Rotoworld Player News Headlines

All Player News

Gavin Lux

TB Left Fielder #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Gavin Lux (shoulder) could return to the Rays’ lineup this weekend.

Lux is hitting just .169/.329/.288 in 73 plate appearances in Triple-A with a 20/14 K/BB ratio. Lux has just a 20.5 percent hard-hit rate at Triple-A, so there doesn’t seem to be much to get excited about right now.
Shane Bieber

TOR Starting Pitcher #57

Shane Bieber (elbow) reportedly “looked sharp” during a two-up bullpen on Wednesday.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the plan is for Bieber to throw another two-up bullpen this weekend and then face live hitters next week. That would mean that, if everything goes according to plan, Bieber may begin a rehab assignment in the middle of May and could push for a return to the Blue Jays’ rotation in June. There are still a lot of hurdles left to clear.
Max Scherzer

TOR Starting Pitcher #31

Max Scherzer said, “his forearm isn’t responding the way he hoped.”

The veteran said he plans to talk to more doctors and “figure things out from there.” His ankle is progressing well, but the forearm is a far bigger concern for a starting pitcher. As of now, it doesn’t seem like his return is imminent.
Luis Arraez

SF 2nd Baseman #1

Luis Arraez remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday with hand soreness.

The Giants are off on Thursday, so the Giants will sit Arraez for the second straight game in the hopes that he’s ready to go on Friday. Casey Schmitt will start at second base and bat third with Bryce Eldridge in the lineup at designated hitter.
Erik Miller

SF Relief Pitcher #68

Erik Miller (back) is throwing a bullpen on Wednesday and will pitch for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Miller was just placed on the injured list on Monday with a lower back strain, but he is already throwing and will be out on a rehab assignment quickly. He should return to the Giants when first eligible next week, which may put a little bit of a damper on the excitement about Caleb Kilian in fantasy leagues. Those two could share saves as part of a committee in San Francisco.
Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell will make a rehab start on Saturday for Low-A Ontario

Snell threw 38 pitches in his previous rehab start, so he should be up over 50 pitches in this one. Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reported that this could be Snell’s last rehab start, but that would mean that Snell would likely be around 60 pitches when he makes his season debut with the Dodgers. This is a situation to monitor after his start this weekend.
Alek Manoah

LAA Starting Pitcher #47

Angels activated RHP Alek Manoah (finger) from the 15-day injured list.

Manoah will be active out of the bullpen on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen if he’s an option to take Yusei Kikuchi’s (shoulder) place in the rotation. The 28-year-old Manoah has been working his way back from a finger contusion he suffered in spring training and will pitch in his first MLB innings since 2024 when he does get into a game.
Jim Jarvis

ATL Shortstop

Braves recalled SS Jim Jarvis from Triple-A Gwinnett

Jarvis was hitting .305/.418/.445 with four home runs, 25 runs scored, 20 RBI, and 15 steals in 33 Triple-A games. The 25-year-old will also start at shortstop and bat ninth on Wednesday in his MLB debut. With Mauricio Dubon now playing the outfield while Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is on the IL, there is a chance for Jarvis to carve out some playing time. However, Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is also close to a return.
Garrett Mitchell

MIL Center Fielder #5

Garrett Mitchell has been scratched from Wednesday’s starting lineup against the Cardinals.

There’s no word yet on why. Sal Frelick is now leading off, Jackson Chourio moves to center field, and Tyler Black is in the lineup in left field.
Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff “had a minor procedure yesterday to drain fluid from his shoulder.”

Updating a previous item, it seems that the plan for Woodruff to begin his throwing routine on Saturday is an optimistic one and will now depend on how his shoulder responds to the minor procedure. Brewers manager Pat Murphy believes that “Woodruff will only need a couple of bullpens before he rejoins the rotation,” but this all feels very precarious to us, given his injury history and the need for fluid to be drained.
