Zach Eflin

BAL Starting Pitcher #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zach Eflin left Tuesday’s start against the Rangers with a trainer.

Not a great sign. It’s a bit unclear what transpired that caused Eflin to depart with two outs in the fourth inning after allowing one run on four hits. He finished with seven strikeouts and issued a pair of walks, throwing 74 pitches (44 strikes) in his season debut. The hope is that he isn’t dealing with a flare up of the back issues that plagued him last year. There should be an update from the club on his status shortly.
Colt Emerson

SEA Shortstop #85

Mariners signed SS Colt Emerson to an eight-year, $95 million contract extension with a club option for 2034.

The long-term agreement, first reported earlier Tuesday, is now official. Emerson is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball and is expected to be a key piece of Seattle’s roster through at least 2033. The 20-year-old prodigy’s combination of bat-to-ball skills and emerging power makes it easy to envision him as an impactful fantasy contributor in the near future. There has been no indication the Mariners plan to accelerate his timeline at Triple-A this season, but his arrival as the club’s shortstop of the future feels almost inevitable, especially since J.P. Crawford hitting free agency at the end of the year.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

The Cardinals are trying to sign rookie JJ Wetherholt to a long-term contract extension, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

Heyman did not provide specifics regarding a potential extension offer from the Cardinals to Wetherholt, who is hitting .250 (4-for-16) with one homer and one steal through his first four games in the majors. Still, it would make sense for both sides to explore a deal early in his rookie season, similar to the extensions the Red Sox and Orioles reached with top prospects Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell and Samuel Basallo last year. This report follows Seattle’s decision to sign top prospect Colt Emerson to an eight-year, $95 million contract earlier on Tuesday.
Seiya Suzuki

CHC Right Fielder #27

Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Seiya Suzuki (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment later this week.

It’s a positive update regarding Suzuki’s potential return timeline after hitting the injured list at the conclusion of spring training with a right knee sprain. The 31-year-old corner outfielder will require at least a handful of rehab contests to get back up to speed prior to making his season debut. It doesn’t sound like he’s too far away and should make it back to Chicago by mid-April.
Cody Ponce

TOR Starting Pitcher #66

Blue Jays placed RHP Cody Ponce on the 15-day injured list with a right knee ACL sprain.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Ponce will miss significant time, but the club remains hopeful he’ll pitch again this season and will await additional medical opinions before determining his next steps. The 31-year-old journeyman left his Blue Jays debut on Monday night with right knee discomfort before an MRI revealed an ACL sprain in his right knee. His prolonged absence puts additional strain on Toronto’s rotation which is already without Trey Yesavage (shoulder), Shane Bieber (elbow) and José Berríos (elbow).
Kevin McGonigle

DET Shortstop #7

Kevin McGonigle is at shortstop and batting second on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

The McGonigle era has gotten off to a phenomenal start with Detroit’s top prospect hitting .357 (5-for-14) with two doubles and four RBI through four games. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the 21-year-old hitting machine’s early-season performance has been his plate discipline, as he’s struck out just three times while also drawing three walks. He’s batting second for the first time on Tuesday night at Chase Field after hitting sixth at the outset of the year.
Kerry Carpenter

DET Right Fielder #30

Kerry Carpenter has been dropped to fifth in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Diamondbacks.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is going to shake things up by moving Colt Keith to the leadoff spot after Carpenter went 1-for-16 with 10 strikeouts in four games to kick off the season. It’s possible this is just a temporary move to try to find a spark but it would be a significant boost for Keith if he remains atop Detroit’s lineup ahead of Kevin McGonigle, Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.
Willy Adames

SF Shortstop #2

Willy Adames is back in the leadoff spot for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

Adames gets another shot atop San Francisco’s lineup after going 1-for-4 on Monday as the Giants picked up their first win of the season. It’ll be the fourth time he’s led off in his entire nine-year career. No other changes for Giants rookie skipper Tony Vitello as Luis Arraez sticks in the cleanup spot for the second straight contest.
Jorge Polanco

NYM 2nd Baseman #11

Jorge Polanco (Achilles) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Cardinals.

Polanco will get some extra rest in this one while playing through a relatively minor Achilles issue that flared up last weekend. The 32-year-old veteran should be considered day-to-day for now. He’s likely to be limited to DH for the immediate future. It’ll be Mark Vientos taking over at DH with Jared Young covering first base.
Nick Kurtz

ATH 1st Baseman #16

Nick Kurtz is at first base and batting third on Tuesday against the Braves.

Kurtz moves to the heart of the order with Braves lefty José Suarez taking the hill on Tuesday night at Truist Park after batting leadoff in four consecutive games to open the season. It’ll be Jacob Wilson taking over atop the lineup with Shea Langeliers dropped to the fifth spot. It remains to be seen whether this is a one-off matchup-related decision or a more permanent change. The 23-year-old reigning AL Rookie of the Year has gotten off to an ice-cold start this season, hitting .077 (1-for-13) with eight strikeouts through four games. We’re not concerned in the slightest considering how microscopic of a sample size we’re dissecting here. It’s only a matter of time before Kurtz gets going.
