  • LAA Relief Pitcher #44

    Ben Joyce picked up a save while working 1 1/3 scoreless innings against the Mets on Saturday.
    Congrats to Joyce — and fantasy managers — on his first MLB save. The hard-throwing 23-year-old didn’t allow a hit while getting four outs while picking up a strikeout and throwing 13-of-15 pitches for strikes. On that final pitch, he hit 104.7 mph on the radar gun. Joyce has the potential to be a fantasy star, and this scoreless work lowers his ERA to just 1.82. He may not see a ton of saves for the rest of the year for reasons beyond his control, however, which is very frustrating.
  • HOU 1st Baseman #8

    Christian Walker is in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies.
    Walker is at first base and batting fifth after missing a game over the weekend due to a minor leg issue. The 35-year-old veteran slugger has gone just 5-for-23 at the plate over his last seven contests.
    Is there larger issue with Crochet's performance?
    Eric Samulski discusses Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet's disastrous outing against the Twins and whether fantasy managers should be worried about his performance moving forward.
  • BOS Center Fielder #3
    Ceddanne Rafaela is on the bench for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.
    Rafaela takes a seat following seven consecutive starts in center field with righty Mick Abel toeing the rubber for Minnesota. It’ll be Jarren Duran taking over in center field. The 25-year-old speedster is hitting .318 (7-for-22) over his last seven games.
  • DET Right Fielder #18
    Jahmai Jones is absent from Tuesday’s lineup against the Royals due to illness.
    It’s a tough break for Jones since he likely would’ve been in the lineup to face Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. The 28-year-old utility specialist should be ready to go once he’s feeling better later this week.
  • AZ Starting Pitcher #29
    Diamondbacks activated RHP Merrill Kelly from the 15-day injured list.
    Kelly, who was supposed to be Arizona’s Opening Day starter this season, will take the ball on Tuesday night against the Orioles for his season debut. His return pushes Brandon Pfaadt to the bullpen until further notice. The 37-year-old veteran right-hander offers some appeal as a back-end rotation stabilizer in deeper fantasy formats after registering a strong pristine 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 167/48 K/BB ratio across 184 innings last year between the Diamondbacks and Rangers
  • AZ Catcher #66
    Diamondbacks selected the contract of C Aramis Garcia from Triple-A Reno.
    The cosmic ideal of a journeyman emergency catcher, Garcia provides Arizona with some additional depth behind James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo while starter Gabriel Moreno is on the shelf with an oblique strain.
  • AZ Catcher #14
    Diamondbacks placed C Gabriel Moreno on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 11, with a left oblique strain.
    It turns out Moreno was dealing with an oblique strain when the Diamondbacks said he was dealing with lower back soreness. It’s a bit unclear how much time the 26-year-old backstop is going to miss, but oblique issues can be tricky matters. It’ll be James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo handling the catching duties in his absence.
  • AZ 1st Baseman #26
    Diamondbacks transferred 1B/OF Pavin Smith to the 60-day injured list.
    Smith has been on the shelf since late March recovering from elbow inflammation. The procedural move opens up a spot on Arizona’s 40-man roster for emergency catcher Aramis Garcia.
  • BOS Right Fielder #19
    Roman Anthony is back in left field on Tuesday against the Twins.
    Anthony finds himself in left field for just the third time in Boston’s last 12 contests due to some highly-publicized throwing issues. He’s been a liability when he’s out there but the Red Sox don’t have much of a choice given their present roster limitations.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #29
    Red Sox transferred RHP Johan Oviedo to the 60-day injured list.
    The procedural move frees up a spot on Boston’s 40-man roster for rookie Jack Anderson. Oviedo hit the shelf with a flexor strain earlier this month and will be sidelined until at least early June, if not longer.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #99
    Spencer Strider (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with High-A Rome.
    Strider is expected to throw roughly 40-45 pitches during his rehab debut. The 27-year-old former fantasy ace will need at least a handful of tune-up outings before he’s ready to make his season debut, likely at some point in early May. He’s been on the shelf recovering from an oblique strain since the late stages of spring training.
