Monday’s 10-game slate will feature several aces stepping to the mound, but what happens if you need a streaming pitcher in fantasy baseball? Regardless of whether you’re playing in season-long formats or DFS contests, here are three fantasy baseball pitchers to stream on Monday’s slate.
Why You Should Stream Will Warren on Monday’s Fantasy Baseball Slate
Warren is rostered in less than 35% of leagues, and he’s an intriguing streaming matchup on a 10-game slate that will feature elite arms such as Paul Skenes, Garrett Crochet, Cristopher Sanchez, and George Kirby taking the mound.
Warren has gone 1-0 with a 3.07 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through his first three starts of the season, but the biggest issue is that he isn’t lasting enough in games to make a sizable fantasy impact. He’s yet to record a quality start and has pitched fewer than five frames twice already.
He posted a 3:2 K:BB in his start against the Giants on the road on March 28, but he’s fared better at home with an 11:3 K:BB in two outings (10.1 frames) against the Athletics and Marlins.
You shouldn’t expect Warren to dominate here, but the matchup is just too good to let it pass if you need to bolster your pitching staff with a player who’s likely to be available across most season-long fantasy formats while also being a low-budget addition in DFS.
Justin Wrobleski: A Strong Streaming Alternative in Fantasy Formats
Wrobleski isn’t the sexiest pick, but on a slate with several aces stepping up to the mound, he might deliver some value as a low-end starter who can give some decent innings against a struggling offense.
Wrobleski didn’t look good in his last start, posting a 2:4 K:BB in five innings against the Toronto Blue Jays, although he allowed 1 run on just 2 hits.
This time, he faces a New York Mets offense that ranks tied for 20th in runs scored this season with 62 in 16 games. Furthermore, the Mets own the second-worst collective OPS in the majors over the last seven days with a .541 mark.
Over their last six games, the Mets have mustered just 13 runs; no team in the majors scored fewer runs than them over the last seven days. Even if Wrobleski’s numbers aren’t ideal, he could be a solid streaming alternative mainly on the strength of the matchup amid the Mets’ recent struggles.
Javier Assad Offers a Low-Budget Streaming Option in Fantasy Baseball
Yes, the matchup isn’t ideal on paper since the Cubs have been a bit underwhelming, and the Phillies have one of the most frightening lineups in the National League.
However, Chicago needed Assad to step up amid the injuries to Cade Horton (elbow) and Justin Steele (elbow), and he delivered 5.2 scoreless innings, albeit with a 3:2 K:BB, against the Tampa Bay Rays on April 7 in his season debut.
Pitching again on the road won’t be easy for Assad, but if you need innings, he could be a solid pick, as the Cubs have one of the best defenses in baseball. That could allow Assad to pitch around 5 to 6 innings again since the Phillies’ offense has struggled a great deal so far in 2026.
Philadelphia has scored the third-fewest runs in the majors entering Monday’s slate with 53 in 15 games, good for 3.53 per game. Only the Chicago White Sox and San Francisco Giants have scored fewer runs than the Phillies.
