Ryan Jeffers

MIN Catcher #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli didn’t commit to a Game 2 catcher Tuesday after giving Ryan Jeffers the nod in Game 1.

Baldelli has spent the last five months nearly always alternating Jeffers and Christian Vázquez behind the plate. We were hoping that would change in October, given how much better Jeffers has been than Vázquez, and it still might, since Baldelli didn’t commit to Vázquez in Game 2. Jeffers finished the year with an OPS 260 points higher than Vázquez (.858 to .598), and Twins pitchers also fared better throwing to Jeffers (3.61 ERA, .665) compared to Vázquez (4.09 ERA, .723 OPS).

Cooper Pratt

MIL Shortstop #87

Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that the Brewers will promote INF Cooper Pratt from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Pratt was removed from Sunday’s game for Nashville in the sixth inning, and he’ll now have a chance to make his MLB debut against the Guardians this week. The 21-year-old was signed to a long-term extension prior to the start of the season, and while he’s forged an underwhelming .241/.349/.386 slash in the minors, he is considered one of the better prospects in the Milwaukee system. Fantasy managers may want to see how he handles pitching before rushing to add him to their roster in 2026.

Kyle Teel

CWS Catcher #8

Kyle Teel (knee) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Charlotte.

Teel (knee) will get a chance to see live pitching after suffering a setback a month ago in his rehab assignment. The 24-year-old will likely need a week or so of games at the minimum before having a chance to join the White Sox as the starting backstop by the end of June.

Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

Noah Schultz (knee) will make a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Charlotte.

Schultz will make his first rehab start after completing a bullpen session Wednesday. The 22-year-old will be joined in his rehab assignment by catcher Kyle Teel, as all things appear to be coming up White Sox in 2026. Schultz will likely need to make a couple of rehab appearances, and then could rejoin the Chicago rotation before the end of June.

Grayson Rodriguez

LAA Starting Pitcher #21

Grayson Rodriguez exited Sunday’s start against the Rays with lower back tightness.

Rodriguez was grimacing after firing a pitch that hit Cedric Mullins in the third inning before exiting with a trainer. The Angels will all but assuredly need Rodriguez to undergo imaging to determine if there’s anything structurally wrong with the 26-year-old, but either way, there’s no guarantee he’ll be able to make his next scheduled start next weekend.

Orlando Arcia

MIN Shortstop #11

Twins designated INF Orlando Arcia for assignment.

Arcia is getting the boot to make room for Kyler Fedko. The 31-year-old has been decent wit a .271 average over 19 games with Minnesota, and it wouldn’t a be a huge surprise if there was interest in the former top prospect on the waiver wire. If he does go unclaimed, he can report to Triple-A or elect free agency.

Kyler Fedko

MIN Outfield

Twins selected the contract of OF Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul.

Fedko will have a chance to make his MLB debut upon his promotion. The 26-year-old has hit well in Triple-A with a .288 average and 15 homers with St. Paul while also adding nine stolen bases. There’s some question as to how much Fedko will play, but at the very least, Fedko is a name to keep an eye on for those thinking about making a change to their fantasy outfield.

Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Ben Rice crushed a go-ahead, two-run homer in the top of the ninth that propelled the Yankees to a 8-3 victory on Sunday.

Rice also added a single, and he’s now batting .293 with a .996 OPS for the season. It was his 19th home run of the year, putting him seventh in the majors through the middle of June. Rice has fully broken out in 2026, and he’s done it while maintaining catcher eligibility from last season. It doesn’t sound as if he’ll work behind the plate this year, but expect him to be one of the earliest first basemen drafted heading into 2027.

Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Will Warren received a no-decision on Sunday in Toronto, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks in four innings pitched.

Warren only struck out one as the Blue Jays relentlessly put runners on base. The right-hander had been enjoying the best season of his career thus far, but he simply didn’t have the feel for his arsenal on Sunday. Warren hasn’t altered his pitch mix from a season ago, but he’s thrown a bit harder so far in 2026. He’ll host the Reds at Yankee Stadium in his next scheduled start.

Patrick Corbin

TOR Starting Pitcher #46

Patrick Corbin received a no-decision on Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two earned run on seven hits over 3 2/3 innings.

Corbin struck out three and didn’t walk anyone. The Blue Jays have dealt with several pitching injuries this season, forcing them to rely on the veteran southpaw for innings. Max Scherzer recently returned from the IL, and Shane Bieber could be back shortly too, so it remains to be seen what happens with the rotation. Corbin’s next scheduled outing comes against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
