Janson Junk

MIA Relief Pitcher #60

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Marlins selected the contract of RHP Jansen Junk from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Junk will head up with Lake Bachar heading down to create some length in the Marlins’ bullpen. It’s unlikely Junk will make starts or see save opportunities with Miami, so fantasy managers have no reason to consider him no matter the league they play in.

Ha-Seong Kim

ATL Shortstop #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Ha-Seong Kim is absent from the Braves’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Red Sox.

The Braves continue to ease the 30-year-old infielder back into full-time action. He’s off to a slow start at the dish, hitting .077 (1-for-13) with a pair of strikeouts through his first four games. Jorge Mateo will start at shortstop and will bat seventh for the Braves on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta.

Mauricio Dubón

ATL Shortstop #14
Mauricio Dubón is not in the Braves’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s contest against the Red Sox.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the versatile 31-year-old. Jose Azocar will draw a start in his place in left field and will bat ninth against Red Sox’ right-hander Brayan Bello on Sunday.

Caleb Durbin

BOS 3rd Baseman #5
Caleb Durbin is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s showdown against the Braves.

It has been a very rough season for the Red Sox’ third baseman, as Durbin has flailed to a hapless .169/.252/.250 slash line with only one home run, 14 RBI and four stolen bases in 152 plate appearances. Nick Sogard will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat ninth against Braves’ right-hander Grant Holmes.

Austin Gomber

ATL Starting Pitcher #76

Braves signed LHP Austin Gomber to a minor league contract.

Gomber made nine appearances (eight starts) for the Rangers at Triple-A Round Rock, posting a horrifying 7.75 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and a 29/14 K/BB ratio across 33 2/3 innings. He’ll add some veteran rotation depth for the Braves.

Aaron Brooks

TB Relief Pitcher #56

Rays sent RHP Aaron Brooks outright to Triple-A Durham.

Brooks, who was designated for assignment on Friday, passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra pitching depth for the Rays at the Triple-A level. He gave up three earned runs in 1/3 of an innings in his lone appearance with the big league club.

Carson Williams

TB Shortstop #7

Rays recalled INF Carson Williams from Triple-A Durham.

Williams has struggled in his limited action with the Rays this season, hitting just .130 (3-for-23) with zero homers, three RBI and a 9/1 K/BB ratio. He’s unlikely to see enough playing time this time around to warrant consideration in mixed leagues.

Jake Fraley

TB Right Fielder #17

Rays placed OF Jake Fraley on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 16, with a hernia.

The 30-year-old outfielder was scratched from the Rays’ lineup on Saturday due to the injury and will be shelved for at least a couple of weeks. As anticipated, Carson Williams was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move to take his place on the Rays’ active roster.

Casey Schmitt

SF Designated Hitter #10

Casey Schmitt finished 4-for-5 with two homers and three RBI Saturday in the Giants’ 6-4 victory against the A’s.

Just when it looked like Schmitt might be in line to lose some playing time with Bryce Eldridge up, he responded with his best game to date this season. The homers off Luis Severino were his seventh and eighth of the year. He entered the night 3-for-24 in his last seven games, but he just hasn’t done anything to signal that he’s about to lose his usefulness in shallow leagues.

Trevor McDonald

SF Starting Pitcher #72

Trevor McDonald picked up a win Saturday after limiting the A’s to one run in 6 2/3 innings.

McDonald gave up 11 hard-hit balls but only five hits, none of which turned into more than doubles. He moved to 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA, which could make things interesting when Logan Webb returns. He doesn’t seem like a particularly good bet going forward, but neither does Aridan Houser nor Tyler Mahle. As things stand now, McDonald should start again next week against the White Sox.

Matt Gage

SF Relief Pitcher #93
Matt Gage protected a two-run lead in the ninth for his first MLB save Saturday against the A’s.

Erik Miller and Caleb Kilian combined to turn a five-run lead into a two-run lead in the eighth, setting up the save chance for Gage in the ninth. Gage wound up retiring all three batters he faced for an easy save in a two-run game. Kilian, Miller and Keaton Winn are probably all still ahead of him in line for saves in San Francisco.
