Navarreto passed through waivers without interest from other teams after being designated for assignment by Miami on Saturday. The 25-year-old will remain with the Marlins organization for now.

Roberts added that Ohtani has begun incorporating breaking balls into his recent flat-ground throwing sessions, which does represent a step forward. There’s little incentive for Los Angeles to rush his throwing progression, but it seems like there’s a decent chance he’s pitching in game action at some point later this season.

Glasnow was cleared to begin ramping up his throwing program last week and appears close to throwing a full-fledged bullpen session at some point later this week. The 31-year-old fantasy ace is still several weeks away from returning to the Dodgers’ injury-depleted rotation, but he’s starting to slowly work his way back.

Boone added that Chisholm is likely going to need a minor league rehab assignment before returning to New York’s lineup. The dynamic 26-year-old has been on the shelf since early May recovering from three separate tears in his right oblique, which figures to keep him out until at least mid-June. There’s a chance he beats that return estimate, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back for a couple weeks.

Wow. Buehler was tossed by home plate umpire Mike Estabrook for arguing balls and strikes during the middle of Juan Soto’s third-inning at-bat. Red Sox manager Alex Cora was also ejected as well. The 30-year-old righty threw just 52 pitches (29 strikes) over 2 1/3 scoreless innings during his return from the injured list. He struck out four and only issued one walk. His unexpected early exit puts an incredible strain on Boston’s already overworked bullpen and could trigger some roster moves ahead of Wednesday’s series finale.

Trout added that he didn’t experience any soreness after jogging on the field on Monday and his final hurdle before getting back into game action will be running the bases, which figures to happen at some point in the coming days. The 33-year-old superstar is working his way back from a bone bruise in his surgically-repaired left knee and it’s theoretically possible he’s back in Los Angeles’ lineup at some point before the end of May.

The Phillies are aiming for roughly 75 pitches over five or six innings for Painter’s third outing at the Triple-A level continues to gradually build up his workload and stamina in anticipation of a midseason arrival in the majors. The 22-year-old boasts true top-of-the-rotation stuff and figures to make an immediate impact for fantasy purposes once he reaches Philadelphia.

Roden struggled to a .178 batting average over 28 games at the outset of the season before being demoted back on May 7. The 25-year-old has proven that he can control the strike zone and tear the cover off the ball at the Triple-A level, hitting .386/.460/.682 with three homers in 10 games since his demotion. There isn’t a path to everyday at-bats in Toronto at the moment, but he’s going to get another opportunity in the near future.

Jump made quite a statement in his second Double-A outing as he continues cementing his status as one of this season’s fastest-rising pitching prospects for dynasty purposes. The 22-year-old southpaw has reeled off 12 consecutive scoreless frames with a 14/3 K/BB ratio since posting a sparkling 2.32 ERA and 45/5 K/BB ratio across 31 innings (six appearances, five starts) at High-A Lansing to open the year. He’s a name dynasty managers should already know, but he’s going to be a household name in a few months if he keeps this up.

Peña was involved in an ugly collision at first base during Sunday’s game at Low-A Carolina and will get some extra time off to rest and recover out of an abundance of caution. The 18-year-old prodigy has been one of this season’s fastest-rising prospects from a dynasty standpoint as one of the Carolina League’s top hitters, slashing .327/.400/.505 with three homers and 21 steals through 25 games.

Crowe returns stateside after spending last year pitching in Korea for the Kia Tigers. The 30-year-old righty augments Philadelphia’s organizational pitching depth. He went from back-end starting pitcher to effective high-leverage specialist for the Pirates, making 91 appearances (26 starts) from 2021-2023.
