Romy Gonzalez

BOS 1st Baseman #23

MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reports that the Red Sox “envision a big role for Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) when he returns from injury.

Gonzalez will start a rehab assignment on Tuesday and missed all of spring training, so he could need at least three weeks in the minors to get his timing down. When he does return, Red Sox manager Chad Tracy made it clear that Gonzalez would play against lefties and could also DH or play second base against righties, except against “certain righties where it doesn’t make sense.” Gonzalez played 96 games for the Red Sox last season but hit .305 with nine homers, 23 doubles, 53 RBIs, and an .826 OPS. Given his multi-position eligibility, Gonzalez could be a sneaky stash in a week or two before he officially returns.
Logan Henderson

MIL Starting Pitcher #43

Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Logan Henderson (back tightness) is projected to return in early July.

Henderson got an injection in his back in early June, and the Brewers hoped, at the time, that he could be back in late June. Although he hasn’t had any setbacks, it appears that the timeline has been moved back to early July. With the All-Star break looming around then, you have to wonder if the team would use the time and simply bring Henderson back after the break. It’s hard to hold him that long unless you have a few IL spots.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

Spencer Strider (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for four weeks and then undergo a follow-up MRI

If that follow-up scan is clear, Strider will then begin a throwing progression, which will include full ramp-up and then facing live hitters, etc. That means it’s likely two months before we see Strider on the mound for the Braves, if all goes well, and that would be mid-August. It’s hard to recommend holding him in any redraft format.
Connor Seabold

KC Relief Pitcher #40

Royals acquired RHP Connor Seabold from the Blue Jays for prospect RHP Denis Samudio and cash considerations.

Seabold has a 4.26 ERA in 19 innings pitched over sixteen games for the Blue Jays so far this year. He can provide length out of the bullpen for the Royals. Samudio is a 21-year-old in High-A who has a 4.50 ERA in 14 innings this season, while striking out 17 and walking eight.
Steward Berroa

PHI Right Fielder #39

Phillies activated OF Steward Berroa from the paternity list and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Berroa was 1-for-7 in six games for the Phillies so far this season. He will return to his role as organizational depth in the minors now that Derek Hill is with the team.
Eli Morgan

KC Relief Pitcher #34

Royals optioned RHP Eli Morgan to Triple-A Omaha.

The Royals have made only half of the transaction official so far, but Mitch Spence will take Morgan’s spot and start tonight’s game. Morgan pitched one scoreless inning in his three days with the team.
Christian Scott

NYM Starting Pitcher #45

Christian Scott will go on the injured list with an undisclosed injury, The Athletic reports.

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman says it’s a hip issue, and it’s supposed to be relatively minor. Jonah Tong could be recalled to fill in for him. Kodai Senga was expected to make another rehab start, but he could be activated early.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reported that Spencer Strider (elbow) has no ligament damage and there “aren’t any current concerns about him needing surgery.”

Strider is set to meet with Dr. Keith Meister, who performed Strider’s surgery in 2024, to “just provide an indication of what the next steps will be.” That means we should have a better idea of Strider’s timeline for recovery in a couple of days. Considering he wasn’t pitching at the same level we’re used to before this injury and is now dealing with, likely, a multi-week absence, he doesn’t need to be held in leagues without multiple IL spots.
Doug Nikhazy

CHC Starting Pitcher

Cubs designated LHP Doug Nikhazy for assignment.

Nikhazy was claimed off waivers from the White Sox at the end of April but had to be let go to make room on the 40-man roster for Yosver Zulueta. Nikhazy, who never spent any time on the major league roster, posted an 8.44 ERA in 26 2/3 innings at Triple-A for the Cubs in eight appearances (six starts). He will likely go unclaimed on waivers.
Yosver Zulueta

CHC Relief Pitcher #61

Cubs acquired RHP Yosver Zulueta from the Seattle Mariners for cash considerations.

Zulueta was designated for assignment on Wednesday and now has a new home. The 28-year-old has posted a 5.32 ERA and 25/11 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings at the big-league level since 2024. He has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa.
