Giancarlo Stanton

NYY Designated Hitter #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Yankees placed DH/OF DH/OF Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 25, with a right calf strain.
Jackson Chourio

MIL Center Fielder #11

Jackson Chourio (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Chourio will likely play a handful of games with the Sounds. The 22-year-old has a great chance to get back into the lineup early next week, and his power/speed combination will be a welcome return for both the Brew Crew and fantasy managers.
Kodai Senga

NYM Starting Pitcher #34

Mets placed RHP Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list with lumbar spine inflammation.

Senga has really struggled in 2026, and after allowing three runs and going just 2 2/3 innings against the Rockies on Sunday, he now has an ERA of 9.00 on the season. The spinal injury will keep him out at least two weeks, but a better idea of when Senga will be able to return to the New York rotation.
Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Blue Jays activated RHP Trey Yesavage off the 15-day injured list.

Yesavage is back to make the start Tuesday against the Red Sox. The 22-year-old was a breakout star for Toronto in both the regular and postseason, and while he likely will be working on a strict pitch/inning count early on, his ability to miss bats makes him a very intriguing option going forward.
Travis Bazzana

CLE 2nd Baseman #87

Guardians selected the contract of INF Travis Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus.

Bazzana will make his MLB debut Tuesday against the Rays in Tampa Bay and hit seventh while starting at second base. The 23-year-old was hitting .287/.4221/;511 with two homers and eight steals prior to the promotion. Bazzana doesn’t project to be a superstar and may deal with some struggles to begin his career — many top prospects do — but he’s worthy of consideration for those who may need middle-infield help.
Carlos Rodón

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Carlos Rodón (elbow) will make “at least two more rehab starts.”

Rodón was up to 65 pitches in his last rehab outing, so the thought was that the Yankees would let him throw one more time on Thursday and then potentially rejoin the rotation. It seems like he’ll make one more rehab start next week, probably on Tuesday the 5th or Wednesday the 6th, and then return to the Yankees the week of May 11th.
Moisés Ballesteros

CHC Catcher #25

The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney reports that the Cubs are “accelerating the catching program for” Moisés Ballesteros.

The 22-year-old rookie has put up video game numbers as a hitter this season, and the Cubs have decided that they can no longer keep slow-playing his development behind the plate. Ballesteros got his first start this season behind the plate in Monday night’s 9-7 loss to the Padres. According to Mooney, “Ballesteros has been engaged in the process, catching bullpen sessions, doing throwing drills, and participating in meetings,” so the Cubs will now try to get him more game reps. Cubs manager Craig Counsell would not commit to those reps being regular, so it remains unclear how soon Ballesteros will gain catcher eligibility in fantasy leagues where he doesn’t yet have it.
Alex Cora

BOS Manager

USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports that Alex Cora turned down the Phillies managerial job after Rob Thomson was fired.

Cora is signed to a three-year, $21.75 million contract with the Red Sox that he will still collect even if he doesn’t manage another game. Taking another managerial position would mean that he has to rip up that contract, so he’s understandably in no rush. Cora will spend time with his family for now, but there’s obviously a chance that he could change his mind in the future. For now, Don Mattingly will manage the Phillies.
Manny Machado

SD 3rd Baseman #13

Padres manager Craig Stammen said that Manny Machado was pulled from Monday’s game against the Cubs for precautionary reasons.

Stammen said that Machado didn’t look great coming out of the batter’s box on his last at-bat and also had a couple of slides at second base that “didn’t feel great on his lower half.” The Padres will talk to Machado on Tuesday and see how he’s feeling before deciding if he needs an off day or not, but Stammen said that Machado is “fine.”
Elmer Rodríguez

NYY Starting Pitcher #76

Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that the team will call up RHP prospect Elmer Rodríguez to start on Wednesday against the Rangers.

The 21-year-old is off to a great start at Triple-A, posting a 1.27 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in 21 1/3 innings. He has just 20 strikeouts over that stretch, so he has yet to show the swing-and-miss upside that he displayed at Double-A last year. It may eventually become a larger part of his game, but it’s fair to wonder how many bats he’s going to miss right away at the big league level. The Yankees also have Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole on their way back in a couple of weeks, so this will likely be a short audition for Rodríguez. That makes him hard to add in fantasy leagues outside of deeper leagues, where you’d be willing to stream him for this debut.
