Q&A

• Which pitchers are expected to be activated from the IL soon and what is their fantasy impact?

  Frankie Montas, Max Scherzer, and Kyle Freeland are expected back soon. Montas and Scherzer should be rostered in most leagues due to their past performance, while Freeland's impact depends on his health and performance upon return.

• Who are some of the top hitter performances from Sunday and why are they relevant for fantasy?

  Casey Schmidt (Giants), Donovan Solano (Mariners), and Mauricio Dubon (Astros) had excellent games. Their relevance varies; Schmidt's increased playing time boosts his value, while Solano and Dubon's performances might be unsustainable.

• What are some key pitching matchups to watch for on Monday, and which pitchers are good streaming options?

  Brian Woo vs. Bailey Ober is a key matchup. Eduardo Rodriguez against the White Sox is a potential streamer, though risky. Chad Patrick against the Pirates is another option, but with a lower ceiling.

• Which relievers are worth monitoring for save opportunities on Monday?

  Grant Taylor (White Sox) and Emilio Pagan (Reds) pitched recently, so their respective backups, Brandon Eissert/Stephen Wilson and Tony Santillon, could be in line for save chances.
