A.J. Puckett

FA Starting Pitcher #15

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Braves selected RHP A.J. Puckett from the White Sox in the Triple-A Phase of the Rule 5 Draft.

Puckett was a second-round pick in the 2016 draft out of Pepperdine, and was traded by the Royals to the White Sox in the deal for Melky Cabrera. The right-hander has not thrown a pitch since 2017, as he missed 2018 while rehabbing an elbow injury before electing Tommy John surgery in 2019.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (elbow) is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins.

Guerrero receives some extra time off to rest and recover after taking a pitch off his right elbow during Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates. The positive news for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar isn’t completely out of the woods yet, but all signs point to him returning to Toronto’s lineup this week. It’ll be Lenyn Sosa taking over at first base in his absence.

HLs: Angels walk off Rangers after Detmers dazzles

May 24, 2026 11:32 PM

The Angels used Reid Detmers' masterclass, some well-timed offense and a few good breaks to complete their first sweep of the 2026 season in a 2-1 win over their AL West-rival Texas Rangers.

Shane Bieber

TOR Starting Pitcher #57

Shane Bieber (elbow) recorded three strikeouts over two scoreless innings on Monday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Bieber scattered three hits and didn’t hand out a free pass in his first rehab outing as he continues to work his way back from offseason elbow inflammation that delayed his ramp-up process during spring training. The 30-year-old former fantasy ace will require a couple weeks of rehab outings to continue building his arm strength and stamina prior to rejoining Toronto’s rotation for his season debut, most likely in late June.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Wyatt Langford will take batting practice before Monday’s game against the Astros.

Langford is hopeful that he’ll be able to take live batting practice before Friday’s game, and there’s a chance the outfielder could begin a rehab assignment if/when he’s able to compete that goal. The 24-year-old has been out with a strained forearm since April 22, and he’ll likely need a handful of games before potentially returning around the start of June.

Willy Adames

SF Shortstop #2

Willy Adames is in the leadoff spot for the fourth straight game on Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Giants manager Tony Vitello moved Adames to the leadoff spot last Friday and he’s gone 3-for-14 with one homer and two RBI in three games since. The 30-year-old shortstop has been swinging a hot bat recently, hitting .306 (19-for-62) with three homers and 11 RBI over his last 15 games.

Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Max Fried (elbow) played catch before Monday’s game against the Royals.

The good news is that Fried was able to throw. The bad news is that Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters prior to the game that Fried’s elbow underwent further imaging, and that nothing from those results suggested that Fried was ready to “ramp up” the program. It’ll likely be a good while before we see the 32-year-old southpaw back on the mound for the Bronx Bombers.

Logan Webb

SF Starting Pitcher #62

Giants manager Tony Vitiello told reporters that Logan Webb (knee) could return to the rotation over the weekend against the Rockies.

Vitiello cautioned that nothing is final, but it does seem more likely than not that Webb returns to the San Francisco rotation in the coming days. The 29-year-old has been out of action since May 6, and reportedly hasn’t dealt with knee pain in any of his starts. Webb might be on a stricter-than-normal pitch count, but there’s still a great chance for him to pick up a win against the lowly Rockies if/when that outing comes to fruition.

Nathan Lukes

TOR Right Fielder #38

Blue Jays activated OF Nathan Lukes from the 10-day injured list.

Lukes missed right around a month with his hamstring strain. The 31-year-old outfielder will likely see a good amount of starts in the outfield now that he’s healthy enough to do so, but he doesn’t have enough offensive oomph to provide fantasy production on a consistent basis.

Davis Schneider

TOR Left Fielder #36

Blue Jays optioned OF Davis Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo.

Schneider gets the boot from the active roster with Nathan Lukes (hamstring) ready to rejoin from the 10-day injured list. The 27-year-old has scuffled mightily to begin 2026 as seen in a .127 average over 71 at-bats, and while it seems likely he’ll be back at some point, it’s hard to see him being a relevant player in 2026.

Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6
Josh Jung (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Astros.

Jung has been out since being removed from Saturday’s game with shoulder soreness. The 28-year-old will continue to recover from the bench with Ezequiel Duran playing third base and Michael Helman starting at shortstop.

Erik Sabrowski

CLE Relief Pitcher #62

Guardians placed LHP Erik Sabrowski on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

Elbow inflammation is always a concern, it’s more concerning from a pitcher that missed three months because of elbow issues, and Sabrowski did just that to begin 2026. The left-hander will miss at least two weeks, but this seems likely to be a longer stint on the injured list. It’s a big loss for the Guardians, as Sabrowski has been one of the best relievers in baseball with 17 holds and a 1.71 ERA over 21 innings.
