Zac Veen

COL Left Fielder #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zac Veen walloped a game-winning 468-foot solo home run on Monday, lifting the Rockies to a 5-4 walk-off win over the White Sox in Cactus League action.

Veen showed up to camp looking physically transformed, and the added strength announced itself loudly with this staggering 468-foot missile, per Statcast. The 24-year-old former top prospect flopped in his first shot with the Rockies last season but he would be in line for a significant role if someone like Mickey Moniak, Jordan Beck or Jake McCarthy gets off to an ice-cold start to the year.

Astros activated INF Jose Altuve from the 10-day injured list.

The 36-year-old makes his triumphant return to the Astros’ lineup on Friday after missing several weeks due to a strained oblique. On the season, he has slashed .245/.326/.380 with four homers, 12 RBI and just one stolen base through his first 185 plate appearances. He’s starting at second base and batting fifth for the Astros on Friday evening against the Athletics.

Cody Freeman

TEX 3rd Baseman #39

Rangers optioned INF Cody Freeman to Triple-A Round Rock.

Freeman was with the big league club for a couple of days while Sam Haggerty was on bereavement leave, but with Corey Seager returning from the injured list on Friday he became the odd man out. Freeman was 1-for-2 with a strikeout in his limited action with the Rangers this time around.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5

Rangers activated SS Corey Seager from the 10-day injured list.

As anticipated, Seager rejoins the Rangers for Friday’s series opener against the Guardians. The 32-year-old infielder had been sidelined since May 18 due to inflammation in his back. He returns to a miserable .179/.286/.353 slash line with seven homers and 20 RBI through his first 182 plate apperances.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Rangers activated OF Wyatt Langford from the 10-day injured list.

The dynamic 24-year-old outfielder had been shelved since late April due to a forearm strain. Before landing on the injured list, Langford was hitting just .238/.274/.363 with one homer, four RBI, three stolen bases and a 19/4 K/BB ratio across 84 plate appearances in his first 20 games.

Sam Haggerty

TEX Left Fielder #0

Rangers activated OF Sam Haggery from the bereavement list; designated him for assignment.

Haggerty returns from bereavement leave only to lose his spot on the Rangers’ 40-man roster following the return of Wyatt Langford. It’s possible that the versatile 32-year-old could slide through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra depth for the Rangers at Triple-A Round Rock.

Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Red Sox transferred Garrett Crochet (shoulder, lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Crochet has been on IL since April 29, so while there wasn’t a formal timetable on his return after a setback with a lat injury, he’ll be down until at least the end of June. A return after the All-Star break would be a sensible estimate for Crochet.

Joe La Sorsa

BOS Relief Pitcher #66

Red Sox selected the contract of LHP Joe La Sorsa from Triple-A Worcester.

This was fait accompli after La Sorsa exercised his upward mobility clause, leading the Red Sox to acquire him from Pittsburgh. La Sorsa had a 3.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 22/6 K/BB ratio at Triple-A Indianapolis. He’ll try to work his way into the circle of trust in Boston’s bullpen.

Brayan Bello

BOS Starting Pitcher #66

Red Sox optioned RHP Brayan Bello to Triple-A Worcester.

They’ll try to get to the root of the problem that Bello has with starting games as opposed to coming in after an opener. And probably other things, one imagine. Fantasy managers in all but the deepest leagues can likely cut ties with Bello at this point.

Spencer Jones

NYY Right Fielder #78

Spencer Jones is batting sixth for the Yankees against the Red Sox on Friday.

Thus ends the José Caballero in right field era. Caballero is has been sat on the bench today with Anthony Volpe starting at shortstop for the fifth time in six games.

Chad Dallas

TOR Starting Pitcher #73

Blue Jays optioned RHP Chad Dallas to Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas performed well in his bulk role win on Thursday, but the Blue Jays went with the fresh arm of Simeon Woods Richardson after acquiring him from the Twins yesterday. It’s unclear how Woods Richardson’s addition will impact the odds of Dallas getting another bulk shot, but he looked good enough that he should remain on the Jays’ radar going forward.
