Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bryce Miller recorded a season-high nine strikeouts over six shutout innings on Saturday in a win over the Tigers.

Miller authored his strongest performance of the season, falling just short of posting his first double-digit strikeout performance since last September 11. He generated an eye-popping 16 swinging strikes, including nine on his fastball alone, and allowed just three baserunners. The 27-year-old righty has been phenomenal since coming off the injured list last month, forging a microscopic 1.33 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 29/5 K/BB ratio across 27 innings. He’ll try to keep the momentum going when he faces the Orioles on Thursday in his next start.
Jac Caglianone

KC Right Fielder #14

Jac Caglianone was removed from Saturday’s game against the Twins with right shoulder soreness.

Not great. Caglianone will undergo further evaluation, and likely imaging, to determine the severity of the issue. MLB.com’s Anne Rogers notes that Caglianone appeared to suffer the injury when he crashed into the wall in foul territory down the right-field line during Friday’s series opener. The 23-year-old slugger was 0-for-1 before being lifted for a pinch-hitter during the fourth inning of Saturday’s contest. He’s been swinging a hot bat recently, hitting .381 (8-for-21) with one homer, four RBI and one steal over his last seven games. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Hunter Brown (elbow) will make another minor league rehab start on Wednesday for Triple-A Sugar Land.

Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Brown will need at least one additional tune-up before returning to the club’s rotation in mid-June. The 27-year-old fantasy ace threw just 57 pitches over 4 1/3 innings during his latest rehab outing earlier this week, so it makes sense for him to continue building up his pitch count before returning to Houston’s rotation.
Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Michael Harris II (back) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Pirates.

Mauricio Dubón’s recent power surge enables Atlanta to give Harris some extra time off after making an early exit from Friday’s series opener with back tightness. The 25-year-old center fielder is day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale at Truist Park.
Samuel Basallo

BAL Catcher #29

Samuel Basallo (abdomen) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Blue Jays.

Basallo underwent an MRI on Saturday that came back clean, which is an encouraging development. In the meantime, the Orioles brought up Sam Huff as emergency catching depth behind Adley Rutschman. The 21-year-old prodigy made a precautionary exit from Friday’s series opener at the Rogers Centre with right abdominal discomfort. There should be a clearer idea of his status before the weekend concludes. We’ll have updates on the developing situation as it unfolds.
Hunter Greene

CIN Starting Pitcher #21

Reds manager Terry Francona told reporters Hunter Greene (elbow) could return before next month’s All-Star break.

Greene remains without a definitive return timetable at this juncture in his rehabilitation from arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from his pitching elbow back in early March. However, he’s progressed to throwing bullpen sessions and could potentially make it back to Cincinnati’s rotation sometime around late June or early July. He’ll need a handful of rehab starts before he’s ready to make his season debut. There should be a clearer timeline once he’s cleared to make his first rehab start.
Byron Buxton

MIN Center Fielder #25

Byron Buxton (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Royals.

Twins manager Derek Shelton said there are no plans for Buxton to undergo imaging after he suffered a right shoulder contusion while making a phenomenal leaping catch at the center-field wall during the third inning of Friday’s series opener against the Royals. It’s the same shoulder that he injured while sliding into second base back on May 23. The 32-year-old fantasy stalwart will get some extra time off to rest and recover this weekend, but he appears to have avoided serious injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale. It’ll be Ryan Kreidler taking over in center field on Saturday afternoon.
Maikel Garcia

KC 3rd Baseman #11

Maikel Garcia (hamstring) is in the lineup at DH for Saturday’s showdown against the Twins.

Garcia, who came off the bench to pinch-hit during Friday’s series opener, returns to Kansas City’s lineup in the cleanup spot following a six-game absence due to a right hamstring strain that he suffered last weekend. The 26-year-old infielder somehow managed to a trip to the injured list, but he’ll likely be limited to DH for a couple days, if not longer. It’s fair to question how the Royals handled the situation, but Garcia appears unlikely to miss any additional time.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

JJ Wetherholt (groin) remains out of the lineup for the third consecutive game on Saturday against the Reds.

Wetherholt underwent imaging Friday that came back clean after he missed two games with groin soreness, which qualifies as a positive development for the Cardinals and fantasy managers. The 23-year-old rookie appears likely to return in the near future, possibly as soon as Sunday’s series finale at Busch Stadium. Fellow rookie Bryan Torres draws another start at the keystone with Masyn Winn moving up to the leadoff spot.
Royce Lewis

MIN 3rd Baseman #23

Twins recalled 3B Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul.

Lewis returns to the big leagues after nearly a month at Triple-A, where he tore the cover off the ball, hitting .333 (20-for-60) with 10 homers across 15 games. The gap between Triple-A and the big leagues feels wider than it has in recent memory, which makes projecting immediate success for Lewis a challenge as he returns to the majors. He’s clearly regained some confidence at the plate, which is an important variable. He’s expected to see time at third base, second base, first base and DH moving forward. At a minimum, Lewis is worthy of a speculative add in deeper mixed leagues on the chance he can translate his strong Triple-A run into sustained success at the highest level.
