Guardians designated LHP Kolby Allard for assignment.

Allard’s latest stint with Cleveland wound up lasting approximately two weeks as he was rocked for 10 runs on 16 hits over 8 2/3 innings. The 28-year-old southpaw will likely opt for free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Luis Peralta

COL Starting Pitcher #41

Rockies designated LHP Luis Peralta for assignment.

It clears room on the 40-man roster for Blas Castaño, who was claimed off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday. Peralta will now hit the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Blas Castano

COL Relief Pitcher #62
Rockies claimed RHP Blas Castaño off waivers from the Mariners.

Castaño was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. The 27-year-old will provide some depth and likely get a chance at some point to help the Colorado bullpen. Good luck.

Juan Soto

NYM Right Fielder #22

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Mets plan on reinstating Juan Soto (calf) off the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Soto has missed the majority of April while recovering from his strained right calf, and the Mets have clearly missed the slugger over the past few weeks. The 27-year-old may get some days off to stay fresh and avoid an aggravation, but fantasy managers need to be prepared to have Soto in their lineup starting Wednesday.

Rojas is up with Kody Funderburk officially placed on the paternity list. The 23-year-old will make his MLB debut if/when he gets a chance to pitch in the next week.

Royce Lewis

MIN 3rd Baseman #23

Twins activated INF Royce Lewis off the 10-day injured list.

It was a short stint on the IL for Lewis after dealing with a right knee sprain. The 26-year-old is back and will assuredly be in the lineup on a consistent basis, although Minnesota may give him some maintenance days to (hopefully) prevent further issue.
