  • INT Relief Pitcher

    Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Padres are close to an agreement with Korean right-hander Woo-Suk Go.
    Heyman notes that the 25-year-old hurler is expected to step in as the Padres’ closer. Go posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 59/22 K/BB ratio across 44 innings in his 44 appearances for the LG Twins during the 2023 campaign. Go has compiled 139 saves over the past five seasons, so he has plenty of experience in the ninth inning. If he does wind up closing, he’ll gain immediate relevancy for fantasy purposes, while the value of Robert Suarez and Yuki Matsui would take a big hit.
  • SD Starting Pitcher #11

    Yu Darvish (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Monday.
    There haven’t been a ton of updates concerning Darvish’s potential return timeline lately. The 38-year-old reportedly touched 90 mph in his latest throwing session and is slated for another bullpen session later this week. At this point, his return to San Diego’s rotation doesn’t appear imminent.
    Blue Jays getting boost with Gimenez returning
    With Andres Gimenez rejoining the Blue Jays lineup, Eric Samulski still sees value with the second baseman, particularly in stolen bases, and breaks down how his return affects the current lineup.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #53
    Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will undergo X-rays after being struck on the right elbow by a comebacker during Tuesday’s minor league rehab start for Triple-A Nashville.
    Woodruff simply can’t catch a break. The 32-year-old former fantasy ace is heading back to Milwaukee to undergo additional testing after his latest rehab outing was cut short when he was hit by a 108-mph comebacker with two outs in the second inning. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point later this week.
  • BAL Left Fielder #17
    Colton Cowser is in center field and batting sixth on Tuesday against the Mariners.
    Cowser, who was activated from the injured list earlier this week, is back in Baltimore’s lineup for the first time since March 30 when he suffered a fractured left thumb on a head-first slide into first base.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #38
    Kirby Yates (hamstring) will face hitters on Wednesday in a live batting practice session.
    With Tanner Scott continuing to struggle, Yates could wind up factoring into the closing mix for Los Angeles when he’s ready to return from the injured list in a couple weeks.
  • MIN 3rd Baseman #23
    Royce Lewis has been dropped to eighth in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Athletics.
    Lewis is going through it at the dish of late. He’s hitless over his last eight games (0-for-28) and is batting just .127 (9-for-71) with one homer over 21 games this season. The Twins are going to let him work through things at the bottom of the order for now.
  • STL Relief Pitcher #68
    Cardinals signed LHP Tyler Matzek to a minor league contract.
    Matzek was a key cog in Atlanta’s run to a World Series title back in 2021 before injuries derailed his career. The 34-year-old southpaw made seven relief appearances earlier this year for the Yankees before being jettisoned from New York’s 40-man roster and electing free agency.
  • SF Relief Pitcher #64
    Giants recalled RHP Sean Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento.
    Hjelle returns to San Francisco’s bullpen mix ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Padres with Jordan Hicks hitting the injured list with toe inflammation. The 28-year-old righty will be making his season debut when he gets into a game. He made a career-high 58 relief appearances last year for the Giants.
  • SF Starting Pitcher #12
    Giants placed RHP Jordan Hicks on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 2, with right toe inflammation.
    Hicks was moved to San Francisco’s bullpen back in mid-May and has looked sharp in four relief outings since the transition. The hard-throwing 28-year-old righty should return before the end of June.
  • SD 1st Baseman #30
    Gavin Sheets (head) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Giants.
    Sheets passed all concussion-related tests after a terrifying-looking collision with the center-field wall over the weekend. The 29-year-old slugger is back at DH and batting fifth on Tuesday night following a one-game absence.
  • SF Left Fielder #31
    LaMonte Wade Jr. (hand) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.
    Wade gets some extra time off to rest and recover after being hit by a pitch during Monday’s series opener against San Diego. It’ll be Casey Schmitt filling in at first base on Tuesday night.
