Trevor Williams

WSH Starting Pitcher #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Pitching for the first time in 13 days, Trevor Williams allowed two runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings Friday against the Braves.

The Nationals pulled Williams from the rotation after he allowed 17 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings in his first three starts this month, but they gave him one last shot here. He ends up 6-10 with a 5.55 ERA and 34 homers allowed in 144 1/3 innings. Since he was inked to a two-year, $12 million contract last winter, he’ll be back as a fifth starter or swingman next season.

Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ronald Acuña Jr. has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, according to Braves broadcaster Wiley Ballard.

Atlanta skipper Walt Weiss expressed confidence that Acuña’s latest hamstring injury wasn’t as serious as the one that cost him nearly three weeks back in early May. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar hit the injured list prior to Wednesday’s game against the White Sox after an MRI revealed a low-grade strain. It sounds like there’s a strong possibility that he makes it back to Atlanta before the end of June. However, there isn’t an official return timetable from the club yet.

Nolan Schanuel

LAA 1st Baseman #18
Nolan Schanuel (calf) is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Astros.

Schanuel receives some additional time off to rest and recover after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game with left calf tightness following a hit-by-pitch. The 24-year-old figures to be ready for Friday’s series opener against the Rays. It’ll be veteran Trey Mancini drawing another start at first base in his absence.

JR Ritchie

ATL Starting Pitcher

JR Ritchie told The Athletic’s Jesus Cano that he’ll be pitching out of the bullpen.

Ritchie was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Wednesday’s contest and will operate in a long relief capacity out of Atlanta’s bullpen. The 22-year-old top prospect had some early success with the Braves before being sent back to the minors last month. His stuff should play up in shorter bursts out of the bullpen, but the lack of volume certainly diminishes his immediate fantasy appeal.

Chadwick Tromp

BAL Catcher #41

Orioles signed C Chadwick Tromp to a minor league contract.

Tromp fortifies Baltimore’s catching depth in an emergency capacity with both Adley Rutschman (hamstring) and Samuel Basallo (wrist) dealing with injury situations. Neither one has required a trip to the injured list, but the organization’s catching depth has suddenly become perilously thin with Sam Huff their only healthy backstop at the moment. Tromp got into 12 games for the Braves earlier this season.

Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

Noah Schultz (knee) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday at Comerica Park.

The excitement is palpable for Chicago in the wake of top prospect Braden Montgomery’s electric debut and Schultz’s impending return would provide a spark to the rotation. The towering 22-year-old southpaw will need at least one additional bullpen session before heading out on a rehab assignment. He’s been on the shelf recovering from knee tendinitis since May 26.

Colson Montgomery

CWS Shortstop #12
Colson Montgomery (back) remains out of the lineup for the second straight game on Wednesday against the Braves.

Montgomery told reporters he tweaked his back a couple weeks ago. He’ll continue receiving treatment and is likely to sit out Thursday’s series finale as well. It doesn’t sound like he’s in danger of requiring a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Luisangel Acuña handling shortstop once again in his absence.

Logan Porter

LAA Catcher #33

Angels selected the contract of C Logan Porter from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Sebastian Rivero

LAA Catcher #38

Angels placed C Sebastián Rivero on the 10-day injured list with a left hamate fracture.

Rivero is facing an extended absence after suffering a dreaded hamate fracture on a swing during Tuesday’s contest against the Astros. The 27-year-old backstop had recorded hits in seven consecutive plate appearances prior to the injury. He’s likely to miss at least one month in a best-case scenario after undergoing surgery next week.

Jack Kochanowicz

LAA Starting Pitcher #41

Angels transferred RHP Jack Kochanowicz to the 60-day injured list.

Kochanowicz is set to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery after hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation last weekend. The 25-year-old is likely to miss a significant portion of next season given the timing of the procedure, which typically carries a 12-18 month recovery timeline.

Ildemaro Vargas

AZ 1st Baseman #6

Ildemaro Vargas (general soreness) is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Marlins.

Vargas returns to Arizona’s lineup for the first time since a massive collision with Dodgers slugger Max Muncy last Thursday. The 34-year-old is back at first base and hitting seventh at loanDepot park in Miami on Wednesday evening.
