MLB Highlights: Braves' Acuña Jr. Calls Out Manager, Mets' Win Streaks Grow

Early in the MLB season, several standout performances and trends are emerging, including Aaron Judge's impressive offensive surge and the New York Mets' strong start powered by Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is establishing himself as the Dodgers' top pitcher, while Tyler Mahle is enjoying a resurgence with a dominant ERA and WHIP for Texas. The Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong is contributing significantly to one of baseball's best lineups in April, and the Athletics’ Tyler Soderstrom is off to a strong start with nine home runs and a near .300 average. In fantasy baseball, pitchers like Kris Bubic and Bailey Ober are highlighted as favorable DFS picks due to advantageous matchups against struggling offenses. The Athletics and Texas Rangers are identified as strong offensive DFS options, with key players like Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager also drawing attention. Across the league, managers and players are making headlines both for on-field production and off-field dynamics, such as Ronald Acuña Jr.'s now-deleted criticism of his manager's decisions.
