Mitch Keller

PIT Starting Pitcher #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mitch Keller lasted only four innings after giving up five runs and four walks Tuesday against the Nationals.

Keller walked James Wood and Luis García Jr. to start the first and then gave up three straight hits. It could have been a true disaster, but with three runs in, Keller picked Daylen Lile off second base and then got a strike ‘em out, throw ‘em out double play to end the inning. Still, things only got so much better afterwards, and it took him 90 pitches to get just 12 outs. His ERA jumped from 1.00 to 2.86, and it figures to keep rising from there. He’ll face the Rays on Sunday.

Astros designated OF Dustin Harris for assignment.

Harris has been ejected from Houston’s active roster after spending a couple weeks with the club. He went 7-for-31 with four RBI and two steals in 11 games after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox last month.

Target Red Sox’ Anthony for trade amid injury

May 5, 2026 02:43 PM

Provided he doesn't get bad news about his hand, Roman Anthony could be a good buy-low candidate in fantasy baseball.

Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Cal Raleigh (side) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Braves.

Raleigh is back at DH following a three-game absence due to right side tightness. It’s an extremely encouraging development for Seattle, and fantasy managers, after there was real concern he would require a trip to the injured list. The 29-year-old backstop has gotten off to a frosty start at the plate after breaking nearly every conceivable offensive record for a catcher last year, but he still has supplied seven homers, 18 RBI and two steals in 33 games this season.

Kirby Yates

LAA Relief Pitcher #39
Angels activated RHP Kirby Yates from the 15-day injured list.

It’s theoretically possible that Yates takes over the closing role in Los Angeles considering Ryan Zeferjahn and Sam Bachman appears to be the only obstacles standing in his way at the moment. However, he got hit hard in a couple rehab outings where his fastball velocity was down considerably. A wait and see approach seems like the correct move here, but Yates is probably worth a speculative roster spot in extremely deep leagues where saves are hard to find on the waiver wire.

Tayler Saucedo

LAA Relief Pitcher #55

Angels optioned LHP Tayler Saucedo to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Saucedo returns to the minors with high-leverage arm Kirby Yates back from the injured list. The 32-year-old lefty made just one relief appearance for the Angels after being called up over the weekend.

Justin Foscue

TEX 1st Baseman #56

Rangers recalled INF Justin Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock.

Foscue receives another shot in the majors with Josh Smith hitting the shelf with a glute injury. The 27-year-old former first-round pick has struggled to carve out a role at the highest level, hitting .059 (3-for-51) with three RBI in 19 games since 2024. He’s put up decent numbers on the doorstep of the big leagues, but hasn’t been able to take advantage when his number has been called.

Josh Smith

TEX 2nd Baseman #8

Rangers placed INF/OF Josh Smith on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 4, with a right glute strain.

It’s a bit unclear how long Smith will be sidelined, but the most likely scenario is a multi-week absence. The versatile 28-year-old has mostly played second base this season and is off to a slow start, hitting .217/.324/.239 with zero homers and two steals through 31 games.

Thomas Saggese

STL Left Fielder #25

Cardinals recalled INF/OF Thomas Saggese from Triple-A Memphis.

Saggese returns to St. Louis, just a couple days after being sent down to play everyday at the Triple-A level, with veteran Ramón Urías hitting the injured list with an elbow issue. The 24-year-old has struggled at the dish and is unlikely to play enough to make any sort of fantasy impact.

Ramón Urías

STL 3rd Baseman #29

Cardinals placed 1B/3B Ramón Urías on the 10-day injured list with right elbow lateral epicondylitis.

Urías is dealing with pain on the outer side of his right elbow. He’ll likely be shut down for a brief period before ramping up baseball activities again. The 31-year-old veteran has split time between first and third base in his Cardinals debut, hitting .158 (9-for-57) with two homers in 25 games this season.

Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25
Gleyber Torres (side) remains out of the lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

It’s officially time to be concerned as Torres’ absence stretches into the middle of the week. The 29-year-old second baseman has been dealing with left side tightness since last weekend, but there’s been no indication that he’ll require a trip to the injured list. Rookie Hao-Yu Lee will make another start at the keystone in his place on Tuesday night against Boston.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rays.

It’s a routine off day for Guerrero, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider. The 27-year-old middle-of-the-order force has gotten off to a fast start, hitting .331/.416/.431 with 21 runs scored, two homers, 16 RBI and two steals through 35 games this season. Fantasy managers would love to see some additional over-the-fence pop, but they’ll gladly take a .331 batting average at the expense of a few additional round-trippers.
