Vladimir Guerrero exited with hamstring tightness, sparking major fantasy concern. Joe Bond breaks down the latest injury fallout and dives into key Trade Targets to make before the deadline. Plus, get today's FanDuel Bet of the Day: TOR @ WSH O9.5 (-104). In news and injuries, Vladimir Guerrero left early with hamstring tightness, Byron Buxton was pulled with hip soreness, and Casey Schmitt suffered a torn meniscus. Meanwhile, Curtis Mead landed on the IL, Adley Rutschman is set for evaluation, Jack Flaherty remains out beyond the minimum, Oneil Cruz and Corey Seager are starting rehab assignments, and J.T. Ginn completed a bullpen session. Today's studs feature Eduardo Valencia, Dominic Canzone, Shohei Ohtani, Sal Stewart, Julio Rodriguez, Yordan Alvarez, Max Muncy, Sandy Alcantara, Logan Henderson, Taj Bradley, Griffin Jax, Gavin Williams, and Gage Jump. Duds include Jeremy Pena, Hunter Goodman, Lane Thomas, Wyatt Langford, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Michael McGreevy, Michael King, Landen Roupp, and Paul Sewald. For this week's Trade Targets segment, we look at Kevin Gausman as a candidate who could be moved out of the AL East to a contender for extra win potential. Freddy Peralta also appears likely to move and benefit outside of New York, while Brandon Pfaadt remains a sell high despite his hot streak. Finally, target non-contending closers who could be dealt into volatile bullpen roles. First Cup Fantasy Baseball drops every weekday around 9 AM ET on The F6P Hour.

The Mariners lost their first two games in Texas before winning yesterday and the offensive struggles continue. Where does the majority of the blame get placed for this team's inability to perform?

Who does Hugh think will win this one? :45- What does Michael Jordan have to do with Seahawks training camp this year? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ok Dan, help us make sense of this one! We pulled George after 80 pitches and 6 innings on Monday because he was coming off a long break… and doing well, but we leave Castillo in for 7 innings, 101 pitches coming off the same break… Then, we put Ferrer in, down two, cut the deficit to one and don't use Speier or Bazardo?!? (insert wringing hands emoji) :30- Mariners Morning After We aren't bothered that the Mariners lost to the Reds last night, Chase Burns is really good and the offense struggled. We are bothered by other stuff though! :45- Seahawks training camp starts this weekend and there are fans who are bothered that the other teams in our division are getting more attention than the Seahawks, but should they be?

We thought we were going to have some live updates from Shinnecock Hills, but the weather is already wreaking havoc at the US Open!

Luckily it was a spasm in his hamstring and seems like it is not a big deal, but we've heard that before. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners managed only 5 hits in their 5-3 loss to the Orioles and once again, it seemed like we threw in the towel once we were down by 2 runs. HIGHLIGHTS ATTACHED :45- We're down with O.P.Q. That's right, it's time to talk about Other People's Quarterbacks! - Does Joe Burrow really think that the Bengals are suddenly the best team ever or did someone tell him to stop being a wet blanket? - Do the Browns truly believe in Shadeur?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So, just how foggy was it at Shinnecock Hills this morning? USA vs Australia is tomorrow right here in Seattle and Jessamyn returned from her Aussie trip with a new accent and bird friends… who will she be cheering for? Julio's injury last night had us all a little worried, but if it really was just a spasm, we can relax, right? The piggyback is coming back and the entire starting rotation is on board, so why are people still so angry about it? :30- ANDERS HIRST joins the show with his thoughts on World Cup. Was he surprised by the USA's offensive burst in game 1 and can they do it again tomorrow?

How much better were Walt and Hutch in their second year together and how much better will Zabel and Cross be together this year? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - A is for Anderson- enough with the 6-man rotation, let's go to a 7-man rotation… Kade Anderson is too good! - B is for Bad Luck- that's what Julio is hitting into right now. - C is for Chapmans- Matt Chapman is available in a trade according to the Giants… Aroldis seems to be available as well… :45- It's Trade Season! MLB, NBA and NHL could all be making moves! There is a way the Mariners could make a trade for Matt Chapman work without increasing the payroll… We are expecting a very active offseason for the Kraken, so when will it start?

Fantasy Baseball Live! – April 12, 2026 @ 3 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.The White Sox listened to our podcast on Friday, as it's being reported that Noah Shultz will be called up to start Tuesday against the Rays. I've already put my Hot Prospects of the Week in place and wrote three paragraphs about Shultz before the game. In sum, I'm not convinced his control problems are behind him. What say you?a.Will you be starting him on Tuesday if he gets the call?2.David Bednar is one of the funks runs given up in four of his five last games, with a blown save yesterday and another loss on Wednesday. If you were to handcuff, who would it be?3.Ranger Suarez had a good outing yesterday, and his early-season jitters are hopefully behind him. 4.Tatsuya Imai with another brutal outing. That's two bad and one good. I hope to put out a baseballsavant breakdown videocast on him as I've done a thorough analysis of what the data is telling me.5.Adley Rutschman hits the IL with ankle inflammation. Is there anything worth picking up here?a.Wyatt Langford appears to have only suffered a small quad injury and can hopefully avoid the IL. But maybe he should spend 10 days on it, finding his swing.6.Both Riley Greene and Julio Rodriguez finally did something after we chastised them on Friday. I think we should give these players some kind of bonus, since it always seems that after we criticize them, they perform well. What say you?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose
