The nine punchouts are his high-water mark for the season. The Rangers decided to give Harrison some rest after he was blasted for seven runs back on August 24, and he’s responded by posting a 2.41 ERA in his three starts since. Now 13-9 with a 3.42 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, he’ll try to keep it going next weekend in a rematch with the Mariners.

Peña has checked every box in his rehab progression as he works his way back from a hamstring strain and should be ready to get back into game action later this week. There’s a chance he’s back in Houston’s lineup at some point next week.

It’s astounding that all three of last year’s AL Cy Young Award finalists are currently on the injured list. Brown appears to be the closest to returning as he works his way back from a shoulder issue that put him on the shelf last month. The 27-year-old resumed throwing last week and will begin ramping up his program in the next few weeks. He’s probably not going to make it back until some point in June based on his present trajectory.

Aldegheri comes up to provide Los Angeles with some long relief depth with Nick Sandlin being cut loose. The 24-year-old can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats while pitching in mostly mop-up duty.

Sandlin has been jettisoned from Los Angeles’ bullpen mix after compiling an abysmal 11.42 ERA across 8 2/3 innings over eight appearances.

The deal is now official. Trivino provides Baltimore with some quality middle relief depth after opting out of his minor league deal with the Phillies last week. The well-traveled 34-year-old has made 332 career appearances in the majors since 2018 and has notched 37 saves during that span.

Suárez will stick around as extra organizational relief depth for Baltimore after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 36-year-old veteran reliever allowed one run over 2 2/3 innings against the Yankees in his season debut last Friday.

Gibson showed some serious moxie during his big-league debut when he held his own against the Yankees in an extremely challenging road matchup, allowing three runs over 4 2/3 innings of work. The 23-year-old top pitching prospect is one of the more intriguing young arms in the game and should get another look with the Orioles at some point later this season. His time is coming.

Duran will return to solidify the back-end of Philadelphia’s bullpen after missing just over two weeks with a left oblique strain. The electrifying 28-year-old stopper was off to a brilliant start this season with a microscopic 1.35 ERA across 6 2/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him back in lineups this week.

Turang is back at second base and hitting third following a one-game absence over the weekend due to illness. The 26-year-old has been outstanding this season, slashing .291/.428/.491 with 27 runs scored, four homers, 20 RBI and seven steals across 30 games. He’s walked 27 times and his .428 on-base percentage is tops in the entire National League. He should see a boost in the counting stats departments with superstar Jackson Chourio finally back after missing nearly six weeks with a hand injury to open the season.

Seattle handled the Raleigh situation with extreme caution over the weekend, holding him out of two games due to right-side tightness. He could still require a trip to the injured list, but no move has been made yet. The 29-year-old slugging backstop underwent an MRI that should clarify the severity of the issue and whether additional time off will be necessary. A clearer update on his status is expected before Monday’s series opener at T-Mobile Park.
