Jared Young

NYM Left Fielder #29

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mets placed 1B/OF Jared Young on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 13, with a left knee meniscus tear.

No word yet on how much time Young will miss, but it figures to be a multi-week absence, even in a best case scenario. The 30-year-old underwent imaging that revealed the tear after dealing with knee discomfort earlier this week.

Michael McGreevy

STL Starting Pitcher #36

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Michael McGreevy shut out the Dodgers for six innings in the Cardinals’ 3-2 victory Saturday.

McGreevy allowed three hits, walked three and struck out three while mostly generating soft contact in this one. For the season, he has a fantastic 2.52 ERA, though with his 16 percent strikeout rate and average 44 percent groundball rate, it still rather looks flukey. He’ll take on the Padres next week.

Riley O'Brien

STL Relief Pitcher #61

Riley O’Brien picked up his ninth save despite giving up two runs and four hits in the ninth against the Dodgers on Saturday.

O’Brien recorded the first two outs, one on a 107-mph liner to right, before giving up four straight singles in a 3-0 game. The Dodgers sent up Dalton Rushing as a pinch-hitter at that point, but he struck out to end the game. Dominant for most of last month, O’Brien has now given up four runs in his last three appearances. Still, he remains a strong bet going forward.

Roki Sasaki

LAD Starting Pitcher #11

Roki Sasaki gave up three runs in six innings Saturday in a loss to the Cardinals.

It’s the second time Sasaki has gone six innings as a major leaguer and thus his second quality start in 14 tries. All of the runs came in the third, when the Cardinals went double, double, homer to start the inning. Sasaki finished with two walks and four strikeouts, three of which came on the harder splitters he’s been using his last couple of starts. He’s now 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA, but this was at least a somewhat positive effort. He’ll face the Braves next weekend.

Jordan Walker

STL Right Fielder #18

Jordan Walker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Dodgers in Saturday’s win.

After a little two-week break, Walker is back hitting again the last five games, going 11-for-23 with two homers, 11 RBI and a couple of steals. He’s probably not the superstar he was the first two weeks of the season, but it looks like he’s improved enough to remain a fine fantasy contributor.

Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Ohtani is 0-for-11 in his last three games, though he did walk three times in the first of those. He’s homered just once in 16 games, which qualifies as a drought for a guy who hit 54 and 55 the last two years.

Carlos Santana

AZ 1st Baseman #41

Carlos Santana (groin) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Santana has been out for close to a month with a strained right adductor. The 40-year-old veteran will likely need a handful of games or so before he will be an option again for the D-backs in the next week or so.

Tyler Holton

DET Relief Pitcher #87

Tyler Holton will serve as opener for Sunday’s game against the Tigers.

Holton has worked in 13 games while throwing 13 innings, so it’s likely that the 29-year-old will only go an inning or two in this outing.

Lars Nootbaar

STL Left Fielder #21
Lars Nootbaar, on the 60-day IL following surgery on both heels, is slated to begin a rehab assignment during the week beginning May 10.

The Cardinals will probably have Nootbaar spend the full 20 days in the minors or at least something very close to it. Once back, he’ll probably serve as the team’s left fielder. Nathan Church could potentially slide to center if he’s still outplaying Victor Scott II at that point.

Jonathan Aranda

TB 1st Baseman #8

Jonathan Aranda went 2-for-4 and knocked in two runs Saturday as the Rays defeated the Giants 5-1.

Aranda’s .228/.336/.447 line isn’t anything special, but he’s tied for fifth in the majors with 27 RBI. He’d surely have a higher slash line if he weren’t playing against left-handers, but those extra at-bats, even if they’re not particularly good ones, are worth the tradeoff.

Griffin Jax

TB Relief Pitcher #22

Griffin Jax pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings in his second start Saturday against the Giants.

It looks like this is going to be a permanent switch for Jax, leaving him with no fantasy value in the short term while he gets stretched out. Still, the talent is there for him to perhaps reemerge as a contributor once he’s ready to throw six innings at a time. He’s thrown five scoreless innings in his two starts thus far.
