Roman Anthony

BOS Left Fielder #19

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Roman Anthony is day-to-day with a right wrist sprain.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters there are no plans to place Anthony on the injured list after he was evaluated by a hand specialist on Tuesday. The 21-year-old prodigy figures to miss a couple additional games this week, including the club’s final two games in Detroit. However, he isn’t facing an extended absence, which is an extremely positive development after there was some real concern initially. There should be a definitive return timetable at some point later this week.
Andre Pallante

STL Starting Pitcher #53

Tuesday’s game between the Brewers and Cardinals has been postponed due to inclement weather.

There was zero chance of this one ever getting going based on the forecast at Busch Stadium on Tuesday night. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader later this week. Tuesday’s original starters — Brandon Sproat and Andre Pallante — will presumably take the ball during the upcoming twin bill.
Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Cal Raleigh (side) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Braves.

Raleigh is back at DH following a three-game absence due to right side tightness. It’s an extremely encouraging development for Seattle, and fantasy managers, after there was real concern he would require a trip to the injured list. The 29-year-old backstop has gotten off to a frosty start at the plate after breaking nearly every conceivable offensive record for a catcher last year, but he still has supplied seven homers, 18 RBI and two steals in 33 games this season.
Kirby Yates

LAA Relief Pitcher #39

Angels activated RHP Kirby Yates from the 15-day injured list.

It’s theoretically possible that Yates takes over the closing role in Los Angeles considering Ryan Zeferjahn and Sam Bachman appears to be the only obstacles standing in his way at the moment. However, he got hit hard in a couple rehab outings where his fastball velocity was down considerably. A wait and see approach seems like the correct move here, but Yates is probably worth a speculative roster spot in extremely deep leagues where saves are hard to find on the waiver wire.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Tarik Skubal will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow on Wednesday.

The widely-held expectation is that Skubal is facing a roughly three-month absence, which would keep him on the shelf until the All-Star break in mid-July. However, the Tigers are expected to provide a definitive timetable following the procedure. The 29-year-old back-to-back AL Cy Young Award winner had been pitching with loose bodies in his elbow all season, but the issue finally became unmanageable last week, which led to the decision to have surgery. There should be an official return timeline at some point later this week.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan (elbow) underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage.

It’s the best-case scenario for Minnesota, and fantasy managers, as Ryan was able to play catch without any issues on Tuesday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. There’s a strong possibility the 29-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter is ready to take the ball against the Guardians on Saturday after leaving his previous outing with elbow soreness. There should be a definitive update on his status for his next start following Wednesday’s bullpen session.
Luis García Jr.

WSH 1st Baseman #2

Luis Garcia Jr. has a “minor right hand/wrist sprain” but claims he will not go on the injured list.

For now, we should treat Garcia Jr. as if he’s day-to-day, but that could obviously change if his wrist doesn’t respond in the next few days.
Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Ben Rice (hand) is not in the starting lineup against the Rangers on Tuesday.

This is now the second straight game that Rice has missed since suffering a “contusion” in Sunday’s game. The Yankees have not put him on the injured list, so he could return later this week. For now, Paul Goldschmidt will continue to play first base.
Zach McKinstry

DET 2nd Baseman #39

Tigers activated INF Zach McKinstry (hip) from the 10-day injured list.

McKinstry has been on the injured list for about three weeks, so it’s nice to get him back. With Javier Baez (ankle) on the injured list now, McKinstry should settle into an every-day role against right-handed pitching, but he might do so at a bunch of different positions.
Steven Matz

TB Starting Pitcher #32

Rays placed LHP Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

That’s not great news. Matz looked good on Sunday, allowing one run in six innings to lower his ERA to 3.86 and his WHIP to 1.10. Obviously, he did not respond well after the start, so we’ll have to wait and see how long he will be sidelined for. The Rays are in the process of stretching out Griffin Jax and Mason Englert (forearm) as starters, and Joe Boyle (elbow) is on the injured list, so they may have to turn to Joe Rock or Ian Seymour to take at least one start in Matz’s place.
