, by the way. He's slashing .375/.524/.750 to begin the year. That'll work.

J. Urías - SP

Julio Urias was charged with three runs over 5 2/3 innings on Saturday while picking up a win over the Nationals.

This was not Urias at his best. He gave up five hits in the first two innings, but was fortunately to escape that traffic with just a run. The southpaw also gave up a homer to Juan Soto -- one of two Soto hit in the game -- and an RBI single to Yan Gomes in the sixth before he was pulled. Even when Urias is not at his best, he's still going to get a chance to get wins if he can keep the runs to a low roar. He did just that on Saturday. The 24-year-old is back on the bump on Friday against the Padres.
