All Player News
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #30
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Skenes gave up two hits, walked none and struck out 10. He improved to 6-2 with the win and lowered his ERA to 1.98. Skenes dominated the Rockies for eight innings with Colorado’s lone run coming off closer Gregory Soto in the ninth inning. He’s lined up to face the Phillies at home on Sunday.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #17
    Roberts added that they’re leaning towards having Ohtani pitch exclusively on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium but they haven’t made a final decision yet. The 31-year-old generational talent has been mired in an uncharacteristic tailspin at the plate recently, hitting just .193 (11-for-57) with one home run and four steals over his last 15 games. He’s far too talented to continue struggling, but it’s possible that the tremendous two-way workload he’s shouldering is leading to some fatigue that’s adversely impacting his performance at the plate. The encouraging news here is that Ohtani seems to be completely fine from a physical standpoint. Hopefully the extra time off serves as a mental reset and helps get him back on track.
  • ATH Shortstop #5
    According to the Athletics training staff, Wilson will begin a rehabilitation program to strengthen and stabilize his shoulder before he’s cleared to resume baseball activities. There is no timetable for his return and fantasy managers should anticipate a lengthy absence. The 24-year-old contact-oriented shortstop was hitting .292/.311/.398 with three homers, 19 RBI and two steals in 39 games prior to suffering the injury during Sunday’s game against the Orioles. It’ll likely be Darrell Hernaiz taking over at shortstop in his place.
  • NYY Shortstop #72
    It’s awful timing for Caballero, who officially became the Yankees’ starting shortstop when Anthony Volpe was demoted to Triple-A, rather than activated off the injured list, last week. Volpe will now have an opportunity to make his case for the job. Greatly outproducing his exit velocity numbers, Caballero is batting .259/.320/.400 with four homers and 13 steals this season, though he also leads the league with five caught stealings.
  • MIL Left Fielder #22
    Tyler Black was sent down to make room. Yelich is back from a groin strain suffered exactly one month ago. He’ll surely DH most of the time for the Brewers, which will typically leave just one lineup spot for Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers against right-handers. That’ll have the Brewers picking between defense and offense, with Mitchell in center and Jackson Chourio in left or Chourio in center and Bauers in left. Bauers probably ought to be dropped in leagues in which he was picked up.
  • TOR Shortstop #0
    Giménez took Rays starter Drew Rasmussen deep for a three-run homer in the second inning before repeating the feat against reliever Ian Seymour in the seventh to record the first multi-homer performance of his career. The 27-year-old infielder was one of the few bright spots in this one as he was responsible for all five of Toronto’s runs in a losing effort. He’s up to five round-trippers already through 38 games after mustering only seven across 101 contests last year in his Blue Jays debut.
  • BAL 3rd Baseman #16
    Mayo catapulted Baltimore ahead with a three-run blast off Yankees reliever Brent Headrick after they were completely flummoxed by lefty Ryan Weathers for six-plus frames to open the contest. It was his fourth long ball of the season and first time leaving the yard since April 24. The 24-year-old former top prospect was a late addition to the lineup at DH after Samuel Basallo was scratched with knee discomfort.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #40
    Weathers carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before finally relenting a leadoff single to Adley Rutschman and was lifted from the contest after issuing a free pass to Tyler O’Neill on his 101st pitch of the contest. The 26-year-old southpaw generated 15 swinging strikes and fell just shy of recording his second double-digit strikeout performance of his Yankees debut. Not too bad for someone who lost nearly 10 pounds due to a viral infection last week. He was forced to settle for a no-decision after Brent Headrick served up a go-ahead homer following his departure. He’s certainly making it challenging for New York to consider moving him to the bullpen once Gerrit Cole (elbow) is ready to return in a couple weeks. He’ll close out a two-start week with a favorable matchup against the crosstown Mets on Sunday.
  • LAD Shortstop #50
    Betts is back at shortstop and hitting second in Monday’s series opener against the longtime rival Giants following a five-week absence recovering from an oblique strain. The 33-year-old fantasy stalwart was hitting .179 (5-for-28) with two homers and seven RBI across eight games prior to the injury. He might need time to knock the metaphorical rust off after just a pair of minor league rehab contests following the lengthy layoff. However, his return should provide a massive boost for the Dodgers, and fantasy managers as well.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17
    Not good. Jakob Junis will take the ball to open a bullpen game on Monday night in his place. Eovaldi was in line for a two-start week against Arizona and Houston after spinning an eight-inning masterpiece against the Yankees his last time out. The 36-year-old veteran will presumably undergo imaging to determine the severity of the issue and whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list. It’s obviously an alarming development for the Rangers, and fantasy managers as well. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point shortly.
