JJ Bleday

CIN Center Fielder #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

JJ Bleday went 1-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs on Friday night, leading the Reds to a 6-1 victory over the Giants in their Cactus league affair.

The former top prospect opened the scoring in the ballgame as the smacked a two-run single off of Landen Roupp in the top half of the first inning. He struck out in each of his other two plate appearances. Bleday has had a nice spring at the plate, hitting .290 (9-for-31) with a pair of homers and eight RBI. It sounds like he could open the season in the strong side of a platoon for the Reds, getting a chance to do damage against right-handed pitching.

HLs: Angels walk off Rangers after Detmers dazzles

May 24, 2026 11:32 PM

The Angels used Reid Detmers' masterclass, some well-timed offense and a few good breaks to complete their first sweep of the 2026 season in a 2-1 win over their AL West-rival Texas Rangers.

Ty Madden

DET Starting Pitcher #36

Ty Madden (forearm) will make a rehab start Monday for Triple-A Toledo.

Madden has been on the shelf since May 16 with a contusion on his right forearm. The 26-year-old is eligible to come off the injured list Sunday, and could be an option for Detroit at some point in June if his rehab start — or starts — go well.

Brycen Mautz

STL Starting Pitcher #52
Brycen Mautz will be available out of the bullpen versus the Brewers on Monday.

Mautz was supposed to start Sunday’s game against the Reds and make his MLB debut, but that game was postponed. The 24-year-old will instead be a bullpen option with Matthew Liberatore getting the nod for Monday’s tilt against the Brew Crew.

Jonny DeLuca

TB Right Fielder #21

An MRI revealed that Jonny DeLuca is dealing with a right Grade 1 hamstring strain.

According to manager Kevin Cash, that will keep DeLuca out 6-8 weeks. The 27-year-old was placed on the IL before Sunday’s game after suffering the hamstring strain during Friday’s game against New York. Assuming no significant setbacks, that puts DeLuca back in Tampa Bay before the end of July.

Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Monday that the team is monitoring Logan Henderson’s back tightness.

Henderson went five scoreless innings while striking out seven in a win over the Dodgers on Friday, but he didn’t exit that outing unscatched. The 24-year-old is scheduled to face the Cardinals on Wednesday, but Murphy suggests that may not be in the cards, no pun intended. Fantasy managers who are looking to use Henderson for that outing will want to stay tuned for updates.

Tristan Gray

MIN 3rd Baseman #4

Twins activated OF Tristan Gray off the paternity list.

Gray was away from the team for the weekend while helping take care of something bigger than baseball. The 30-year-old is up with Gabriel Gonzalez heading back to Triple-A St. Paul to make room.

Gabriel Gonzalez

MIN Right Fielder #72

Twins optioned OF Gabriel Gonzalez to Triple-A St. Paul.

Gonzalez, 22, gets sent back down as expected with Tristan Gray back from paternity leave. The outfielder will likely get another chance with Minnesota before the campaign comes to a close, and has some long-term fantasy upside.

Rikuu Nishida

CWS 2nd Baseman

White Sox selected the contract of INF/OF Rikuu Nishida.

Nishida gets the promotion after impressing in Charlotte with a .342/449/.392 slash over 32 games in Triple-A. The 25-year-old is a versatile player capable of playing all three outfield spots and the middle infield, but the lack of power makes him a tough sell from a fantasy perspective.

Jarred Kelenic

CWS Right Fielder #24

White Sox designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment.

Kelenic is not all that long removed from being considered among the top prospects in baseball, but to say it hasn’t worked out — with the exception of about half a season with Seattle — is an understatement. The 26-year-old will hit the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he can report back to Triple-A Charlotte or test free agency.

Albert Suárez

BAL Relief Pitcher #49
Orioles designated RHP Albert Suárez for assignment.

It was assumed that 27th man Grant Wolfram would be returned to Triple-A after Sunday’s doubleheader, but he’ll stick around and Suárez will go back on waivers for the third time this season. Suárez pitched four scoreless innings today, giving him a 2.75 ERA in 19 2/3 innings over the course of seven relief appearances.
