Kenley Jansen

DET Relief Pitcher #74

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kenley Jansen earned his sixth save of the season in Wednesday’s 5-2 win over the Brewers.

He allowed two walks and a hit but struck out one over an inning of work. The 38-year-old has all but one of the Tigers’ saves this season. The only other belongs to Drew Anderson and was of the three-inning variety. What matters is that Jansen isn’t splitting ninth-inning chances with Kyle Finnegan or Will Vest. He’s a strong second closer at the moment, especially given the recent injuries and meltdowns at the position.

Cole Ragans

KC Starting Pitcher #55

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cole Ragans (elbow) played catch for the second straight day on Tuesday.

Royals manager Matt Quatratro told reporters Ragans is going to play catch again on Wednesday before they determine his next steps. The 28-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter hit the shelf with an elbow impingement last Friday. There’s a chance he’s cleared to rejoin Kansas City’s rotation relatively quickly if he’s able to progress to throwing bullpen sessions without any setbacks.

Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize (adductor) progressed to facing hitters on Monday in a live batting practice session.

It’s a significant development as Mize continues to work his way back from an adductor strain that put him on the shelf back on April 29. The 29-year-old righty, who posted a solid 2.90 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 31 innings prior to the injury, could potentially skip a minor league rehab assignment before jumping back into Detroit’s rotation, but that’s not a guarantee.

Endy Rodríguez

PIT Catcher #13

Pirates recalled C/1B Endy Rodríguez from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Rodríguez returns to the majors with fellow backstop Joey Bart heading to the injured list with a foot infection. The 25-year-old was considered one of the better catching prospects in the game just a couple years ago before elbow issues derailed him. He’s batted just .210/.276/.311 with three homers in 261 plate appearances over 75 games in the big leagues dating back to 2023.

Brandan Bidois

PIT Relief Pitcher #77

Pirates recalled RHP Brandan Bidois from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Bidois earns his first call-up to the big leagues after posting an inflated 7.20 ERA and 23/9 K/BB ratio across 15 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis. The 24-year-old prospect was added to Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster last November and will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Cam Sanders

PIT Relief Pitcher #64

Pirates optioned RHP Cam Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Sanders returns to the minors after allowing six runs with a 7/5 K/BB ratio across five innings for the Pirates in a couple stints this season. He’s made 11 appearances at the highest level over the last two years.

Joey Bart

PIT Catcher #14
Pirates placed C Joey Bart on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 10, with a left foot infection.

No word yet on how much time Bart will miss. The 29-year-old backstop heads to the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies. It’ll be Henry Davis and Endy Rodríguez handling the catching duties in his absence.

Dylan Beavers

BAL Right Fielder #12
Dylan Beavers was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Yankees with right oblique discomfort.

Colton Cowser will patrol center field and hit seventh in his place. Oblique issues can be complicated matters, which is why the Orioles aren’t going to take any chances here. The 24-year-old former top prospect, who is hitting .243/.331/.369 with two homers, 12 RBI and three steals in 33 games this season, will likely undergo evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue and whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list.

Tyler Wells

BAL Relief Pitcher #68

Orioles recalled RHP Tyler Wells from Triple-A Norfolk.

Wells returns to Baltimore’s relief mix with lefty Grant Wolfram (back) hitting the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Yankees. The 31-year-old former starter figures to pitch in long relief situations. He’s compiled a serviceable 3.44 ERA and 18/4 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings for the Orioles this season.

Grant Wolfram

BAL Relief Pitcher #48

Orioles placed LHP Grant Wolfram on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 9, with a lower back strain.

Wolfram figures to miss at least a couple weeks. The 29-year-old southpaw has recorded a pedestrian 4.85 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 20/1 K/BB ratio across 13 innings over 16 appearances this season.

Lou Trivino

FA Relief Pitcher #58
Orioles RHP Lou Trivino elected free agency.

Trivino allowed six runs over three innings in a pair of appearances for the Orioles before being designated for assignment over the weekend. The 34-year-old veteran reliever will search for a new opportunity elsewhere.
