Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Gerrit Cole allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings and struck out six for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Cole’s sixth minor league rehab start saw him throw 86 pitches and walk one batter. He averaged 97.0 mph with his fastball, which is 1.1 mph better than when he was last seen in 2024. It sure seems like he would have been fine to rejoin the rotation this weekend had the Yankees wanted him to. As is, though, he’s slated to make a seventh rehab start next week before being activated.

Carlos Cortes

ATH Right Fielder #26
Carlos Cortes is on the bench for a second straight game Saturday to make room for Henry Bolte in the A’s lineup.

Cortes has cooled off of late, but he’s still hitting .343/.400/.556 overall with just 10 strikeouts and fine EV numbers in 110 plate appearances. He has about 300 points of OPS on Tyler Soderstrom and 400 points on Lawrence Butler, the two guys flanking Bolte in center tonight. What he doesn’t have, however, is a long-term contract guaranteed through 2031 or ’32.

Jose Trevino

CIN Catcher #35

Jose Trevino left Saturday’s game because of a left hamstring problem.

Tyler Stephenson pinch-hit for him in the sixth inning. Trevino served an IL stint last month for a back strain. If he returns to the IL, the Reds could look to bring back P.J. Higgins, who was just DFA’d, or call up Will Banfield.

Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow Tuesday, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

Roberts was not sure if the operation will be the same that Tarik Skubal underwent, which carries a 4-6 week recovery timeline. If he did undergo that procedure, it would put him out through at least July, with a return after the All-Star break the most likely outcome. River Ryan is expected to take Snell’s place in the rotation in the meantime. When healthy, Snell is one of the best in baseball, but it’s yet another season that will be shortened substantially due to injury.

TB 3rd Baseman #13

Junior Caminero went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored against the Marlins on Saturday.

Caminero had just an infield single through nine innings before getting an at-bat with two runners on in the tenth. He hit one just shy of a home run, doubling off the top of the left field wall to drive in two runs. Caminero had gone four games without driving in a run before collecting his two RBI in extras. The 22-year-old slugger is hitting .253/.333/.471 with 11 homers, 27 runs scored, and 21 RBI across 192 plate appearances.

Fairbanks was summoned in the ninth to close out the game against the Rays with a one-run lead. He issued a walk to Cedric Mullins with one out. Mullins would steal second and reach third on a throwing error before scoring on a single to tie the game. Fairbanks would finish out the inning with two strikeouts, then fell in line for a win in the tenth.

Sandy Alcantara

MIA Starting Pitcher #22

Sandy Alcatara allowed one run -- zero earned -- and struck out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Rays on Saturday.

Alcantara tossed two scoreless innings, then gave up one unearned run on two hits in the third. He settled in for three more scoreless frames, ending his day after six with six strikeouts. It was the first start in which Alcantara allowed fewer than two runs since April 1. The 30-year-old right-hander will carry a 3.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 45/20 K/BB ratio across 63 2/3 innings into a start against the Braves in Miami on Thursday.
