Rotoworld

Ryan Noda

ATH 1st Baseman #49

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ryan Noda went 3-for-5 with a homer and a walk in the rout of the White Sox on Friday.

Noda has been a tremendously successful Rule 5 pick, hitting .238/.385/.428 in 361 plate appearances. The A’s keep sitting him against lefties, even though he’s actually hit them better than righties in his limited chances, and the players getting at-bats in his spot versus lefties have no future with the organization. We wouldn’t dream of telling the A’s that they’re taking the wrong approach, but the truth is that they’re taking the wrong approach.

Rhys Hoskins

CLE 1st Baseman #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Rhys Hoskins is not in Cleveland’s starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Nationals.

Daniel Schneeman will bat fifth and play center field in Hoskins’ absence, allowing a DH day for Chase DeLauter. We’d say this looks like a routine day off, but when you’re hitting .190/.338/.388 in 44 games lower on the defensive spectrum as a low-risk signing, your roster spot is obviously on shaky ground.

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.

Will Dion

CLE

Guardians selected the contract of LHP Will Dion from Triple-A Columbus.

Dion was 3-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 15 appearances over 26 innings with Columbus, striking out 36 and walking just five. He’ll give the pen a fresh arm in his major league debut during his age-26 season.

Logan Allen

CLE Starting Pitcher #26

Guardians optioned LHP Logan Allen to Triple-A Columbus.

Allen pitched four shutout innings against the Nationals on Monday, striking out seven. It was a good impression, but the Guardians bullpen needed fresh arms. Allen holds a 5.45 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in eight starts with Columbus, so he’s not terribly fantasy relevant at this point.

Craig Kimbrel

NYM Relief Pitcher #46
The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports the Tampa Bay Rays and Craig Kimbrel are in agreement on a major-league contract.

Kimbrel reportedly will be available to pitch tonight for the Rays. Kimbrel allowed 12 runs in 15 innings of the work with the Mets, walking six in 15 innings. The well-traveled Kimbrel has pitched for eight teams since the start of the 2021 season, and when he dons a Rays jersey, that’ll make it nine.

Spencer Turnbull

INT Starting Pitcher #12

Spencer Turnbull signed a contract with Mexican League’s Cerveceros de Tecate.

The former big-leaguer was with the Blue Jays briefly last year after pitching to a 2.65 ERA in 2024 with the Phillies. Turnbull, still only 33, probably has a non-zero chance to make it back to the majors in some capacity if he pitches well and catches the right eyes.

Adolis García

PHI Right Fielder #53

The Athletic’s Matt Gelb believes it is “fair to wonder” if Adolis García will be Philadelphia’s starting right fielder by the end of the season.

García is in a 2-for-43 slump with 24 strikeouts, carrying a .598 OPS on the season. The only thing saving García at this point is the fact that the Phillies don’t really have a better option, as Gelb quotes interim manager Don Mattingly as saying “I don’t really feel like we have a true alternative.” García is an obvious candidate to be replaced as we near the trade deadline, even if he does turn it around a bit from this current skid.

TJ Rumfield

COL 1st Baseman

X-rays on TJ Rumfield’s right hand came back negative for any fractures.

It’s a massive relief for the rebuilding Rockies and fantasy managers after Rumfield was drilled on the right hand by a 97-mph fastball from Dodgers Starter Emmet Sheehan in the first inning of Monday’s series opener. The 26-year-old rookie figures to miss a couple games until the pain and swelling subside, but appears to have avoided serious injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.

Nicky Lopez

CHC 2nd Baseman #12

Cubs sent INF Nicky Lopez outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Lopez will presumably stick around with the Cubs as organizational depth after being removed from the club’s active roster last weekend. The 31-year-old defensive wizard makes sense as an emergency stopgap but he doesn’t offer enough offensive impact to be anything close to an everyday option at this stage of his career.

Brycen Mautz

STL Starting Pitcher #52

Cardinals optioned LHP Brycen Mautz to Triple-A Memphis.

Mautz returns to the minors after allowing two runs over three innings in relief against the Brewers on Monday in his major-league debut. The 24-year-old lefty figures to be an up-and-down swingman for the Cardinals over the rest of the season.

Gage Jump

ATH Starting Pitcher

With Aaron Civale likely IL bound, the A’s will call up top prospect Gage Jump, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Jump, the 73rd overall pick in the 2024 draft, will presumably go right into the rotation. He had a 4.50 ERA in nine starts in Triple-A, but he had struck out 56 while also walking 20 in 38 innings. It seems unlikely that he’ll be a mixed-league solution right away in a tough situation for pitchers in Sacramento, but he has a chance to be a No. 2 or 3 starter for the A’s in the long run.
