After a very weak day for streamers yesterday, we have a much stronger list today. That’s the way it goes with full slates of baseball games every day: sometimes there’s a group of Ferraris in the garage, and sometimes you get stuck with a bunch of lemons.
The big news in the MLB world this weekend was the injury to Atlanta Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. Outside of the injury, there were some big-time performances from players, and it’s time to break those down.

In fantasy football, we always look for sleepers, values, breakouts, etc. But in the case of running backs, a position with so much week-to-week variance due to usage, split opportunities, injuries, team vs. team matchups and luck, it's sometimes better to cast a wide net.
After some big-time injuries early in the MLB season, things slowed on the injury front for a little while. However, the league was dealt arguably its biggest blow of the season when Atlanta Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. tore the ACL in his left knee on Sunday.
Memorial Day is meant to remember those who died in service fighting for our country. Unofficially, many treat it as the start of summer, as school is over (or getting close) and the weather has gotten nice enough for outdoor activities in northern states.
Let’s jump right in today and go through Saturday’s probable starters (according to MLB.com) who are widely available in fantasy leagues and have good matchups, creating streaming value. Most stats and rankings are from MLB and correct before Friday’s results. The full streamer rankings are listed at the bottom.
There have been conflicting reports on whether and how much Tua has been at offseason workouts so far this offseason. There is video evidence of him attending at least on one occasion, and it sounds like he's been there more than originally reported. However, he is still on the final year of his contract.
Despite both sides voicing their desire to get a long-term deal done since last offseason, it still hasn't happened yet. There is no doubt he deserves a lot more money than he is currently getting after improving each season he's been in the league, proving he can stay healthy for a full season, and leading the league in passing while leading the team to the playoffs in a breakout 2023 season.
Welcome to the first edition of the FantasySP National League Closer Report! This will be a weekly series that keeps you posted on the constant changes in bullpen pecking orders across the league. As this is the first edition of the series, I will start by looking back over the first two months of the season, seeing who has established themselves as the top option for each NL team. Let’s get started!
Yesterday, we looked at several MLB players who were trending in a positive direction. Today (you guessed it), we’ll look at players who are trending down.
