FA Center Fielder #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Reds released OF Albert Almora Jr.

Almora Jr. went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last Friday and will test the free agent waters rather than head to Triple-A Louisville. The 28-year-old remains an excellent defensive outfielder, but hit just .223/.282/.349 with five home runs across 235 plate appearances this season for the Reds.

Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Masyn Winn was pulled from Friday’s victory over the Red Sox after being hit by a pitch on his right knee.

Winn was diagnosed with a bruise on his right fibula head, just below his knee. While he was moving around alright after Friday’s game, he was dealing with some soreness and swelling and still had it wrapped up. It’s possible he could get an extra day off on Saturday to be on the safe side, but he shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Wyatt Langford was removed from Friday night’s game against the Dodgers due to right quad tightness.

It looked like Langford may have suffered the injury — or at least tweaked it — while rounding the bases after smacking a solo homer off of Tyler Glasnow in the fifth inning. He’ll head for further evaluation. Be sure to check back on Saturday as the Rangers should have a full update on his status.

Gavin Sheets

SD Left Fielder #30

Gavin Sheets had a solo homer in the fifth and a walkoff three-run blast in the ninth to power the Padres past the Rockies 5-2 on Friday.

Four innings after homering off Tomoyuki Sugano for the first run of the game, Sheets, the Padres’ first baseman against right-handers, won it off Juan Mejia in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth. He had been homerless in 12 games to start the year, but he’s gone 4-for-9 against the Rockies the last two days to raise his OPS from .553 to .785.

Walker Buehler

SD Starting Pitcher #10

Despite entering with a 9.45 ERA, Walker Buehler shut out the Rockies for six innings on Friday.

With his fastball up about one mph from his first two starts, Buehler allowed only three hits, all of them singles. He walked none and struck out four. It’s definitely an encouraging development, but he’s still a long way from being a fantasy option. He’ll get the Mariners next week.

Mason Miller

SD Relief Pitcher #22

Mason Miller wound up with a win after striking out the side in the ninth against the Rockies on Friday.

Miller came into a tie game and retired the side on 13 pitches. He’s faced 24 batters this year and struck out 19 while allowing one hit and one walk. It’s time to make things interesting and give the first team to score off him an automatic postseason berth.

Tomoyuki Sugano

COL Starting Pitcher #11

Tomoyuki Sugano pitched six innings of two-run ball in a no-decision against the Padres on Friday.

Gavin Sheets and Luis Campusano homered off him in the fifth. Aside from that, Sugano allowed just a double and a single and walked none. It probably says more about the state of San Diego’s offense than it does Sugano. Still, Sugano has a nice 2.16 ERA through three starts; he’s given up four homers in 16 2/3 innings, but they’ve all been solo shots and he’s allowed no other runs. He’ll make his next start in Houston.

Luis Campusano

SD Catcher #12

Luis Campusano homered, doubled and walked before being replaced by a pinch-runner Friday against the Rockies.

The Padres went out and got Nick Castellanos, Miguel Andujar and Ty France in part because they didn’t want to look at Campusano as more than their backup catcher. Campusano, though, still might well wind up as their best option as a DH against lefties. He’s 6-for-17 with a homer and four doubles in the early going. He’s second on the team in extra-base hits and 11th in at-bats, with one-third as many as the top three.

Steven Matz

TB Relief Pitcher #32

Steven Matz allowed two hits and two runs with two walks and seven strikeouts across five innings in a 5-3 win over the Yankees on Friday.

A pleasant surprise so far, Matz looks like a completely adequate starting pitcher. The Yankees sent out a lineup of nearly all right-handed batters to face the lefty Matz and he stymied them with a heavy diet of changeups and sinkers. They flailed at that changeup over and over again and he broke off a few nice sliders too as the game wore on. All in all, this was a great result against a very tough lineup. He’ll try to build on this momentum next time out against the White Sox.

Bryan Baker

TB Relief Pitcher #47
Bryan Baker worked around two hits in a scoreless ninth inning to secure the save against the Yankees on Friday.

It seems as if a new pecking order has been established in the Rays’ bullpen. Baker has now been used in consecutive save situations while Hunter Bigge and Ian Seymour worked in set-up roles. This was the first time in a week Griffin Jax returned to a relatively high-leverage situation as he relieved starter Steven Matz in the fifth inning to face Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton. Nevertheless, Baker appears to be the closer in Tampa Bay right now.

Yandy Díaz

TB 1st Baseman #2

Yandy Díaz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run on Friday against the Yankees.

Díaz has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the first two weeks of the season with a .373 batting average, 1.066 OPS, and three home runs. Despite entering his age-34 season, his bat speed is up a tick in the early going and has fantasy managers hopeful that he can get near the 25 home runs he hit last season despite the Rays moving back to Tropicana Field. Power aside, Díaz remains one of the best bets for a high batting average in the league.
