  • TB 3rd Baseman #13
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Caminero extended Tampa Bay’s early lead with 116.8-mph single to left field in the second inning before taking Orioles reliever Cameron Foster deep for a three-run blast in the fifth inning. It was his second consecutive contest with a big fly and his 13th round-tripper of the season. He’s gone deep five times since May 1.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #1
    Gore needed 28 pitches to get through his lone inning of work, with his fastball velocity down considerably before he was replaced by reliever Peyton Gray. He was charged with two runs on three hits. He struck out two and also issued a pair of walks. It certainly sounds like a potential injured list situation, but the Rangers are calling his exit precautionary in nature. There should be an update on his status in the coming days once he undergoes further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #7
    Snell will have the same innovative procedure, which is less invasive and uses a smaller incision than a typical arthroscopic surgery, that Tigers ace Tarik Skubal underwent earlier this month. The hope that he’ll be able to return within roughly 4-6 weeks after the procedure. There should be a definitive timetable once he starts ramping up his throwing program in a couple weeks.
  • BAL 2nd Baseman #7
    It’s challenging to forecast Holliday making a significant fantasy impact right away since he didn’t exactly tear the cover off the ball during his latest rehab stint in the upper minors. The 22-year-old former top prospect experienced several setbacks during his rehabilitation process and has been on the shelf since undergoing surgery to repair a hamate fracture back in spring training. It may take time to shake off the metaphorical cobwebs, but Holliday should be an impactful fantasy contributor at second base this season, but only if he’s finally put the hand issue to bed. He figures to spend some time at both second and third base with the Orioles over the remainder of the year.
  • TEX Shortstop #5
    It’s extremely unfortunate timing for fantasy managers with the Rangers opening a three-game series at Coors Field on Monday night. The decision was made to give Seager some extra time off after he left the club to visit a back specialist after undergoing an MRI over the weekend. The major concern here is that back issues can be complicated matters. There should be a rough timetable for his return at some point in the near future. It’ll be Ezequiel Duran taking over at shortstop in his absence.
  • ATL Right Fielder #13
    He’s officially back. Atlanta apparently decided to reverse course and bring Acuña off the injured list for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins after manager Walt Weiss expressed some concerns about the artificial turf at loanDepot park. He’s not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener, but figures to be available off the bench. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar wound up missing just over two weeks with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Fantasy managers should make sure he’s back in lineups this week.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #45
    New York has an opening in their rotation for Friday’s series opener against the division-rival Rays in Yankee Stadium after shipping rookie starter Elmer Rodríguez back to the minors. It’s hardly official yet, but Cole would be making his first start in the big leagues since Game 5 of the World Series back in 2024 after missing all of last year recovering from Tommy John surgery. He threw 86 pitches, while averaging 97 mph on his four-seam fastball, over 5 1/3 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in his latest rehab outing last weekend. It certainly sounds like a strong possibility Cole returns later this week. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
  • PHI Designated Hitter #12
    Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly told reporters Schwarber is under the weather and will get some time off to rest and recover. The 33-year-old slugger is arguably the hottest hitter in baseball right now after homering nine times in his last 10 games. He leads the majors with 20 big flies in 47 games. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.
  • MIN Center Fielder #25
    Buxton participated in pregame workouts over the weekend but has been held out of game action since last Wednesday due to right hip flexor soreness. Twins manager Derek Shelton told reporters prior to Monday’s series opener that Buxton is “very close” to returning to the lineup. However, it’ll be James Outman patrolling center field on Monday night. It certainly sounds like there’s a strong possibility Buxton is ready for Tuesday’s contest, which is a massive relief for fantasy managers.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #50
    It sounds like a precautionary decision by Kansas City after Bubic told reporters he experienced more soreness than usual following his last start against the White Sox where he allowed five runs over four innings. The 28-year-old lefty will undergo further evaluation, and likely imaging, to determine whether he’s dealing with anything from a structural standpoint. At a minimum, he’ll wind up missing at least a couple weeks.
