César Salazar

HOU Catcher #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cesar Salazar had a grand slam and an RBI single in the Astros’ 8-5 victory over the Marlins on Thursday.

Salazar is 7-for-19 with two homers and eight RBI this spring. The 28-year-old ought to be some team’s No. 2 catcher, but he’s stuck behind Yainer Díaz and Victor Caratini in Houston, and it’s doubtful the Astros will carry three catchers initially. He’ll probably be stuck in Triple-A again, since the Astros value the depth too much to just give him away.

Lenyn Sosa

TOR 2nd Baseman #50

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Blue Jays placed INF Lenyn Sosa on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist contusion.

Sosa will give way to Charles McAdoo on the active roster, though playing time may be sparse enough that there’s little reason to pick up McAdoo. Sosa did not play Wednesday after apparently suffering the injury on Tuesday. He was hitting .188/.205/.275 since being picked up by the Jays for Jordan Rich on April 13.

Bazzana thriving as Guardians' leadoff hitter

May 28, 2026 01:47 PM

Travis Bazzana is "making a name for himself" since being called up by the Guardians, with James Schiano sharing how the youngster's elite on-base skills should remain consistent even if his red-hot hitting dips.

Lazaro Estrada

TOR Relief Pitcher #60

Blue Jays transferred Lazaro Estrada from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

It frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for INF Charles McAdoo. Estrada was placed on the injured list on April 18, retroactive to April 5, so his potential return timeline isn’t altered much by this. He’ll be eligible to come off the injured list in early June.

Chase Lee

TOR Relief Pitcher #52

Blue Jays optioned RHP Chase Lee to Triple-A Buffalo.

Lee has an 8.10 ERA in three appearance for the Jays, walking four and striking out just one. He figures to be part of the bullpen shuttle between Buffalo and Toronto for most of the season. Lee does hold a 1.83 ERA in 19 2/3 innings at Buffalo, so he’s shown well there despite not pitching well at the highest level just yet.

Ha-Seong Kim

ATL Shortstop #7
Ha-Seong Kim is not in Atlanta’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Red Sox.

It looks to be a routine day off for Kim against Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle. Kim has struggled mightily since returning from his torn finger tendon, hitting just .095/.191/.095 in 12 games for the Braves so far. Jorge Mateo is manning shortstop today in his absence.

Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Twins scratched Kendry Rojas from today’s start against the White Sox with posterior elbow soreness.

Elbow soreness is never something we want to see, of course. More tests are likely incoming, and we’ll have better information after the Twins provide an official update. Rojas had looked promising in the early going with a 1.26 ERA in 14 1/3 innings pitched, albeit with 10 walks over that span.

Simeon Woods Richardson

MIN Starting Pitcher #24

Simeon Woods Richardson will start Thursday’s game against the White Sox.

Kendry Rojas was scratched with an injury ahead of the game. Obviously, with a 7.20 ERA and 0-6 record, there’s little reason for fantasy managers to give Woods Richardson a chance until we see better work.

Drew Sommers

DET Starting Pitcher #51

Tigers recalled LHP Drew Sommers from Triple-A Toledo.

Sommers hasn’t had a stint in the bigs yet this year, though he did serve as the 27th man in a doubleheader over the weekend. Sommers holds a 3.00 ERA in 21 innings with Toledo, striking out 35 in just 21 innings while walking 11. He doesn’t figure to initially be part of the holds or saves conversation, but if he keeps striking out batters like that at the big league level, it’s on the table.

Kenley Jansen

DET Relief Pitcher #74
Tigers placed RHP Kenley Jansen on the 15-day injured list with pelvic inflammation.

Kyle Finnegan and Will Vest would appear to be the options to replace Jansen, with Finnegan the vastly preferred one since he’s pitching much better at the moment. It wouldn’t be surprising if this became a committee while Jansen is out. There’s no word yet on how long we should expect Jansen to miss, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this injury knocked him out longer than the minimum stay on the injured list.

Albert Suárez

FA Relief Pitcher #49
RHP Albert Suárez elected free agency.

The Orioles have already brought him back from free agency to the bigs once this year in what has become an increasingly common tactic with older pitchers like Suárez and Martín Pérez. We would not be surprised if that happens again. For the moment, Suárez is a free agent.

Nolan Schanuel

LAA 1st Baseman #18

Nolan Schanuel said he’s dealing with ankle tendinitis and is not sure how long he’ll be out yet.

Schanuel was placed on the injured list yesterday after leaving Saturday’s game with an aggravation to the injury. He has been dealing with it since early April, per his own account. We’ll see how Schanuel’s ankle recovers with rest — it sure seems like if he was playing through it earlier, it could eventually get to the point where he can play with it again — but he remains without a timetable.
