Sawyer Gipson-Long

DET Starting Pitcher #66

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sawyer Gipson-Long will be activated from the injured list to start on Wednesday against the White Sox.

It’s official. Gipson-Long will join Detroit’s rotation to take the ball on Wednesday against Chicago. The 27-year-old righty showed some promise back in 2023 when he broke into the majors and represents a bit of a wild card at this point after missing last year recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s a worthwhile lottery ticket for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues

Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Max Muncy is out of the lineup Saturday against Phillies left-hander Jesús Luzardo.

Muncy was playing against most lefties before hurting his wrist last weekend, but since he’s probably still not quite 100 percent, this is a good opportunity to rest him after back-to-back starts Thursday and Friday. Santiago Espinal is playing third tonight.

Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9
Zach Neto left Saturday’s game in the seventh inning following a collision at home plate.

Pitcher Ian Seymour fell right on the back of Neto’s head as the shortstop was sliding in and scoring on a wild pitch, and Neto was down for a while afterwards. Oswald Peraza replaced him afterwards. If Neto is forced to the IL, the Angels probably call up Denzer Guzman to play short, unless maybe they’re content with Peraza’s glove there and want to choose Christian Moore instead.

Harrison Bader

SF Center Fielder #9
Giants placed OF Harrison Bader on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis.

It turns out Bader isn’t sitting tonight in favor of Drew Gilbert, even if that might have been deserved. He’ll serve his second IL stint of the season after hitting .170/.198/.358 in 30 games to start his Giants career. It’ll likely be Gilbert in center against righties and Victor Bericoto in right against lefties, with Jung Hoo Lee sliding over, while Bader is out.

Will Brennan

SF Left Fielder #7

Giants recalled OF Will Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento.

Brennan was just sent down Thursday upon Jung Hoo Lee’s activation. As a result of Harrison Bader’s injury, he’s returning as a backup outfielder after having gone 2-for-23 the first time around.

Maikel Garcia

KC 3rd Baseman #11
Maikel Garcia left Saturday’s game in the seventh inning with a strained right hamstring.

Garcia was hurt after turning the corner at second base and running to third on a Vinnie Pasquantino double and appeared to be in a lot of pain. If he lands on the IL, then Nick Loftin will probably take over as the Royals’ primary third baseman for a spell. The Royals have Abraham Toro, Josh Rojas and Brandon Drury all stashed in Triple-A if they want to add some veteran depth.

Braden Shewmake

HOU Shortstop #28

Braden Shewmake left Saturday’s game due to right groin soreness.

Nick Allen replaced him at second base against the Brewers. Shewmake was 0-for-2 with a strikeout before exiting.

Jeff McNeil

ATH 2nd Baseman #22

Jeff McNeil is on the bench Saturday for the first time in 16 games.

McNeil, who is 1-for-19 with thres GIDPs in his last six games, played against Carlos Rodón last night, but he’s sitting against fellow lefty Ryan Weathers tonight. Alika Williams is playing second base in his place.

Angel Martínez

CLE Left Fielder #1

Angel Martínez left Saturday’s game after four innings with left foot inflammation.

Stuart Fairchild replaced him to begin the fifth. Martínez struck out in both of his at-bats against Sonny Gray before departing. He’s probably day-to-day, but if this turns into an IL situation, then CJ Kayfus or George Valera could be recalled.

Luis Severino

ATH Starting Pitcher #40
Athletics placed RHP Luis Severino on the 15-day injured list with a strained right shoulder.

Severino left his start Friday after allowing four unearned runs in an inning against the Yankees. Reliever Michael Kelly is replacing him on the roster for now, but the A’s could turn to Mason Barnett in his rotation spot next week. Jack Perkins might also be an option after being extended to 63 pitches in his last relief appearance.

Michael Kelly

ATH Relief Pitcher #49

Athletics recalled RHP Michael Kelly from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Kelly was supposed to be a key part of the A’s pen, but he was sent down on Apr. 9 after giving up three runs in 4 1/3 innings. He had since posted a 4.91 ERA and a 17/7 K/BB in 14 2/3 innings for Las Vegas.
