Didier Fuentes is set to make his Major League Baseball debut as the youngest active player and the youngest starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves since 1969. The 20-year-old Colombian was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett just three days after his birthday and will face the Miami Marlins in the first game of a three-game series.

Fuentes, ranked as the Braves' No. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline, has shown impressive performance in the minors, averaging about 11 strikeouts per nine innings. Braves manager Brian Snitker noted that while nerves are expected for such a young debut, the unknown factor could work in Fuentes' favor against the Marlins, who have little experience with him.

The upcoming week in MLB fantasy baseball is shaping up to be pivotal, especially for two-start pitchers. With the Dodgers likely set to announce a two-start pitcher amidst uncertainty due to injuries, owners should keep a close watch on Emmet Sheehan, who was recently optioned to Triple-A but could return. Meanwhile, Tarik Skubal of the Tigers stands out with an impressive 2.06 ERA and will face the Athletics and Twins at Comerica Park, making him an automatic start for any fantasy manager.

Framber Valdez and Kris Bubic are also noteworthy, with decent matchups despite the challenges they may face against top-tier lineups. The Mariners' Bryan Woo and Luis Castillo are solid picks, especially with their health and form looking good. In the National League, Eduardo Rodriguez of the Diamondbacks and Spencer Schwellenbach of the Braves are notable mentions, with favorable matchups that make them excellent options for fantasy lineups this week.

Ronald Acuña Jr. showcased his explosive return from injury with a stellar start to the season, hitting eight home runs in just 24 games—a career-best rate. His recent performance positions him as a prime candidate for MLB home run betting, especially with +340 odds on FanDuel. Acuña has excelled against right-handed pitchers, boasting a .433 batting average and a 1.285 OPS in that matchup. His history against pitchers like Janson Junk, who has a career 1.4 HR/9 rate, suggests a strong likelihood of another home run.

Alongside Acuña, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and José Ramírez are also highlighted as promising home run picks for upcoming games. Chisholm has thrived at home with a staggering .307 average, while Ramírez has a solid track record against left-handed pitchers.
