AJ Smith-Shawver - Shifts to 60-day IL Atlanta placed Smith-Shawver (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact The right-hander is working through his rehab program after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June of last year, so his move to the 60-day IL early this season was an eventuality. Smith-Shawver could rejoin Atlanta during the second half of 2026 if he can avoid any setbacks.

Victor Mederos - Sent to Atlanta Atlanta acquired Mederos from the Angels on Friday in exchange for international bonus pool money and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact The right-hander was waived by the Halos last weekend and is now headed to a new organization. Mederos appeared in five games (three starts) for Anaheim last year and had a 7.41 ERA and 14:12 K:BB over 17 innings, though he was more effective at Triple-A with a 3.39 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 16 starts.

Jorge Mateo - Gets in on rout with first homer Mateo slugged a two-run home run in his only at-bat during Thursday's 17-2 rout of the Diamondbacks.

Impact The utility infielder pinch hit for DH Dominic Smith in the ninth inning and took position player James McCann deep. Mateo has been used sparingly early in the year, appearing in just three of Atlanta's first seven games and getting only four plate appearances, and it'll likely take an injury or two to put him in a fantasy-friendly role.

Mauricio Dubón - Pops first homer of year Dubon went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact His sixth-inning homer off Joe Ross was one of four Atlanta long balls in a 17-2 rout. It was Dubon's first time leaving the yard in 2026, but he's come flying out of the gates while handling starting shortstop duties in place of Ha-Seong Kim (finger), batting .429 (9-for-21) with four runs and six RBI in six games.

Drake Baldwin - In exclusive company Baldwin went 1-for-6 with three runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's rout of the Diamondbacks.

Impact Per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, in the process Baldwin became just the third player in franchise history to score at least one run in each of the first seven games of a season, joining Hall of Famers Jimmy Collins (who accomplished the feat in 1900) and Hank Aaron (1957). Baldwin's had a blistering start to 2026, slashing .286/.375/.643 in 32 plate appearances with a double, three homers, eight RBI, nine runs and a 4:3 BB:K.

Matt Olson - Slugs first homer in rout Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, three total runs and three total RBI in a 17-2 win against Arizona on Thursday.

Impact Olson kicked off the scoring in the contest with a first-inning, 430-foot solo shot -- his first long ball of the campaign. He later produced an RBI double as part of an eight-run fifth frame for Atlanta and added another RBI double in the ninth. Olson had been having a quiet beginning to the campaign prior to Thursday, but he's now slashing a nice-looking .321/.367/.571 with five RBI and five runs through seven games.

Osvaldo Bido - Notches three-inning save Bido earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Thursday by pitching the final three innings, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Impact Atlanta carried a 12-1 lead into the seventh inning, and Bido was tasked with finishing off the contest without allowing any drama. He did just that, giving up a run in the ninth frame but overall keeping Arizona at arm's length. Bido was rewarded for his efforts with a three-inning save -- the second save of his MLB career. The right-hander is tabbed for work in middle and long relief this season, so additional save chances will likely be very scarce or non-existent for him.

Reynaldo López - Cruises to victory Lopez (1-0) earned the win over Arizona on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters over five innings.

Impact Lopez gave up Jordan Lawlar's first MLB homer -- a big 424-foot solo blast -- in the third inning, but that's the only run the veteran hurler allowed. Meanwhile, Atlanta had a big day on offense, with an eight-run fifth inning giving Lopez an enormous cushion ahead of his final frame. The right-hander has had a nice beginning to the campaign, allowing just two runs (both on solo homers) over 11 innings while posting a 6:3 K:BB across his first two starts. Lopez made only one appearance last season before injuring his shoulder and missing the remainder of the campaign, but he was an All-Star in 2024, so it's feasible that he could be a viable fantasy asset throughout 2026 if he can remain healthy.
