Sean Murphy

ATL Catcher #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Braves manager Walt Weiss said Sean Murphy (hip) will begin a rehab assignment on Friday.

Weiss referred to this as “spring training” for Murphy, so don’t expect it to be a short rehab assignment. The goal is to get him “a couple dozen at-bats,” which could mean double-digit games, and he also will not play in back-to-back games from the start. That means it could be late May before we see Murphy back with the Braves. That will cut into Drake Baldwin’s playing time a little bit, but Murphy should be the clear backup at this point.

Johan Oviedo

BOS Starting Pitcher #29

Chris Cotillo of Mass Live reports that the Red Sox will transfer Johan Oviedo (flexor) to the 60-day injured list.

The move will clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Jack Anderson, who will be called up Tuesday. Oviedo has a flexor strain and isn’t expect to start throwing until the middle of May. The move to the 60-day list doesn’t change his timeline at all.

Tyler Samaniego

BOS Starting Pitcher #78

Red Sox optioned LHP Tyler Samaniego to Triple-A Worcester.

Samaniego will get the boot with Jack Anderson joining the Red Sox in his place. Samaniego will likely be back at some point as a middle-inning option over the coming months.

Ryan Rolison

CHC Relief Pitcher #33

Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports that the Cubs are promotion LHP Ryan Rolison from Triple-A Iowa.

Rolison and Luke Little will both get the chance to help the Chicago bullpen from the left side, according to Birch. The 28-year-old is a former first-round pick who has bounced around organizations since forging a 7.02 ERA with the Rockies.

Luke Little

CHC Relief Pitcher #43

Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports that the Cubs are promoting Luke Little from Triple-A Iowa.

Little will get the chance to be a bullpen helper for the Cubs. The 25-year-old was an up-and-down option for Chicago in 2025 ,and likely will have the same role in 2026.

Carlos Estévez

KC Relief Pitcher #53

Royals president of baseball operations J.J. Picollo told 96.5 The Fan that Carlos Estévez (foot) could begin a rehab assignment in the coming days.

That rehab assignment would be with Triple-A Omaha. Estévez was able to throw a bullpen session Thursday, and the 33-year-old has a chance to rejoin the Kansas City bullpen near the start of May after being shelved due to a foot contusion. The question will be what role Estévez has; but fantasy managers shouldn’t be surprised if he’s saving games again relatively soon.

Hunter Dobbins

STL Starting Pitcher #40

Hunter Dobbins (knee) will start Tuesday for Triple-A Memphis.

This will be the third rehab start for Dobbins as he recovers from his torn ACL. The 26-year-old should be an option for the St. Louis rotation soon, but fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach in redraft formats.

Bailey Falter

KC Starting Pitcher #36

Bailey Falter (elbow) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday

Falter was only able to pitch in two games to begin the season before being placed on the injured list with elbow irritation. The southpaw will likely need a couple of appearances before being ready to potentially help the Kansas City staff near the end of April.

Rob Zastryzny

MIL Relief Pitcher #58

Brewers transferred LHP Rob Zastryzny from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Zastryzny was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to the start of the season, so he won’t be eligible to come off the IL until the end of May now. In addition to a shoulder strain, he’s also dealing with an intercostal issue that could keep him out until the summer begins.

Greg Jones

MIL Right Fielder #30

Brewers selected the contract of INF/OF Greg Jones from Triple-A Nashville

Jones gets the call to replace Christian Yelich (groin) on the roster. The former first-round pick is one of the faster players in baseball and can play several positions, but seems more likely to just be a fill-in than someone who gets considerable playing time in Yelich’s absence.
