Jung Hoo Lee

SF Center Fielder #51

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jung Hoo Lee (quad) is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Dodgers.

Lee is back in right field and batting sixth after getting banged up on a slide into home plate during Tuesday’s game at Oracle Park. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward.

Christian Yelich

MIL Designated Hitter #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Christian Yelich (back) is not in the starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday.

Yelich, 34, will miss his fourth consecutive game — assuming he doesn’t come off the bench — while dealing with tightness in his back. William Contreras is the designated hitter, and Gary Sanchez will get the start behind the plate with Yelich unavailable.

What has made Bleday so successful lately?

May 15, 2026 01:07 PM

Eric Samulski discusses how Cincinnati Reds' J.J. Bleday has been "one of the hottest hitters in baseball" recently, going over key statistics that speak to his success and why fantasy managers should look out for him.

Clay Holmes

NYM Starting Pitcher #35

Clay Holmes will need to wait 6-8 weeks before until his fractured fibula heals.

The good news is, it appears Holmes will not need to undergo season-ending surgery. The bad news is that Mets manager Carlos Mendoza believes that Holmes is going to miss around three months with the fracture. The right-hander was one of the few bright spots with a 2.39 ERA over his 52 2/3 innings, but it now seems unlikely he’ll be back in the Mets rotation until the middle of August — at the earliest.

Elmer Rodríguez

NYY Starting Pitcher #71

Elmer Rodríguez will start Sunday’s game against the Mets.

Rodríguez will get the nod instead of Ryan Weathers, who was previously scheduled to start the finale of the subway series. Rodríguez is taking the rotation spot of Max Fried (elbow), and the 22-year-old is considered one of the better pitching prospects at the upper levels. He’ll likely stick in the rotation until Gerrit Cole (elbow) returns near the start of June.

Jordan Wicks

CHC Starting Pitcher #36

Cubs activated LHP Jordan Wicks off the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa.

Wicks has been on the injured list with elbow inflammation since the start of the season. The 26-year-old could be an option for the Cubs at some point, but the former first-round selection will continue to operate in Iowa for the foreseeable future.

Luis Castillo

SEA Starting Pitcher #58
Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller will both pitch Tuesday against the White Sox.

Instead of sticking with the six-man rotation, both Miller and Castillo will work multiple innings in the middle game of the three-game set against Chicago. What hasn’t been announced yet is who will start that game, and assuming the starter doesn’t go five innings, that hurler won’t be eligible for a win. The Mariners could move back to the six-man rotation in the coming days/weeks, but for now, it appears the two will be piggybacking.

Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that the Brewers will likely start Robert Gasser on Sunday against the Twins.

Gasser will already be the 11th pitcher to start a game for the Brewers. The 26-year-old has made six appearances for Triple-A Nashville, and over his 21 1/3 innings, he’s whiffed 32 hitters against eight walks with a 3.74 ERA. He would be worthy of streaming consideration for those looking to take a chance.

Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Astros manager Jose Espada told reporters that Josh Hader (biceps) needs five more rehab appearances before joining the Astros.

Hader has pitched well in his previous rehab appearances, but the left-hander has been out of action for a while, and Houston will want to see their closer work a few more times in the minors before making the call-up. One of those final tests will almost assuredly be a back-to-back, and if all goes well, he should be back as the stopper for the Astros by the end of May.

Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

Juan Soto is continuing to receive treatment on his foot after leaving Wednesday’s game due to fouling a ball off his ankle.

Soto is not only receiving treatment on the foot, but he continues to deal with discomfort on his wrist, and he also has been dealing with elbow discomfort. “As long as he’s not putting anything at risk, he’ll continue to play,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters. Soto has been solid if unspectacular despite these injuries with a .271 average, .858 OPS and six homers over 124 plate appearances.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5
Corey Seager is not in the lineup Saturday due to back spasms.

The Rangers are calling the spasms “minor,” and that Seager is currently day-to-day. The 32-year-old has struggled considerably to begin the year, and unfortunately injuries have been a large part of his otherwise-successful career. Ezequiel Duran will handle shortstop with Seager out.

Nick Sogard

BOS 1st Baseman #20

Red Sox recalled INF/OF Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester.

Sogard figures to see action all over the diamond for the Red Sox after logging time at five different positions last year. The versatile 28-year-old doesn’t offer much from an offensive standpoint. He’ll likely see some time at shortstop with Trevor Story on the injured list, but most of those opportunities figure to go to Andruw Monasterio and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
