Today's slate features several starters with high upside, but also considerable risk.

The Indians will likely dip into the minors for the initial replacement for Mike Clevinger. Plus, updates on David Dahl, Luis Severino, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Tyler Anderson, Dustin Pedroia, Tyler Austin, Ronald Guzman and more.

J.D. Davis eyes more playing time at 3B for NYM. Plus, contenders for the closer throne in MIA, a long-term, under-the-radar pick for saves in PHI, musical chairs in the ATL rotation, and more.

Noah Syndergaard gets the call for the middle game of the Mets' interleague set against MIN.

Luis Castillo has changed his pitch mix early in 2019, resulting in a surging strikeout rate in CIN. Also: a fresh look at the outfield situation in STL and PIT, reinforcements in the CHC bullpen, and the heavy dose of fastball MIL batters continue to see.

A quartet of aces (Cole, DeGrom, Kluber, and Sale) headline the Strong Start options for Tuesday.

Tyler Flowers is expected to get the bulk of the playing time while Brian McCann is out. Plus, Joe Ross promoted, Ryan McMahon and Alex Avila placed on IL, and Drew VerHagen returns from IL.

Shane Greene closing doors in DET, Homer Bailey’s renaissance in KC, Yoan Moncada on fire in CHW, Francisco Lindor’s return delayed in CLE, and a Willians Astudillo sighting at 3B in MIN.

Clevinger, Avila, McCann, McMahon, Dickerson, T. Turner and Lamb. Earlier: Andujar, Stanton, Hicks. Plus, Heaney and some good news for Lindor owners.

Carlos Rodon, Kyle Freeland, Homer Bailey and Marco Estrada are just some of the names outside of the "Strong Start" group who could provide positive results today.

With MIN playing just five games—two in a National League park—we might not see much of Nelson Cruz this week. We'll check other hitter matchups for the week ahead.
