  • COL Starting Pitcher #26
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Rockies placed LHP Austin Gomber on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 24, with left shoulder soreness.
    Gomber was able to throw 3 2/3 innings in a Cactus League game on Saturday, so his return should be right around the corner. Bradley Blalock might get one turn in his place the first time a fifth starter is needed.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #81

    Luis Gil (lat) will start a throwing program on Sunday.
    It’s going to be several weeks of building up arm strength and stamina in bullpen sessions before Gil is ready for a minor league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old reigning AL Rookie of the Year is working his way back from a high-grade lat strain that he suffered back in spring training. He’s not expected to be an option for New York’s rotation again until at least some point in June.
    Pirates' Heaney worth a fantasy rotation spot
    Eric Samulski pops the hood on Andrew Heaney's impressive start for the Pittsburgh Pirates to explain why he's worth adding to fantasy rosters for spot-starts in good matchups.
  • LAA 1st Baseman #18
    Nolan Schanuel (knee) is absent from the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Twins.
    It’s an encouraging sign that Schanuel hasn’t been put on the injured list yet, but that could still happen prior to first pitch of Sunday’s series finale at Target Field. It’ll be veteran J.D. Davis at first base in his absence. The 23-year-old first baseman is slated to undergo additional testing after fouling a ball off his right knee during Saturday’s showdown. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment.
  • LAA Right Fielder #27
    Mike Trout is leading off on Sunday against the Twins.
    Angels manager Ron Washington is trying anything to generate a spark as they’ve been outscored 16-5 through the first two games of this three-game series at Target Field. Trout is hitting just .177 through 26 games, but he leads the American League with nine round-trippers during that span. He’s also chipped in a pair of stolen bases, just for good measure.
  • KC Shortstop #12
    Royals recalled INF Nick Loftin from Triple-A Omaha.
    Loftin heads to the big leagues prior to Sunday’s series finale against the Astros with Tyler Tolbert landing on the bereavement list. The 26-year-old has gotten off to an excellent start at the Triple-A level and might be able to stick around past the next few days.
  • KC Center Fielder #2
    Royals placed INF Tyler Tolbert on the bereavement list.
    Tolbert has played sparingly for Kansas City since being called up back on March 31. The 27-year-old speedster can miss anywhere between three and seven games, under league rules.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #54
    Mets selected the contract of RHP José Ureña from Triple-A Syracuse.
    Ureña was in camp earlier this spring as a non-roster invitee, but failed to make New York’s season-opening roster. The 33-year-old journeyman gets the call to the big leagues ahead of Sunday’s showdown against the Nationals with A.J. Minter landing on the shelf with a lat strain.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher #33
    Mets placed LHP A.J. Minter on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain.
    Minter hits the injured list after exiting Saturday’s relief appearance against the Nationals with left triceps tightness. No word yet on how much time the 31-year-old southpaw is going to miss, but he’ll presumably undergo imaging this weekend to determine the severity of the injury. His absence is a hit to New York’s high-leverage depth.
  • WSH Shortstop #14
    Paul DeJong (face) will undergo surgery on Monday to repair his sinuses and orbital plate damage.
    DeJong needed to wait for the swelling to subside before surgeons could address the damage from being hit in the face by a pitch back on April 15. The 31-year-old is out indefinitely for now, but there’s a strong possibility he’s able to return later this year.
  • TOR Left Fielder #8
    Jonatan Clase will serve as the 27th man for Sunday’s doubleheader against the Yankees.
    Clase gives Toronto an extra bench bat for Sunday’s twin bill in New York. The 22-year-old outfielder has posted a strong .852 OPS with 13 steals in 22 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo. He’ll presumably head back to the minors following Sunday’s nightcap.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #43
    Blue Jays transferred RHP Ryan Burr to the 60-day injured list.
    Burr opened the year on the shelf with shoulder inflammation and won’t be eligible to return until late May. The procedural move frees up a spot on Toronto’s 40-man roster.
