Chris Schwinden

NYM Relief Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Chris Schwinden will start Thursday’s series finale against the Nationals.

Chris Capuano was originally scheduled to start Thursday’s game, but he will simply be pushed back one day. Schwinden will take the place of Miguel Batista in the starting rotation, at least for one start. The 24-year-old right-hander gave up up five runs in five innings last Thursday in his major league debut against the Braves, so he can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

NYM Center Fielder #88

Luis Robert is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Nationals.

Robert, 28, has not had much success at the plate as of late, and his OPS has dropped to .656 with a .224 average. He’ll get a day off with Carson Benge moving to center field and MJ Melendez getting the start in left.

Kyle Freeland

COL Starting Pitcher #21

Rockies activated LHP Kyle Freeland off the 15-day injured list.

Freeland is back to make the start against the Reds on Tuesday. The 32-year-old would be a risky streaming option against the Cincinnati lineup, and will be a risky option against the majority of other lineups as well.

Chase Lee

TOR Relief Pitcher #52

Blue Jays optioned RHP Chase Lee to Triple-A Durham.

Lee was up for only a day, and gets optioned back to Triple-A with Trey Yesavage (shoulder) coming off the injured list. The 27-year-old will likely be back at some point this summer.

Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Blue Jays activated RHP Trey Yesavage off the 15-day injured list.

Yesavage is back to make the start Tuesday against the Red Sox. The 22-year-old was a breakout star for Toronto in both the regular and postseason, and while he likely will be working on a strict pitch/inning count early on, his ability to miss bats makes him a very intriguing option going forward.

Hunter Greene

CIN Starting Pitcher #21

Hunter Greene (elbow) has begun throwing from 110 feet away.

Greene is not expected to be ready to pitch until July, and Charlie Goldsmith of FOX19 in Cincinnati reports that the 26-year-old is about three weeks away from throwing bullpen sessions. Because of his ability to miss bats, Greene is worth holding onto even with the long delay.

Nick Lodolo

CIN Starting Pitcher #40

Nick Lodolo (blister) will make a rehab start on Saturday.

Lodolo worked five scoreless innings in his previous rehab start for High-A Dayton on Sunday. The 28-year-old will have a good chance of rejoining the Cincinnati rotation if there are no setbacks before/after that rehab appearance.

Matt Wallner

MIN Right Fielder #38
Matt Wallner is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mariners.

Wallner has really struggled to begin the season, striking out in 37 percent of his plate appearances and forging a .172/.274/.290 slash. The 28-year-old outfielder will get a break with Austin Martin getting the start in right field against Logan Gilbert and the M’s.

Diego A. Castillo

TEX 3rd Baseman #39

Rangers signed INF Diego Castillo to a minor league contract.

Castilo, 28, will join the Rangers from Mexican League club Los Algodoneros del Unión Laguna. He last played in the majors in 2024 for the Minnesota Twins. He’ll be a depth piece for Texas, and the Rangers will need to add him to the 40-man roster if they deem him worthy of an MLB call-up.

Juan Brito

CLE 2nd Baseman #34

Guardians optioned INF Juan Brito to Triple-A Columbus.

Brito is down, Travis Bazzana is up. Brito struggled in his 51 at-bats with the Guardians as seen in a .176 average and .505 OPS. The 24-year-old is considered one of the better hitting prospects in Cleveland’s system, and he should get another shot at some point this year.

Travis Bazzana

CLE 2nd Baseman #87

Guardians selected the contract of INF Travis Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus.

Bazzana will make his MLB debut Tuesday against the Rays in Tampa Bay and hit seventh while starting at second base. The 23-year-old was hitting .287/.4221/;511 with two homers and eight steals prior to the promotion. Bazzana doesn’t project to be a superstar and may deal with some struggles to begin his career — many top prospects do — but he’s worthy of consideration for those who may need middle-infield help.
