Jack Cassel

CLE Relief Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jack Cassel scattered eight hits over six innings and combined with three relievers on a shutout of the Pirates on Monday.

Doug Brocail, Heath Bell and Trevor Hoffman finished the 3-0 game. It’s the Padres’ 20th shutout. Boston has the next most with 13. The 27-year-old Cassel was making just his second start and fourth major league appearance. He might get another turn next week, but the Padres could also go with Brett Tomko, who impressed in his spot start last week.

Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Spencer Strider (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with High-A Rome.

Strider is expected to throw roughly 40-45 pitches during his rehab debut. The 27-year-old former fantasy ace will need at least a handful of tune-up outings before he’s ready to make his season debut, likely at some point in early May. He’s been on the shelf recovering from an oblique strain since the late stages of spring training.

Cole Ragans

KC Starting Pitcher #55

Cole Ragans (thumb) will start on Tuesday against the Tigers.

Ragans managed to avoid serious injury after being struck by a comebacker during last Wednesday’s outing against the Guardians, which led to his early exit in the first inning after throwing just 18 pitches. The 28-year-old fantasy ace is not expected to have any workload limitations during a tough road matchup against the division-rival Tigers at Comerica Park.

Colt Keith

DET 2nd Baseman #33
Colt Keith is on the bench for Tuesday’s game against the Royals.

Keith draws a rare night off with rookie Kevin McGonigle at the hot corner while Javier Báez takes over at shortstop with Matt Vierling in center field to face Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. The 24-year-old has been one of Detroit’s primary offensive catalysts this season, slashing .340/.375/.472 with 10 runs scored, seven doubles and four RBI through 15 games.

Luis Arraez

SF 2nd Baseman #1

Luis Arraez (wrist) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Reds.

It’s a great sign to see Arraez back at second base and hitting second after missing Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles with a wrist contusion. The 29-year-old suffered the injury during a bizarre on-field collision when he was inadvertently kicked by Baltimore rookie Dylan Beavers while making a throw to first base during Saturday’s game.

José Fermín was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup against the Guardians.

No word on the reason for the move. Thomas Saggese takes over in left field to face Guardians starter Joey Cantillo.

Tyler Fitzgerald

TOR 2nd Baseman #48

Blue Jays optioned 2B Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Buffalo.

The move frees up a spot on Toronto’s active roster for recent addition Lenyn Sosa. The 28-year-old infielder didn’t end up making an appearance for the Blue Jays after being brought up from the minors last week.

Griff McGarry

LAD Relief Pitcher #25
Dodgers acquired RHP Griff McGarry from the Phillies for a player to be named later and cash.

McGarry provides Los Angeles with a serviceable relief option after failing to make Washington’s bullpen as a Rule 5 selection in spring training, which led to him being returned to the Phillies. The 26-year-old has yet to appear in the majors and will head to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Craig Albernaz

BAL Manager

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz suffered seven fractures in his cheek area and a broken jaw when he was hit by a foul ball on Monday.

Baltimore’s first-year manager isn’t expected to miss any time after a scary moment during Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks when he was struck on the right side of the face by a foul ball in the dugout. He joked with reporters that he’ll be standing in the exact same spot during Tuesday’s contest. Jokes aside, it’s a massive relief that he didn’t suffer a more significant injury that would’ve taken him away from the club.

Hunter Goodman

COL Catcher #15

Hunter Goodman is back at catcher for Tuesday’s series opener against the Astros.

It’s an encouraging sign that Goodman is back handling the catching duties following a pair of games at DH over the weekend after suffering a finger laceration last Thursday. The 26-year-old backstop is hitting .241 with two homers and five RBI through 16 games.

Ethan Roberts

CHC Relief Pitcher #39

Cubs placed RHP Ethan Roberts on the 15-day injured list with a right middle finger laceration.

Roberts will need to miss at least two weeks with the cut on his finger. The 28-year-old will be replaced on the roster by Ryan Rolison, with Rolison recalled in a corresponding move.
