Jared Triolo

PIT Shortstop #19

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jared Triolo (knee) has resumed baseball activities.

He should run the bases next week in Florida. It’s hard to tell exactly how bad Triolo’s injury is from the outside, but it sounds like he’s at least a few weeks from being a candidate to be activated. Assuming everything goes right in his rehab, that is.
George Springer

TOR Right Fielder #4

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said George Springer (toe) is ‘feeling better’ after hitting off a tee on Thursday.

They’re reportedly targeting a return for Springer when they get back to Toronto next week. Springer has yet to run on the injury, but should make his comeback to the top of the lineup shortly. Springer was off to a .185/.290/.370 start with two homers and a stolen base before getting injured last Saturday.
Ken Waldichuk

WSH Starting Pitcher #52

Nationals placed Ken Waldichuk on the 60-day injured list with left forearm tightness.

This is a procedural move to clear a spot for Richard Lovelady on the 40-man roster. Waldichuk is gathering a second opinion to try and avoid undergoing Tommy John surgery, but even if he does avoid it, he’ll be out for a majority of the season.
Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5

Corey Seager is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup against the A’s on Thursday.

Against LHP Jacob Lopez, Seager gets a rest day. He homered yesterday and is off to a .203/.321/.453 start in his first 78 plate appearances this year. Ezequiel Duran will cover at shortstop this afternoon.
Jonathan Aranda

TB 1st Baseman #8

Jonathan Aranda is not in Tampa Bay’s starting lineup against the White Sox on Thursday.

Jordan Leasure will open, but LHP Anthony Kay will be the bulk for the White Sox. Aranda has slumped over his last five games, going just 2-for-18 with 4 RBI. He remains a solid 1B option in deeper leagues.
Sal Frelick

MIL Right Fielder #10

Sal Frelick isn’t in Milwaukee’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Blue Jays.

He’ll get a rare game off against LHP Patrick Corbin, with Greg Jones handling left field and batting seventh. Frelick is off to a .179/.303/.268 start, with just one stolen base and one homer so far. His performance probably has him as a fringe option in 12-team leagues at this point, but his .288 batting average and 19 stolen bases in 2025 are reasons to hold through the slow start.
Tyler Heineman

TOR Catcher #55

Tyler Heineman (back) is in the starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Brewers.

He had missed the last five games with the injury. Brandon Valenzuela will take a seat on Thursday for some well-deserved rest after covering several games in a row. Heineman is only a fantasy factor in the deepest of leagues, but it’s good to see that he was apparently able to avoid the injured list.
Zach McKinstry

DET 3rd Baseman #39

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Zach McKinstry has a banged-up arm/shoulder, also “scraped his chest on a slide home and bruised his hip late in yesterday’s game.”

While none of the injuries seem overly serious, Hinch did say, “We’re going to continue to get him looked at even further.” That could mean a short trip to the injured list is in McKinstry’s future.
Daniel Susac

SF Catcher #6

Giants manager Tony Vitello said that Daniel Susac and Patrick Bailey may start splitting time at catcher.

Bailey is an elite defensive catcher, so the Giants are going to want to keep him on the field often, but this may be more of a 50/50 split going forward, with Vitello mentioning that the catchers may just alternate games. It’s a situation to monitor and likely makes neither player fantasy relevant.
Richard Lovelady

WSH Relief Pitcher #55

Nationals acquired LHP Richard Lovelady from the Mets for cash considerations.

It’s a reunion of sorts as the Mets claimed Lovelady off waivers from the Nationals last month. The left-hander has been unable to stick on anybody’s active roster and has allowed five runs in 7 1/3 innings so far this year.
