Nelson had been projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to earn $3.3 million via arbitration, so this seems like an equitable solution for both sides. He was terrific in a swingman role for the Diamondbacks in 2025, registering a 3.39 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 132/41 K/BB ratio over 154 innings in 33 appearances (23 starts). He should be locked into the team’s rotation heading into 2026 and makes for a strong mid-round option for fantasy purposes.

The odds are fairly high that Voth return to Toronto on a new minor league pact after passing through waivers unclaimed over the weekend. The 33-year-old journeyman allowed five runs over 3 1/3 innings during a relief appearances against the Orioles last Friday. He’s merely emergency organizational depth at this stage of his career.

Oswald Peraza is at shortstop for the second straight game in his absence. Neto told reporters that he’s feeling better and hopes to be available off the bench after passing concussion protocol. He added that he’s getting an extra day of rest out of an abundance of caution after experiencing whiplash symptoms following a home-plate collision over the weekend. All signs point to Neto being ready to return for Wednesday’s series finale.

Cease figures to jump back into Toronto’s rotation next week assuming he makes it through Thursday’s tune-up outing without any complications. The 30-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter hit the injured list with a mild left hamstring strain back on May 25. His return comes at a key point for the Blue Jays, who have struggled to cobble together innings during his absence.

Aldegheri has been brought back to the majors to fortify Los Angeles’ bullpen leading into Tuesday’s contest with the Rockies. The 24-year-old southpaw has allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings of work for the Angels this season.

Fermin heads back to the minors after allowing five runs and only recording two outs during Monday’s relief outing against the Rockies. The 24-year-old has posted an inflated 5.40 ERA and 18/13 K/BB ratio across 15 innings for the Angels this season.

It’s a bit unclear how much time Alvarez will need to ramp up after making a speedy recovery from last month’s surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, which was expected to sideline him for roughly 6-8 weeks. It sounds like there’s a chance he’s back in New York’s lineup at some point in early-to-mid June.

Giants manager Tony Vitello downplayed any concern that Roupp would miss his next start after dealing with back tightness during Monday’s implosion against the Brewers where he coughed up eight runs over four innings. There’s plenty of reason to believe that Roupp will rebound if he’s back on track from a physical standpoint this weekend.

Cabrera resumed throwing last week and will get the ball this weekend against San Francisco after missing just over two weeks with a blister issue. The 28-year-old has struggled to a pedestrian 4.00 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 47/20 K/BB ratio across 54 innings over 10 starts to kick off his Cubs debut. He’s immensely talented and is at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats based on his sky-high upside if everything clicks into place.

Perdomo went 0-for-3 during Monday’s series opener at Chase Field, leaving him with a .221 batting average with three homers, 21 RBI and eight steals through 56 games. It’s a noticeable difference from last year’s 20-homer, 100-RBI, 27-steal breakthrough campaign where he also hit .290 across 161 games and delivered first-round fantasy value. The hope for Arizona and fantasy managers is that a mental reset enables Perdomo to get back on track. It’ll be rookie Jose Fernandez at shortstop on Tuesday night against Los Angeles.

There’s a chance Altuve is ready to jump back into Houston’s lineup without needing a minor league rehab assignment. The 36-year-old veteran has made a lightning-quick recovery from an oblique strain that put him on the shelf back in mid-May. Additional clarity on his status should arrive later this week.
