Dylan File

DET Starting Pitcher #76

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tigers signed RHP Dylan File to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

File had been in Korea in 2024 before signing a minor league deal to return to the States and play in the Mariners organization. Last year, he had a 4.74 ERA in 125.1 innings across 27 games at Double-A. He’s simply organizational depth.

Petey Halpin

CLE Center Fielder #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Guardians recalled OF Petey Halpin from Triple-A Columbus.

He’ll replace George Valera on the Guardians’ bench after Valera was optioned back to Triple-A following Thursday’s contest. Halpin, a defensive replacement and pinch-runner extraordinaire, saw just eight plate appearances in six games with the Guardians during the 2025 campaign.

Carlos Carrasco

ATL Starting Pitcher #59

Braves sent RHP Carlos Carrasco outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

As expected, the 39-year-old hurler passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra rotation depth for the Braves at the Triple-A level. Carrasco has made just one appearance for the Braves this season, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

Joey Lucchesi

LAA Relief Pitcher #67

Angels sent LHP Joey Lucchesi outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

The 32-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment on Wednesday after a disastrous outing. For now it appears as though he’ll accept the assignment and head to Triple-A Salt Lake where he’ll continue to operate as extra pitching depth for the Halos.

Lou Trivino

FA Relief Pitcher #57

Lou Trivino has elected free agency.

The 34-year-old right-hander exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Phillies and is now free to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Trivino had done a nice job in 10 appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, posting a 2.77 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 20/4 K/BB ratio across 13 innings. Given the lack of quality bullpen depth around the league, he shouldn’t be out of work for long.

Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27
Phillies’ interim manager Don Mattingly told reporters on Friday that Aaron Nola’s next start will be pushed back until Monday.

Nola had been lined up to start on Sunday, but they’ll go with Jesus Luzardo there on regular rest. Mattingly wanted to break up the lefties in his rotation, giving a day in-between Luzardo and Cristopher Sanchez. That means Nola will now be scheduled to make two starts next week, though he misses a prime matchup against the Marlins in Miami.

Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Michael Harris II (quad) is not in the Braves’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s soiree against the Rockies.

It could just be due to the fact that the Braves are facing a left-hander in Jose Quintana, but he’s not exactly the type of feared southpaw that you sit your strong left-handed hitters against. It’s encouraging that he hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet, but it sounds like it could be a while before he’s able to return to his post in center field and will be limited to designated hitter duties until then.

Albert Suárez

BAL Relief Pitcher #49

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

The 36-year-old hurler re-signed with the Orioles on a minor league deal on Wednesday after he had briefly explored the free agent market. He has done a nice job so far this season for the O’s, posting a 3.46 ERA over 13 innings in his five appearances. With Ryan Helsley (elbow) heading to the injured list and roles shifting around, Suárez should have an opportunity to stick around this time.

Ryan Helsley

BAL Relief Pitcher #21

Orioles placed RHP Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 29, with right elbow inflammation.

The closer madness continues. Helsley had been one of the top performers in the league at the position, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 15/7 K/BB ratio over his first 10 2/3 innings while converting each of his first seven save chances. No word yet on the severity of the injury or on how long the Orioles expect their closer to be shelved for. Albert Suarez was promoted from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move on Friday.

Connor Norby

MIA 1st Baseman #1
Connor Norby is not in the Marlins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s matchup against the Phillies.

Norby has been struggling at the plate lately, so giving him a night off to clear his head isn’t the worst idea. It’s also beneficial that he won’t have to face Zack Wheeler. Christopher Morel will start in his place at first base and will bat eighth for the Marlins on Friday evening.

Tatsuya Imai

HOU Starting Pitcher #45

Tatsuya Imai will make his next minor league rehab start on either Tuesday or Wednesday at Double-A Corpus Christi.

Astros’ manager Joe Espada spoke to the 27-year-old hurler on Thursday and noted that he felt good coming out of his last rehab starts despite the poor results on the field. It sounds like we’re still probably at least a week away from Imai potentially rejoining the Astros’ rotation.
