Joe Boyle

ATH Starting Pitcher #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Athletics optioned RHP Joe Boyle to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Two poor starts out of three got Boyle sent to the pen last week, and he walked three and gave up three runs in one-third of an inning in his first relief appearance, leading to his demotion to Triple-A today. He remains one of the organization’s most intriguing arms, but it hasn’t happened for him this year. He has a 7.12 ERA and a 49/36 K/BB in 43 innings in the majors.

Ryan Borucki

SF Relief Pitcher #47

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Giants designated LHP Ryan Borucki for assignment.

The 32-year-old left-hander struggled in 21 appearances with the Giants this season, posting a 4.94 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and a 15/9 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings. Given the overall lack of quality left-handed bullpen options around the league though, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another team take a chance on him on waivers.

May 31, 2026 12:17 PM

John Fanta catches up with veteran first baseman Pete Alonso, where the Orioles' slugger unpacks Saturday's dramatic walk-off win, his improved numbers in May, and Baltimore's talent that "jumps off the page."

Jonah Cox

SF Center Fielder

Giants selected the contract of OF Jonah Cox from Double-A Richmond.

It’s not often that you see players make the jump right from Double-A to the big leagues, but Cox was lighting the world on fire there — slashing .400/.453/.644 with six homers, 35 RBI and 27 stolen bases — so they’ll see if any of that can carry over and help out a struggling Giants’ offense. If he somehow finds himself in an everyday role, his speed makes him an intriguing deep league addition from a fantasy perspective.

Will Brennan

SF Left Fielder #7

Giants optioned OF Will Brennan to Triple-A Sacramento.

Brennan’s stay with the big league club lasted just one game this time around, as he heads back to Triple-A Sacramento for the third time this month. Jonah Cox was promoted from Double-A Richmond in a corresponding move on Sunday to take his place on the Giants’ active roster.

Josh White

MIA Starting Pitcher #59

Marlins recalled RHP Josh White from Triple-A Jacksonville.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old hurler and is certainly well deserved after two years of dominating batters at the Triple-A level. In 17 appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville this season he holds a minuscule 1.33 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 28/15 K/BB ratio across 27 innings of work. Expect him to be used in a middle relief role initially for the Marlins.

Janson Junk

MIA Starting Pitcher #26

Marlins placed RHP Janson Junk on the 15-day injured list with right shin inflammation.

Junk suffered the injury when he was hit by a comebacker during Monday’s start against the Blue Jays. The Marlins had been hopeful that he would be able to make his scheduled start on Sunday, but Junk did not improve at all throughout the week, so they’ll sit him down for a bit to make sure that it heals properly. John King will start a bullpen game for the Marlins on Sunday.

Mike Paredes

MIN Starting Pitcher

Twins selected the contract of RHP Mike Paredes from Triple-A St. Paul.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old right-hander. Paredes had been pitching well at the Triple-A level, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 33/8 K/BB ratio over 34 2/3 innings in nine appearances (seven starts). It’s unclear if he’ll be utilized as a long man out of the Twins’ bullpen or if he’ll help cover for the injuries that the Twins are dealing with in their rotation.

John Klein

MIN Relief Pitcher #71

Twins optioned RHP John Klein to Triple-A St. Paul.

Klein was with the Twins for just one game this time around, issuing three walks and a hit while navigating a pair of scoreless innings on Saturday. He’ll bide his time at the Triple-A level until another need arises in the Twins’ bullpen.

Travis Adams

MIN Starting Pitcher #45

Twins recalled RHP Travis Adams from Triple-A St. Paul.

Adams was just optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, but he’ll get to return with Bailey Ober (elbow) landing on the injured list. The 26-year-old hurler has struggled to an 8.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and an 11/9 K/BB ratio across nine innings with the Twins this season.

Bailey Ober

MIN Starting Pitcher #17

Twins placed RHP Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

Ober was pounded for eight runs (seven earned) over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Pirates on Sunday and it sounds like the elbow issue may have played a role in his struggles. No word from the team yet on how long they expect him to be sidelined for. Travis Adams was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #3

Ceddanne Rafaela was scratched from the Red Sox’ starting lineup due to soreness in his lower back.

He sustained the injury while attempting to make a diving catch in the outfield. It’s not believed to be a major issue, but Red Sox’ skipper Chad Tracy wanted to utilize Monday’s off day to get him off his feet for a couple of days. Expect him to return to action on Tuesday.
