Maikel Garcia

KC 3rd Baseman #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Maikel Garcia (elbow) remains out of the lineup for the second straight game on Saturday against the Angels.

Nick Loftin draws another start at the hot corner with Garcia getting some additional time off the rest and recover after making an early exit from Thursday’s game with right elbow soreness. The 26-year-old downplayed the severity of the issue while speaking with reporters, so it qualifies as a bit of a surprise to see him still on the shelf. There should be some additional clarity on his status later this weekend.

Jacob Misiorowski

MIL Starting Pitcher #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed optimism Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) will make his next start.

“I think he’s going to be fine,” Murphy told reporters after Misiorowski left Friday’s start during the sixth inning of a no-hit bid with a right hamstring cramp. It’s worth noting that the hard-throwing 24-year-old will still need to make it through a bullpen session before he’s officially cleared to take the ball against the Cardinals on Wednesday. However, it certainly sounds like his early exit was merely out of an abundance of caution.

Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter is at DH and hitting fifth on Saturday against the Athletics.

DeLauter continues to receive opportunities against left-handed starters, which is a great sign for his long-term fantasy outlook. The 24-year-old rookie went 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles and reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances during Friday’s series opener in West Sacramento.

Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Hunter Brown (shoulder) has resumed throwing.

Brown has been cleared to begin playing catch and will need several weeks to ramp-up his throwing program after hitting the shelf with a shoulder strain back in early April. The 27-year-old fantasy ace’s return timeline should become clearer once he progresses to facing hitters again in live batting practice sessions. It’s undoubtedly a positive sign that he’s throwing again.

Owen Caissie

MIA Right Fielder #17
Owen Caisse was scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies due to illness.

Esteury Ruiz takes over in left field and will hit ninth in his place. Caissie cooled off considerably in recent weeks, and is hitting just .200/.242/.333 with two homers, 15 RBI and one steal through 30 games in his Marlins debut.

Griffin Canning

SD Starting Pitcher #17

The Athletic’s Dennis Lin reports the Padres are leaning towards activating Griffin Canning (Achilles) for Sunday’s game against the White Sox.

The Padres have a decision to make since Canning’s 30-day rehab assignment window is up at the end of the weekend. The 29-year-old, who is working his way back from last year’s Achilles injury, completed five innings during his fifth rehab outing earlier this week at Triple-A El Paso. It’s unclear whether he would be pitching in relief initially or jump into San Diego’s rotation mix. There should be some clarity on his status and role at some point before the weekend wraps up.

Luis Torrens

NYM Catcher #13

Mets signed C Luis Torrens to a two-year, $11.5 million contract extension.

The deal is now official. Torrens will remain in New York through at least 2028 as one of the better backup catchers in the game. The 30-year-old impending free agent’s value is primarily on the defensive side where he remains elite at throwing out opposing would-be basestealers. He’ll continue backing up Francisco Alvarez for the next couple years.

Brandon Marsh

PHI Left Fielder #16
Brandon Marsh (elbow) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Marlins.

Marsh grabs a seat on the bench for some extra rest following an early exit from Friday’s series opener with a right elbow contusion. The 28-year-old suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch, but X-rays came back negative for any fractures. He should be ready to get back in the lineup once the pain and any swelling subsides. It’ll be rookie Felix Reyes taking over in left field in his absence.

J.T. Realmuto

PHI Catcher #10

Phillies activated C J.T. Realmuto from the 10-day injured list.

Realmuto returns to Philadelphia’s lineup following a nearly two-week absence due to back spasms. The 35-year-old veteran backstop is hitting .259/.344/.352 with one homer and four RBI in 17 games this season. Hopefully the additional rest enables him to get back on track at the dish.

Dylan Moore

PHI 2nd Baseman #25

Phillies designated INF/OF Dylan Moore for assignment.

The move frees up a spot on Philadelphia’s active roster to bring back catcher J.T. Realmuto from the injured list. The versatile 33-year-old went hitless in 12 at-bats and got into just 13 games for the Phillies this season. He would make sense as a bench option on a contending roster but his days as even a part-time role player are probably finished.

Matt McLain

CIN 2nd Baseman #9
Matt McLain is out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Pirates.

It’s a routine off day for McLain with Reds manager Terry Francona moving Sal Stewart to second base to get Nathaniel Lowe into the lineup at DH to face Pirates righty Carmen Mlodzinski. JJ Bleday has been bumped up to the second spot in the order with McLain on the bench.
