Rotoworld

Jordan Montgomery

AZ Starting Pitcher #52

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jordan Montgomery returned to the mound on Friday and gave up four runs in three innings out of the pen.

Montgomery left Monday’s game because of an ankle contusion. He came in with the Diamondbacks down 4-0 tonight, and the team never scored, rendering his performance moot.

Yunior Marte

CIN Relief Pitcher #43

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Reds selected the contract of RHP Yunior Marte from Triple-A Louisville.

Marte has a 5.12 ERA in 20 appearances with the Bats, striking out 26 in 19 1/3 innings. The 31-year-old hasn’t pitched in the bigs since 2024 after spending 2025 with NPB’s Chunichi Dragons. With a career 5.64 ERA, we would be surprised if Marte did more than low leverage work with the Reds.

Graham Ashcraft

CIN Relief Pitcher #23

Reds placed RHP Graham Ashcraft on the 60-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his right forearm.

Not great. Ashcraft had just one save this year but has been part of a committee in the absence of Emilio Pagán. The committee will shrink. Ashcraft’s last outing was on Monday against the Mets. The 60-day placement will have him out until at least August, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this was a longer absence than that.

Anthony Molina

ATL Relief Pitcher #61

Braves recalled RHP Anthony Molina from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Molina provides Atlanta with a fresh arm heading into Friday’s series opener against the Reds. The 24-year-old threw a pair of scoreless appearances in his season debut earlier this month. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots out of the Braves’ bullpen.

Carlos Carrasco

ATL Relief Pitcher #59

Braves designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment.

Carrasco has been jettisoned from Atlanta’s pitching staff after allowing two runs over four innings in a long relief outing against the Red Sox earlier this week. The 39-year-old is a strong bet to clear waivers and should wind up back at Triple-A Gwinnett as organizational depth until Atlanta needs him again.

Cole Henry

WSH Relief Pitcher #99

Nationals activated RHP Cole Henry from the 15-day injured list.

Henry provides Washington with some additional bullpen depth heading into Friday’s series opener against the Padres. The 26-year-old reliever is back after missing nearly seven weeks recovering from a rotator cuff strain. He made seven appearances for the Nationals prior to hitting the injured list last month.

Dairon Blanco

FA Center Fielder
Rangers released OF Dairon Blanco.

Blanco heads to free agency after hitting .230/.324/.295 with seven steals in 73 plate appearances over 33 games for Triple-A Round Rock this season. The 33-year-old veteran outfielder hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since getting into nine games for the Royals last year. He should attract some interest as emergency outfield depth and a potential late-inning speed and defensive replacement on a postseason roster.

Coleman Crow

MIL Starting Pitcher #57

Coleman Crow will start on Friday against the Astros.

It’s a tough spot, especially in hitter-friendly Daikin Park, but Crow will get a chance to replace an injured Logan Henderson in Milwaukee’s rotation. The 25-year-old rookie has done a nice job in a pair of spot starts this season, posting a strong 2.61 ERA and 7/1 K/BB ratio across 10 1/3 innings of work. He’s a name to watch as a potential streaming option in deeper mixed leagues.

Kody Funderburk

MIN Relief Pitcher #57

Twins recalled LHP Kody Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul.

Funderburk gets the call to fortify Minnesota’ bullpen heading into Friday’s series opener against the Pirates. The 29-year-old southpaw has posted a solid 2.81 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 10/13 K/BB ratio over 16 innings in the big leagues this season.

Cody Laweryson

MIN Relief Pitcher #66

Twins activated RHP Cody Laweryson from the 15-day injured list.

Laweryson returns to Minnesota’s relief corps following a seven-week absence recovering from a forearm strain. The 28-year-old righty has posted a serviceable 4.26 ERA and 8/2 K/BB ratio across 6 1/3 innings for the Twins this season.

Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Twins placed LHP Kendry Rojas on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

No surprise after Rojas was scratched from Wednesday’s start against the White Sox due to soreness on the outer side of his elbow. The 23-year-old southpaw will undergo imaging to rule out any potential structural damage. There should be a definitive return timeline at some in early June.
