Andy Ibáñez went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI on Thursday, leading the Tigers to a 7-3 victory over the Athletics.

Ibáñez put the exclamation point on Detroit’s early offensive strike with an RBI triple into the right-center field gap in the opening frame off Athletics starter Luis Medina. He also added an eighth-inning RBI single to give the Tigers a commanding six-run advantage at the time.

Tatsuya Imai

HOU Starting Pitcher #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tatsuya Imai (arm) will make a minor league rehab start at Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday.

If all goes well with that outing, it’s possible that Imai could be cleared to rejoin an Astros’ rotation that has been absolutely decimated by injuries this season. Prior to landing on the injured list, he had posted a troublesome 7.27 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and a 13/11 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings in his first three starts for the Astros.

April 24, 2026 02:42 PM

James Schiano talks about the "suddenly surging" Mets, analyzing how they will recover from "ironman" Francisco Lindor suffering a calf strain and sharing why New York is "in a bit of a pickle" at the shortstop position.

Colin Holderman

CLE Relief Pitcher #35

Guardians recalled RHP Colin Holderman from Triple-A Columbus.

With Shawn Armstrong (groin) hitting the injured list on Sunday, Holderman will get another chance to show what he can do out of the Guardians’ bullpen. The 30-year-old right-hander has posted a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 3/2 K/BB ratio over three innings in his first two appearances with the club.

Shawn Armstrong

CLE Relief Pitcher #43

Guardians placed RHP Shawn Armstrong on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 23, 2026, with a right groin strain.

It’s a tough break for the Guardians, as Armstrong has been one of their most reliable bullpen arms this season. Colin Holderman was recalled from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move to take his place on Sunday.

Oneil Cruz

PIT Center Fielder #15
Oneil Cruz is not in the Pirates’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s contest against the Brewers.

Cruz will get a breather with left-hander Kyle Harrison toeing the slab for the Brewers on Sunday. Billy Cook will draw a rare start in center field and will bat ninth for the Pirates.

Roman Anthony

BOS Right Fielder #19

Roman Anthony (back) returned to the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles in Baltimore.

The 21-year-old phenom missed each of the team’s previous four games due to a lingering back issue. He’s off to a slow start at the plate this season, slashing an underwhelming .225/.361/.325 with just one homer, four RBI, two stolen bases and a 25/16 K/BB ratio across his first 97 plate appearances.

Jose Altuve

HOU 2nd Baseman #27
Jose Altuve is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Yankees.

It appears to be nothing more than a regular day of maintenance for the 35-year-old infielder. Braden Shewmake will start in his place at second base and will bat ninth against Yankees’ right-hander Luis Gil on Sunday afternoon in Houston.

Andre Granillo

WSH Relief Pitcher #79

Nationals recalled RHP Andre Granillo from Triple-A Rochester.

The Nationals were in need of a fresh arm on Sunday so Granillo will get another opportunity to pitch out of the team’s bullpen. He has struggled to a 12.46 ERA and 2.54 WHIP over 4 1/3 innings through five appearances with the Nationals this season. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Paxton Schultz

WSH Relief Pitcher #75

Nationals recalled RHP Paxton Schultz from Triple-A Rochester.

Schultz was just optioned to Triple-A Rochester last Saturday, but he’ll rejoin the Nationals’ bullpen with Clayton Beeter (forearm) landing on the injured list on Sunday. Schultz has registered a 4.50 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 7/1 K/BB ratio over eight innings in his five appearances at the big league level this season.

Clayton Beeter

WSH Relief Pitcher #39
Nationals placed RHP Clayton Beeter on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 23, with right forearm soreness.

That’s never what you want to hear. While the severity of the forearm issue isn’t yet known, it’s often a precursor for more serious elbow issues. Beeter had posted a solid 3.48 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 9/8 K/BB ratio over his first 10 1/3 innings while notching a pair of saves for the Nationals. Gus Varland seems the most likely to step up and secure the closer’s role while he’s sidelined and is worth a look in any leagues where he may still be available.

Andy Ibáñez

ATH 3rd Baseman #77

Athletics designated INF Andy Ibáñez for assignment.

The A’s needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the return of Brent Rooker (oblique) on Sunday and unfortunately for Ibáñez, he drew the short straw. The fact that he was hitting an abysmal .118/.167/.118 with zero homers and three RBI through his first 18 plate appearances didn’t help his cause.
