Al and Beller bring you the latest in fantasy baseball, from Rodón's near-perfecto, to the impending returns of Fernando Tatís Jr. and Dinelson Lamet, to Tuesday's best pitchers to stream, and more.

Al and Beller take a look back at a Tuesday filled with news on this episode of Fantasy Baseball in 15. The league's rash of injuries continued, with Bryce Harper and Zach Plesac hitting the IL. It wasn't all bad, though, as Adalberto Mondesi made his 2021 debut, Joc Pederson and Josh Bell continued their mashing ways, and Rich Hill had another standout start. The guys discuss all of that, plus take a look at pitchers to stream on Wednesday and shine the prospect spotlight on the low levels.
