Ronny Mauricio

NYM Shortstop #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ronny Mauricio underwent a cleanup procedure on his right knee earlier this week.

Mauricio tore his ACL last offseason while playing in the Dominican Winter League and went back under the knife this week to remove some scar tissue in his surgically-repaired knee, which ostensibly eliminates any shot of him returning this season. Barring any additional setbacks, he should be fully healthy in time for spring training.

Jackson Chourio

MIL Left Fielder #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jackson Chourio went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and two walks as the Brewers trounced the Giants 16-2 on Monday.

After getting a rare day off on Sunday, Chourio came through with his first three-RBI game of the year. It’s also a rare multi-walk game. He had six of those as a rookie but only three last year and this is his first of 2026. Chourio is hitting .276/.336/.418 in 107 plate appearances since returning from a fractured hand.

Shane Drohan

MIL Relief Pitcher #55

Shane Drohan allowed two runs over four innings Monday in his start versus the Giants.

The runs came on a Matt Chapman homer that was nearly taken away by Jackson Chourio in center. It was a homer in just eight of the 30 ballparks. Since he was pulled at 68 pitches after spending the last five weeks in the pen, he didn’t get a win in the rout. That instead went to Chad Patrick after a scoreless fifth. Drohan will probably make another start Saturday in Colorado, but he might return to the pen after that.

Landen Roupp

SF Starting Pitcher #65

Landen Roupp surrendered eight runs and walked five over four innings Monday versus the Brewers.

Roupp was dealing with back tightness during the outing, though he kept it hidden from Tony Vitello and crew until after he departed. His velocity was fine initially, but his average sinker went from 94.2 mph in the first to 91.8 mph in the fourth. The loss makes Roupp 5-6 with a 4.22 ERA. If the back tightness goes away, he’d be in line to start Saturday against the Cubs.

Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang tripled, doubled and walked twice before coming out of Monday’s rout of the Giants.

After a stellar April, Turang came in at .231/.355/.363 with three homers and two steals last month. Tonight might be an indication that his June will be better. His triple was hit 396 feet to center and took a long carom off the wall. He had busted it out of the box, there’s a chance he could have had an inside-the-parker.

Luis Rengifo

MIL 3rd Baseman #13

Luis Rengifo went 2-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored against the Giants on Monday.

Rengifo scored three runs in a game for the first time since 2024 and fifth time in his career. It’s as many runs as he scored during the entire month of May. He hit .217/.280/.217 in 75 plate appearances last month, and he came into tonight with just a .520 OPS for the year.

Justin Lawrence

MIN Relief Pitcher #61
Twins acquired RHP Justin Lawrence from the Pirates for cash.

Lawrence heads to Minnesota after struggling to an inflated 5.32 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 25/12 K/BB ratio across 22 innings for the Pirates this season. The 31-year-old middle reliever is a sinker/sweeper combo arm with decent velocity but he doesn’t miss enough bats or possess the pinpoint control to envision pitching in high-leverage spots at this stage of his career.

Tristan Gray

MIN 3rd Baseman #4

Tristan Gray contributed a grand slam and a sac fly Monday in the Twins’ 9-6 takedown of the White Sox.

Gray’s fourth homer of the year, hit 384 feet to right, was also his second grand slam. He’s 12th on the Twins with 108 plate appearances but fifth with his 23 RBI. The 30-year-old is hitting .237/.290/.392 while functioning as the Twins’ starting shortstop of late. Some would prefer Kaelen Culpepper in that role right now, but Gray’s trying to prove that there’s no reason for a switch.

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan yielded four runs in six innings and struck out nine Monday in a victory over the White Sox.

Despite having his best velocity of the year — he averaged 94.6 mph with his fastball — Ryan gave up homers to Miguel Vargas and Andrew Benintendi, plus another eight hard-hit balls. But he did miss some bats, too, generating 13 whiffs with a 33 percent CSW. He’s 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA, and he’ll get to face the Royals at home next time out.

David Sandlin

CWS Starting Pitcher #54

David Sandlin was lit up for eight runs in four-plus innings by the Twins on Monday.

Sandlin gave up eight hits, walked four and struck out four. Tristan Gray’s grand slam in the fourth was the big blow, but Sandlin then retired none of the three batters he faced in the fifth. Tyler Davis came in with the bases loaded and allowed everyone to score in another four-run inning for the Twins. Sandlin, who beat the Twins in his major league debut last week, now has an 8.10 ERA after two starts. If he stays in the rotation, he’ll probably face the Phillies on Sunday.

Miguel Vargas

CWS 3rd Baseman #20

Miguel Vargas collected two homers, a double and four RBI against the Twins on Monday.

Vargas’s 383-foot double in the first would have been a homer in 11 ballparks. In Target Field, though, it probably would have been caught by a plus center fielder. The Twins, though, had Kody Clemens out there with Byron Buxton limited to DHing. Vargas now has 15 homers in 257 plate appearances this season. That’s one fewer than he had in 569 plate appearances last year and two more than he had in 591 career plate appearances prior to 2025.
