SD Relief Pitcher

Hong-Chih Kuo will be promoted when the rosters expand on Sept. 1.

Kuo has pitched excellent since being converted to a starter for Triple-A Las Vegas. He will pitch out of the bullpen when the Dodgers call him up and could join the rotation in 2007.

Kutter Crawford

BOS Starting Pitcher #50

Kutter Crawford was pulled off his minor league rehab assignment with forearm soreness.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Crawford won’t be sent for an MRI and they’re optimistic he’ll be ready to return to minor league games next week. The 30-year-old is likely ticketed for a swingman role once he’s ready to return. He missed all of last year with knee and wrist issues.

Martín Pérez

FA Relief Pitcher #33
Braves LHP Martín Pérez elected free agency.

No surprise here. Pérez went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. He could wind up back with Atlanta on a new deal, but he’ll head to the open market for now. The 35-year-old southpaw’s path to starts with the Braves is pretty much nonexistent with Spencer Strider (oblique) only a couple weeks away and top prospect Didier Fuentes just about ready to ascend to the big leagues.

Austin Warren

NYM Relief Pitcher #44

Mets recalled RHP Austin Warren from Triple-A Syracuse.

Warren gets the call to replace an injured Joey Gerber (blister) in New York’s bullpen. The 30-year-old righty, who has made 43 appearances in the big leagues since 2021, will operate in middle relief for the Mets.

Joey Gerber

NYM Relief Pitcher #56

Mets placed RHP Joey Gerber on the 15-day injured list with a right finger blister.

Gerber was called up over the weekend to fortify New York’s bullpen and heads to the shelf after making one relief appearance where he struck out five over two scoreless frames. He should be ready to return in late April.

Michael Grove

TB Starting Pitcher #29

Rays signed RHP Michael Grove to a one-year contract; placed him on the 15-day injured list.

Grove winds up with Tampa Bay after being cut loose from the Dodgers’ roster last November. The 29-year-old righty missed all of last year recovering from shoulder surgery after making 64 appearances (20 starts) for Los Angeles from 2022-2024. He’ll bolster the Rays’ rotation mix once he’s ready to return to the majors, but that probably won’t be for awhile until he’s gotten his feet back under him at the Triple-A level.

Ryan Pepiot

TB Starting Pitcher #44

Rays transferred RHP Ryan Pepiot to the 60-day injured list.

Pepiot wasn’t going to make it back before mid-to-late May anyways, so this is merely a procedural move to free up a spot on Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster. The 28-year-old righty has been out recovering from hip inflammation since the conclusion of spring training. He’s resumed throwing and should be ready for a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the coming weeks.

Tyler Heineman

TOR Catcher #55
Tyler Heineman (back) remains out of the lineup for the fourth straight game on Tuesday against the Brewers.

It’ll be rookie backstop Brandon Valenzuela making his fourth straight start behind the dish while Heineman remains sidelined with back spasms. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list at some point this week to enable Toronto to bring up some emergency catching depth.

Eli White

ATL Right Fielder #36

Eli White plantar fasciitis) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Marlins.

White hasn’t played since last Tuesday due to an ongoing foot issue. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he’s unable to go in the next couple days, but we’ve seen Atlanta play with a shorthanded bench for years at this point.

Spencer Arrighetti

HOU Starting Pitcher #41

Spencer Arrighetti will start this week against the Rockies.

The official word comes from Astros manager Joe Espada after Arrighetti joined the club on their taxi squad. The 26-year-old righty will get the ball on either Wednesday or Thursday at Daikin Park. It’s a tasty matchup right out of the gate, which gives Arrighetti some streaming appeal in deeper mixed leagues as he replaces an injured Cristian Javier (shoulder) in Houston’s rotation.

Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Josh Hader (biceps) faced hitters on Tuesday in a live batting practice session at Daikin Park.

Hader was sitting 91-93 mph during the 20-pitch session as he continues working his way back from biceps tendinitis that put him on the shelf in spring training. The 32-year-old veteran stopper will likely need a couple minor league rehab outings to get back up to speed, but he’s close to making it back to Houston’s bullpen, which has been struggling mightily during his absence. It’s possible he’ll be ready to make his season debut at some point in May.
