Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Pete Crow-Armstrong clobbered a two-run home run in the opening inning on Thursday, powering the Cubs to a 7-1 victory over the Nationals in Washington D.C.

The 23-year-old budding superstar opened the scoring with a mammoth 412-foot (104.5 mph EV) two-run blast to center off of Jake Irvin, giving the Cubs an early lead that they would never relinquish. The dynamic 23-year-old outfielder went hitless the remainder of the evening, finishing the night 1-for-5. On the season, he’s now slashing .275/.312/.557 with 16 homers, 53 RBI, 49 runs scored and 21 stolen bases in what has been an unbelievable breakout campaign.

Kenley Jansen

DET Relief Pitcher #74

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tigers activated RHP Kenley Jansen from the 15-day injured list.

The 38-year-old hurler has been shelved for the past couple of weeks due to a groin issue. He should step right back in as the Tigers’ primary closer with Will Vest shifting back to a setup role.

'Fire up' Skubal after quick recovery from injury

June 12, 2026 01:30 PM

Returning from a remarkably quick recovery timeline, Tarik Skubal takes the mound once again this weekend. James Schiano shares what fantasy managers should expect from one of the game's true aces.

Jordan Lawlar

AZ Left Fielder #10

Diamondbacks activated OF Jordan Lawlar off the 60-day injured list.

Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy are both playing almost every day of late, but we’d guess Lawlar’s lineup plans involve going through Troy in left field. Lawlar had hit .333/.400/.556 in 20 plate appearances before fracturing his wrist in April. One of the better prospects in the sport over the past few years, fantasy managers would be wise to keep an eye on Lawlar. The fact that he qualifies at third base in most leagues doesn’t hurt either.

Aramis Garcia

AZ Catcher #66

Diamondbacks designated C Aramis Garcia for assignment.

The 33-year-old will likely return to Triple-A Reno if he clears waivers. Garcia served as an emergency depth piece while James McCann was out. The Diamondbacks appear to think they can get by with Adrian Del Castillo as their backup catcher in the short term.

Steward Berroa

PHI Right Fielder #39

Phillies placed OF Steward Berroa on the paternity list.

Congrats to Berroa on his new job. The Phillies will get by with a different bench outfielder for the time being.

Gabriel Rincones Jr.

PHI Right Fielder #85

Phillies recalled OF Gabriel Rincones Jr. from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rincones has hit just .215/.344/.291 between three Phillies affiliates this year after injuring his knee during the offseason. He was just activated off rehab assignment on May 26. This feels aggressive, and Rincones may only play against left-handers, but the Phillies will see if they can find lightning in a bottle here. Rincones doesn’t need to be a priority fantasy baseball pickup.

Adolis García

PHI Right Fielder #53

Phillies placed OF Adolis García on the 60-day injured list with a right latissimus dorsi tear.

The instant elevation to the 60-day IL means we won’t see García again until the later stages of the season, if at all. He hit .195/.270/.329 with seven homers and three stolen bases for the Phillies in 259 plate appearances. Derek Hill’s acquisition seemed to signal that García was due for an IL stint, but the long-term nature of it means Hill will likely carry his role for most of the rest of the season.

Raynel Delgado

HOU Shortstop #72

Astros selected the contract of INF Raynel Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Delgado hit .250/.320/.362 at Triple-A Durham before being dealt to the Astros a few days ago. He’ll be a bench infielder in the bigs. If he ever does get a real role, the 24 stolen bases he had point to the fact that he could be an interesting one-category fantasy contributor.

Ryan Weiss

HOU Starting Pitcher #51

Astros designated RHP Ryan Weiss for assignment.

Weiss had already been sent down in May after a rough major-league debut, and with a 8.41 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Sugar Land, the Astros are probably safe in believing there’s no interest in him on waivers.

Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet (shoulder/lat) told reporters that he’s getting close to throwing but that he doesn’t expect to be back before the All-Star break.

Crochet added that his lat is better now and he has been focusing on re-strengthening his shoulder, and that he doesn’t know when he might actually start throwing. This update doesn’t do much for the timeline beyond clarifying that it likely won’t be before the All-Star break. The fantasy baseball ace has been out since late April with the initial shoulder injury, but at least it seems like the lat is done interfering with his rehab.

Yariel Rodriguez

TOR Relief Pitcher #29

Blue Jays sent RHP Yariel Rodriguez outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

He cleared waivers — as expected, nobody was touching the remaining $21.3 million of his contract — but may still elect to become a free agent. It’s worth noting he did clear waivers and return to the Jays last offseason. Rodriguez had a 7.71 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 9 1/3 innings pitched with the Jays this year.
