Rotoworld

Kyle Farmer

COL 2nd Baseman #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rockies signed INF Kyle Farmer to a one-year, $3.25 million contract with a mutual option for 2026.

Farmer officially joins the Rockies after hitting .214 with a .646 OPS for the Twins in 2024. The 34-year-old can play all over the field, and should serve in a utility role — perhaps as the starting second baseman depending on the rest of the offseason for Colorado — but his fantasy value is significantly limited even if he’s a regular.

Mitchell Parker

WSH Starting Pitcher #70

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nationals recalled LHP Mitchell Parker from Triple-A Rochester.

He’ll replace Jackson Rutledge after Rutledge was optioned to Triple-A by Washington on Monday. The Nationals don’t have an off day until April 27th, so having Parker up could enable them to use him as a spot starter or perhaps provide length out of their bullpen over these 13 days. In three Triple-A starts this season, Parker has allowed nine runs on 17 hits in 13 1/3 innings while striking out 16 and walking just three.

Rolddy Muñoz

ATL Starting Pitcher #67

Braves recalled RHP Rolddy Muñoz from Triple-A Gwinnett

Muñoz was recalled on Monday and allowed three runs on five hits in two innings. He’ll head back to Triple-A and will be an option for Atlanta again in the coming weeks.

Hayden Harris

ATL Relief Pitcher #79

Braves recalled LHP Hayden Harris from Triple-A Gwinnett

Harris has allowed three runs on two hits in 5 2/3 innings of relief this season with a 7/6 K/BB ratio. The walks will obviously be something that he needs to remedy going forward.

Jared Jones

PIT Starting Pitcher #17

Pirates manager Don Kelly said the team is “looking end of May, beginning of June” for Jared Jones (elbow) to return.

Intriguingly, Kelly also said, there “hasn’t been any huge setbacks to that” timeline. We might be reading into the wording too much, but it sounds like Kelly might be insinuating that there was a minor setback for Jones, who is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and isn’t eligible to return before May 25th. Regardless, we know Jones is now with the team in Pittsburgh and throwing bullpens, so he could begin a minor league rehab assignment by the end of the month.

Colt Emerson

SEA Shortstop #85

Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto said SS prospect Colt Emerson is “as close as they come” to getting an MLB opportunity.

Dipoto also said that Colt was “trending towards a 20-year-old debut,” and then immediately mentioned that Emerson doesn’t turn 21 until July, so he understood the implications of what he was saying. The Mariners will likely have to figure out what to do with J.P. Crawford in order to make room for Emerson, but it sounds like the 20-year-old should be up before the summer truly heats up.

Drew Thorpe

CWS Starting Pitcher #33

Drew Thorpe (elbow) has been throwing bullpens and is “doing well.”

Thorpe had Tommy John surgery last year and then dealt with some tendinitis during spring training, which delayed his return. However, the 25-year-old has gotten back into his bullpen routine and has reportedly been looking good. He could begin a rehab assignment in the coming weeks. It will likely be a lengthy rehab, but perhaps Thorpe becomes an option for the White Sox this summer.

Sean Murphy

ATL Catcher #12

Braves manager Walt Weiss said Sean Murphy (hip) will catch three times this week with High-A Rome.

The specific plan calls for Murphy to catch four innings on Tuesday, five innings on Thursday, then catch again on Saturday, and DH on Sunday. All of that makes it sound like we could be getting Sean Murphy back on the Atlanta roster sooner rather than later.

Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani had a bandage on the back of his right shoulder where he was hit by a pitch Monday, but he’s expected to be fine to make his start Wednesday.

Ohtani was left with a bruise by the David Peterson offering, but he finished the game just fine. He should be in Tuesday’s lineup, and he’s slated to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Mets.

Tanner Scott

LAD Relief Pitcher #66

Tanner Scott worked a scoreless ninth against the Mets on Monday to help preserve a Dodgers’ win.

Scott allowed a leadoff single, but he was able to get the next three hitters in order to keep the Dodgers in front. It was a non-save situation, but Scott has looked good in 2026 with a 1.17 ERA over nine innings and an 8/0 K/BB to pair with it.

Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages hit a three-run homer to help the Dodgers to a win over the Mets on Sunday.

Pages continues his hot April with a three-run shot in the third inning off David Peterson that gave the Dodgers a 4-0 lead and Pages his fifth homer of the campaign. As it was his only hit, his batting average dropped to .417 to pair with a .453 on-base percentage that also plummeted. Obviously Pages is due for some regression, but the 25-year-old is clearly talented enough to have some hot runs throughout the 2026 campaign.
