Edward Cabrera

CHC Starting Pitcher #30

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Edward Cabrera notched a quality start against the Mets on Friday, throwing six innings and allowing three earned runs with four strikeouts in a win.

Cabrera labored early in the game, and allowed eight hits, but avoided the gopher ball with the wind blowing out at Wrigley and came away with a win. The Mets were all over Cabrera’s fastball, but generated six whiffs on 21 swings against his changeup. His ERA skyrockets to 2.38. Cabrera should continue to be fired up with confidence against the Phillies next week.

Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is not in the starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

Stanton left Friday’s win with tightness in his right calf, and the Yankees will not take any risks with the slugger. Amed Rosario is the designated hitter with Stanton day-to-day and hit sixth.

Spencer Schwellenbach

ATL Starting Pitcher #56

Spencer Schwellenbach is hoping to be cleared to throw after meeting with his doctor in early May.

Schwellenbach had surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow about 10 weeks ago now. If he’s able to resume throwing in early May, a return just before or after the All-Star break would probably be the plan. He’s far from a sure thing, but there’s a chance he’ll be a big factor in fantasy leagues in the second half.

Marcell Ozuna

PIT Designated Hitter #24
Marcell Ozuna is not in the starting lineup for Saturday against the Brewers.

Ozuna, 35, will get a breather with Ryan O’Hearn operating as the designated hitter and Jake Mangum in left. Ozuna has struggled considerably in his first season with the Pirates with an OPS of just .487. We’ve seen him get off to slow starts only to finish with strong campaigns in the past, however.

Angel Chivilli

NYY Relief Pitcher #57

Yankees placed RHP Angel Chivili on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder discomfort.

Chivili will be out at least two weeks, and shoulder issues are often longer stints; particularly for pitchers. The right-hander’s spot on the roster is taken by David Weathers, who was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move. There should be more on Chivili’s status in the coming days.

Weathers is back with the club and will make the start Saturday against the Astros on Saturday.

Will Smith

LAD Catcher #16
Will Smith is not in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs due to tightness in his back.

Smith will get a breather while dealing with manager Dave Roberts saying that the backstop is “feeling a little tight.” The good news is that it appears this is just precautionary, and Roberts expects Smith to catch tomorrow. Dalton Rushing will try and keep hitting nothing but homers and hit sixth in Smith’s absence.

Austin Warren

NYM Relief Pitcher #44
The Mets plan to bring up Austin Warren as their 27th player for Sunday’s doubleheader against the Rockies.

Warren will provide some pitching depth for the twin billing. Nolan McLean will start the first game of the doubleheader, and Kodai Senga will get game two.

Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Michael Harris II (quad) is back in the lineup at DH for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

Harris returns to Atlanta’s lineup after coming off the bench to deliver a go-ahead two-run double during Friday’s contest. The 25-year-old center fielder has been dealing with a lingering quad issue recently, but it doesn’t appear to be a serious concern.

Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71
Josh Hader (biceps) faced hitters on Saturday in a 25-pitch bullpen session.

Hader progressed to facing hitters earlier this month and figures to be getting close to heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old stopper has been on the shelf working his way back from a biceps issue and appears on track to make his season debut at some point in the second half of May. Enyel De Los Santos has stepped up as Houston’s closer of late in his absence.

Cam Sanders

PIT Relief Pitcher #64

Pirates recalled RHP Cam Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Sanders returns to the majors with starter Braxton Ashcraft away from the club on bereavement leave. The 29-year-old has been hit hard, allowing four runs and recording only one out in his lone appearance in the big leagues this season.
