Walker Buehler

LAD Starting Pitcher #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Walker Buehler (elbow) is “coming sooner than I think we anticipated.”

The Dodgers one-time ace missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. However, he reportedly looked good while facing hitters in live batting practice sessions, sitting 94-95 mph on his fastball. The original expectation was that Buehler might not return until June, but it sounds like we could see him in May if he keeps progressing as he has.

Kris Bubic

KC Starting Pitcher #50

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kris Bubic limited the Twins to one run and two hits over six innings to secure the win in the Royals’ 3-1 victory Monday.

Matt Wallner’s homer accounted for the only damage, even though Bubic surrendered seven other hard-hit balls, walked three and threw a wild pitch. Fortunately, he was facing a Twins lineup that figures to have problems against lefties all season long. Bubic finished with four strikeouts, generating 12 whiffs on 34 swings. He will make another start at home this weekend against the Brewers.

Look to add Mariners SP Hancock off waiver wires

Eric Samulski reacts to Emerson Hancock's "impressive" season debut for the Seattle Mariners against the Cleveland Guardians and breaks down how he looks like a "different version" of himself in his first start.

John Schreiber

KC Relief Pitcher #46
John Schreiber protected a two-run lead in the ninth Monday against the Twins for his 13th career save.

Lucas Erceg and Matt Strahm were both given the day off after pitching the last two days, and Carlos Estévez went unused, presumably due to his ankle injury. Those are supposed to be the Royals’ top three relievers, but the team still got scoreless innings from Daniel Lynch IV, Nick Mears and Schreiber to finish off the Twins. Erceg figures to be the choice to close if the Royals have another save chance Wednesday after the odd day Tuesday.

Simeon Woods Richardson

MIN Starting Pitcher #24

Simeon Woods Richardson allowed two runs over five innings Monday in a loss to the Royals.

He gave up five hits, walked one and struck out two. Woods Richardson has shown himself over the last two years to be perfectly competent at pitching five innings at a time, but he just hasn’t demonstrated much upside beyond that, and given that the Twins have a mediocre offense and seemingly a well below average bullpen, pitching five solid innings at a time doesn’t figure to produce many wins. He’ll make his next start Sunday against the Rays.

Kyle Isbel

KC Center Fielder #28

Kyle Isbel went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer versus the Twins in Monday’s victory.

Isbel settled for just four homers in 135 games last season, but he’s already on the board this year after taking Simeon Woods Richardson deep. And it even came with a man on base! Isbel hit a respectable .272/.314/.386 with the bases empty last year, but that dropped all of the way to .229/.279/.300 with runners on. It’s been an issue throughout his career, which is why he entered the day with just 144 career RBI in 1,516 plate appearances over 498 games.

Justin Wrobleski

LAD Starting Pitcher #70
Justin Wrobleski will be available to pitch in a bulk relief situation on Monday against the Guardians, reports The Athletic’s Katie Woo.

Woo adds that the Dodgers haven’t explicitly stated it publicly, but the expectation is that Wrobleski will be ready to pick up the slack, if Sasaki struggles out of the gate in his season debut. The lack of a clear-cut rotation spot limits Wrobleski’s appeal to extremely deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats, but there’s some definite win potential pitching the middle innings with Los Angeles’ loaded lineup providing run support.

Jason Adam

SD Relief Pitcher #40

Jason Adam (quad) will face hitters on Tuesday in a simulated game.

It was a bit of a surprise when Adam hit the injured list at the end of spring training considering he looked sharp in a handful of late-spring relief outings coming off last year’s quad surgery. He’ll make a couple appearances for Double-A San Antonio later this week before presumably heading to San Diego to make his season debut.

Kolby Allard

CLE Relief Pitcher #49

Guardians selected the contract of LHP Kolby Allard from Triple-A Columbus.

Allard rejoins Cleveland’s pitching staff prior to Monday’s series opener against the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers after a brief Triple-A hiatus. The 28-year-old southpaw recorded a strong 2.63 ERA across 65 innings for Cleveland last year. He’ll likely operate in a swingman-type capacity as a long reliever or occasional spot starter.

Colin Holderman

CLE Relief Pitcher #35

Guardians optioned RHP Colin Holderman to Triple-A Columbus.

Holderman heads back to the minors to make room for lefty swingman Kolby Allard. The 30-year-old righty signed a one-year, $1.5 million pact with the Guardians last December after being non-tendered by the Pirates. He’ll continue serving as middle relief depth for Cleveland.

Doug Nikhazy

CLE Starting Pitcher #65

Guardians designated LHP Doug Nikhazy for assignment.

Nikhazy has been removed from Cleveland’s 40-man roster to make room for lefty swingman Kolby Allard. The 26-year-old made two made two appearances for Cleveland last season, allowing six runs over four innings of work. It’s possible he’ll garner some interest on waivers as organizational depth.

Jose Fernandez

AZ Shortstop #79

Diamondbacks recalled SS Jose Fernandez from Triple-A Reno.

Fernandez receives his first call up to the big leagues with Pavin Smith hitting the injured list with an elbow issue. The 22-year-old shortstop provides Arizona with some additional bench depth but is unlikely to play enough to matter fantasy-wise.
