Steven Moya

DET Outfield #33

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Tigers recalled OF Steven Moya from Triple-A Toledo.

Moya will fill the roster spot left vacant by the trade that sent veteran utilityman Mike Aviles to the Braves for Erick Aybar. Moya, 25, is a .252/.297/.462 career hitter in 128 plate appearances at the major league level. He’s doubtful to hold fantasy relevance.

Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ben Rice is back at first base and hitting second on Wednesday against the Angels.

Rice returns to face Angels righty Jack Kochanowicz after finding himself on the bench for two straight games against left-handed starters. The 27-year-old first baseman should be getting a chance to face more southpaws, but it’s simply not happening at the moment. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has also been reluctant to put him behind the plate early this season. It’s not what you want.

Agustín Ramírez

MIA Catcher #50

Agustín Ramírez is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Braves.

Ramírez draws a well-deserved day off after making 12 consecutive starts between catcher and DH since April 3. The 24-year-old power/speed combo backstop has been hot of late, batting .286 (8-for-28) with one homer and eight RBI over his last seven games.

Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

Gerrit Cole (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday.

Cole’s next step will either be another live batting practice session or starting his minor league rehab assignment. The 35-year-old former fantasy ace remains on track to return to New York’s rotation for his season debut at some point in late May.

Carlos Rodón

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodón (elbow, hamstring) is scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice session on Saturday at Double-A Somerset.

Rodón should be ready to make his first rehab start at some point next week. The 33-year-old’s recovery from offseason elbow surgery has been slowed by a minor hamstring issue recently. He’s on pace to make his return to New York’s rotation at some point in May.

Isaac Collins

KC Left Fielder #1

Isaac Collins (knee) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Tigers.

The good news here is that Collins managed to avoid serious injury when he went crashing into the left-field seats while chasing a foul ball during the first inning of Tuesday’s game against the Tigers. The 28-year-old outfielder will likely need a couple days off to rest and recover after being diagnosed with a right knee contusion.

Luke Williams

FA Shortstop #5
Braves INF/OF Luke Williams elected free agency.

It seems like these situations usually end with the player returning to Atlanta on a brand-new minor league pact fairly quickly. Williams was ousted from the club’s 40-man roster earlier this week after spending a couple games in the big leagues while Michael Harris II was away on paternity leave over the weekend.

Spencer Arrighetti

HOU Starting Pitcher #41

Astros recalled RHP Spencer Arrighetti from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Arrighetti offers some immediate streaming appeal, even in shallow mixed leagues, when he takes the ball against the Rockies in Daikin Park on Wednesday night. The 26-year-old righty was limited to just seven starts due to injuries last year and has been rather hit-or-miss from a performance standpoint in the majors over the past two seasons. It’s a strong enough matchup that he’s worth embracing the volatility, especially in deeper mixed leagues.

Dustin May

STL Starting Pitcher #3

Dustin May allowed one run on six hits in six innings in a win over the Guardians on Wednesday.

May struck out four and walked one, but posted just a six percent whiff rate and threw only 55 percent of his first-pitches for strikes. You might get away with streaming May next week against the Marlins, but it’s really hard to trust a pitcher in fantasy baseball who misses so few bats.

Riley O'Brien

STL Relief Pitcher #61

Riley O’Brien struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning in a 5-3 win over the Guardians.

O’Brien was great here, throwing 11 of 15 pitches for strikes and securing his fifth save of the season. There was some concern that O’Brien’s role as the best reliever in the Cardinals’ bullpen wouldn’t mean much on a rebuilding team, but the Cardinals are now 10-8 on the season. If they can keep games close, they are likely going to squeak out close victories, which should mean more save opportunities for O’Brien than many anticipated.

Cody Bolton

HOU Relief Pitcher #58

Astros placed RHP Cody Bolton on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 13, with mid-back inflammation.

Bolton hits the shelf after allowing five runs over 8 1/3 innings over three appearances for the Astros this season. The injuries are really starting to pile up for Houston’s pitching staff at this point.
