Joe Jiménez

ATL Relief Pitcher #77

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Joe Jiménez won’t return from knee surgery prior to the end of the season.

Jiménez underwent knee surgery with an 8-12 month recovery last November. It’s unclear if he’d have a shot of returning were the Braves in contention, but there’s certainly no reason to push him at this point. Jiménez, who had a 2.62 ERA in 68 2/3 innings as a setup man last season, is in the second year of a three-year, $26 million contract.

Kodai Senga (back) will make another rehab start Thursday.

Senga will make his second rehab outing after allowing two runs over 3 1/3 innings for Low-A St. Lucie on Friday. The 33-year-old will likely need another outing in the minors after Thursday before he’s ready to rejoin the Mets’ rotation.

HLs: Angels walk off Rangers after Detmers dazzles

May 24, 2026 11:32 PM

The Angels used Reid Detmers' masterclass, some well-timed offense and a few good breaks to complete their first sweep of the 2026 season in a 2-1 win over their AL West-rival Texas Rangers.

A.J. Minter

NYM Relief Pitcher #33
A.J. Minter (lat) is expected to be activated off the 60-day injured list before Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

Minter has been unavailable for all of 2026 as he recovers from lat surgery. The 32-year-old may be eased into his role to begin his time with the Mets, bt when healthy, he’s been one of the better left-handed relievers in baseball. In addition to getting Minter back, it’s also expected that Jared Young will also come off the injured list before Tuesday’s tilt with the Reds.

Francisco Alvarez

NYM Catcher #4

Francisco Alvarez (knee) has resumed hitting.

Alvarez is considerably ahead of schedule according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, with Mendoza saying that the backstop is “built different.” Alvarez was expected to be out through the All-Star break, and while fantasy managers shouldn’t make any assumptions, but it sounds like there’s a chance the 24-year-old beats that timeline and gets back in action before the end of June.

Francisco Lindor

NYM Shortstop #12

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Monday that Francisco Lindor (calf) has begun a running program.

Lindor has also resumed baseball activities like fielding grounders and hitting in the cage. The 32-year-old will assuredly need a rehab assignment after missing over a month thus far with his calf strain, but this is the most positive development given for the shortstop since he suffered that injury. If all continues to progress, there’s a good chance that Lindor will be back before the start of July.

Cade Povich

BAL Starting Pitcher #37

Cade Povich will be evaluated to potentially begin a throwing program.

Povich met with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday and received a cortisone injection. The left-hander will likely need to throw a few bullpens and then make rehab starts, but it does appear — for now — that Povich has avoided a season-ending injury.

Cole Ragans

KC Starting Pitcher #55

Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters that Cole Ragans (elbow) “didn’t bounce back well” from his rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Quatraro said that Ragans is feeling the same elbow symptoms that caused him to be placed on the injured list earlier in May. The left-hander pitched well in that outing for Omaha while allowing just a run over 4 1/3 innings, but obviously the elbow trouble means more than those results. He’s going to be shut down from throwing for up to three days, and then the Royals will reevaluate the situation.

Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22
Juan Soto (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Reds.

Soto missed Sunday’s game while feeling under the weather, and the 27-year-old will get another day off Monday. Nick Morabito will patrol left field with Carson Benge operating as the designated hitter while Soto recovers.

Ty Madden

DET Starting Pitcher #36

Ty Madden (forearm) will make a rehab start Monday for Triple-A Toledo.

Madden has been on the shelf since May 16 with a contusion on his right forearm. The 26-year-old is eligible to come off the injured list Sunday, and could be an option for Detroit at some point in June if his rehab start — or starts — go well.

Brycen Mautz

STL Starting Pitcher #52
Brycen Mautz will be available out of the bullpen versus the Brewers on Monday.

Mautz was supposed to start Sunday’s game against the Reds and make his MLB debut, but that game was postponed. The 24-year-old will instead be a bullpen option with Matthew Liberatore getting the nod for Monday’s tilt against the Brew Crew.

Jonny DeLuca

TB Right Fielder #21

An MRI revealed that Jonny DeLuca is dealing with a right Grade 1 hamstring strain.

According to manager Kevin Cash, that will keep DeLuca out 6-8 weeks. The 27-year-old was placed on the IL before Sunday’s game after suffering the hamstring strain during Friday’s game against New York. Assuming no significant setbacks, that puts DeLuca back in Tampa Bay before the end of July.
