Trevor Williams

WSH Starting Pitcher #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Trevor Williams lost to the Rangers after allowing three runs — two earned — in 4 1/3 innings Sunday.

It’s the fourth time in five starts that Williams has been pulled before completing five innings, but at least his ERA came down from 6.03 to 5.91 today. The Nationals have to be thinking about alternatives to Williams at the back of their rotation, but since they’ve turned Brad Lord into a short reliever, they don’t have anyone who is clearly a better bet right now. Williams is due to face the Marlins next weekend.

Logan Porter

SF Catcher #13

Giants sent C Logan Porter outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

He cleared waivers. The 30-year-old is just a depth piece for the Giants behind the plate, even after the Patrick Bailey trade.

Bet on Alvarez for AL MVP after Judge injury

June 5, 2026 11:45 AM

Drew Dinsick and Vaughn Dalzell discuss what Aaron Judge's rib fracture and subsequent IL stint will mean for the AL MVP race, including why betting on Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez is a great call.

Everson Pereira

CWS Right Fielder #28

White Sox sent Everson Pereira (pectoral) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Charlotte.

Pereira was hitting well — .250/.310/.453 in 71 plate appearances — before being placed on the IL at the end of April. It’s possible he’ll be back in the near future and reclaim a platoon role (or perhaps more) from Derek Hill and Rikuu Nishida in the outfield.

Carson Seymour

SF Starting Pitcher #77

Giants recalled RHP Carson Seymour from Triple-A Sacramento.

Seymour is carrying a 4.04 ERA in nine starts and 11 overall appearances for the River Cats. There’s nothing special here, but Seymour could be a reasonable depth arm and may be asked to eat some innings over the weekend. It’s plausible that he could be cover if Landen Roupp (back) needs an early exit on Saturday.

Wilkin Ramos

SF Relief Pitcher #71

Giants optioned RHP Wilkin Ramos to Triple-A Sacramento.

Ramos allowed five earned runs in two games during his major league debut with the Giants. He heads down for a fresh arm for today’s matinee against the Cubs.

DJ Herz

WSH Starting Pitcher #77

Nationals sent LHP DJ Herz on a rehab assignment to the FCL Nationals.

Herz figures to get a long buildup after just throwing to live hitters for the first time in mid-May. Depending on how it goes, he could be a factor in the second half of the season. Herz, still just 25, had a 4.16 ERA in 88 2/3 innings pitched in 2024 while striking out 106.

Tyler Ferguson

CHC Relief Pitcher #64

Cubs optioned RHP Tyler Ferguson to Triple-A Iowa.

He had only been acquired from the A’s in early May and was only active in the majors for a brief spell here. Ferguson allowed four earned runs in his only appearance in the bigs this year with the Athletics, and has a combined 5.12 ERA in 19 1/3 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas and Iowa, though it has been lower in Iowa at 3.52.

Edward Cabrera

CHC Starting Pitcher #30

Cubs activated RHP Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list.

He’ll get the ball today against the Giants in Wrigley Field matinee. Cabrera had struggled before heading on IL with his blister injury, allowing three or more earned runs in each of his final four starts before his abbreviated exit from May 20’s game against the Brewers with the blister. Still, he’s talented enough to be a worthwhile roll today against the Giants.

Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Hunter Brown (elbow) allowed one run on three hits in 4 1/3 innings for Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday.

He struck out four and walked one while throwing 38 of his 57 pitches for strikes. He touched 98.9 mph during the outing and had 10 whiffs, including five on his four-seam fastball. It’s likely that the right-hander will need one more rehab start before returning in line with his mid-June timeline from weeks ago.

Dylan Cease

TOR Starting Pitcher #84

Dylan Cease (hamstring) allowed five runs on six hits in four innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

The veteran also struck out six and walked one while throwing 50 of his 75 pitches for strikes and hitting 99 mph on the radar gun. The results clearly aren’t great, but Cease had solid command and showed his usual velocity, and those are the main concerns. He should be able to rejoin the Blue Jays rotation next week and be up over 80 pitches in that outing.

Mick Abel

MIN Starting Pitcher #20

Mick Abel (elbow) touched 97 mph on the radar gun during a 37-pitch live batting practice session on Thursday.

The 24-year-old has been sidelined since April 20th with elbow inflammation, but he described his outing on Thursday as “free and easy” and claims his body feels great. While there is no timeline for his return, it seems like he could begin a rehab assignment next week and potentially return to the Twins’ rotation before the end of June.
