Kyle Leahy

STL Relief Pitcher #62

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kyle Leahy coughed up four runs over five innings in a loss to the Mets on Monday.

Leahy surrendered eight hits, and he walked two while only striking out one. One of those free passes came with the bases loaded, and while he threw a decent 51-of-79 pitches for strikes, his command was clearly off through most of the contest. Leahy has a tenuous grasp on a spot in the St. Louis rotation, but he should have no place on a fantasy roster unless being streamed against the worst lineups. The Tigers on Sunday wouldn’t qualify as one of those lineups.

Mets claimed 3B Andy Ibáñez off waivers from the Athletics.

Ibáñez, hitting .118/.167/.118 through his first 18 plate appearances of the season with the Athletics, will fit right in with the Mets.

Zach McKinstry

DET 2nd Baseman #39

Tigers sent INF/OF Zach McKinstry (hip) on a rehab assignment to Single-A Lakeland.

McKinstry landed on the 10-day injured list on April 17, so he’ll be eligible to return whenever the Tigers decide he’s ready. The veteran utilityman was hitting .209/.261/.326 in his first 46 plate appearances of the season before the injury.

George Valera

CLE Left Fielder #7

Guardians optioned OF George Valera to Triple-A Columbus.

Valera hadn’t started since April 25 and was hitting just .216/.237/.297 in 37 at-bats. Perhaps CJ Kayfus will get another opportunity here, or perhaps the Guardians simply will roll with Angel Martínez since he’s hot and add another bench player.

Addison Barger

TOR Right Fielder #47

Addison Barger (ankle) could head for a rehab assignment this weekend.

Barger has been out since April 6 with a left ankle sprain. The Athletic’s Mitch Bannon believes Barger could return to the Jays at some point in the next week. The 26-year-old was off to a slow start before getting hurt, but could carve in to Jesús Sánchez’s playing time against right-handers when he returns.

Heston Kjerstad

BAL Left Fielder #13

Orioles GM Mike Elias said he’s not ready to announce rehab assignment dates for OF Heston Kjerstead (hamstring) but he feels like “it’s right around the corner.”

Kjerstad injured his hamstring towards the end of spring training and has been out ever since. Kjerstad really needs to hit the ground running and push his way into the conversation in Baltimore when he gets healthy, but it’s a fairly stacked outfield that has already pushed Colton Cowser to the brink of fantasy irrelevance. It’s hard to imagine Kjerstad having fantasy value in the near future.

Brandon Marsh

PHI Left Fielder #16
The Athletic’s Matt Gelb writes that new Phillies manager Don Mattingly “seemed inclined to let [Brandon] Marsh” play more against left-handers.

Marsh has always been a platoon outfielder and has a .418 OPS against lefties this season, but Mattingly praised the quality of his at-bats. Marsh would get a little added fantasy value from playing every day, but of course if he’s not hitting against left-handers, it’s hard to pretend it’s a huge boost. Still, this is a situation worth monitoring and would point to Felix Reyes being mothballed. Reyes has started just two of the last six games.

Jhoan Duran

PHI Relief Pitcher #59

Jhoan Duran (oblique) is throwing a bullpen session on Thursday.

The Phillies are “optimistic” about his progress per Matt The Athletic’s Matt Gelb. Duran is eligible to be activated, as he was placed on the list on April 15. It sounds like if he comes out of the bullpen session feeling good, Duran could be back in short order.

Nate Eaton

BOS 3rd Baseman #18
Red Sox optioned INF/OF Nate Eaton to Triple-A Worcester.

A memorable one-day stint on the roster. Eaton did not get into yesterday’s game against the Blue Jays and will head back to Worcester while the Red Sox try to figure out their rotation plans over the weekend. Chris Cotillo says Jake Bennett will likely grab the ball on Friday.

Vinnie Pasquantino

KC 1st Baseman #9
Vinnie Pasquantino (back) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Athletics.

That’s two days in a row off for Pasquantino since he left Tuesday’s game with lower back tightness. Salvador Perez is batting fourth and playing first base while Elias Díaz grabs a start against LHP Jeffrey Springs.

Tyler Soderstrom

ATH Left Fielder #21
Tyler Soderstrom (neck) is not in Sacramento’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Royals.

He hasn’t played since being removed from Tuesday’s game in what Mark Kotsay said was “precautionary.” Colby Thomas is batting cleanup against LHP Noah Cameron. Brent Rooker (0-for-13 since returning from an oblique injury) is also sitting today, giving Shea Langeliers a DH day while Austin Wynns draws a start.
