Fantasy Baseball Live – June 7, 2026 – 3 pm ET Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend games Additional Notes: 1.Tanner Bibee with a great game on Saturday. They announced on the game that he was the least supported starter in baseball this season. 2.Imai with another good start on Saturday – 5 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER, 8K/3BB. That’s three in a row, including the no-hitter. a.Is he turning the corner? 3.Sure it was the Angels, but Roki Sasaki looked great on Friday. 7 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10K/2BB. He’s been particularly good over his past four starts. a.Has he turned things around? b.Who would you rather have the rest of the Season – Imai or Sasaki? 4.Royce Lewis is back in the Majors. I wrote last week that he was red hot and would likely see a return. Here’s what I wrote. a.What are you thoughts on his return? Royce Lewis is making a loud statement for a return to Minnesota. In 13 games, he’s hit 10 home runs and posted a .358 average. More importantly, his average exit velocity sits at 94.1 mph — a massive improvement over the woeful 87.9 mph he produced earlier with the Twins. He’s still expanding the strike zone a ton, so the approach hasn’t really changed. So why is he performing better? Some of it is BABIP correction, but only to a point. His .250 mark in Triple-A is better than the .215 he ran in Minnesota, yet still well below league norms. The real driver is simple: he’s hitting the ball much harder. The caveat, of course, is that it’s a tiny sample, and when you hit 10 home runs in 13 games, your EV is going to look inflated. Looking deeper, he’s become a dead-pull hitter, and his long injury history has likely contributed to a gradual decline in exit velocity over the years. Will the EV fully return? Maybe. But can he stay healthy long enough for that to matter? My…
