Wily Peralta

FA Relief Pitcher #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Pirates released RHP Wily Peralta.

This should have been done the moment the has-been threw at Pete Crow-Armstrong’s head (two pitches after throwing behind him) during Indianapolis’s game against Iowa last month. But it seemed the Pirates were OK with that. They weren’t OK after he gave up eight runs in his last two appearances, taking his Triple-A ERA to 7.44.

Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Astros placed LHP Josh Hader on the 15-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis.

As expected, Hader will open the regular season with a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Bryan Abreu handling the ninth-inning role in his absence, which gives him immediate relevance in all fantasy formats. Hader remains without a definitive return timetable and has yet to progress to facing hitters. At this juncture, it seems unlikely he’ll return to Houston’s bullpen before the end of April.

Christian Vázquez

HOU Catcher

Astros selected the contract of C Christian Vázquez from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Vázquez officially makes Houston’s season-opening roster as a backup to starting catcher Yainer Diaz. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Brandon Walter

HOU Relief Pitcher #60

Astros placed LHP Brandon Walter on the 15-day injured list.

It’s a procedural move as Walter is expected to miss the entire season recovering from last year’s Tommy John surgery.

Ronel Blanco

HOU Starting Pitcher #56

Astros placed RHP Ronel Blanco on the 15-day injured list.

It’s merely a procedural move as Blanco is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery last June. The 32-year-old righty could potentially make it back to Houston’s rotation before the regular season wraps up.

Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Blue Jays placed RHP Trey Yesavage on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 22, with a right shoulder impingement

Yesavage will presumably head to Triple-A Buffalo for a handful of minor league rehab outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina before returning to Toronto’s rotation at some point in April. The 22-year-old strikeout artist is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and coming off an impressive late-season showing with the Blue Jays last year.

Shane Bieber

TOR Starting Pitcher #57

Blue Jays placed RHP Shane Bieber on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 22, with right elbow inflammation.

Bieber dealt with offseason forearm fatigue that delayed his ramp-up process. He’ll continue his build up in extended spring training before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. There isn’t a firm return timeline yet and he’ll need a few weeks of rehab outings before he’s ready for his season debut.

José Berríos

TOR Starting Pitcher #17

Blue Jays placed RHP José Berríos on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 22, with a right elbow stress fracture.

Berríos is expected to be cleared to resume throwing soon after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right elbow earlier this month. His absence puts additional strain on Toronto’s rotation mix since he would’ve had a clear path to a spot prior to the injury. He should be ready to make his season debut by the end of April.

Yimi García

TOR Relief Pitcher #93

Blue Jays placed RHP Yimi García on the 15-day injured list.

García is making steady progress back from last year’s right elbow ulnar nerve and AC joint surgery but will require additional time to build up his arm strength before returning to Toronto’s high-leverage relief mix.
