  • FA Shortstop

    Padres signed OF Ray-Patrick Didder to a minor league contract.
    The 25-year-old spent the first seven seasons of his minor league career in the Braves’ organization. In 2019, he slashed .203/.332/.285 with four homers, 23 RBI and 28 stolen bases in 114 games at Double-A Mississippi. He’ll serve as outfield depth in the minor leagues for the Padres.
  • MIN Shortstop #4

    The Twins are expected to activate Carlos Correa off the 7-day concussion injured list Friday.
    Correa has reportedly made marked improvement, and the Twins have already announced that Ryan Fitzgerald has been demoted to Triple-A to make room. Minnesota may take some extra precautions, but all signs point to Correa being in the lineup Friday against the Royals in Minneapolis.
    Dodgers, Padres lead NL West champion best bets
    Brad Thomas and Vaughn Dalzell look to the future, analyzing why the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres lead their best bets to win the NL West.
  • MIN 2nd Baseman #53
    Twins optioned INF Ryan Fitzgerald to Triple-A St. Paul.
    Fitzgerald gets booted from the active roster, and the Twins are expected to fill that roster spot with Carlos Correa (head) coming off the 7-day concussion injured list. Fitzgerald will likely be back as a bench option at some point.
  • ATH Shortstop #5
    Jacob Wilson (forearm) is hitting second and playing shortstop against the Angels on Thursday.
    It was just a one-game absence for Wilson after leaving Tuesday’s contest with a forearm bruise. The impressive rookie shortstop is back at it to square off against Tyler Anderson and the Angels’ bullpen on Thursday. Max Schuemann remains in the lineup at second base, so Luis Urias will get the day off.
  • ATH Catcher #23
    Shea Langeliers is not in the lineup for Thursday’s bout against the Angels.
    Langeliers will get a day of maintenance in the series finale against the Angels. Jhonny Pereda will handle catching duties and hit ninth in Langeliers’ absence.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #68
    Mariners activated RHP George Kirby off the 15-day injured list.
    Kirby will be making his season debut Thursday against the Astros after missing the first two months of the season with inflammation in his shoulder. He’s been one of the best fantasy options in baseball when healthy, and while there may be some rust to kick off even with three rehab starts, he’s absolutely worthy of fantasy consideration beginning with this outing against Houston.
  • SEA Relief Pitcher #59
    Mariners optioned RHP Troy Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma.
    Taylor gets booted from the roster to make room for George Kirby, as Kirby is making his 2025 debut after missing the first two months of the season with shoulder inflammation. Taylor has been ineffective in his limited time in 2025, and likely will just be an up-and-down arm this year.
  • COL 2nd Baseman #39
    Thairo Estrada (wrist) is beginning his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque.
    Estrada has been sidelined since March 21st with a fractured wrist, so he remains on schedule with his recovery. He has been hitting high-end velocity in batting practice and will now likely need multiple weeks on this rehab assignment to get his timing and rhythm back. If all goes well, he could return to the Rockies lineup in 2-3 weeks and would be worth an add in most formats for his modest power and speed upside.
  • Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) is beginning his rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League.
    Encarnacion-Strand has been out since April 17th with inflammation in his lower back. The 25-year-old was hitting just .158/.183/.298 in 60 plate appearances this season, so the Reds aren’t likely to rush him back. He’ll take a few weeks to work his way back up to Triple-A and then hopefully the big leagues by something in the middle of June.
  • COL 1st Baseman #4
    Michael Toglia is not in the lineup for the Rockies on Thursday against the Phillies.
    This is now the second game in a row in which Togia is on the bench, and his third in the last six games for Colorado. The 26-year-old has plenty of raw power, but he’s hitting just .205/.272/.367 with a nearly 39 percent strikeout rate this season. He’s hard to roster in most fantasy leagues with that profile and only six home runs. Kyle Farmer will play first base against left-hander Ranger Suarez while Tyler Freeman is in right field and Aaron Schunk starts at second base.
  • SD Shortstop #2
    Xander Bogaerts is not in the starting lineup for the Padres on Thursday against the Blue Jays.
    It’s a routine day off for the veteran with Jose Iglesias playing shortstop and batting eighth. Bogaerts has gotten off to a slow start this season and is hitting .241/.329/.362 in 17 games in May with two home runs and 12 RBI. He has stolen four bases over that stretch and has a solid 12/9 K/BB ratio, so the plate discipline and speed remain there.
