Leury Garcia

ATL Center Fielder #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Braves signed OF Leury García to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

García latches on with the Braves as extra outfield depth heading into spring training after being released last March by the White Sox. The 32-year-old veteran didn’t play anywhere last season, so it’s difficult to forecast his odds of actually making Atlanta’s roster. He’s played in 701 contests in the majors since 2013.

Zach Cole

HOU Center Fielder #16

Zach Cole (toe) is beginning a rehab assignment on Thursday in Single-A Fayetteville.

Cole broke his toe after being hit by a pitch in late March. This is his first game activity since. He’ll likely move back up to Triple-A and resume being useful depth for the Astros by the end of April or in early May.

Hunter Goodman

COL Catcher #15
Hunter Goodman is not in Thursday’s starting lineup for the Rockies against the Padres.

Goodman is off to a .264/.340/.540 start with six homers in his first 24 games. Brett Sullivan will draw a day-game-after-a-night-game start at catcher against RHP Matt Waldron.

Tyler Davis

CWS Middle Reliever

White Sox recalled RHP Tyler Davis from Triple-A Charlotte.

He had a 1.09 WHIP and 4.91 ERA in six outings with Charlotte. The 27-year-old will likely only work in low leverage situations for the time being.

Lucas Sims

CWS Relief Pitcher #39

White Sox designated RHP Lucas Sims for assignment.

These things happen. The 31-year-old has a 4.5 ERA in 10 innings with the big league ballclub thus far, striking out 10 and walking seven. The journeyman has pitched for four teams since the start of the 2024 and may make it five if he opts out of an outright assignment or is claimed on waivers.

Seth Halvorsen

COL Relief Pitcher #54

Rockies recalled RHP Seth Halvorsen from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Halvorsen saved 11 games for the Rockies last year with a 4.99 ERA in 42 appearances, but has pitched for the Isotopes all season to date and would seem to be no threat to Viktor Vodnik at this time. The 26-year-old righty had a 1.80 ERA and two saves in nine appearance at Triple-A so far this year. He’ll be up while Jimmy Herget is on the paternity list.

Jimmy Herget

COL Relief Pitcher #44

Rockies placed RHP Jimmy Herget on the paternity list.

Congratulations to the Herget household. Herget has a 1.50 ERA in 11 appearances for the Rockies thus far this year, with 11 strikeouts and just two walks. He’ll be back shortly, we assume.

Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Pete Crow-Armstrong is not in Chicago’s starting lineup against the Phillies on Thursday.

Matt Shaw is getting some run in center field for the Cubbies against LHP Cristopher Sánchez. Crow-Armstrong’s power has been missing for most of April, as he’s hitting .247/.300/.333 with just one homer and five stolen bases in the early season. Worse, the Cubs have hit him eighth or ninth in his last nine starts. Crow-Armstrong had a volatile profile coming into this year and so far he’s hitting the lower end of his outcomes.

Adolis García

PHI Right Fielder #53
Adolis García is not in Philadelphia’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cubs.

Felix Reyes, who has now hit cleanup three days in a row, is getting a start while García rests. Garcia has been a disappointment thus far, with a negative baseball-reference WAR as he hits .212/.299/.329 with two homers and one steal in his first 24 games. Reyes is at .273/.273/.545 in his first 11 plate appearances as a professional.

Alan Rangel

PHI Relief Pitcher #57

Phillies optioned RHP Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley

This is all about getting a fresh arm in the bullpen. Rangel threw three innings on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits. The Phillies will get a fresh arm up in their bullpen for the weekend, but Rangel should be back up later this season.

Nolan Hoffman

PHI Relief Pitcher #47

Phillies recalled RHP Nolan Hoffman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Hoffman has posted a 2.35 ERA and 14/4 K/BB ratio in 7 2/3 innings at Triple-A. He made his MLB debut last season, allowing three runs on three hits in one inning of work. The 28-year-old has missed plenty of bats at the minor league level, so the Phillies hope that will carry over.
