    Andrew Heaney blanked the Orioles for five innings in a victory Sunday.
    Before Anthony Santander homered off David Robertson in the eighth, he hit balls 393 and 371 feet off Heaney. Both of those turned into outs, however, even though the latter was meant to be a homer in 15 ballparks. Heaney earned his third win in 19 starts this year and fourth overall. He has a 2.60 ERA since picking up the first of those on May 28. Before that, he was 0-6 with a 4.69 ERA.
  • SF Right Fielder #59

    Jerar Encarnacion (hand) will play first base for his rehab game Saturday.
    Melvin hinted that could be where Encarnacion receives the bulk of his playing time with Wilmer Flores serving as designated hitter. Encarnacion will likely need a handful of rehab games after missing all of 2025 with his fractured left hand, but the slugger is worth a look in deeper leagues as someone who can hit for power and with outfield eligibility.
    Reds, Greene 'avoid disaster' with groin strain
    James Schiano explains how the Cincinnati Reds and pitcher Hunter Greene avoided disaster with his groin strain considering his history of arm injuries, and why fantasy managers should look to get him for cheap.
  • CHC Left Fielder #8
    Ian Happ is not in the lineup Saturday due to oblique discomfort.
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that the benching is precautionary, so there’s a good chance this will only be a game or two absence for the 30-year-old. Seiya Suzuki will be the left fielder, and Pete Crow-Armstrong is leading off with Happ out.
  • LAA Right Fielder #12
    Jorge Soler (groin) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Orioles.
    Soler was scratched from the lineup Friday, and he’ll miss at least one more game. The hope is for Soler to return for the finale against Baltimore on Sunday, but no guarantees. Matthew Lugo is in left field with Taylor Ward the designated hitter.
  • BOS Left Fielder #30
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that Rob Refsnyder is day-to-day with back spasms.
    The bad news is that Refsnyder isn’t able to play, but the good news is thar Cora suggested his absence is precautionary and he won’t need a stint on the injured list. Refsnyder should be able to return to the Boston lineup in the coming days if there are no setbacks.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #0
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that the hope is that Walker Buehler (shoulder) can return for their series against the Mets.
    That series takes place between May 19-21. Buehler was placed on the injured list May 2, so a return would be only slight later than the minimum stint on the IL for the bursitis in his right shoulder. It seems likely Hunter Dobbins will be the starter demoted when Buehler is back on the bump.
  • HOU Left Fielder #44
    Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters that Yordan Alvarez (hand) is still not ready to swing the bat.
    Espada did say that Alvarez is feeling better, but not well enough to swing the stick just yet. The slugger has been out of action with a muscle strain in his right hand, and it sounds likely that he won’t be back when he’s eligible to come off the IL in the middle of May. The 27-year-old is obviously someone fantasy managers have to stash until he returns to the Houston lineup.
  • ARI Left Fielder #12
    Lourdes Gurriel is not in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Dodgers.
    Gurriel’s reward for a grand slam and five total RBI night is a day of rest. Tim Tawa will get the start in left and hit eighth while Gurriel sits.
  • HOU Relief Pitcher #39
    Hayden Wesneski’s MRI showed inflammation in his elbow, and he’ll rest for now.
    If all goes well, Wesneski could resume throwing before the end of next week. The Astros still plan on going to a six-man rotation for spell, so along with having room for Ryan Gusto, they’ll need to bring up AJ Blubaugh or another rotation option next week.
  • TEX Catcher #11
    Kyle Higashioka (intercostal) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
    Higashioka has been out of action since the start of May. The backstop will likely need a handful of rehab games, and if all goes well, there’s a good chance he’s back at some point next week with the Rangers.
  • CWS Center Fielder #88
    Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup Saturday due to right knee soreness.
    He’s day-to-day. Michael A. Taylor is playing center field and batting ninth today.
