Yanquiel Fernandez

NYY Right Fielder #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Yanquiel Fernandez had an RBI double off the bench Sunday in the Yankees’ 5-3 win over the Phillies.

His two at-bats off the bench today both produced 103-mph balls in play. Yanquiel the Yankee is fun, though it probably wasn’t the best thing for his career that he cleared waivers with the Bombers. The former Rockies prospect figures to start off behind both Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones on the Triple-A depth chart.

Sergio Alcantara

FA Shortstop #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Phillies released SS Sergio Alcántara.

Alcántara was jettisoned by the Phillies after slashing .223/.389/.348 with two homers and four steals in 35 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season. The 29-year-old journeyman infielder got into one contest for the Giants last year as an emergency stopgap. He was in Nationals camp as a non-roster invitee earlier this spring. He’s merely organizational depth at this stage of his career but should be able to latch on somewhere else.

Dan Altavilla

FA Relief Pitcher #58
Twins released RHP Dan Altavilla.

Altavilla was in Twins camp as a non-roster invitee before posting a bloated 7.32 ERA and 19/16 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings for Triple-A St. Paul. The 33-year-old veteran reliever pitched well in 28 appearances for the White Sox last year and has made 152 career appearances in the big leagues since 2016.

Daniel Johnson

FA Center Fielder #31
Astros released OF Daniel Johnson.

Johnson went 2-for-14 across eight games with the Astros earlier this month. The well-traveled 30-year-old makes a ton of sense as an emergency stopgap outfielder but that’s pretty much the extent of his appeal at this stage of his career. He’s gotten into 75 games in the big leagues between four different teams since 2020.

Elias Díaz

KC Catcher #43

Royals sent C Elias Díaz outright to Triple-A Omaha.

Díaz figures to elect free agency following his removal from Kansas City’s roster, but there’s always a chance he opts to stick around as emergency catching depth. The well-traveled 35-year-old veteran garnered zero interest on waivers after going 5-for-22 with two homers during a 10-game stint with the Royals.

Griffin Jax

TB Relief Pitcher #22

Griffin Jax was removed from Tuesday’s start against the Orioles with a back contusion.

Jax is officially day-to-day after being struck by a 107-mph comebacker in the lower back from Leody Taveras. The positive sign is that he was able to finish out the second inning before exiting presumably out of an abundance of caution. He was charged with three runs — zero earned — and struck out three over his two innings of work. It sounds like he should be able to make his next start against the Tigers on Monday.

Matthew Boyd

CHC Starting Pitcher #16

Matthew Boyd (knee) will make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.

Boyd has been on the shelf since undergoing left knee surgery earlier this month following a freak accident while playing with his kids. The 35-year-old southpaw figures to need a couple rehab outings to build up his pitch count and stamina, but should be ready to rejoin Chicago’s lineup at some point in June.

Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy (wrist) took batting practice on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that Muncy could return to the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Rockies. The 35-year-old veteran third baseman has missed four straight games since taking a pitch off his right wrist last Friday.

Hunter Greene

CIN Starting Pitcher #21

Hunter Greene (elbow) completed a bullpen session on Tuesday.

Greene progressed to throwing off a bullpen mound for the first time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his pitching elbow back in early March. The hard-throwing 26-year-old ace figures to ramp-up his throwing program over the next few weeks before starting a rehab assignment. It seems reason able that he’ll be ready to make his season debut sometime around the All-Star break in mid-July.

Austin Slater

TB Right Fielder #40

Rays signed OF Austin Slater to a minor league contract.

Slater becomes the latest Mets castoff to land with the Rays following reliever Craig Kimbrel down to Tampa Bay. The 33-year-old veteran, who heads to his third organization since the start of this season, makes a ton of sense for the club’s platoon-heavy approach and could find his way to the big leagues as an injury replacement at some point this summer.

Luis Severino

ATH Starting Pitcher #40
Luis Severino will have his next start pushed back to Friday’s series opener against the Yankees.

It sounds like a matchup-driven decision as the Athletics are handing the ball to a pair of left handers in top pitching prospect Gage Jump and veteran Jeffrey Springs for the final two games of their current series against the Mariners. Severino will take the ball on extra rest against his former organization later this week in West Sacramento.
