Tommy Layne

MLB Relief Pitcher #30

Padres recalled LHP Tom Layne from Triple-A Tucson.

Layne has a 3.32 ERA in 19 innings for the Padres since debuting in the majors last year. He was used as more of a specialist in 26 appearances last season, but since Joe Thatcher is healthy, the Padres figure to use him in longer stints now.

Padres placed INF Jake Cronenworth on the 7-day concussion injured list.

It’s a bit unclear when Cronenworth suffered a concussion recently but he’s headed to the injured list with Sung-Mun Song coming up to take his roster spot.

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.

Kyle Hart

SD Relief Pitcher #68

Padres optioned LHP Kyle Hart to Triple-A El Paso.

Hart returns to the minors after posting a lackluster 5.40 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10/6 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings over 12 appearances at the highest level this season. He’ll continue operating in long relief for San Diego.

Roman Anthony

BOS Left Fielder #19

Roman Anthony is day-to-day with a right wrist sprain.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters there are no plans to place Anthony on the injured list after he was evaluated by a hand specialist on Tuesday. The 21-year-old prodigy figures to miss a couple additional games this week, including the club’s final two games in Detroit. However, he isn’t facing an extended absence, which is an extremely positive development after there was some real concern initially. There should be a definitive return timetable at some point later this week.

Andre Pallante

STL Starting Pitcher #53
Tuesday’s game between the Brewers and Cardinals has been postponed due to inclement weather.

There was zero chance of this one ever getting going based on the forecast at Busch Stadium on Tuesday night. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on July 7. Tuesday’s original starters — Brandon Sproat and Andre Pallante — will presumably be pushed back to take the ball on Wednesday instead.

Zach Dezenzo

HOU Left Fielder #9

Astros recalled OF Zach Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Dezenzo has been brought back to the majors to fill a bench role with the Astros moving on from waiver claim Dustin Harris. The 25-year-old opened the season on the injured list recovering from a right elbow sprain.

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 with Astros manager Joe Espada telling reporters he’s going to be out for awhile. 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.
