Jordan Romano

TOR Relief Pitcher #68

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

After the closer gave up two runs and took a loss Saturday, manager John Schneider said Jordan Romano was pitching with a cracked fingernail.

The Jays knew that it happened in his appearance Friday, but they used him today anyway. Unfortunately, Romano proved ineffective, giving up hits to four of the six batters he faced and taking a blown save and a loss to the Rays in the bottom of the ninth. He’ll presumably get at least Sunday off now, opening up the possibility of a save for Erik Swanson.

Nathan Lukes

TOR Right Fielder #38

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Blue Jays activated OF Nathan Lukes from the 10-day injured list.

Lukes missed right around a month with his hamstring strain. The 31-year-old outfielder will likely see a good amount of starts in the outfield now that he’s healthy enough to do so, but he doesn’t have enough offensive oomph to provide fantasy production on a consistent basis.

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.

Davis Schneider

TOR Left Fielder #36

Blue Jays optioned OF Davis Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo.

Schneider gets the boot from the active roster with Nathan Lukes (hamstring) ready to rejoin from the 10-day injured list. The 27-year-old has scuffled mightily to begin 2026 as seen in a .127 average over 71 at-bats, and while it seems likely he’ll be back at some point, it’s hard to see him being a relevant player in 2026.

Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6
Josh Jung (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Astros.

Jung has been out since being removed from Saturday’s game with shoulder soreness. The 28-year-old will continue to recover from the bench with Ezequiel Duran playing third base and Michael Helman starting at shortstop.

Erik Sabrowski

CLE Relief Pitcher #62

Guardians placed LHP Erik Sabrowski on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

Elbow inflammation is always a concern, it’s more concerning from a pitcher that missed three months because of elbow issues, and Sabrowski did just that to begin 2026. The left-hander will miss at least two weeks, but this seems likely to be a longer stint on the injured list. It’s a big loss for the Guardians, as Sabrowski has been one of the best relievers in baseball with 17 holds and a 1.71 ERA over 21 innings.

Codi Heuer

CLE Relief Pitcher #50

Guardians recalled RHP Codi Heuer from Triple-A Columbus.

Heuer replaces Erik Sabrowski, with Sabrowski placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. Heuer will be a middle-inning option in this stint with the Guardians.

Kodai Senga

NYM Starting Pitcher #34

Kodai Senga (back) will make another rehab start Thursday.

Senga will make his second rehab outing after allowing two runs over 3 1/3 innings for Low-A St. Lucie on Friday. The 33-year-old will likely need another outing in the minors after Thursday before he’s ready to rejoin the Mets’ rotation.

A.J. Minter

NYM Relief Pitcher #33
A.J. Minter (lat) is expected to be activated off the 60-day injured list before Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

Minter has been unavailable for all of 2026 as he recovers from lat surgery. The 32-year-old may be eased into his role to begin his time with the Mets, bt when healthy, he’s been one of the better left-handed relievers in baseball. In addition to getting Minter back, it’s also expected that Jared Young will also come off the injured list before Tuesday’s tilt with the Reds.

Francisco Alvarez

NYM Catcher #4

Francisco Alvarez (knee) has resumed hitting.

Alvarez is considerably ahead of schedule according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, with Mendoza saying that the backstop is “built different.” Alvarez was expected to be out through the All-Star break, and while fantasy managers shouldn’t make any assumptions, but it sounds like there’s a chance the 24-year-old beats that timeline and gets back in action before the end of June.

Francisco Lindor

NYM Shortstop #12

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Monday that Francisco Lindor (calf) has begun a running program.

Lindor has also resumed baseball activities like fielding grounders and hitting in the cage. The 32-year-old will assuredly need a rehab assignment after missing over a month thus far with his calf strain, but this is the most positive development given for the shortstop since he suffered that injury. If all continues to progress, there’s a good chance that Lindor will be back before the start of July.

Cade Povich

BAL Starting Pitcher #37

Cade Povich will be evaluated to potentially begin a throwing program.

Povich met with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday and received a cortisone injection. The left-hander will likely need to throw a few bullpens and then make rehab starts, but it does appear — for now — that Povich has avoided a season-ending injury.
