Luis Gil

NYY Starting Pitcher #81

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday that he’ll open the season with a four-man rotation.

That means Luis Gil is the odd man out, at least for now. It’s unclear if he’ll remain back at the team’s spring training facility to keep working and stay stretched out as a starter or if he’ll head north with the team and operate in a long relief role out of the bullpen for the time being. Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers will start the club’s first four games.

George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
George Springer is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Tigers in Motown.

The Blue Jays have played things cautiously in Springer’s return from a fractured toe, making sure to give him ample days off in order to rest. The 36-year-old slugger has seen a massive decline in his offensive production this season, slashing a woeful .194/.282/.306 with two homers, eight RBI and one stolen base in 111 plate appearances. Lenyn Sosa will start at first base and bat fifth while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. functions as the Jays’ designated hitter on Sunday.

Peter Strzelecki

MIL Relief Pitcher #44

Brewers designated RHP Peter Strzelecki for assignment.

It was a whirlwind 24 hours for Strzelecki as he was promoted from Triple-A Nashville and then booted off of the 40-man roster without appearing in a game. There’s a decent chance that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to serve as extra pitching depth for the Brewers.

Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Brewers recalled LHP Robert Gasser from Triple-A Nashville.

As anticipated, the 26-year-old southpaw will make his season debut on Sunday against the Twins. In six starts at Triple-A Nashville, Gasser compiled a 3.74 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and a 32/8 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings. He’s worth a look as a streaming option for Sunday’s start against the Twins, though he may not stick around in the Brewers’ rotation after this one.

Jose Franco

CIN Starting Pitcher #74

Reds recalled RHP Jose Franco from Triple-A Louisville.

Franco was optioned back to Triple-A at the end of last week when Nick Lodolo returned from the injured list. The 25-year-old hurler has posted a 4.30 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and a 12/11 K/BB ratio over 14 2/3 innings in his first eight appearances at the Major League level. Luis Mey was optioned to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

Luis Mey

CIN Relief Pitcher #47

Reds optioned RHP Luis Mey to Triple-A Louisville.

Mey has done a nice job in five appearances for the Reds this season, compiling a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 13/5 K/BB ratio across eight innings. It shouldn’t take long for him to earn another opportunity with the big league club. Jose Franco was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move on Sunday.

P.J. Higgins

CIN Catcher #96

Reds selected the contract of C P.J. Higgins from Triple-A Louisville.

Higgins had been designated for assignment and sent outright to Triple-A Louisville earlier in the week, but he’ll return with Jose Trevino (hamstring) heading right back to the injured list. Higgins has gone 2-for-10 (.200) in his limited action with the Reds this season. He’ll once again serve as the understudy to Tyler Stephenson.

Jose Trevino

CIN Catcher #35

Reds placed C Jose Trevino on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

Trevino suffered the injury during Saturday’s game against the Guardians. He’ll miss at least a couple of weeks. P.J. Higgins returned from Triple-A Louisville to serve as the Reds’ backup behind Tyler Stephenson.

Adam Macko

TOR Starting Pitcher #64

Blue Jays recalled LHP Adam Macko from Triple-A Buffalo.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old southpaw. Macko registered a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 19/8 K/BB ratio across 18 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A Buffalo. He’ll settle into a middle relief role for the Jays.

Tommy Nance

TOR Relief Pitcher #45

Blue Jays placed RHP Tommy Nance on the 15-day injured list with right forearm discomfort.

Forearm discomfort is usually a precursor to elbow issues, so don’t be surprised if Nance misses more than the minimum time on the injured list. Nance had pitched relatively well in his 19 appearances, posting a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 24/8 K/BB ratio over 20 innings of work. Adam Macko was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take his place in the Jays’ bullpen.

Cameron Foster

BAL Relief Pitcher #65

Orioles recalled RHP Cameron Foster from Triple-A Norfolk.

Foster, 27, has made five appearances for the Orioles this season, posting a troublesome 5.87 ERA, 2.35 WHIP and a 9/6 K/BB ratio across 7 2/3 innings. He’ll function in a middle relief role for the Orioles.
