Overview
- Cam Schlittler climbs after holding last year’s velocity gains and leaning on a heavy cutter, four-seamer and sinker mix that all sit in the mid-to-upper 90s.
- Kodai Senga moves up after his opener featured a 97.5 mph average fastball that produced six of his nine strikeouts alongside his forkball.
- Taj Bradley earns a bump as improved stuff and steadier command show up in two starts, with TwinsDaily’s assessment noting above-average grades across his arsenal.
- Lucas Erceg rises with early ninth-inning chances for the Royals after Carlos Estevez struggled, offering closer upside if his strikeout rate rebounds.
- Noelvi Marte slides as the Reds start him only three times in six games, leaving him behind Will Benson in playing time and limiting short-term fantasy value.
