Baseball presses into the month of May with a relatively busy fantasy Week 6, in which six teams are scheduled to play on all seven days, while the other 24 teams are scheduled for at least six contests.
Among the week's highlights are a meeting between the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies at Angel Stadium, in which Mike Trout and Bryce Harper face off for only the fifth time. The series begins Monday, which is exactly 12 years and one day after their simultaneous, much-ballyhooed promotions which began their eventual Rookie of the Year 2012 campaigns, and runs through Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves, widely considered to be the top two favorites to win the championship entering this season, square off for the first time in 2024 with a three-game, weekend series at Dodger Stadium. In another first-among-2024 meetings, the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees, considered the top two in the AL East entering the season (with the two making good on those forecasts) match up for the first time with a week-opening series at Camden Yards.
The Minnesota Twins could have two players back from injury for the start of Week 6 or early in the week: Closer Jhoan Duran, who is recovering from an oblique injury, and Carlos Correa, who is recovering from an intercostal strain.
