Spencer Arrighetti

HOU Starting Pitcher #41

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Astros recalled RHP Spencer Arrighetti from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Arrighetti offers some immediate streaming appeal, even in shallow mixed leagues, when he takes the ball against the Rockies in Daikin Park on Wednesday night. The 26-year-old righty was limited to just seven starts due to injuries last year and has been rather hit-or-miss from a performance standpoint in the majors over the past two seasons. It’s a strong enough matchup that he’s worth embracing the volatility, especially in deeper mixed leagues.

PHI Relief Pitcher #51

Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start for Wednesday for Low-A Ontario.

Snell’s appearance will be his first official rehab start as he works his way back from shoulder fatigue that has sidelined him for all of 2026. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need to make at least a couple of these before he’s ready to go, but assuming no setbacks, he should be back at some point in May.

Christopher Morel

MIA Left Fielder #5

Christopher Morel (oblique) is beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

As expected, Morel is beginning his rehab assignment for his left oblique strain with the Jumbo Shrimp. The 26-year-old has been shelved since just before the start of the regular season, and he’ll likely need a handful of games at least before getting a chance to play for Miami.

HOU Left Fielder #26

Astros placed OF Taylor Trammell on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain.

Jarren Duran

BOS Left Fielder #16

Jarren Duran is not in the lineup against the Yankees on Tuesday.

Duran is not in the lineup even with a right-hander on the mound for the Yankees in Luis Gil. The 29-year-old has scuffled to begin the season with just a .497 OPS, and it’s possible he’s going to continue to lose playing time until things pick back up. He’s also been the subject of trade rumors for the last 14 seasons or so, give or take a few.

Kutter Crawford

BOS Starting Pitcher #50

Kutter Crawford has been shut down from throwing due to irritation in his right flexor tendon.

The bad news is Crawford won’t be able to throw for a bit. The good news is that an MRI came back clean, so there’s no structural damage. There should be an update on just how long Crawford will be shut down from throwing in the coming days.
