All indications are that Ohtani is healthy, with Roberts noting there are several factors at play, including that he won’t be pitching on his usual six days of rest. He also pointed out that the Dodgers close out the series with an early-afternoon game on Wednesday, meaning the added workload on the mound would likely take him out of the lineup for the finale. The 31-year-old two-way superstar was limited to pitching exclusively earlier this month against the Mets over minor concerns about his throwing shoulder. Fantasy managers should anticipate Los Angeles continuing to approach his workload with caution, especially this early in the season.

Cruz is being treated by the Pirates medical staff, according to a team statement. The 27-year-old fantasy standout is presumably day-to-day. He’s gotten off to an excellent start, most notably making gains against left-handed pitching, hitting .259/.320/.518 with 19 runs scored, eight homers, 24 RBI and 10 steals in 27 games. Jake Mangum is patrolling center field in his absence with Spencer Horwitz taking over the leadoff spot.

Smith is back handling the catching duties and hitting third on Monday night at Dodger Stadium following a two-game absence due to back tightness. The 31-year-old backstop is off to a nice start at the dish this season, slashing .266/.337/.392 with three homers and 14 RBI across 24 games. Dalton Rushing retreats to the bench after starting three of the last four contests behind the plate.

Stanton remains on the bench for the third consecutive contest with Jasson Domínguez, who is at DH and hitting sixth on Monday night, coming up from Triple-A to face a couple right-handed starters this week. There’s been zero indication the Yankees are going to place Stanton on the injured list, but it feels almost inevitable if he’s not going to be ready to go in a couple days. The 36-year-old will continue receiving treatment and resting as he continues to recover from a right calf issue that cropped up last week.

Naylor is back at first base and hitting cleanup following a brief one-game absence due to a quad contusion. The 28-year-old power/speed combo threat has seemingly turned things around after an ice-cold start to the season, hitting .480 (12-for-25) with one homer and four steals over his last seven games.

Domínguez was officially called up on Monday afternoon, but Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has not yet been placed on the injured list. That clouds the immediate playing time for Domínguez, but the Yankees do face three righties in their series with the Rangers, which should give him enough short-term playing time. However, Anthony Volpe is reportedly set to rejoin the team on Thursday, and Jose Caballero has been heating up at the plate, so the Yankees may need to decide between Domínguez and Ryan McMahon when Volpe returns. That also assumes Stanton eventually goes on the injured list. There are a lot of moving pieces here.

The Mets not only lost both games of Sunday’s doubleheader, but they were swept in the series. Against the Rockies. Yes, those Rockies. Senga now has an ERA of 9.00, and gave up a two-run homer to Hunter Goodman and an RBI single to Troy Johnston to “help” that number go up. Again. He also walked three, struck out just one, and threw 30-of-50 pitches for strikes before being pulled. This isn’t good. The Mets aren’t good. He’s scheduled to face the Angels on Friday.

After going six games without an extra-base hit — a severe drought for someone like Ohtani — the perennial MVP candidate bashed his sixth homer of the season as well as a double. He also drew a walk while improving his slash to .262/.391/.485 with 12 RBI and three steals. Most hitters would sign up for that slash. Most players aren’t Ohtani.

Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe all struck out two in their innings of work, so it was an 18-strikeout, two-hitter for the Brewers. Harrison, who missed a turn 10 days ago and then got just nine outs Tuesday against the Pirates, induced 23 whiffs and allowed just two hard-hit balls in the best outing of his young career. He’s definitely worth rostering in mixed leagues and worth having active for his start against the Nationals next weekend.

Old man Judge’s bat speed is down a bit and his strikeout rate is up some in the early going, and there’s good reason to think he won’t wind up hitting .320-.330 like he did last two years. That said, we’d still take him first overall in a rest-of-season draft. He’s at .230/.369/.560 right now, and he’s also collected five steals. Today’s homer was the 378th of his career, moving him past Norm Cash and Jeff Kent and into a tie with Matt Williams for 77th on the all-time list.
