Target Red Sox’ Anthony for trade amid injury

May 5, 2026 02:43 PM

Provided he doesn't get bad news about his hand, Roman Anthony could be a good buy-low candidate in fantasy baseball.

Jason Alexander

HOU Starting Pitcher #54

Astros recalled RHP Jason Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Alexander gets the nod to replace a struggling Ryan Weiss in a swingman role for the Astros. The 33-year-old has made 15 appearances for Houston over the last two seasons. He doesn’t offer any fantasy appeal in his current role.

Nick Allen

HOU Shortstop #20

Astros activated INF Nick Allen from the 10-day injured list.

Allen returns to Houston’s bench mix after a minimum stay on the injured list with back spasms. The 27-year-old defensive specialist can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Yainer Diaz

HOU Catcher #21

Astros placed C Yainer Diaz on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain.

Diaz heads to the shelf after suffering an oblique strain prior to Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers. The 27-year-old slugging backstop has gotten off to an ice-cold start at the dish, hitting .248/.264/.356 with two homers and 14 RBI in 26 games this season. Fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues can safely move on to more exciting alternatives.

Ryan Weiss

HOU Starting Pitcher #51

Astros optioned RHP Ryan Weiss to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Weiss heads back to the minors after giving up seven runs over 4 1/3 innings in relief against the Dodgers on Monday night. The 29-year-old swingman holds a bloated 7.62 ERA and 30/20 K/BB ratio across 26 innings over nine appearances this season in his Astros debut.

Dustin Harris

HOU Left Fielder #38

Astros designated OF Dustin Harris for assignment.

Harris has been ejected from Houston’s active roster after spending a couple weeks with the club. He went 7-for-31 with four RBI and two steals in 11 games after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox last month.

Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Cal Raleigh (side) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Braves.

Raleigh is back at DH following a three-game absence due to right side tightness. It’s an extremely encouraging development for Seattle, and fantasy managers, after there was real concern he would require a trip to the injured list. The 29-year-old backstop has gotten off to a frosty start at the plate after breaking nearly every conceivable offensive record for a catcher last year, but he still has supplied seven homers, 18 RBI and two steals in 33 games this season.

Kirby Yates

LAA Relief Pitcher #39
Angels activated RHP Kirby Yates from the 15-day injured list.

It’s theoretically possible that Yates takes over the closing role in Los Angeles considering Ryan Zeferjahn and Sam Bachman appears to be the only obstacles standing in his way at the moment. However, he got hit hard in a couple rehab outings where his fastball velocity was down considerably. A wait and see approach seems like the correct move here, but Yates is probably worth a speculative roster spot in extremely deep leagues where saves are hard to find on the waiver wire.

Tayler Saucedo

LAA Relief Pitcher #55

Angels optioned LHP Tayler Saucedo to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Saucedo returns to the minors with high-leverage arm Kirby Yates back from the injured list. The 32-year-old lefty made just one relief appearance for the Angels after being called up over the weekend.

Justin Foscue

TEX 1st Baseman #56

Rangers recalled INF Justin Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock.

Foscue receives another shot in the majors with Josh Smith hitting the shelf with a glute injury. The 27-year-old former first-round pick has struggled to carve out a role at the highest level, hitting .059 (3-for-51) with three RBI in 19 games since 2024. He’s put up decent numbers on the doorstep of the big leagues, but hasn’t been able to take advantage when his number has been called.
