Episode Details

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani has officially been placed on the 15-day injured list due to lingering biceps and knee issues.

Corey Pieper breaks down a seismic injury wave affecting premier fantasy superstars, top prospect promotions, the Friday Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day.

The health and transaction wire delivered major late-week news as Shohei Ohtani hits the injured list alongside Jazz Chisholm Jr., who lands on the IL with a right thumb sprain, and Braxton Ashcraft. Meanwhile, top prospect Josue De Paula earned a big league call-up to Los Angeles, Brandon Marsh is managing a bruised foot, Aaron Judge was kept out of the starting lineup as he builds back to full-game activity, and Shea Langeliers officially began a Triple-A rehab assignment.

Daily performance slates featured dominant displays in the studs column from Zack Wheeler, Cristian Javier, Jacob deGrom, Logan Gilbert, Jared Jones, Oneil Cruz, and Nick Martinez dueling Martin Perez. On the other hand, Yordan Alvarez going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and Max Fried failing to pitch deep into his start tumbled into the duds section.

Our Friday Pitching Planner segment evaluates essential weekend starting options to optimize your playoff rotation strategy, detailing Freddy Peralta riding three straight quality starts against Houston, Walbert Urena at Washington, George Kirby at Atlanta, Eury Perez facing the Dodgers, Kyle Harrison against Cincinnati, and Emmet Sheehan taking the mound at Miami.
