CLE Starting Pitcher

Indians signed RHP Travis Banwart to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Banwart has spent all seven seasons of his pro career in the minors with the A’s, posting a 4.21 ERA with 692 strikeouts over 857 innings. He put up a 4.60 mark in 2013 while splitting time between the rotation and bullpen. The 27-year-old will most likely begin 2014 at Triple-A.

Tyler Samaniego

BOS Starting Pitcher #78

Red Sox recalled RHP Tyler Samaniego from Triple-A Worcester.

Sameniego is up to give the Red Sox some bullpen help. The 27-year-old likely will be sent back down when the Red Sox need a new rotation arm, so this likely will be a short stay.

Sonny Gray

BOS Starting Pitcher #54
Red Sox placed RHP Sonny Gray on the 15-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

Gray will be out at least a couple of weeks with the strain, but there’s a good chance the 36-year-old will need more than the minimum stint before being activated. Tyler Samaniego will take Gray’s spot on the active roster, but it’ll likely be Payton Tolle — one of the top pitching prospects in baseball — who takes his spot in the rotation.

Tyler Freeman

COL Right Fielder #2

Tyler Freeman (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

Freeman was removed from Monday’s game against the Dodgers due to illness, and the 26-year-old will get another day off in the series opener against San Diego. Jordan Beck and Mickey Moniak make up the corner outfielders for Tuesday’s game.

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.
