Anthony Volpe

NYY Shortstop #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Anthony Volpe (foot) is in the lineup for the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Rangers.

Volpe benefitted from some extra rest as a result of Friday’s rainout after suffering a left foot contusion during Wednesday’s series finale against the Angels. The 23-year-old, who is batting .320 (24-for-75) with five homers and five steals in 18 games since last month’s Midsummer Classic thanks to a different offensive approach, is back at shortstop and batting seventh for the front end of Saturday’s twin bill at Yankee Stadium.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5

Corey Seager is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on his ailing back.

While the Rangers are still calling it a minor issue, the fact that Seager is heading for imaging doesn’t bode particularly well for his status going forward. Fantasy managers should have a contingency plan in place for next week in the event that Seager winds up on the injured list.

Chayce McDermott

LAD Starting Pitcher

Dodgers recalled RHP Chayce McDermott from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

McDermott made eight appearances for the Dodgers at the Triple-A level, posting a 4.32 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a 16/8 K/BB ratio. He’ll function in a middle relief role for the Dodgers. Charlie Barnes was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Charlie Barnes

LAD Relief Pitcher #85

Dodgers optioned LHP Charlie Barnes to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Barnes was just promoted from Triple-A on Friday, but after being used in back-to-back games he wasn’t going to be available on Sunday, so the Dodgers opted to swap him out for a fresh arm. The 30-year-old left-hander should get another chance with the big league club in relatively short order.

Paul Gervase

LAD Relief Pitcher #65

Dodgers recalled RHP Paul Gervase from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Gervase was just optioned to Triple-A last Sunday, but he’ll rejoin the Dodgers with Jack Dreyer (shoulder) landing on the injured list. The 25-year-old hurler has posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and a 5/1 K/BB ratio over three innings in his lone appearance with the Dodgers this season.

Jack Dreyer

LAD Relief Pitcher #86

Dodgers placed LHP Jack Dreyer on the 15-day injured list with discomfort in his left shoulder.

The 27-year-old southpaw has been a key cog in the Dodgers’ bullpen this season, posting a stellar 2.08 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 24/6 K/BB ratio. As of now, there’s no clear timeline for his return. Paul Gervase was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday to take his place in the bullpen.

Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Astros’ general manager Dana Brown told reporters on Sunday that right-hander Hunter Brown (shoulder) is on track for a mid-June return to the Astros’ rotation.

Brown is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Tuesday and if all goes well, he’ll be cleared to make a minor league rehab start next weekend. He’s going to require at least a couple of tune-ups there before he’s ready to return. Brown has been shelved since the start of April due to a right shoulder strain.

Alek Jacob

SD Relief Pitcher #37

Padres optioned RHP Alek Jacob to Triple-A El Paso.

The Padres needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the debut of Lucas Giolito on Sunday and unfortunately for Jacob he was the odd man out this time. The 27-year-old gave up two runs without recording an out during Saturday’s appearance against the Mariners. He’ll bide his time at the Triple-A level until his services are needed once more.

Lucas Giolito

SD Starting Pitcher

Padres recalled RHP Lucas Giolito from Double-A San Antonio.

The 31-year-old righty will make his Padres’ debut on Sunday against the Mariners. Over four minor league rehab starts, Giolito posted a 4.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 15/6 K/BB ratio across 17 innings of work. He could wind up carving out some fantasy value in deeper mixed leagues. Alek Jacob was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Blas Castano

COL Relief Pitcher #63

Rockies recalled RHP Blas Castaño from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The 27-year-old right-hander was claimed off of waivers from the Mariners in mid-April. Castaño has been terrific at the Triple-A level this season, posting a 1.10 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and a 12/7 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings. He’ll work in a middle relief role for the Rockies.

Agnos has had a rough time in 13 appearances for the Rockies this season, registering a 5.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 20/10 K/BB ratio over 29 innings of work. Blas Castano was recalled from Triple-A to take his spot in the Rockies’ bullpen.
