The boys are back for another scooter week of Leading Off! Join Joey P and The Welsh as they break down all the big news from the weekend in fantasy baseball.
Big pitching returns and prospect debuts shake up today's fantasy slate. Carlos Rodón (NYY, SP) and Blake Snell are back from injury with mixed results, Cristopher Sánchez (PHI, SP) tossed 7 shutout innings to boost his Cy Young case, and Ryan Waldschmidt (AZ, CF) made his MLB debut with a 2-run double against the Mets.
On the other side, Cal Raleigh (SEA, C) is stuck in an 0-for-29 slump and ranking just 19th among catchers, Bo Bichette (NYM, 3B) went hitless for his 4th straight game, and Nolan Gorman (STL, 3B) keeps struggling at .218. Brice Turang (MIL, 2B) walked off the Yankees on Mother's Day, José Soriano (LAA, SP) was dominant again, and Seth Hernández (PIT, SP) got promoted to High-A.
