Jared Jones

PIT Starting Pitcher #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jared Jones (elbow) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment at Low-A Bradenton on Wednesday.

That will open the 30-day rehab window for the 24-year-old hurler as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. Barring any setbacks along the way, he could be ready to join the Pirates’ rotation at the end of May. Inconsistency should be expected upon his eventual return, but Jones may be worth stashing now for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

J.T. Ginn

ATH Starting Pitcher #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

J.T. Ginn left Sunday’s start against the Rangers with a right shoulder injury.

Ginn suffered what A’s manager Mark Kotsay described as a “stinger” in his shoulder. The 26-year-old was pitching well prior to the injury with 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Kotsay said the team will have more information Tuesday, so fantasy managers considering Ginn — few though there may be — should be prepared.

Yandy Díaz

TB 1st Baseman #2

Yandy Díaz continued his hot start to 2026 in Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Twins, swatting a two-run homer while also drawing a walk.

The homer was his fourth of the season as the 34-year-old continues to hit near career-best levels. It was an opposite-field, two-run shot off Simeon Woods Richardson. Díaz is now batting .337/.425/.500. His contact and plate discipline skills remain among the league’s best.

Jesse Scholtens

TB Starting Pitcher #65

Jesse Scholtens earned the win on Sunday against the Twins, logging 4 1/3 innings of two-run ball out of the bullpen.

Scholtens improved to 2-1 with the effort, which followed a 2 1/3 inning performance by Griffin Jax. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out just one. His next appearance is scheduled for a home matchup against the Giants. He’s entered out of the bullpen in three of his four games so far.

Bryan Baker

TB Relief Pitcher #47

Bryan Baker picked up his sixth save of the season on Sunday against the Twins, tossing a scoreless ninth while striking out one.

Baker has established himself as the Rays’ primary closer, with six of the team’s 10 saves on the year. Meanwhile, Griffin Jax was used for seven outs as an opener, signaling he isn’t a closer-in-waiting even if he were pitching well. Garrett Cleavinger (calf) recently began a rehab assignment, but Baker has pitched well enough that the ninth should remain his until he loses it.

Chandler Simpson

TB Left Fielder #14

Chandler Simpson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored as the Rays defeated the Twins on Sunday.

The theft was his ninth of the season. Only five players have reached double-digit steals so far. Simpson isn’t lacking opportunities lately, having started and hit leadoff against 12 consecutive right-handed pitchers. His skill set remains one of the most electric in both fantasy baseball and the real game, and the Rays are giving him chances to keep earning playing time as the year goes on.

Simeon Woods Richardson

MIN Starting Pitcher #24

Simeon Woods Richardson fell to 0-4 in Sunday’s loss to the Rays, allowing four earned on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings pitched.

He struck out two and walked three in the 78-pitch effort. Woods Richardson was tagged for a two-run homer by Yandy Díaz in the third, putting Tampa Bay up 4-0 at the time. The right-hander hasn’t shown much ability to miss bats this year, and his role in the rotation could be in jeopardy depending on how quickly Mick Abel (elbow) returns. As it stands, Woods Richardson is lined up to face his former team, the Blue Jays, next time out.

Adrian Del Castillo

AZ Catcher #25
Adrian Del Castillo left Sunday’s game against the Padres with a dislocated left finger.

Del Castillo suffered the injury while behind the plate. The 26-year-old was unable to continue and James McCann took over. Del Castillo may need a trip to the injured list, but his status should be updated in the coming days.

Kyle Harrison

MIL Starting Pitcher #52

Kyle Harrison fanned 12 while allowing just one hit in six innings Sunday i the Brewers’ 5-0 shutout of the Pirates.

Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe all struck out two in their innings of work, so it was an 18-strikeout, two-hitter for the Pirates. Harrison, who missed a turn 10 days ago and then got just nine outs Tuesday against the Pirates, induced 23 whiffs and allowed just two hard-hit balls in the best outing of his young career. He’s definitely worth rostering in mixed leagues and worth having active for his start against the Nationals next weekend.

Abner Uribe

MIL Relief Pitcher #45
Abner Uribe pitched a perfect ninth with five-run lead Sunday against the Pirates.

In what seems to be their preferred alignment at the moment, the Brewers against went with Trevor Megill in the seventh, Aaron Ashby in the eighth and Uribe in the ninth. All got through scoreless frames, but Megill and Ashby both allowed two baserunners. Uribe, who struck out two, had the best day of the group, adding a little to his stock.

Carmen Mlodzinski

PIT Starting Pitcher #50

After facing the minimum through three, Carmen Mlodzinski couldn’t survive the fourth Sunday against the Brewers, giving up five runs — four earned — before being pulled with two outs.

Mlodzinski gave up five hits, only two of which came on hard-hit balls, and he wasn’t helped by Joey Bart allowing Sal Frelick to reach on catcher’s interference. Mlodzinski also surrendered five runs last time out, so his ERA has jumped from 1.77 to 4.13 over the last week. He still hasn’t given up a homer this season and he’s fanned 30 in 28 1/3 innings, so he definitely deserves to keep his rotation spot. He’s an option in deeper leagues at home against the Reds next weekend.
