Vidal Bruján

NYM 3rd Baseman #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mets selected the contract of INF/OF Vidal Bruján from Triple-A Syracuse.

With Ronny Mauricio heading to the injured list with a fractured thumb and Francisco Lindor (calf) already stationed on the injured list, the Mets’ depth at the shortstop position is running woefully thin. It’s unclear if Bruján will see the bulk of the action there or if Bo Bichette will slide over from third base in the interim while Brett Baty covers the hot corner.

Erik Miller

SF Relief Pitcher #68

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Erik Miller (back) is throwing a bullpen on Wednesday and will pitch for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Miller was just placed on the injured list on Monday with a lower back strain, but he is already throwing and will be out on a rehab assignment quickly. He should return to the Giants when first eligible next week, which may put a little bit of a damper on the excitement about Caleb Kilian in fantasy leagues. Those two could share saves as part of a committee in San Francisco.

Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell will make a rehab start on Saturday for Low-A Ontario

Snell threw 38 pitches in his previous rehab start, so he should be up over 50 pitches in this one. Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reported that this could be Snell’s last rehab start, but that would mean that Snell would likely be around 60 pitches when he makes his season debut with the Dodgers. This is a situation to monitor after his start this weekend.

Sam Aldegheri

LAA Starting Pitcher #61

Angels optioned LHP Sam Aldegheri to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Aldegheri threw four innings on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits. He will head back to Triple-A in order to allow the Angels to get a fresh arm back into the bullpen. The left-hander will get another chance shortly.

Alek Manoah

LAA Starting Pitcher #47

Angels activated RHP Alek Manoah (finger) from the 15-day injured list.

Manoah will be active out of the bullpen on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen if he’s an option to take Yusei Kikuchi’s (shoulder) place in the rotation. The 28-year-old Manoah has been working his way back from a finger contusion he suffered in spring training and will pitch in his first MLB innings since 2024 when he does get into a game.

Jim Jarvis

ATL Shortstop

Braves recalled SS Jim Jarvis from Triple-A Gwinnett

Jarvis was hitting .305/.418/.445 with four home runs, 25 runs scored, 20 RBI, and 15 steals in 33 Triple-A games. The 25-year-old will also start at shortstop and bat ninth on Wednesday in his MLB debut. With Mauricio Dubon now playing the outfield while Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is on the IL, there is a chance for Jarvis to carve out some playing time. However, Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is also close to a return.

Jose Azocar

ATL Left Fielder #28

Braves designated OF José Azocar for assignment.

With Michael Harris II (quad) feeling better, the Braves are going with a reserve infielder instead of another outfielder. Azocar was playing well in Triple-A, hitting .270/.348/.420 with a pair of homers, 11 RBI, and eight stolen bases in his first 113 plate appearances. He could return to the Braves on a minor league contract if he clears waivers.

Garrett Mitchell

MIL Center Fielder #5
Garrett Mitchell has been scratched from Wednesday’s starting lineup against the Cardinals.

There’s no word yet on why. Sal Frelick is now leading off, Jackson Chourio moves to center field, and Tyler Black is in the lineup in left field.

Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff “had a minor procedure yesterday to drain fluid from his shoulder.”

Updating a previous item, it seems that the plan for Woodruff to begin his throwing routine on Saturday is an optimistic one and will now depend on how his shoulder responds to the minor procedure. Brewers manager Pat Murphy believes that “Woodruff will only need a couple of bullpens before he rejoins the rotation,” but this all feels very precarious to us, given his injury history and the need for fluid to be drained.

Shay Whitcomb

HOU Left Fielder #14

Astros recalled 3B Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land.

With Carlos Correa (ankle) done for the season, Whitcomb will be elevated to the active roster and fill a role as a reserve infielder. The 27-year-old is hitting .269/.296/.538 four home runs and four steals in 13 Triple-A games.

Andrés Giménez

TOR Shortstop #0
Andrés Giménez is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the Rays.

This is now the second straight game that Giménez has sat against a left-handed pitcher. Ernie Clement will start at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will play second base. It’s a bit concerning that Sosa, who also hits left-handed, is in the lineup while Giménez is not. Giménez has enjoyed a better season this year than last season, but he’s in a strong side platoon and lacks power, which limits him to deeper formats.
