LA’s Rushing Attack Leads To Two TD Win Vs. The Argonauts
Key Points:

- Alejandro Kirk is undergoing thumb surgery with an uncertain return date, while Janson Junk showed promising pitching with increased velocity and command, positioning him as a potential breakout fantasy starter.
- Juan Soto was placed on the injured list with a calf strain, creating an opportunity for Mark Vientos in the lineup, while Gunnar Henderson and several other players like Brandon Young and Jonathan India delivered notable performances.
- Several pitchers had mixed results, including Michael Wacha's strong outing with a 0.69 ERA, Brandon Williamson's solid start, and struggles from Chris Sale and Casey Mize; Jose Soriano continues to impress with a 0.45 ERA.
- Key hitters such as Steven Kwan, Jordan Walker, Brady House, and Cedric Mullins contributed home runs and RBIs, while injury updates include Matthew Boyd going on the IL with a strained bicep and Taylor Walls returning to the Rays' lineup.
