José Caballero

NYY Shortstop #72

Yankees activated SS José Caballero (finger) from the 10-day inured list.

Caballero told reporters pregame that he’s playing shortstop on Friday against the Rays, as expected. Acquired from the Rays last season, he has been sensational for the Yankees in 2026, swatting four homers and swiping 13 bases while usurping the starting job from Anthony Volpe.

Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

Yankees activated RHP Gerrit Cole (elbow) from the 15-day inured list.

Cole is set for his first big-league start since the end of 2024. The former Cy Young winner missed all of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He’s facing the Rays at home to kick off Memorial Day weekend.

Eloy Jimenez

FA Left Fielder #74
Eloy Jiménez is returning to the Blue Jays on a minor-league deal, per Mitch Bannon and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The former top prospect appeared in 12 games for Toronto earlier this season, batting .290 without a homer. The Blue Jays have dealt with several outfield/DH injuries, so keeping Jiménez around as organizational depth makes sense.

Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

Chase Petty will be the Reds’ 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Petty will start Game 2 while Chris Paddack toes the rubber in Game 1. Petty made his season debut against the Cubs back on May 4, allowing three earned runs over 5 2/3 innings while striking out one. Saturday will be his second start of the year with the big league club.

Cole Ragans

KC Starting Pitcher #55

The Royals announced that Cole Ragans (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Ragans recently upgraded from playing catch to throwing bullpens, and he’s now ready for the next step in his return to the Royals. It’s been an up-and-down campaign for the 28-year-old lefty, and the hope is that he’ll look more like his usual self once he’s back in the majors.

Chris Bassitt

BAL Starting Pitcher #40
Keegan Akin will start Friday’s game against the Tigers, as an opener before Chris Bassitt.

Bassitt was given an opener two starts ago, and he wound up throwing six innings of one-run ball against the Athletics. He carries a 5.44 ERA into Friday’s matchup versus Jack Flaherty and the Tigers.

Marcelo Mayer

BOS 2nd Baseman #11

Marcelo Mayer is starting at second base and batting seventh Friday against Twins LHP Connor Prielipp.

It’s only the second time in 12 opportunities that Mayer has been in the lineup against a lefty this season. It’s notable considering that Trevor Story underwent sports hernia surgery on Thursday, which could sideline him for 6-10 weeks. Mayer has exclusively started at second base, but if he winds up shifting to shortstop, it would help to not be in a platoon. The 2021 No. 4 overall pick has two homers, three stolen bases, and just a .290 OBP this season.

Kyle Schwarber

PHI Designated Hitter #12

Kyle Schwarber (illness) is back in the Phillies’ lineup Friday vs. Gavin Williams and the Guardians.

Schwarber missed three games with an illness earlier this week, but he’s back to hitting second and serving as Philadelphia’s designated hitter. The lefty slugger leads the majors with 20 homers entering Memorial Day weekend.

Craig Kimbrel

NYM Relief Pitcher #46

Mets designated RHP Craig Kimbrel for assignment.

Jonah Tong was recalled from Triple-A as the corresponding move. Newsday’s Laura Albanese notes that Kimbrel logged a career-high 2 2/3 innings on Tuesday, finishing his Mets tenure with a clean 6.00 ERA over 15 frames. Set to turn 38 next week, Kimbrel sits at 440 career saves, which ranks fifth all-time.
