Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Josh Hader (biceps) will make a minor league rehab appearance on Tuesday for Triple-A Sugar Land.

Hader will make his first rehab appearance since landing on the injured list with a biceps issue at the conclusion of spring training. The 32-year-old closer isn’t eligible to come off the 60-day injured list until mid-May, which means he’s going to get a handful of rehab outings under his belt before returning as Houston’s ninth-inning option.
Yandy Díaz

TB 1st Baseman #2

Yandy Díaz (oblique) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Giants.

Díaz will get some extra time off to rest and recover this weekend after leaving Friday’s series opener with oblique tightness. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but oblique issues can be tricky matters. Clearly, the Rays don’t want to take any chances. It’ll be Jake Fraley taking over at DH in his absence on Saturday evening.
Jacob Misiorowski

MIL Starting Pitcher #32

Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed optimism Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) will make his next start.

“I think he’s going to be fine,” Murphy told reporters after Misiorowski left Friday’s start during the sixth inning of a no-hit bid with a right hamstring cramp. It’s worth noting that the hard-throwing 24-year-old will still need to make it through a bullpen session before he’s officially cleared to take the ball against the Cardinals on Wednesday. However, it certainly sounds like his early exit was merely out of an abundance of caution.
J.T. Realmuto

PHI Catcher #10

Phillies activated C J.T. Realmuto from the 10-day injured list.

Realmuto returns to Philadelphia’s lineup following a nearly two-week absence due to back spasms. The 35-year-old veteran backstop is hitting .259/.344/.352 with one homer and four RBI in 17 games this season. Hopefully the additional rest enables him to get back on track at the dish.
Trey Gibson

BAL Starting Pitcher

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz confirmed Trey Gibson will make his major-league debut against the Yankees on Sunday.

No pressure. Gibson, the Orioles’ top pitching prospect, will make his major-league debut at Yankee Stadium, with Shane Baz likely pushed back to Monday. The 23-year-old right-hander is one of the more intriguing arms in the minors, but this is an extremely difficult spot for fantasy managers to trust him. He offers legitimate strikeout upside after posting a stellar 166/44 K/BB ratio across 120 1/3 innings at three levels in Baltimore’s system last season, giving him a path to immediate fantasy relevance. He’s talented enough to warrant a speculative roster spot in most formats, even if expectations should be tempered in this challenging matchup.
Nico Hoerner

CHC 2nd Baseman #2

Nico Hoerner (neck) is out of the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Diamondbacks.

Matt Shaw takes over at second base with Hoerner on the bench for some additional rest after making an early departure from Friday’s series opener at Wrigley Field with neck tightness. The 28-year-old second baseman has been a revelation, hitting .297/.374/.461 with four homers, 26 RBI and seven steals through 32 games, as an increase in over-the-fence power has pushed him into true superstar territory this season. There should be a clearer picture regarding his status at some point this weekend, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Kazuma Okamoto

TOR 3rd Baseman #7

Kazuma Okamoto is at third base and hitting cleanup on Saturday against the Twins.

Okamoto joked that he was a pregame quesadilla shy of a three-homer performance during Friday’s win over the Twins. He’ll continue hitting cleanup for the seventh time in the last eight games on Saturday afternoon at Target Field. The 29-year-old third baseman has been scorching hot, going deep five times over his last 12 games after Friday’s two-homer explosion.
Chase Dollander

COL Starting Pitcher #32

Chase Dollander will make a bulk relief appearance on Saturday against the Braves.

Colorado will have veteran reliever Brennan Bernardino face the left-handed heavy top of Atlanta’s lineup before turning things over to Dollander for a bulk outing. The 24-year-old former top pitching prospect has missed a ton of bats this season and has emerged as a viable mixed-league option, even when he takes the ball in Coors Field’s high-octane offensive environment.
Jasson Domínguez

NYY Left Fielder #24

Jasson Domínguez (elbow) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Orioles.

Domínguez is back at DH and hitting sixth after sitting out Friday’s series opener to undergo additional imaging on his left elbow, which didn’t reveal any fractures. The 23-year-old former top prospect suffered a contusion when he was hit by a pitch during Wednesday’s series finale against the Rangers. He’ll have an opportunity to show something against right-handed starters for at least a couple games while Giancarlo Stanton (calf) remains on the injured list.
Ryan Helsley

BAL Relief Pitcher #21

Ryan Helsley (elbow) underwent an MRI on Friday that didn’t reveal any structural damage.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz delivered a positive update, noting that Helsely is merely dealing with elbow inflammation and that there isn’t a high level of concern. The 31-year-old closer will be cleared to resume throwing once the swelling subsides and isn’t expected to require a lengthy absence. Andrew Kittredge’s closing experience makes him the clear favorite to take over the ninth-inning role, but rookie Anthony Nunez has the stuff to handle the role. Rico Garcia is another name to watch in the closing mix for the next couple weeks.
