Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish took his fifth loss of the season on Friday night against the visiting Athletics at Camden Yards, but it was a bounce-back performance nonetheless after he allowed a season-high five earned runs in four innings his last time out on May 2 against the New York Yankees. In the 4-3 loss to the A's on Friday, Bradish gave up three earned runs on five hits while walking one and striking out a season-high 10 batters. He threw 60 of his 96 total pitches for strikes and delivered his second quality start of the season despite taking his league-leading fifth loss. The 29-year-old is now 1-5 on the year with a 4.83 ERA (4.21 FIP), a 1.66 WHIP, 45 strikeouts, and 22 walks in 41 innings pitched for the O's. Fantasy managers will be hoping that this is the start of a turnaround for Bradish, but it won't get easier, as he's set for a rematch against the first-place Yankees next week. The Yankees hold the second-best OPS in baseball at .794, behind only the Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki, who was originally scheduled to start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, will have his next start pushed back to Monday's series opener against the division-rival San Francisco Giants, according to Jack Harris of The California Post. Lefty Blake Snell (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut on Saturday against Atlanta. If not for Tyler Glasnow (back) landing on the IL on Friday, the 24-year-old Sasaki would be at risk of being bumped from the starting rotation entirely. The Japanese hurler continues to struggle with control and consistency in his second MLB season, going 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA (6.83 FIP), a 1.67 WHIP, and 26:15 K:BB in 28 2/3 innings pitched across his six starts for the Blue in 2026. He will now be on eight days of rest against SF. Despite being unreliable so far in fantasy, Sasaki did go a season-high six innings his last time out against the Cardinals, and he'll be facing a Giants team that is dead-last in OPS (.637).

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin) threw a bullpen session on Friday, but he will need to face hitters in a simulated game or go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he rejoins the Tigers' starting rotation, per MLB.com. Mize has been on the 15-day injured list since April 29 due to a mild right-groin strain, and he's not expected to come off the IL until mid-May. The 29-year-old is getting close, but he still has a few boxes left to check. He should have a rotation spot waiting for him in Detroit when he's ready after going 2-2 with a 2.90 ERA (2.87 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31 innings over his first six starts of the 2026 campaign. Mize was a first-time All-Star in 2025 in his fifth year in the majors after the Tigers took him first overall in the 2018 draft out of Auburn. The Tigers could really use Mize back sooner rather than later, with ace Tarik Skubal (elbow) out at least a month or two. Mize's lack of strikeout upside caps his fantasy value, but he can still be a useful back-end rotation arm in the right matchups. He's currently rostered in 42% of Yahoo leagues.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb (knee) is on track to make his next start on Monday versus the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers, according to MLB.com. The Giants announced that Webb dealt with some left-knee soreness during his last start on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres, when he allowed a season-high six earned runs on seven hits while walking none and striking out four in four innings for his fourth loss of the year. Webb threw only 62 pitches in that outing. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star might be on track to make his next start to kick off a new week, but fantasy managers should be considering benching him coming off a knee injury against one of the best offenses in baseball. Webb is currently sporting an ERA over 5.00 with a 3.59 FIP, 1.39 WHIP, 42 strikeouts, and 15 walks in 48 innings over his first eight starts of the 2026 campaign.
