Duplantier made just three starts this season in the Phillies’ minor league system after signing a minor league contract back in January. The 28-year-old former top prospect hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2021 campaign and might be running out of chances.

Thomson added that Bohm finished Monday’s series opener with the issue and is getting some extra time off to rest and recover. He expressed optimism that Bohm would be ready for Wednesday afternoon’s series finale at Oracle Park. It sounds like a relatively minor issues. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Jung is a little banged up, but is still available off the bench. The 28-year-old third baseman could use an extended mental reset since he’s off to a dreadful 6-for-32 start with zero extra base hits through nine games. Ezequiel Duran takes over at the hot corner in his place.

Freeman has been on the bench since being scratched from Sunday’s game with lower back tightness. The 26-year-old outfielder is presumably available, if needed, but the Rockies are trying to give him some extra time to put the issue to bed. It’ll be another turn in right field for Troy Johnston in this one.

Ross finds himself back in the fold with Arizona as organizational depth after spending a couple days on the open market. The 32-year-old reliever was tagged for eight runs over 3 2/3 innings across three appearances for the Diamondbacks prior to being designated for assignment last Friday.

Rodriguez hit the shelf at the conclusion of an encouraging spring training with shoulder inflammation and was limited to flat-ground throwing for the last few weeks. The 26-year-old former top prospect will require several weeks of build up before he’s ready for a minor league rehab assignment, which puts any potential return back into sometime in May.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Rojas was scratched to tend to a family matter. Hyeseong Kim takes over at shortstop and will bat eighth in his place.

Hader has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from biceps tendinitis and is still in the early stages of his throwing progression. He figures to be cleared to start a minor league rehab assignment after a couple live batting practice sessions. There haven’t been a ton of save chances in Houston so far with Bryan Abreu and Bryan King seemingly in the driver’s seat until Hader is ready to return at some point next month.

Harris takes a seat for the first time this season after hitting .209 (9-for-43) with one homer across 11 games to open the season. Eli White is patrolling center field and facing Angels lefty Yusei Kikuchi in this one.

After Taylor Ward doubled in Blaze Alexander to tie the game, Henderson homered off Chris Murphy to make it 4-2 in the top of the eighth. Since going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in his first two games, Henderson is hitting .297 with four homers and nine RBI in his last nine games.

Rogers has given up multiple runs in back-to-back starts, and while that’s obviously just fine when we’re talking about two runs over six innings both times, it’s something that never happened last year, when Smith allowed one run or fewer in 13 of his 18 outings. Both runs today came in the third, as the White Sox put together three straight hits with two outs, none of them leaving the bat at over 90 mph. Rogers exited the game in line for a loss, but the Orioles let him off the hook in the eighth, leaving him 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA ahead of his next start Sunday against the Giants or Monday versus the Diamondbacks.
