Gomez becoming trustworthy closer for Twins

June 16, 2026 02:30 PM

Eric Samulski discusses Twins closer Yoendrys Gomez's recent performances on the mound, in which he's had two saves in his last three appearances and is turning out to be a reliable option in Minnesota's bullpen.

Jayden Murray

HOU Relief Pitcher #70

Astros designated RHP Jayden Murray for assignment.

Murray winds up losing his spot on Houston’s 40-man roster after allowing 11 runs on 19 hits over 13 1/3 innings this season. The 29-year-old figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and could stick around as organizational depth.

Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will make a rehab start Tuesday for High-A Wisconsin.

Woodruff will make another rehab start in the minors as he works his way back from the shoulder issue that has sidelined him for the overwhelming majority of 2026. The right-hander may need to make one more appearance below the MLB level after, but he’s closing in no rejoining the Brew Crew rotation before the end of June.

Luis Rengifo

MIL 3rd Baseman #13

Brewers designated INF Luis Rengifo for assignment.

Rengifo was atrocious in his limited time with the Brew Crew; forging a 205/.280/.254 slash line in 209 plate appearances before being designated for assignment. He could report to Triple-A if/when he goes unclaimed or untraded, but there’s just as good of chance he’ll become a free agent and look to rebound with a new organization.

Cooper Pratt

MIL Shortstop #87

Brewers recalled INF Cooper Pratt from Triple-A Nashville.

Pratt is technically recalled because he was on the 40-man roster, but the 21-year-old will be making his MLB debut Tuesday against the Guardians — assuming he’s in the starting lineup. The 21-year-old has several above-average tools, but his mediocre production in Triple-A and the difficulty of the sport he plays makes Pratt more off a long-term play than one who has to be on fantasy rosters.

Andrés Giménez

TOR Shortstop #0

Andrés Giménez is back in the starting lineup against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Giménez, 27, was scratched from Sunday’s lineup due to soreness in his left wrist. The veteran infielder is good to go with Davis Schneider on the bench to open Tuesday’s tilt against the Red Sox.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (back) is hitting third and playing first base against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Guerrero Jr. missed Saturday and Sunday’s game while dealing with tightness in his back. The 27-year-old is good to go to begin the series against Boston, so Charles McAdoo retreats to the bench to make room for Vladdy Jr. in the lineup.

Anthony Nunez

BAL Relief Pitcher #66

Orioles optioned RHP Anthony Nunez to Triple-A Norfolk.

Nunez had some flashes early in the season, but the 24-year-old has scuffled as of late to see his ERA balloon to 4.98 with a 38/14 K/BB ratio over 34 1/3 innings. He should be back at some point this summer, but Ryan Helsley (elbow) is back to resume closing duties for Baltimore.

Ryan Helsley

BAL Relief Pitcher #21

Orioles activated RHP Ryan Helsley from the 15-day injured list.

Helsley is back after missing almost exactly six weeks with his elbow injury. The right-hander should return to closing games for Baltimore, and should be reinstated into fantasy lineups now that he’s back with the O’s.

Jackson Rutledge

FA Relief Pitcher

Phillies released RHP Jackson Rutledge.

Rutledge was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Thursday, and he’ll now be a free agent rather than report back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The former first-round pick will likely see some interest as a potential reclamation project.
