Rotoworld Player News Headlines

All Player News

Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Chase DeLauter is starting as the designated hitter and batting second on Friday against the Cubs.

DeLauter gave Guardians fans and fantasy managers a scare when he had to leave the game on Tuesday after fouling a ball off his foot. He missed one game but is now back in the lineup.
Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Pirates selected the contract of Konnor Griffin from Triple-A Indianapolis.

This move was reported yesterday, but is now official. Griffin, the top prospect in baseball, will bat seventh and play shortstop in his major league debut in the Pirates’ home opener on Friday against the Orioles. He is worth adding in any fantasy leagues where he is still on the waiver wire
Carlos Rodón

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodón will throw off a mound on Saturday and then, hopefully, begin a rehab assignment.

Rodón is on the injured list while recovering from off-season surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow. He felt some tightness in his hamstring recently, which has delayed his throwing progression, but if all goes well in his bullpen session on Saturday, then he could begin a rehab assignment as soon as next week.
Travis Bazzana

CLE 2nd Baseman #87

Guardians 2B prospect Travis Bazzana went 2-for-6 with a game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth for Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

The 23-year-old is only 5-for-24 in his first six games of the season, but he has five walks, a .720 OPS, and had three hard-hit balls in this game. With Konnor Griffin now being called up to the big leagues, Bazzana could be the next big-name prospect knocking on the door if he can start converting these hard-hit balls into more hits.
Giancarlo Stanton

NYY Designated Hitter #27

Giancarlo Stanton is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth against the Marlins on Friday.

Stanton had a routine day off on Wednesday. The 36-year-old will frequently get day games off to rest his ailing body, but he has been hot at the plate this season, going 10-for-20 with one home run and four RBI. It wouldn’t surprise us if he sits out Sunday’s day game, but he should be fired up in all lineups.
Kevin McGonigle

DET Shortstop #7

Kevin McGonigle is batting leadoff against the Cardinals on Friday.

With Colt Keith out of the lineup, it will be McGonigle batting leadoff and playing third base. The 21-year-old is 8-for-22 to start the season with five RBIs. He has also appeared in four games at third base and three games at shortstop, so he may pick up dual eligibility soon in certain formats. That only adds to his value.
Johan Oviedo

BOS Starting Pitcher #29

Red Sox placed RHP Johan Oviedo on the 15-day IL with a right elbow strain.

This has been coming for a couple of weeks now. Oviedo’s velocity was way down in his final spring training appearance and remained down during the regular season. He has already had one major elbow surgery, so there is some elevated concern here. He will visit with Dr. Keith Meister on Monday to compare MRI results with the ones taken when Dr. Meister performed Oviedo’s Tommy John surgery in 2023. This is a tough break for a pitcher who recently seemed primed to win a spot in the Red Sox rotation.
Carter Jensen

KC Catcher #22

Carter Jensen was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday when he overslept.

Vinnie Pasquantino said after the game that the team was worried about Jensen’s well-being because nobody knew where he was. The team even tried to get in touch with his family to see if they had heard from him. Fortunately, he just overslept, so this could simply become a valuable learning experience for the rookie. When asked about it, Jensen said he had “no excuses” and that he will “learn from it” and not let his teammates down again.
Robbie Ray

SF Starting Pitcher #38

Robbie Ray picked up his first victory of the 2026 season on Thursday evening, limiting the Mets to two runs on three hits over his 5 1/3 innings of work.

The 34-year-old southpaw punched out seven batters on the night while issuing three walks. Ray allowed an RBI double to Bo Bichette in the opening inning and served up a solo homer to Mark Vientos to open the second but kept the Mets off the board from there on out. He piled up 19 whiffs on 96 pitches on the night — eight of those on his slider — while posting a CSW of 33 percent. He’ll look to extend his winning streak when he carries a 3.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and an 11/3 K/BB ratio into Tuesday’s battle against the Phillies.
Matt Olson

ATL 1st Baseman #28

Matt Olson homered, doubled twice, walked and drove in three runs on Thursday evening as the Braves routed the Diamondbacks 17-2 in Arizona.

Olson got the scoring started in the top half of the first inning, crushing a 3-2 fastball from Ryne Nelson for a 430-foot (108.0 mph EV) solo shot — his first home run of the season. He then smacked an RBI double in the fifth inning and scored on Austin Riley’s run-scoring double. He also added an RBI double off of James McCann in the ninth. The 32-year-old slugger is off to a solid start to the 2026 campaign, slashing .321/.367/.571 with a homer and five RBI.
