Mike Yastrzemski

FA Right Fielder #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that Atlanta has signed OF Mike Yastrzemski to a two-year, $23 million contract.

The deal also contains a club option for 2028, according to Passan. Yastrzemski spent 2025 with the Royals and Giants and hit 17 homers while stealing seven bases in 146 games with the two clubs. The 35-year-old will likely be in the lineup against right-handed pitching, and doesn’t project to be much more than a bench piece in fantasy lineups outside of NL-only formats.

Tyler Freeman

COL Right Fielder #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Rockies activated OF Tyler Freeman (back) from the 10-day injured list.

It was expected that Freeman would start the season as a short-side platoon with either Jordan Beck or Mickey Moniak. Now, Moniak (finger) is also on the injured list, so there is a chance that Freeman could push Beck for playing time in the outfield or perhaps hit well enough to push Edouard Julien out of the DH spot.

Messick's start vs. LAD puts him on fantasy radars

March 31, 2026 02:18 PM

After Parker Messick spun six scoreless innings against the Dodgers' ferocious lineup, Eric Samulski says fantasy managers should be "buying into" the Guardians starting pitcher.

Lucas Sims

CWS Relief Pitcher #39

White Sox selected the contract of RHP Lucas Sims from Triple-A Charlotte.

Sims has thrown one scoreless inning in Triple-A this season, but the White Sox will bring the veteran up to have a spot in their bullpen. He struggled last season in Washington and has not been a high-impact reliever for a few years now.

Jedixson Paez

CWS Starting Pitcher #63

White Sox designated RHP Jedixson Paez for assignment.

This is a rough break for Paez. The 22-year-old had never pitched above High-A but was selected by the White Sox in the Rule 5 draft, so they had to keep him on the MLB roster or give him back to the Red Sox. He lasted a week on the roster and will now be available to other teams on waivers. He is likely to pass through and be free to join any organization.

Jordan Westburg

BAL 3rd Baseman #11

Orioles transferred 3B Jordan Westburg (elbow) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

The Orioles needed a spot on the 40-man roster for Albert Suarez to move into the rotation, so they transferred Westburg. While nothing has materially changed with Westburg’s recovery from a UCL injury, this does mean he can’t return before May 21st at the earliest.

Albert Suarez

BAL Starting Pitcher #49

Orioles selected the contract of RHP Albert Suárez from Triple-A Norfolk.

With Zach Eflin going on the injured list, it will be Suárez who is added to the 40-man roster to take his place in the rotation. Suárez pitched just 11 2/3 MLB innings for the Orioles last season with a 2.31 ERA. He has no minor league options remaining, so if the Orioles decide to move Suárez out of the rotation, they will need to designate him for assignment.

Zach Eflin

BAL Starting Pitcher #24
Orioles placed RHP Zach Eflin on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort.

The 31-year-old left last night’s game in the fourth inning. As of now, we have no further information on the extent of the injury, and the Orioles are awaiting imaging results. However, fantasy managers should expect a long absence, which is a bummer for a pitcher who seemed primed to have a bounce-back season. Albert Suarez was called up to take Eflin’s place in the rotation.

Nick Kurtz

ATH 1st Baseman #16
Nick Kurtz is not in the starting lineup for the Athletics on Wednesday against the Braves.

It’s just a routine day off with a day game after a night game, but it will come with Chris Sale on the mound, which isn’t a terrible thing. Lawrence Butler will also get a day off, although his is a bit more platoon-based. Andy Ibanez will start at first base, and Austin Wynns will enter the lineup at catcher with Shea Langeliers moving to DH.

Jordan Walker

STL Right Fielder #18
Jordan Walker is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Mets.

Walker is off to a solid start, going 5-for-17 with one home run, six runs scored, and three RBI. This is just a routine day off with Thomas Saggese entering the lineup in left field and Nathan Church switching over to right field.

It’s just a routine day off for the veteran with a day game after a night game. Nathaniel Lowe will start in his place at designated hitter and draws a tough assignment with Paul Skenes pitching for the Pirates.

Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and a walk in the Dodgers’ 4-1 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

Muncy drew a walk in the second inning, then took Kolby Allard deep for a solo homer in the sixth, a 410-foot blast at 108.1 mph off the bat. He added a base hit in the eighth and scored a second run, reaching for the third time in the contest. The 35-year-old slugger is a safe bet for power in a potent lineup as long as he can avoid the injured list.
