Junior Caminero

TB 3rd Baseman #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Junior Caminero left Tuesday’s game against the Guardians with a trainer.

Caminero left the contest shortly after fouling a ball off home plate that bounced up and struck him on the right side of the face. He managed to stay in to complete the at-bat, but immediately went down the tunnel with a trainer afterwards and was replaced at third base by Richie Palacios. He finished 0-for-1. The 22-year-old superstar will head for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani is pitching on Tuesday against the Marlins, but is not in the lineup at DH.

As expected, Ohtani will pitch exclusively on Tuesday evening at Dodger Stadium. Dalton Rushing is at DH and will occupy the leadoff spot in his absence. The 31-year-old two-way superstar’s workload is being monitored closely during the early stages of the season to avoid putting too much strain on him from a physical standpoint. He should be back in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon’s series finale.
Manny Machado

SD 3rd Baseman #13

Manny Machado (leg) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Cubs.

It’s an extremely rare day off for Machado following a precautionary exit from Monday’s series opener due to a left leg issue. Jake Cronenworth takes over at the hot corner for the first time in his career with Fernando Tatis Jr. making another start at second base. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern, but that Padres are going to give Machado a little extra time off to rest and recover.
Justin Steele

CHC Starting Pitcher #35

ESPN’s Jesse Rogers reports Justin Steele (elbow) has been shut down from throwing following a setback.

Rogers added that Steele was aiming to make his season debut sometime around Memorial Day in late May, but that’s in jeopardy now. The 30-year-old left-hander has been working his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery and recently progressed to facing hitters in live batting practice sessions. There should be a more definitive timeline from the Cubs at some point soon regarding the nature of the setback.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters Spencer Strider (oblique) will be activated to start against the Rockies this weekend.

Atlanta hasn’t finalized their pitching plan for the remainder of the week, but Strider will be part of it, most likely on Sunday in place of journeyman Martín Pérez, after missing the opening five weeks of the season recovering from an oblique strain. The 27-year-old former fantasy ace shouldn’t have any workload restrictions after throwing 82 pitches during his final rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett over the weekend. It’s a challenging spot having to contend with Coors Field’s high-octane offensive environment right out of the gate, but Strider is probably going to be worth the risk for managers in deeper fantasy leagues that have been stashing him this long.
Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Juan Soto is dealing with forearm tightness.

Not good. Mendoza added that they’re hoping Soto, who is in Tuesday’s lineup at DH, will be ready to return to the outfield in the next couple days. He also noted that Soto underwent an MRI that didn’t reveal any structural damage, which is an encouraging sign. The 27-year-old generational has gone (3-for-15) with zero extra-base hits and six walks in five games since returning from the injured list last week. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but it’s a developing situation that fantasy managers should be closely monitoring.
Geraldo Perdomo

AZ Shortstop #2

Geraldo Perdomo (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Brewers.

Hard-hitting rookie Jose Fernandez takes over at shortstop again with Perdomo missing his second consecutive contest after suffering a left ankle sprain during Saturday’s showdown against the Padres in Mexico City. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone doesn’t appear ticketed for the injured list, but that could always change. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.
Luis Robert Jr.

NYM Center Fielder #88

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Luis Robert Jr. is dealing with back tightness.

Mendoza added that Robert, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s contest, isn’t scheduled to undergo imaging, but they may be forced to reconsider if he doesn’t show signs of improvement later this week. A lingering back issue would provide a logical explanation for his recent struggles as he’s hitting .164 (9-for-55) with one homer and 12 strikeouts over his last 15 games. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into the final two games of a four-game set against the Nationals.
Giancarlo Stanton

NYY Designated Hitter #27

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

As expected, Stanton hits the injured list after suffering the “mild” strain during Friday’s game against the Astros. It’s feasible this could be a short stint on the list for the 36-year-old slugger, and it’s possible — although far from a guarantee — that he’s back in the New York lineup by the early portion of May.
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.
