Dominating yesterday's MLB DFS slate, Jamie's picks were highlighted by Nathan Eovaldi's impressive return from injury, despite Jacob deGrom's underwhelming outing. Today's lineup features a wealth of potential studs as well as budget-friendly options across all positions. With 13 games on the docket, players need to navigate potential weather disruptions and stay updated on trade rumors that could impact player performance.

Among pitchers, Eovaldi stands out with a favorable matchup against the Angels, who rank high in strikeouts against right-handers. Seth Lugo also presents a solid option against the Pirates, noted for their struggling batting order. On the offensive side, Bobby Witt Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are poised to capitalize on advantageous matchups, while Ronald Acuña Jr. showcases his tremendous form against the Athletics.

The New York Mets are making moves to shake up their struggling roster amidst a dismal stretch of losing nine of their last ten games. Rookie infielder Luisangel Acuña, bringing family ties to the spotlight as Ronald Acuña Jr.'s brother, has been sent to the minors after a promising start but a recent slump. The Mets also signed left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady and promoted outfielder Travis Jankowski from Triple-A, who aims to provide some stability in a faltering lineup.

Despite Acuña's early success, with a .308 batting average and six steals, he has fallen to .241, limiting him to pinch-running roles. Meanwhile, the Mets are anxious for ace pitcher Kodai Senga to return from a hamstring injury, as he has been a bright spot with a 1.47 ERA this season. The team is also set to welcome back right-hander Frankie Montas, whose return from the injured list is highly anticipated. With the Mets looking to regroup, the upcoming series against Atlanta presents a crucial opportunity for the team to regain some momentum.

The New York Yankees find themselves facing a familiar crisis as injuries take a toll on their pitching staff. Recently, Ryan Yarbrough was placed on the injured list due to a strained oblique, following Yerry De Los Santos, who is dealing with elbow discomfort. Both players' absences underscore the depth issues the Yankees are experiencing, especially with Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil, and Marcus Stroman already on the shelf. Yarbrough, initially signed as a multi-inning reliever, had to step into a starting role, showcasing the team's desperate need for pitching reinforcements.

With the trade deadline looming in about six weeks, the Yankees may be forced to make moves for relief help. Potential targets identified include Ryan Helsley, Emmanuel Clase, and David Bednar, among others. However, many of these pitchers are on teams that may be reluctant to sell. As the Yankees patch together their roster, the urgency for stability grows, especially with October aspirations at stake.

Nathan Eovaldi's live bullpen session at PNC Park demonstrates his readiness to return from elbow inflammation. Eovaldi threw over 50 pitches, showcasing his full pitching arsenal without any discomfort afterward. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy confirmed that Eovaldi has completed all necessary rehab steps, and barring any setbacks, he could skip a minor league stint and start as soon as Friday against the Seattle Mariners. Meanwhile, the Rangers are managing a strained rotation, with Patrick Corbin slated to start against the Baltimore Orioles and Jacob deGrom expected to pitch Wednesday. Eovaldi’s return would further solidify an already strong Rangers pitching staff.

Jake Burger has been placed on the 10-day injured list by the Texas Rangers due to a left oblique strain sustained during a recent swing. This marks the third consecutive season where Burger has faced a side injury, prompting concerns about his long-term durability. Despite this setback, he remains optimistic about a quick recovery, aiming to return on the 11th day.

With Burger sidelined, Ezequiel Duran will step in as the primary first baseman, while Justin Foscue has been recalled from Triple-A to join the roster. Nathan Eovaldi and Jon Gray are also making strides in their recovery from injuries; Eovaldi is expected to rejoin the rotation soon, boasting a stellar ERA of 1.56 this season. Furthermore, Wyatt Lankford continues to deal with back spasms but is anticipated to return shortly.
