    Astros signed INF/OF Greg Jones to a minor league contract.
    Jones was released by the White Sox in the early portion of May, and the 27-year-old will give the Astros some versatile depth in the minors. Houston will need to add the former first-round pick to the 40-man roster in order to promote him to the active roster.
    Dodgers, Padres lead NL West champion best bets
    Brad Thomas and Vaughn Dalzell look to the future, analyzing why the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres lead their best bets to win the NL West.
  • NYY 2nd Baseman #90
    Jorbit Vivas hit a solo homer in a 1-0 win for the Yankees on Thursday over the Rangers.
    The homer for Vivas was not only the only run for either team Thursday, but it was the first MLB homer of the 24-year-old’s career. The infielder has not excelled with the bat in his first taste of MLB action as seen in a slash of .182/.270/.303, but you can’t take this moment away from him, and you shouldn’t try, either.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #30
    Luke Weaver hurled a scoreless ninth to pick up a save Thursday against teh Rangers.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17
    Nathan Eovaldi allowed just a run over six innings, but still picked up a loss against the Yankees on Thursday.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #55
    Carlos Rodon went six scoreless innings and struck out eight in a win over the Rangers on Thursday.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #54
    Thursday’s game between the Orioles and Red Sox has been postponed due to inclimate weather.
    The game will be made up Friday as part of a split doubleheader, with the first game starting at 1:35 p.m. ET, and the second game scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Lucas Giolito and Cade Povich were the scheduled starters for Thursday, and likely will start one of the two games Friday.
  • TEX Shortstop #5
    Corey Seager (hamstring) is at least a week away from being able to return to the lineup for the Rangers according to manager Bruce Bochy.
    Seager was placed on the injured list retroactive to May 11 with his hamstring strain, and the 31-year-old won’t be able be activated this week. It sounds like he could be available before the start of June, but fantasy managers are going to have to remain patient with the left-handed hitting shortstop.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #47
    Rockies recalled RHP Juan Mejia from Triple-A Albuquerque.
    Mejia will get the Rockies an extra arm in the bullpen after taking Chase Dollander’s roster spot, with Dollander hitting the IL due to forearm tightness. Mejia will likely be the arm that goes back to Triple-A whenever Colorado adds an arm to replace Dollander in the rotation.
  • COL Starting Pitcher #32
    Rockies placed RHP Chase Dollander on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 19, with right forearm tightness
    Hollander will obviously miss at least two weeks while he recovers from the tightness he must have picked up during his outing Sunday, but there’s no timeline available, and forearm issues often lead to longer stints on the injured list. Juan Mejia has been recalled from Triple-A to take Hollander’s roster spot. Colorado should provide a timeline and severity of the talented 23-year-old’s injury shortly.
  • LAA Shortstop #2
    Luis Rengifo is not in the starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Athletics.
    It appears to just be a day of rest for Rengifo. The 28-year-old will sit with Tim Anderson handling second base and hitting seventh.
