Trey Yesavage struck out nine in five innings, a Blue Jays debut record, as Toronto edged the Rays 2-1 in 11 innings to open a five-game AL East lead. George Springer produced the deciding two-out single in the 11th off Kevin Kelly. Toronto used six strong outs from Braydon Fisher to close it. Yandy Díaz led Tampa Bay with three hits, including the 11th-inning RBI that kept the Rays in the wild-card hunt, but the Rays struck out 18 times in a losing effort.

Today’s Dinger Tuesday slate features four strong home run bets: Romy Gonzalez at Fenway Park against Springs, Juan Soto at Citi Field versus Michael King, Junior Caminero against Jose Berrios in Tampa, and Jackson Chourio at Milwaukee against Caden Dana. Each pick leans on split geography, recent hot streaks, and favorable matchup mechanics to maximize upside with a conservative unit approach.

The strategy centers on a round‑robin approach to capture multiple HRs while managing risk: Gonzalez provides solid floor with everyday at-bats, Caminero brings elite home‑park power, Soto continues to mash in big spots, and Chourio offers high upside when fully healthy. These elements combine for a compact, value‑driven prop card.

Logan Gilbert anchors a volatile 11-game MLB slate, with clear upside on DraftKings and FanDuel as Seattle pushes for the AL West. Andrew Abbott offers a primo pay-down spot in a favorable lefty matchup against a struggling Cardinals offense, while Geraldo Perdomo leads a near-minimum Arizona stack with strong baseline numbers and recent power against right-handers. Yandy Díaz lures exposure in a juicy one-off spot against Jose Berrios, Sal Stewart brings salary relief with multi-sport upside, and Jackson Chourio and Julio Rodríguez provide high-ceiling outfield/SLG raw power in solid spots. Coors-field considerations and weather risk loom for Miami and Arizona stacks, but the slate still rewards patient lineups with a few clear value anchors.

Stack-heavy angles center on Arizona, Milwaukee, and Miami, each with favorable opposing arms and park effects. The value tier leans on Stewart and Heriberto Hernandez as pay-downs, while premium bets around Chourio, Rodríguez, and Gilbert anchor most optimal builds. Monitor late-injuries and rain risk in Seattle–Kansas City, and pivot if delays threaten innings. This slate rewards balance: stable core arms, selective long-shot stacks, and a few underpriced bats with hot recent forms.

Pittsburgh hosted Roberto Clemente Day as the Cubs named Kyle Tucker the Roberto Clemente Award nominee, highlighting Tucker’s Kyle Tucker Foundation and hospice-care advocacy. Tucker’s left-calf strain keeps him out with an uncertain return. Seiya Suzuki’s bronchitis is improving, Soroka was activated, Palencia progressed on his shoulder rehab, and Miguel Amaya begins a Triple-A rehab stint. Hoerner and Crow-Armstrong deliver late-season moments as Chicago eyes a playoff path.

Toronto promoted Trey Yesavage to the majors and designated Ryan Borucki for assignment. Yesavage, 22, is the Blue Jays’ top prospect, posting a 5-1 mark with a 3.12 ERA across four minor-league levels and 22 starts. He’ll draw the series opener at Tampa Bay, a significant test for a pitcher with enormous fantasy upside but limited big-league track record. Borucki appeared in four relief outings after being signed post-Pirates release, clearing the way for Yesavage’s audition.

Toronto carries a four-game AL East lead over the Yankees, adding urgency to the promotion. The move signals a sharpening of Toronto’s rotation depth as Yesavage climbs to the majors, while Borucki’s DFA creates bullpen and roster questions. For fantasy managers, Yesavage’s debut is a high-upside pivot with risk, tempered by the Jays’ immediate playoff push.
