Ali Sanchez

FA Catcher #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Red Sox C Ali Sánchez elected free agency.

Sánchez officially heads to the open market with Boston’s playoff run in the books. The 28-year-old backstop went 0-for-2 at the dish in four games for the Red Sox during the regular season. He still has a chance to get a World Series ring with Toronto still alive in the postseason. He got into eight contests for the Blue Jays earlier this season.

Ryan Bergert

KC Starting Pitcher #38

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ryan Bergert left Tuesday’s start with Triple-A Omaha with an injury.

There is no word yet on what injury Bergert suffered or how severe it is. However, we do know that he walked off the mound with trainers in the third inning. With Cole Ragans (hand) getting hurt on Wednesday, Bergert would have been a natural choice to replace him in the rotation, but we’re going to need to wait on more injury news to see if that’s likely or not.

Ray's refined arsenal producing impressive results

April 8, 2026 02:12 PM

Eric Samulski explores what's behind Robbie Ray's strong early returns and how he has generated more swings and misses, imploring fantasy managers to "roll" with the veteran arm as long as he's cruising.

Miguel Andujar

SD Left Fielder #41

Miguel Andújar went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and a stolen base in an 8-2 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Andújar is now slashing .310/.375/.448 to start the season. He’s taking a more pull-centric approach this season and has changed his swing path a bit. The results have slowly started to come, as Andújar has gone 7-for-17 in his last five games. He plays most days in San Diego and has multi-position eligibility, so he’s a worthwhile add in deeper fantasy leagues.

Nick Yorke

PIT 2nd Baseman #38

Nick Yorke went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in a loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

Yorke has now gone 8-for-21 (.381) to start the season with two doubles, two RBI, and a 4/4 K/BB ratio. The 24-year-old doesn’t have much power or speed, but he can play first base, second base, third base, and corner outfield, which should enable him to play a super utility role in Pittsburgh.

Michael King

SD Starting Pitcher #34

Michael King allowed two runs on four hits in six innings in a win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

It was a weird outing for King, whose velocity was down a bit across the board. He threw a lot of changeups inside to lefties and sinkers away to righties and had just a 15 percent whiff rate while striking out four and walking three. The command just didn’t seem sharp here, but he was able to keep the Pirates off the barrel of the bat and produce a quality start. He can still be trusted next week at home against the Mariners.

Mitch Keller

PIT Starting Pitcher #23

Mitch Keller threw six shutout innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Wednesday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out four.

Keller threw 73 percent first pitch strikes and also registered a 29 percent whiff rate. He went sweeper-heavy in this one, throwing 31 percent sweepers and registering a 40 percent whiff rate on it. Keller’s four-seamer has a bit more vertical movement on it this year, and his velocity increased a bit as the game went on. He’s unlikely to keep pitching as well as he has been, but he seems likely to keep it going next week against the Nationals.

Gabriel Arias

CLE Shortstop #13
Gabriel Arias will be sidelined up to two months with a hamstring strain.

Arias left Monday’s game with the injury and was put on the injured list on Tuesday. The Guardians updated his timeline on Wednesday after further evaluation, and it will be a long absence for the 26-year-old. Juan Brito will continue to start in the middle infield in Arias’ place.

Johan Oviedo

BOS Starting Pitcher #29

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Johan Oviedo has a flexor strain and will be shut down for six weeks from throwing.

As of now, the Red Sox are hoping that rest will “calm down” the inflammation, but there remains a chance that Oviedo will eventually have to undergo surgery. We should have more clarity by the end of May.

Robert Stephenson

LAA Relief Pitcher #24

Robert Stephenson had ligament and flexor repair surgery and is out for the season.

Stephenson had already been on the 60-day IL, but now we know he did, in fact, undergo surgery. It’s been an unfortunate series of events for Stephenson since he had a breakout with the Rays in the second half of the 2023 season. He has pitched just 10 innings since then.

Steward Berroa

PHI Right Fielder #35

Phillies acquired OF Steward Berroa from the Brewers for cash considerations.

Berroa was designated for assignment by the Brewers last week, so the Phillies will acquire him to give them another potential outfielder who can start against left-handed pitching. Berroa hit .236/.348/.314 with 34 steals in the minors for the Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Brewers last year. He will start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Carlos Correa

HOU 3rd Baseman #1

Carlos Correa is out of the lineup for a second straight game Wednesday due to an illness.

It sounded like it was just a day off when he sat Tuesday, but the Astros had to come clean upon holding him out for a second straight game. Correa’s absence keeps Yordan Alvarez in the DH spot, opening up left field for Joey Loperfido.
