Rotoworld Player News Headlines

All Player News

Brandon Nimmo

TEX Right Fielder #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brandon Nimmo (ankle) is in the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks.

Nimmo’s toughness certainly can’t be questioned since he’s back in the lineup less than 24 hours after suffering a left ankle sprain during Tuesday’s contest against Arizona. The 33-year-old veteran outfielder certainly won’t be at full strength, but he’s going to try to play through the injury after initial X-rays didn’t reveal any fractures. He’ll have some extra time off to rest during Thursday’s off-day before Texas kicks off a three-game series against the division-rival Astros.
Francisco Alvarez

NYM Catcher #4

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Francisco Alvarez will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and will miss 6-8 weeks.

It’s a significant loss for the injury-plagued Mets, who will be without their starting catcher until at least late June, in a best-case scenario. It’s possible he’s on the shelf until after the All-Star break in mid-July. The 24-year-old backstop suffered the injury during Tuesday’s contest against the Tigers. It’ll be defensive specialist Luis Torrens taking over the catching duties in his absence.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. (hamstring worked through his running progressions on Wednesday, building up to sprinting from 90 feet.

Acuña Jr. is eligible to come off the injured list today, and while that appears highly unlikely, it is nice to see that he has begun sprinting up to 90 feet. The Braves may do a few more tests, and there is no word yet on whether or not he’ll need a rehab assignment before coming back, but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be out much longer.
Nathaniel Lowe

CIN 1st Baseman #31

Nathaniel Lowe is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth for the Reds on Wednesday against the Nationals.

Despite being one of the better hitters on the Reds of late, Lowe has sat in each of the last two games. We know the Reds’ offense is struggling to find a rhythm right now, but Lowe deserves to remain in the batting order for the time being. He can be put right back into your fantasy lineups.
Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Max Fried left his start Wednesday due to left elbow posterior soreness and will undergo tests in New York on Thursday.

This is an unfortunate way for the Yankees to solve their rotation crunch, but assuming that Fried is going to spend some on the IL, it allows them to stick with a five-man group and still keep Will Warren and Ryan Weathers after Gerrit Cole is activated. Fried’s last big elbow scare came in 2023, when he missed about half of the season with a forearm strain. He also had a brief absence in 2024 with neuritis in the area.
Chris Paddack

CIN Starting Pitcher #33

Reds signed RHP Chris Paddack to a one-year contract.

The Reds will pay Paddack the major league minimum while the Marlins cover the rest of his $4 million salary. Paddack has a 7.63 ERA in six starts and one relief appearance this season after coming in at 5.35 in 158 innings for the Twins and Tigers last year. He should remain awful for the Reds, but at least he’s stretched out and ready to go, which is what they need with Hunter Greene, Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson all shelved. According to The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosencrans, Paddack will start Saturday against the Guardians, with Andrew Abbott moving up to Friday.
Liam Hendriks

CHC Relief Pitcher #31

The Athletic’s Britt Ghiroli reports that the Cubs have signed RHP Liam Hendriks to a minor league contract.

Hendriks was with the Twins to begin the season, but had an opt-out clause that he enacted prior to the end of spring training. His four-seam fastball was averaging below 94 mph this spring, and he’s missed significant time with injuries over the last few seasons. He remains a feel-good story because of all he has had to overcome over the last few seasons, but his days of being an impactful fantasy reliever are likely over.
Bryce Miller

SEA Starting Pitcher #50

Mariners activated RHP Bryce Miller (oblique) from the 15-day injured list.

Miller will make his season debut on Wednesday against the Astros and then, reportedly, enter into a piggyback situation with Luis Castillo. Miller has been up to 61 pitches in his last rehab start, so he could perhaps get to 70-75 today against the Astros, which makes him tough to rely on in fantasy leagues. His future value is also clouded by his potential role. If he is the opening pitcher in a piggyback situation with Castillo, that could limit Miller’s chances of wins and crush a lot of his fantasy value.
Dylan Beavers

BAL Right Fielder #12

Orioles placed OF Dylan Beavers on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain.

This felt like a possibility after the news earlier today that Beavers had an MRI on his oblique. It’s unfortunate timing since Beavers was starting to play more often, and it could open the door for Colton Cowser or Heston Kjerstad (hamstring), currently rehabbing in Triple-A, to push for a starting job in the outfield.
Lucas Giolito

SD Starting Pitcher

The San Diego Tribune’s Kevin Acee reports that the Padres are planning to start Lucas Giolito this weekend against the Mariners.

This isn’t a huge surprise since Giolito is required to be on an MLB roster by May 17th, which would be this Sunday, the final game of the series against the Mariners. The veteran right-hander was much better in his final rehab start, throwing six shutout innings for Double-A San Antonio while allowing three hits and striking out three. The 31-year-old was solid for the Red Sox last season, but lacks the strikeout upside he possessed in his early MLB seasons. He remains a deep-league option and one we’d probably pick up and keep on our bench for this weekend.
