Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (side) is considered day-to-day with left-side discomfort, which is good news, per Jeff Wilson of All City DLLS. Eovaldi was scratched from his scheduled start on Monday night versus the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks, and there's no word on when he will pitch next. However, it appears as if the Rangers avoided a big injury to one of their best starting arms. The 36-year-old veteran was sent for imaging after he first started feeling something in the morning. Eovaldi has a history with side/oblique issues, but for now, it looks like he could avoid a trip to the injured list. It's unclear right now when he might make his next start, so fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday for an update. Through his first eight starts in 2026 in his fourth year with the Rangers and 15th year in the big leagues, Eovaldi has gone 4-4 with a 4.15 ERA (4.69 FIP) and 1.17 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 10 walks in 47 2/3 innings pitched.

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that outfielder Chandler Simpson (leg) left Monday's win over the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays with a leg issue that they think "might just have been a cramp more than anything," according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Strength tests on Simpson's leg were good. He was likely going to be off on Tuesday with a left-hander on the mound for Toronto. "Then we'll go from there. But from all the reports, sounds really good," Cash said. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if the speedy Simpson can return, but as of now, it looks like he has avoided a serious injury. Simpson had a big game for his fantasy managers out of the leadoff spot on Monday before leaving, too, going 3-for-5 at the plate with three runs scored and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old is now up to 14 swipes on the season. He has yet to homer through 149 big-league games, but Simpson is an elite speed threat for fantasy managers after he stole 44 bags in 109 games in his rookie campaign in 2025.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray has been one of his team's lone bright spots early in the 2026 season, recording a 3-4 record with a 2.76 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts across his first 45 2/3 innings (eight starts). With a 26.1% strikeout rate, the 34-year-old remains a reliable source of whiffs for fantasy managers. However, Ray could be a logical sell-high candidate. Ray's has both poor command (10% walk rate) and a tendency to allow the long ball (1.58 HR/9), which points to likely ERA regression. He also got off to a similarly strong start in 2025 before losing steam down the stretch, pitching to a 2.65 ERA in the first half of the season and a 5.54 ERA after the All-Star break. If there's a monster offer out there for Ray, fantasy managers should at least consider moving the 34-year-old while his value is at a relative high point.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic is off to a strong start to the 2026 season, as he's posted a 3-1 record with a 3.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts across 46 1/3 innings (eight starts). Bubic has pitched particularly well of late, allowing just five earned runs while striking out 18 in 17 2/3 innings over his last three outings. However, Bubic's profile contains some red flags. For one, his 12.3% walk rate is unsustainably poor and points to likely WHIP regression. Additionally, Bubic missed the final two months of the 2025 season with a rotator cuff strain in his left shoulder. While he's managed to stay on the mound so far in 2026, his average fastball velocity is down to 92.1 miles per hour, and he's reached 100 innings in a season just once since 2022. Fantasy managers may be wise to consider selling high on Bubic in the midst of his current hot streak.
