  "textContent": "Welcome back to The Lineup Card, a new weekly article here at Prospects Live this season that will cover developments and changes related to playing time, lineup position, bullpen usage, and more. Time and again, it’s been shown that the most successful fantasy teams are the ones that accumulate the most playing time, and this article is here to help you clue in to playing time and usage trends that will allow you to make the smart pickups before your league mates see them coming.\n\nSome familiar faces return this week as injuries continue to inspire musical chairs around the league. The Yankees have a familiar face back at shortstop, the Angels and the Reds may have new lead-off hitters, and is there officially a solo closer in Pittsburgh? It’s all here and more in this week’s edition of The Lineup card.\n\nThe Lineup Card - Prospects LiveProspects LiveDavid Gofman\n\n### Yohendrick Pinango is Back - SIGNAL\n\nPhoto Credit: mlb.com\n\nI wrote about Yohendrick Pinango’s playing time last week and labeled his playing time outlook as “noise”, but Addison Barger’s return ended up lasting two days, and Pinango is back in action and hitting second in the order against righties in the early going. As I covered last week, Pinango has been exceptional in his small big league sample this season, but his 89.6% contact rate would be elite if sustained over a full season, and significantly higher than his career average, which has been in the high 70s/low 80s throughout the minors. But Pinango has coupled these contact rates with elite bat speed and a strikeout rate just over 10%. There is an interesting player here who turned 24 just a week ago, and now has a shot at consistent playing time in one of baseball's deeper lineups.\n\n### Henry Bolte, every day CF? - SIGNAL\n\nPhoto Credit: nbcsportsbayarea.com\n\nHenry Bolte made waves earlier this month when he hit safely in twelve straight at-bats in the minors, all but forcing a promotion to Sacramento. Bolte is an exciting five-category contributor for fantasy, who showed marked contact gains this year at Triple-A, bumping his contact rates to the mid-70’s from the mid-upper 60% range. If Bolte can make enough contact, he could see some run for at least the next few weeks in center field, and his 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases in just 37 Triple-A games give a sense of Bolte’s loud tools. Bolte has shown off top-of-the-charts bat speed in his first two games, although it’s worth noting that his 79.1 MPH bat speed has come on just 6 swings, all of which were over 75 MPH. So if there’s one thing we know about Bolte early on, he’s not going to get cheated.\n\n### Zach Neto moving down the lineup - SIGNAL\n\nPhoto Credit: Wally Skalij\n\nIt’s hard to say a player who has 7 home runs and 7 stolen bases with a wRC+ north of 100 is off to a “slow” start, but it certainly feels that way with Angels star shortstop Zach Neto. Neto is hitting just .224 on the season, and his 31.0% K rate so far in 2026 is a potentially concerning trend after his 23.3% K rate in 2024 increased to 26.9% last season. While the counting stats have largely been there for Neto, he was dropped down the order on Wednesday to 6th. It’s notable as it’s the first time all season that Neto was moved out of the leadoff spot, so it’ll be worth paying attention to how permanent this change is. It’s noteworthy for now, but it’s very likely that the Angels will move Neto back up in the order as his bat warms back up. Speaking of, in his first game batting 6th, Neto went 2-for-4 with a homer. Vaughn Grissom appears to be the beneficiary of the lineup shift as he hit leadoff on Wednesday and has now started five straight games across three different infield spots.\n\n## Sign up for Prospects Live\n\nYour one stop shop for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball, MLB Draft, Baseball Card & MiLB Baseball content.
