Jack Perkins

ATH Relief Pitcher #50

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jack Perkins gave up two runs over five innings on Thursday in a win over the Twins.

Perkins wasn’t dominant, but he did enough to qualify for his third win of the season after being staked to a six-run advantage by the third inning. He struggled a bit with his control, handing out four free passes, and only notched a pair of strikeouts. The unheralded 25-year-old rookie boasts a solid 4.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 37/18 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings (12 appearances, four starts). He’ll face an imposing Tigers lineup on Wednesday in his next outing.

Jonny DeLuca

TB Right Fielder #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

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.

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.

Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Monday that the team is monitoring Logan Henderson’s back tightness.

Henderson went five scoreless innings while striking out seven in a win over the Dodgers on Friday, but he didn’t exit that outing unscatched. The 24-year-old is scheduled to face the Cardinals on Wednesday, but Murphy suggests that may not be in the cards, no pun intended. Fantasy managers who are looking to use Henderson for that outing will want to stay tuned for updates.

Tristan Gray

MIN 3rd Baseman #4

Twins activated OF Tristan Gray off the paternity list.

Gray was away from the team for the weekend while helping take care of something bigger than baseball. The 30-year-old is up with Gabriel Gonzalez heading back to Triple-A St. Paul to make room.

Gabriel Gonzalez

MIN Right Fielder #72

Twins optioned OF Gabriel Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul.

Gonzalez, 22, gets sent back down as expected with Tristan Gray back from paternity leave. The outfielder will likely get another chance with Minnesota before the campaign comes to a close, and has some long-term fantasy upside.

Rikuu Nishida

CWS 2nd Baseman

White Sox selected the contract of INF/OF Rikuu Nishida.

Nishida gets the promotion after impressing in Charlotte with a .342/449/.392 slash over 32 games in Triple-A. The 25-year-old is a versatile player capable of playing all three outfield spots and the middle infield, but the lack of power makes him a tough sell from a fantasy perspective.

Jarred Kelenic

CWS Right Fielder #24

White Sox designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment.

Kelenic is not all that long removed from being considered among the top prospects in baseball, but to say it hasn’t worked out — with the exception of about half a season with Seattle — is an understatement. The 26-year-old will hit the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he can report back to Triple-A Charlotte or test free agency.

Albert Suárez

BAL Relief Pitcher #49
Orioles designated RHP Albert Suárez for assignment.

It was assumed that 27th man Grant Wolfram would be returned to Triple-A after Sunday’s doubleheader, but he’ll stick around and Suárez will go back on waivers for the third time this season. Suárez pitched four scoreless innings today, giving him a 2.75 ERA in 19 2/3 innings over the course of seven relief appearances.

Foster Griffin

WSH Starting Pitcher #22

Foster Griffin earned the win on Sunday in Atlanta, tossing six scoreless while striking out six.

Griffin allowed three hits and one walk, lowering his ERA to 3.63 on the year. He began the season on an unsustainable pace before allowing 14 earned runs in his past two starts. Then he blanked one of baseball’s best offenses in their own park. Griffin’s ERA is now right in line with his 3.75 xFIP, and he next lines up for a home start versus the Padres.

Martín Pérez

ATL Starting Pitcher #33

Martín Pérez took the loss on Sunday against the Nationals, allowing one earned run on five hits over 5 2/3 innings.

Pérez struck out two and walked two. His top-prospect days are well behind him at 35 years old, but he’s managed to carve out quite the sustainable career following some early struggles. The soft-tossing southpaw will be a difficult start in Cincinnati next time out.

James Wood

WSH Right Fielder #29

James Wood went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored, and a stolen base as the Nationals defeated the Braves on Sunday.

The theft was his eighth of the season. While Wood’s stolen-base attempt rate is slightly below last year, he’s making up for it with extra times on base. He’s also been more efficient on the base paths. He’s currently 8-for-9 after going 15-for-22 last year. He’s becoming a true fantasy superstar in his age-23 campaign.
