HOU 2nd Baseman #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jose Altuve blasted a two run homer and collected three RBI on Sunday, leading the Astros to a 12-2 lopsided victory over the Padres.

Altuve extended Houston’s early lead with a two-run homer off Padres rookie Matt Waldron in the third inning and was also hit by a pitch in the sixth inning with the bases loaded to bring in an additional run. The 33-year-old veteran second baseman has been snake-bitten by injuries this season, but has remained productive, posting a robust .949 OPS with 16 homers and 13 stolen bases in just 72 games.

TB Relief Pitcher #64

Rays acquired RHP Casey Legumina from the Mariners for RHP Ty Cummings.

Legumina, holder of a career 5.83 ERA in 73 major league games, will head to the Rays laboratory and see if they can get him humming. He’s no threat to the top of the bullpen at the moment.

James Schiano discusses rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie's debut for the Atlanta Braves, where he "settled in very nicely" in a win over the Nationals despite giving up a home run on his first major league pitch.

Roman Anthony

BOS Right Fielder #19

Roman Anthony (back) is not in Boston’s starting lineup Friday against the Orioles.

It’ll again be Masataka Yoshida batting third and DHing as Anthony continues to deal with a sore back. This is Anthony’s third straight day sitting with the injury. Red Sox beat reporters generally seem optimistic he’ll be back soon.

Jose Espada

BAL Relief Pitcher #70

Orioles optioned RHP Jose Espada to Triple-A Norfolk.

Espada did not appear in a game in his brief stint with the Orioles and returns to work on his 5.40 ERA in eight appearances in Norfolk.

Johnathan Rodríguez

BAL Right Fielder #62

Orioles optioned OF Johnathan Rodriguez to Triple-A Norfolk.

The 26-year-old hit a robust .000/.273/.000 in 11 plate appearances as Tyler O’Neill’s replacement while O’Neill was on the concussion injured list. He’ll head back to the minors and continue to function as depth for the Orioles.

Andrew Kittredge

BAL Relief Pitcher #39

Orioles activated Andrew Kittredge (shoulder) off the 15-day injured list.

He’ll return to a high-end role in the Orioles bullpen, but would appear unlikely to be able to do much but make footholds while Ryan Helsley is on the bereavement list. He could eventually find his way into the holds mix if he pitches well.

Tyler O'Neill

BAL Right Fielder #9

Orioles activated OF Tyler O’Neill off the 7-day concussion injured list.

He’ll be eligible to return tonight against the Red Sox. O’Neill wound up missing about two weeks after suffering his concussion on April 9. Baltimore hasn’t posted a lineup yet but it would not be surprising if O’Neill found his way into it.

Alex McFarlane

PHI Starting Pitcher #71

Phillies recalled RHP Alex McFarlane from Double-A Reading.

McFarlane will take Taijuan Walker’s roster spot. The 24-year-old had a 1.42 ERA in seven games with Reading, striking out 10 in 6 1/3 innings pitched with one save. It seems likely he’ll assume a bullpen role in Philadelphia for the time being.

Carl Edwards Jr.

NYM Relief Pitcher #58

Mets selected the contract of RHP Carl Edwards Jr. from Triple-A Syracuse.

Edwards will look to fill in some innings for the big club after Christian Scott forced two Mets long relievers to pitch on Thursday by not getting out of the second. Edwards has essentially functioned as an up-and-down reliever after two successful years in Washington in 2022 and 2023 — this is his fourth team since then and he’s recorded just five major league appearances in that timespan. He had a 5.29 ERA and 1.47 WHIP for Syracuse in four starts.

Christian Scott

NYM Starting Pitcher #45

Mets optioned RHP Christian Scott to Triple-A Syracuse.

After he didn’t get out of the second inning while walking five batters against the Twins on Thursday, it’s probably up for debate if Scott will get another chance next week or not. Either way, the Mets need the roster spot to get a fresh pitcher up in the big leagues after having to stretch the pen to cover for Scott last night. Scott can probably be dropped in shallow leagues if he was picked up in them.

Riley Cornelio

WSH Starting Pitcher #74

Nationals recalled RHP Riley Cornelio from Triple-A Rochester.

It remains unclear how much Cornelio will pitch or in what role tonight as the Nationals take on the White Sox, but it appears that at the very least he’s going to be working in a bulk role. Cornelio was Washington’s 2025 Minor League pitcher of the year and could get some runway if the early returns go well with the Nationals. The role uncertainty makes it hard to stream him today, but he could be a stash candidate in deeper leagues.
