How's the shortened season treating you? For our OMGG player of the night, Scott is concerned about Ross Stripling (1:55). The numbers aren't where they usually are for him and Dustin May has pitched well. For Frank, Charlie Blackmon is on a different level right now. Should you consider selling high?... Uh oh, Ronald Acuña is having his wrist checked out (6:40). In other news, Ramon Laureano was given a six-game suspension, Joe Musgrove has landed on the IL and should you add Drew Pomeranz because of Kirby Yates' weird season? ... We have lineup notes, including Garrett Hampson leading off against a right-handed pitcher (12:45)! Seager, Springer, and Devers reamined out while Mike Ford was the DH for the Yankees Tuesday night. ... Here's the magic question: how should you handle hitters who are off to slow starts in this shortened season (17:17)? Should you change your usual process? ... For Worryometer Wednesday, is there any real reason to be concerned about Cody Bellinger (24:49)? How about Gleyber Torres or Josh Bell? And Vlad Jr. in dynasty? ... Are these players good or just hot right now (40:45)? We take a closer look at Dylan Moore, Austin Slater, Hanser Alberto, Corey Seager, and Jesse Winker. ... We finish up with Tuesday standouts (51:41), including Gallen and Freeland, Nick Solak, Orioles hitters, and some bullpen notes. ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
