Kosuke Fukudome

NYY Outfield

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kosuke Fukudome is batting just .143/.200/.143 through his first 15 plate appearances with the White Sox.

Fukdome’s only two hits have been singles and he’s drawn just one walk against four strikeouts. The 34-year-old outfielder won’t carry any fantasy value this year.

Luis Peralta

COL Starting Pitcher #41

Rockies designated LHP Luis Peralta for assignment.

It clears room on the 40-man roster for Blas Castaño, who was claimed off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday. Peralta will now hit the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Blas Castano

COL Relief Pitcher #62
Rockies claimed RHP Blas Castaño off waivers from the Mariners.

Castaño was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. The 27-year-old will provide some depth and likely get a chance at some point to help the Colorado bullpen. Good luck.

Juan Soto

NYM Right Fielder #22

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Mets plan on reinstating Juan Soto (calf) off the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Soto has missed the majority of April while recovering from his strained right calf, and the Mets have clearly missed the slugger over the past few weeks. The 27-year-old may get some days off to stay fresh and avoid an aggravation, but fantasy managers need to be prepared to have Soto in their lineup starting Wednesday.

Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Twins recalled LHP Kendry Rojas from Triple-A St. Paul.

Rojas is up with Kody Funderburk officially placed on the paternity list. The 23-year-old will make his MLB debut if/when he gets a chance to pitch in the next week.

Royce Lewis

MIN 3rd Baseman #23

Twins activated INF Royce Lewis off the 10-day injured list.

It was a short stint on the IL for Lewis after dealing with a right knee sprain. The 26-year-old is back and will assuredly be in the lineup on a consistent basis, although Minnesota may give him some maintenance days to (hopefully) prevent further issue.

Sam Huff

BAL Catcher #23

Orioles designated C Sam Huff for assignment.

Huff’s services are no longer required in Baltimore with Adley Rutschman coming off the 10-day injured list from his ankle injury. The former top prospect will hit the waiver wire, and he’ll have a choice to report back to Norfolk or hit free agency if he’s unclaimed.

Adley Rutschman

BAL Catcher #35

Orioles activated C Adley Rutschman off the 10-day injured list.

Rutschman missed just the minimum amount of time while dealing with inflammation in his ankle. The 28-year-old is back and will resume starting catching duties, with an occasional start at designated hitter here and there.

Juan Valera

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox RHP prospect Juan Valera will indeed have an MRI on his elbow.

Valera left his last start with elbow soreness, but the team said on Monday that he would not need an X-ray or MRI. A day later, he is heading for an MRI. That’s a bit concerning, considering the 19-year-old missed three months last season with an elbow issue. We could be looking at an extended absence for the Red Sox’s fifth-ranked prospect.
