Trevor Story

BOS Shortstop #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Trevor Story hit his third homer, a 413-foot shot to left, against the Orioles on Friday.

It was a no-doubter everywhere other than Camden Yards, and even in Baltimore, it still made it into the stands. Story also walked tonight. He nearly added a two-run single in the ninth, but first baseman Ryan Mountcastle made an excellent play to deny him.

Jose Fermin

LAA Relief Pitcher #65

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Angels recalled RHP José Fermín from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Fermin will add a fresh arm to an Angels’ bullpen that has been knocked around lately. The 24-year-old hurler did a decent job in his first nine appearances at the Triple-A level this season, compiling a 3.27 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and a 16/9 K/BB ratio across 11 innings. He’ll function in middle relief for the Angels.

Who will play shortstop for Mets with Lindor hurt?

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.

Shaun Anderson

LAA Relief Pitcher #64

Angels designated RHP Shaun Anderson for assignment.

Anderson, 31, struggled in his nine appearances out of the Angels’ bullpen, posting a 5.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 12/8 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings. There’s a chance that he could slip through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra pitching depth for the Halos at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Sebastian Rivero

LAA Catcher #38

Angels selected the contract of C Sebastián Rivero from Triple-A Salt Lake.

With Logan O’Hoppe heading to the injured list with a fractured left wrist, Rivero will get an opportunity to share the catching duties with Travis d’Arnaud. The 27-year-old backstop was off to a slow start offensively at the Triple-A level, slashing just .239/.275/.283 with no homers, six RBI and a 6/3 K/BB ratio in 51 plate appearances. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Logan O'Hoppe

LAA Catcher #14

Angels placed C Logan O’Hoppe on the 10-day injured list with a left wrist fracture.

Oof. O’Hoppe was pulled from Saturday’s game after he was hit by a foul tip and imaging confirmed the unfortunate diagnosis. No word yet on how long the Angels expect him to be sidelined for, but it’s going to be a significant amount of time. Travis d’Arnaud will share the load behind the plate with Sebastian Rivero while O’Hoppe is out.

Joey Lucchesi

LAA Relief Pitcher #67

Angels selected the contract of LHP Joey Lucchesi from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Lucchesi was re-signed to a minor league contract a couple of weeks ago after he had been released and tested the open market. He’ll add another option to the middle of an Angels’ bullpen that’s desperate for anyone that can consistently get quality outs.

Jordan Romano

LAA Relief Pitcher #68

Angels designated RHP Jordan Romano for assignment.

Ouch. Romano had been functioning as the Angels’ closer this season, though he gave up four runs in the eighth inning in mop up duty on Saturday night and that appears to have been the final nail in his coffin. Rather than simply pulling him from the closer’s role, they booted him from the roster entirely. That leaves the ninth inning wide open now with Sam Bachman perhaps the favorite for save chances in the interim until Kirby Yates or Ben Joyce return from the injured list.

Reynaldo López

ATL Starting Pitcher #40
According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the Braves have yet to commit to when or if Reynaldo López will make a start next week.

The 32-year-old hurler was pulled during the second inning during Tuesday’s loss to the Nationals and clearly isn’t right at the moment. The Braves could opt to keep rookie JR Ritchie in their rotation while allowing López to work through his issues in the bullpen. If fantasy managers were planning on starting him or streaming him for his two starts next week, it doesn’t sound like he’s going to be making them.

Will Smith

LAD Catcher #16
Will Smith (back) was held out of the Dodgers’ starting lineup for the second consecutive game on Sunday.

The Dodgers had been hopeful that Smith would be able to return on Sunday, so this is at least mildly concerning. Dalton Rushing will once again start in his place behind the plate and will bat seventh against Cubs’ southpaw Shota Imanaga.

Geraldo Perdomo

AZ Shortstop #2
Geraldo Perdomo (ankle) is not in the Diamondbacks’ lineup for Sunday’s matchup against the Padres in Mexico City.

The Diamondbacks still believe that Perdomo won’t require an extended absence from the left ankle sprain that he sustained during Saturday’s game, but they’ll hold him out on Sunday as a precautionary measure. Jose Fernandez will make his first career start at shortstop in his place and will bat sixth against Padres’ right-hander Michael King.

Jared Jones

PIT Starting Pitcher #17

Jared Jones (elbow) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment at Low-A Bradenton on Wednesday.

That will open the 30-day rehab window for the 24-year-old hurler as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. Barring any setbacks along the way, he could be ready to join the Pirates’ rotation at the end of May. Inconsistency should be expected upon his eventual return, but Jones may be worth stashing now for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
