Connor Brogdon - Sent to DodgersThe Phillies traded Brogdon to the Dodgers on Saturday in exchange for Benony Robles, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ImpactBrogdon was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he will remain on a 40-man roster as he moves to the Dodgers organization. The 29-year-old righty turned in a 4.03 ERA across 29 innings last season but has struggled to begin 2024, allowing six earned runs across two innings over three appearances. Dinelson Lamet was designated for assignment to clear space on the Dodgers' 40-man, and Brogdon will presumably head to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Michael Grove - Logs another poor outingGrove pitched three innings in relief against the Cubs on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter.
ImpactGrove has pitched more than an inning in three of his four appearances this season, with Friday's three-inning outing being his longest to date. He's mostly struggled in the early going, allowing at least three earned runs in all but one of his appearances thus far. Overall, Grove has an 11.74 ERA and 2.09 WHIP over 7.2 frames, and opponents are batting an astronomical .382 against him.

Freddie Freeman - Reaches four times in lossFreeman went 1-for-2 with four walks and three runs in a loss to the Cubs on Friday.
ImpactFreeman continues to get on base at an elite clip, as his .533 OBP through 10 games ranks fifth in the majors. The superstar first baseman also ranks second in the league with eight walks and is tied for fourth with 14 hits. Freeman is off to an excellent start in his quest to bat at least .300 for the fifth straight campaign.

Seiya Suzuki - Drives in three FridaySuzuki went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Friday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
ImpactSuzuki is one of several Chicago players swinging a hot bat amid the team's 5-2 start. The outfielder is slashing .345/.394/.621, which would all easily be new career highs if he can keep this up. Suzuki will likely cool down some, though he's certainly talented enough to post strong fantasy numbers all season.

Dansby Swanson - Goes deep in Friday winSwanson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
ImpactSwanson is off to a hot start, as he now has two home runs and a robust 1.100 OPS across seven games. The shortstop got off to a bit of a slow start in his first campaign with the Cubs last year, and while he picked things up a bit, the .744 OPS he finished with was his lowest mark since 2018. It looks like Swanson could be primed for bigger numbers in his second season in Chicago.
