PHI Center Fielder #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Johan Rojas has received an 80-game suspension from Major League Baseball after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

Rojas tested positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance, earlier this month while getting ready to play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. The 25-year-old outfielder will be ineligible for the postseason once he returns, which won’t be until June 25, at the earliest. His path to playing time with the Phillies will be in a reserve role moving forward with prospect Justin Crawford taking over as the club’s starting center fielder.

Seiya Suzuki (knee) was scratched from the Cubs’ starting lineup on Sunday.

The Cubs had planned on having Suzuki return to the lineup on Sunday after exiting on Saturday due to discomfort in his right knee. They opted to err on the side of caution though and decided to give him an extra day off. He’s still considered day-to-day.

Ty Adcock

SD Relief Pitcher #52

Padres designated RHP Ty Adcock for assignment.

The 29-year-old hurler gets bumped from the Padres’ 40-man roster to make room for Blake Hunt on Sunday. Adcock has made 11 appearances across three minor league levels this season, posting a 7.15 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 15/6 K/BB ratio over 11 1/3 innings. There’s a decent chance that he slips through waivers unclaimed and continues to function as extra bullpen depth for the Padres.

Blake Hunt

SD Catcher #12

Padres selected the contract of C Blake Hunt from Triple-A El Paso.

The 27-year-old backstop earns his first promotion to the big leagues after toiling in the minors for nine seasons. He has appeared in 15 games at the minor league level this season, slashing .289/.431/.533 with three homers, eight RBI and a 12/9 K/BB ratio over 58 plate appearances. He’ll add depth behind the plate with Freddy Fermin (concussion) on the injured list.

Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Padres placed C Freddy Fermin on the 7-day concussion injured list.

Fermin was hit in the head by an errant warm-up toss from Yuki Matsui during Saturday’s game. He’ll need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s eligible to return. Blake Hunt was promoted from Triple-A El Paso to take his place on the Padres’ active roster.

Jose Altuve

HOU 2nd Baseman #27
Jose Altuve is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Royals.

Astros’ skipper Joe Espada confirmed there’s nothing physically wrong with Altuve, he just needed a breather. Brice Matthews will start in his place at second base and will bat seventh against Stephen Kolek and the Royals on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City.

Chad Stevens

COL Shortstop #21

Rockies optioned INF Chad Stevens to Triple-A Albuquerque.

The Rockies needed to make a move to accommodate the return of Tyler Freeman (concussion) on Sunday and unfortunately for Stevens he wound up as the odd man out this time around. The 27-year-old infielder is a staggering 1-for-28 (.036) with a 13/5 K/BB ratio in 34 plate appearances for the Rockies this season.

Tyler Freeman

COL Right Fielder #2

Rockies activated OF Tyler Freeman from the 7-day concussion injured list.

Freeman progressed through the concussion protocol after being drilled in the head by a 98-mph cutter from Jacob Misiorowski during last Saturday’s game. He’ll start in right field and bat second for the Rockies on Sunday against Athletics’ left-hander Jeffrey Springs.

Jake McCarthy

COL Center Fielder #31
Jake McCarthy (illness) is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s ballgame against the Athletics.

It could just be in part because the Rockies are facing a left-hander in Jeffrey Springs, but it’s the fifth consecutive game that McCarthy has missed due to illness. Sterlin Thompson will once again start in his place in left field and bat ninth for the Rockies on Sunday afternoon in West Sacramento.

Masyn Winn

STL Shortstop #0
Masyn Winn is not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Twins in Minneapolis.

It’s the second straight Sunday that the 24-year-old infielder has gotten a breather after starting every other game during the week. JJ Wetherholt will slide over and cover shortstop while Bryan Torres draws a start at second base and will bat seventh against Twins’ right-hander Taj Bradley.
