Atlanta's top prospect is getting the call-up, and he has the potential to be a monster for your fantasy team.
Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. goes 3-for-4, hits first Major League home run on Thursday
Atlanta Braves rookie outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. went 3-for-4, with two runs, two RBI, and his first career home run on Thursday against the Reds.
What It Means:
Acuña took Homer Bailey deep on a 3-1 pitch whilst leading off the second inning. He makes an already potent Atlanta offense even more dangerous.
We project the highly-touted prospect to tack on another 14 home runs, 48 runs, and 48 RBI by the end of the season.
Corey Dickerson hits walk-off home run for Pirates on Thursday
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson hit a one-run, walk-off home run against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon.
What It Means:
There was controversy as a fan looked to have interfered, but the umps chose not to overturn it. The Pirates won 1-0.
Dickerson is playing well for his new team. He's hitting .314 with a .848 OPS so far. We project him to hit .262 over the rest of the season, with an additional 25 home runs and 61 RBI.
Yankees' Gary Sachez hits three-run, walk-off home run on Thursday
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez hit a three-run, walk-off home run on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
He chose a great time for his only hit of the game. Fernando Rodney gave up the bomb; he has now blown three saves in a row.
Sanchez's six home runs on the season ties him for 18th in the Majors, but he is amazingly only third on his own team. We project him to hit 30 more round-trippers by the end of the season.
Tim Anderson batting second for White Sox on Thursday
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is batting second on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
Anderson was initially slotted in the eight-hole for Thursday's series opener but the White Sox moved him up to second in the order after Nicky Delmonico was scratched due to neck stiffness. The Royals are sending right-hander Jakob Junis to the mound.
numberFire's models project Anderson to score 9.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,300 on Thursday.

Trayce Thompson replaces Nicky Delmonico (neck) for White Sox on Thursday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Trayce Thompson is starting on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
Nicky Delmonico was scratched due to neck stiffness, so Thompson will draw a third straight start in right field while batting eighth on Thursday versus Royals righty Jakob Junis. Leury Garcia will play left field after initially being in right.
Thompson is averaging 6.2 FanDuel points in four games for the White Sox since being acquired from the Oakland Athletics last week.

Jung Ho Kang obtains U.S. work visa and will rejoin Pirates
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang has been granted a U.S. work visa and will reportedly rejoin the Pirates in a matter of days.
What It Means:
It's surprising news after Kang missed all of last season after he was denied a work visa following a third DUI arrest in December of 2016. He'll presumably need some time before he's ready to join the major league roster, but it looks like we should see him back on the field at some point this season.
In 2016, Kang hit .255/.354/.513 with 45 runs, 21 home runs, and 62 RBIs over 370 plate appearances.
