Each weekend, Scott White ranks the two start pitchers for the upcoming scoring period and then categorizes them by how usable they are. The names depicted here are highly speculative and subject to change.

One of the most common ways they change is with the addition of a spot starter when a team is scheduled to play six games in a row. It doesn’t always happen, but it happens often enough that I’m taking the extra step this year of pointing out which of the two-start pitchers is scheduled for Tuesday and Sunday in the upcoming scoring period since they’re the most likely to lose out in such a scenario.

Below are the two-start pitchers for Fantasy Week 8 (May 12-18), with the most questionable (Tuesday/Sunday in a seven-game week) being Tarik Skubal, Hunter Brown, Luis Castillo, Logan Henderson, Aaron Nola, Gavin Williams, Tomoyuki Sugano, Walker Buehler, Bailey Falter, Kyle Hendricks, Osvaldo Bido and Antonio Senzatela..

Be sure to check back Sunday for the latest updates.

Must-start, all formats
Advisable in most cases
Better left for points leagues

Mets’ Juan Soto met with boos at Yankee Stadium

NEW YORK — The booing started in batting practice, intensified when the starting lineup was read over the PA system and reached its crescendo at 7:10 p.m., when Juan Soto, deciding to have a little fun, doffed his helmet before stepping into the Yankee Stadium batter’s box in the gray uniform of the visiting New York Mets for the first time.

Soto proceeded to steal second base, leaving too early but arriving safely at second when Carlos Rodón’s throw went […]

That’s easy to roll off his back."I try to look at the […]
