Passan adds that the deal includes an opt-out following the 2025 season and a $24 million player option for 2026. New York badly needed this one after the two sides remained locked in a prolonged offseason standoff. Alonso’s return to the Big Apple seemed inevitable, especially when the rest of the cold corner dominoes began to fall, leaving few alternative landing spots. The 30-year-old slugger has launched at least 34 round-trippers in each of the previous five full seasons dating back to 2019 and finds himself in the absolute perfect spot from a fantasy standpoint. He’ll benefit tremendously from batting cleanup behind generational talents Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto in a loaded Mets lineup that also includes Mark Vientos blossoming into a middle-of-the-order force. He’s one of the safest four-category, run-producing stalwarts in the fantasy landscape and returning to New York further cements his early-round status in drafts this spring.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 24-year-old hurler, who still has yet to resume throwing, this was done as a procedural move to clear a spot on the club’s 40-man roster for Sean Sullivan. There’s still no clear timeline for when Dollander may be able to return.

The Rockies needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the arrival of Sean Sullivan on Friday and unfortunately Peralta drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old southpaw holds a 10.13 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 2 2/3 innings with the Rockies this season.

The 23-year-old hurler will start for the Rockies on Friday night against the Athletics in West Sacramento in what will be his MLB debut. Sullivan made 11 starts at the Triple-A level this season, posting an unsightly 5.60 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and a 50/19 K/BB ratio over 54 2/3 innings. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Yankees’ skipper Aaron Boone told reporters on Friday that Fried had recent imaging done that showed increased healing in his balky pitching elbow. It’s still going to be a slow progression for the 32-year-old southpaw as he ramps back up, but the fact that he’s getting on the mound again is obviously an encouraging sign.

Yoho was just optioned out on Monday, but he’ll rejoin the Brewers’ bullpen with Coleman Crow (forearm) landing on the 15-day injured list. Yoho has dominated at the minor league level this season and has posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 5/2 K/BB ratio over three innings of work with the Brewers this season.

That certainly doesn’t sound good, as forearm flexor strains are often precursors to elbow issues. No word yet on the severity of the issue or how long the Brewers expect the 25-year-old hurler to be sidelined for. Craig Yoho was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move on Friday.

Adames was held out of Wednesday’s contest due to discomfort in his lower half. It sounds like he’s much improved after a couple of days off though. The 30-year-old shortstop will bat sixth against Cubs’ right-hander Javier Assad on Friday evening in San Francisco.

McCarthy was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to illness and still isn’t well enough to return to action. Sterlin Thompson will once again start in his place in left field and will bat eighth for the Rockies on Friday evening against Gage Jump and the Athletics.

Senga looked sharp in his latest outing on Thursday, allowing just one run on one hit over six innings at Double-A Binghampton. He got up to 75 pitches in that one, so expect him to be around 90 offerings his next time out.

Wilson was designated for assignment on Saturday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He then refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. The versatile 31-year-old is now free to explore options on the open market.
