    Matt Sauer will be on the Dodgers’ travel roster for the season-opening Tokyo Series.
    It’s unclear whether Sauer will be on Los Angeles’ active roster for the two-game Tokyo Series, but he’s going to travel with the club to Japan, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The 26-year-old righty doesn’t offer any fantasy appeal, but he’s an interesting story after being a Rule 5 selection a couple years ago.

    Jackson Merrill was removed from Saturday’s game against the Diamondbacks with a possible concussion.
    Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters afterwards that Merrill was “woozy” after being tagged in the head while attempting to steal second base during the seventh inning of Saturday’s back-and-forth affair in Arizona. Shildt added that they haven’t made a decision whether he’s in concussion protocol yet. There should be a definitive update on the 22-year-old burgeoning star’s status ahead of Sunday’s series finale.
    Casparius may get good ratios as Dodgers starter
    Eric Samulski analyzes the Dodgers moving Ben Casparius into the starting rotations and what he will bring to fantasy managers in his new role.
  • LAD Designated Hitter #17
    Shohei Ohtani hit two homers and walked twice in the Dodgers’ 11-5 smackdown of the Giants on Saturday.
    It was 11-0 until; the ninth, when the Dodgers tried to save a little wear on their pitchers by putting in Enrique Hernández for the final inning. Hernández, though, gave up a grand slam and five runs while getting two outs, and Anthony Banda ended up finishing the game. Ohtani has 25 homers this year, leaving him one behind Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh for the MLB lead. He’s up to 250 career homers in 929 games since debuting in 2018.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #22
    Clayton Kershaw tossed seven scoreless innings in defeating the Giants on Saturday.
    Kershaw allowed three hits, walked one and struck out five in his best outing since 2023. He’s 2-0 with a 3.25 ERA in his six starts this year, and he’s set to face the Nationals next time out.
  • SF Relief Pitcher #65
    Landen Roupp recorded just five outs and gave up six runs Saturday against the Dodgers.
    Roupp hadn’t walked more than two in any of his previous seven starts, but, including an intentional walk to Shohei Ohtani, he handed out five free passes to the 13 batters he faced tonight. In all, just 21 of the 45 pitches he threw went for strikes. With any luck, it’ll prove to be a blip on the radar for Roupp, who entered the game with a 3.29 ERA. He’ll make his next start at home against the Red Sox.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #10
    Casey Schmitt hit a grand slam for a second straight day Saturday against the Dodgers.
    Schmitt’s slam Friday was hit against one of the NL’s best pitchers in Yoshinobu Yamamoto. His slam tonight was hit against Enrique Hernández, one of the NL’s top 10 or 15 utilitymen. It all counts the same, so Schmitt, who is filling in for Matt Chapman at third base, has three homers and 11 RBI in his last five games. He’s had no homers and three RBI in his first 20 games.
  • SEA Shortstop #3
    J.P. Crawford went 3-for-3 with two walks and a steal as the Mariners came back to beat the Guardians 4-3 on Saturday.
    Jorge Polanco had the walkoff hit in the ninth. Crawford didn’t factor in then, and his five times on base tonight led to just one run scored and no RBI. He did steal his fourth base of the year, but he was also caught for the first time after being picked off first. Crawford has been a great surprise in hitting .295/.410/.401 in 285 plate appearances, but since he doesn’t excel in any category, his fantasy value remains limited.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #68
    George Kirby tossed five innings of two-run ball Saturday versus the Guardians.
    The runs scored on a double from Nolan Jones in the fourth and a solo homer from José Ramírez in the fifth. Kirby walked three tonight for the first time since 2022 and just the third time in 94 big-league starts. Still, that’s not a disaster; he might actually benefit from throwing fewer pitches within the strike zone. He’s set to face the Cubs in his next start Friday.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #28
    Tanner Bibee pitched five innings of two-run ball Saturday against the Mariners.
    Bibee allowed just two hard-hit balls tonight, but the Mariners managed to scrape together two runs in the first and that was enough to leave Bibee with a no-decision. He’ll bring a 3.79 ERA into his next start against the A’s.
  • CLE Relief Pitcher #48
    Emmanuel Clase took a blown save and a loss after giving up two runs in the ninth Saturday against the Mariners.
    After entering with a one-run lead, Clase gave up a single and a walk to start the ninth. There was a successful sac bunt afterwards, which was followed by an intentional walk, a strikeout and another intentional walks. Jorge Polanco then won the game with a two-run single through the infield. It’s Clase’s third blown save, but it shouldn’t be taken as a sign that anything is wrong with the right-hander.
  • ARI 3rd Baseman #28
    Eugenio Suárez hit a three-run homer in a win over the Padres on Saturday.
    Suárez mashed his 20th homer of the season in the fourth inning to give the Diamondbacks a 3-1 lead. The 33-year-old also drew a walk to improve his slash to .231/.307/.518 along with 55 RBI over 70 games.
