4/21/26 2:41 AM - Blue Jays bus from Phoenix to Southern California after their charter plane is grounded. A mechanical issue with their charter plane forced the Toronto Blue Jays to bus from Phoenix to Southern California on Sunday night, a six-hour drive on a dark desert highway that got the team to its Orange County hotel at around 12:30 a.m. Toronto manager John Schneider said he was informed by Blue Jays traveling secretary Rodney Hiemstra of the mechanical problem at about 4 p.m. on Sunday, as the Blue Jays were finishing a 10-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Rather than wait for a different plane to arrive from Vancouver, the Blue Jays voted to bus to their next stop ahead of Monday night's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels.

Garrett Crochet (P - BOS)
4/20/26 11:00 AM - Zen And The Art Of Fantasy Baseball: A Disinterested Look At Garrett Crochet’s Start To 2026. This week, I attempt to turn a disinterested eye to Garrett Crochet. In my drafts, I often found myself picking between 11 and 15, meaning that my player choices once my pick came up usually included hitters like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Kyle Tucker, and Francisco Lindor. I’m high on all 3 of those guys, so I was happy to choose one of them. But I had a late pick in many of my drafts, well over 50% of the leagues I’m in, so I didn’t feel like I should draft the same guys every time. That led me to look more seriously at late RD1 pitchers than I have in the past, and Crochet was the stud pitcher most often available in the late 1st. Let’s just say I have a number of Crochet shares. And that hasn’t been great to start the season, as the pitcher I expected to be so good has been anything but.

Mike Trout (DH/OF - LAA)
4/20/26 10:00 AM - Mike Trout showed he's still a big home run threat, but can he stay on the field?. Mike Trout’s home run binge in New York this week was a flash of the outfielder’s slugging ability. Trout is six seasons removed from his most recent MVP in 2019. His last truly excellent year was in 2022, when he hit 40 home runs. Last season was only the second time since 2019 that he played more than 82 games, but he batted just .232 with an OPS below .800. The batting average is about this same this season. But with seven home runs in 22 games, Trout looks like an offensive force again. He went deep five times as the Los Angeles Angels split a four-game series with the Yankees.
