Nic Enright (lat) threw a bullpen Saturday.

Enright is going to begin the year on the injured list after suffering a lat strain. The right-hander will be a depth piece for the Cleveland bullpen whenever healthy.

MIL Designated Hitter #22

Christian Yelich is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Dodgers.

The Brewers are being sure to mix in ample off-days for the 34-year-old slugger in an attempt to keep him healthy. Jake Bauers will function as the team’s designated hitter and will bat cleanup against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon.

Luis Castillo

SEA Starting Pitcher #58
Mariners’ manager Dan Wilson announced that Luis Castillo will start for the Mariners on Monday against the Athletics.

Bryce Miller will work behind him in a piggyback role. It’s the reverse of what we saw the last time these two took the mound, where Miller started against the White Sox on Tuesday and Castillo followed with another miserable outing to blow his lead. Miller is the only one out of the duo that should be utilized for fantasy purposes.

Coby Mayo

BAL 3rd Baseman #16
Coby Mayo was a late scratch from the Orioles’ lineup for the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Tigers due to low back discomfort.

It’s unclear whether or not Mayo will be available off the bench or in the nightcap on Sunday. Weston Wilson will start in his place at third base and will bat sixth against Tigers’ southpaw Framber Valdez on Sunday afternoon.

Yordan Alvarez

HOU Designated Hitter #44

Yordan Alvarez (back) was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Cubs.

It should be noted that the Astros planned to give Alvarez a day off on Sunday, even before he exited Saturday’s game due to discomfort in his back. Fantasy managers should be sure to have a contingency option in place for next week though in the event that the oft-injured slugger is forced to miss a couple of games.

Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

Juan Soto was held out of the Mets’ starting lineup on Sunday afternoon due to illness.

The hot-hitting outfielder was feeling a bit under the weather on Sunday morning so the Mets decided to give him the day off to recover. It’s still possible that he could be used in a key spot off the bench later in the game if he’s up for it. Tyrone Taylor will start in his place in left field and bat eighth for the Mets against Tyler Phillips and the Marlins.

Carlos Rodriguez

MIL Relief Pitcher #27

Brewers recalled RHP Carlos Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville.

Rodriguez will return to add a fresh arm to the Brewers’ bullpen for at least a couple of days until Brandon Woodruff is ready to rejoin the club’s rotation. The 24-year-old hurler has posted a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 5/0 K/BB ratio across four innings in two appearances with the Brewers this season.

Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Brewers optioned LHP Robert Gasser to Triple-A Nashville.

Gasser pitched decently in his final start with the Brewers on Saturday, giving up four runs over 4 1/3 innings against the Dodgers. With Brandon Woodruff nearing a return from the injured list, Gasser will head back to the rotation at Triple-A Nashville were he’ll remain until his services are needed once more.

Nick Anderson

ATH Relief Pitcher #61

Nick Anderson has announced his retirement from professional baseball.

The 35-year-old hurler had been pitching very well at Triple-A Las Vegas for the A’s, posting a 2.16 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 16/5 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings. If this is indeed the end for Anderson, he finishes his big league career with a 3.43 ERA and 10 saves over 173 innings in six seasons between the Marlins, Rays, Braves, Royals and Rockies. Best of luck to the right-hander in his future endeavors.

Matt Svanson

STL Relief Pitcher #49

Cardinals optioned RHP Matt Svanson to Triple-A Memphis.

The Cardinals needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the arrival of Brycen Mautz on Sunday and it looks like Svanson was the odd man out this time around. The 27-year-old right-hander has struggled to an 8.77 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and a 26/15 K/BB ratio over 25 2/3 innings with the Cardinals this season. He’ll see if he can reclaim his form at the Triple-A level.

Peyton Pallette

CLE Relief Pitcher #41

Guardians designated RHP Peyton Pallette for assignment.

Pallette navigated a scoreless inning for the Guardians on Saturday, but did so while issuing three free passes and that appears to have been the final straw. The Rule 5 pick will head back to the White Sox if he passes through waivers unclaimed.
