Trevor Kelley

TB Relief Pitcher #44

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rays sent RHP Trevor Kelley outright to Triple-A Durham.

Kelley went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last Friday. The 30-year-old righty has made 10 appearances (three starts) this season for Tampa Bay and will presumably stick around as emergency relief depth for the postseason.

Hunter Goodman

COL Catcher #15

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Hunter Goodman went 2-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases Friday in the Rockies’ 3-2 win over the D-backs.

Goodman stole exactly one base in 2023, ’24, ’25 and in 46 games in ’26 coming into the game, so this is obviously his first career two-steal game. His singles tonight came on a grounder and a liner. He had a 101-mph fly that would have been a homer in 17 ballparks, according to Statcast, but it turned into an out at Chase Field.

Tomoyuki Sugano

COL Starting Pitcher #11

Tomoyuki Sugano pitched 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball Friday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks.

Sugano left down 2-1 before the Rockies came back to win the game 3-2. He has a 3.86 ERA after 10 starts, which could give him a little trade value in spite of his paltry 13 percent strikeout rate. He’s due to make his next start at home Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

Antonio Senzatela

COL Relief Pitcher #49

Antonio Senzatela notched his fourth win by retiring all five D-backs he faced on Friday.

Senzatela came into a tie game in the eighth and recorded the win after the Rockies went ahead in the top of the ninth. With his 1.13 ERA, he’s a leading candidate for saves in the Colorado pen, but he’s also a leading candidate to be one of the first established major leaguers traded this season.

Michael Soroka

AZ Starting Pitcher #34

Michael Soroka pitched six innings of one-run ball in a no-decision Friday against the Rockies.

Soroka left with a one-run lead that got blown in the eighth, keeping him at 6-2 with a 3.27 ERA. He has another rather kind matchup coming up against the Giants in San Francisco on Wednesday.

Logan O'Hoppe

LAA Catcher #14

Logan O’Hoppe is being checked for a concussion after a play at home plate in Friday’s game against the Rangers.

O’Hoppe was run into at home after having to go up the line to retrieve a throw. The Angels can ill afford to lose him again with Travis d’Arnaud also on the IL, but if it happens, Omar Martinez will be recalled to serve as Sebastian Rivero’s backup.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

AZ Left Fielder #12

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is day-to-day after leaving Friday’s game with hamstring tightness.

Jorge Barrosa is more likely to start if Gurriel can’t go on Saturday.

Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto hit his ninth and 10th homers Friday as the Angels topped the Rangers 9-6.

Neto homered off Jacob deGrom to open the bottom of the first and later added a 427-footer off Chris Martin in the eighth. He’s on pace for 31 homers and 106 RBI now that he’s returned to the leadoff spot after a brief, ill-planned hiatus in Anaheim.

Grayson Rodriguez

LAA Starting Pitcher #21

Grayson Rodriguez yielded four runs in five innings Friday in a win over the Rangers.

Even though he gave up four runs, Rodriguez surprisingly won the duel against Jacob deGrom. He struck out five despite recording first-pitch strikes on just 12 of 25 batters, and he gave up seven hits and nine hard-hit balls. The stuff is there for him to improve from here, but he has a 10.61 ERA after two starts and is clearly quite a ways away from being a mixed-league option. He’ll likely face the Tigers next.

Jacob deGrom

TEX Starting Pitcher #48

Jacob deGrom was pulled after giving up six runs in three innings Friday against the Angels.

DeGrom gave up a leadoff homer, two walks and another homer in a four-run first inning. He followed with an easy second, but after he allowed three singles and a walk in a two-run third, the Rangers made the rather surprising call to pull him after 65 pitches. There was nothing after the game to suggest anything physical was involved. DeGrom had decent velocity tonight, and he got 13 whiffs while allowing five hard-hit balls. He should still be fine to use against the Astros next week.

Wade Meckler

LAA Center Fielder #53

Wade Meckler went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk Friday against the Rangers in his Angels debut.

Meckler took Jacob deGrom deep in his first at-bat of 2026. It was his first major league homer, as he went without one in his only previous major league action in 64 plate appearances with the Giants in 2023. Meckler’s EV numbers just don’t bode well for him hitting for much power in the majors, but he has an excellent approach and some sneaky stolen base ability. It probably won’t make him a mixed-league option, but he might be of some use to the Angels in left field.
