MLB Relief Pitcher #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Brewers activated RHP Jandel Gustave from the 15-day injured list.

Gustave returns to the Brewers’ bullpen ahead of Saturday’s matchup against the Blue Jays. The hard-throwing 29-year-old righty has posted a pedestrian 5.54 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 15/5 K/BB ratio across 13 innings (12 appearances) this season.

Marcus Semien

NYM 2nd Baseman #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Marcus Semien is leading off against the Twins on Tuesday.

Semien is getting the nod at the top spot with Francisco Lindor moving down to second. This doesn’t seem so much a promotion based on good work by Semien — he’s hitting just .234 with a .606 OPS — as it is a shaking up of the lineup for a team that hasn’t won a game since April 7.

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.
