  • PIT Center Fielder #22

    Despite homering Sunday, Andrew McCutchen is on the bench Monday for the second time in three games.
    The Pirates likely are better off using Jack Suwinski over McCutchen against righties, especially since it means improving the outfield defense. (Bryan Reynolds is DHing for the second time in three days.) Still, it’s surprising they’re doing it often already. McCutchen didn’t look great this spring, but he has four hard-hit balls and a couple of walks in 13 plate appearances thus far.
  • SF Shortstop #49

    Tyler Fitzgerald was scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Rangers with a chest contusion.
    Fitzgerald was playing second base and batting eighth in the original lineup. It’ll be rookie Christian Koss taking over at the keystone in his place. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
    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.
  • STL Catcher #48
    Ivan Herrera (knee) is aiming to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday.
    Herrera caught a bullpen session on Saturday and is aiming to begin a minor league rehab assignment by the end of next week. The 24-year-old backstop was originally expected to miss roughly one month after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee back in early April. It appears there’s a decent shot he’ll rejoin the Cardinals’ lineup at some point in early May.
  • COL Shortstop #14
    Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters Ezequiel Tovar is still 7-10 days from a potential return from the injured list.
    Tovar hit the injured list last weekend with a left hip contusion, but figures to be ready to rejoin Colorado’s lineup at some point in early May. He’s gotten off to an extremely slow start at the dish, hitting .212 (14-for-66) with zero homers, four RBI and two steals in 16 games.
  • TEX Right Fielder #53
    Adolis García is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Giants.
    It’s García’s first day off this season after making 26 consecutive starts in right field. The 32-year-old is hitting just .209/.270/.407 with four homers, 11 RBI and four steals through 100 plate appearances. It’ll be versatile Josh Smith moving over to right field on Saturday afternoon in his place.
  • CWS 3rd Baseman #25
    White Sox acquired INF Gage Workman from the Cubs for cash considerations.
    Workman won’t have to leave town after all. The 25-year-old rookie was cut loose earlier this week by the Cubs after getting into just nine games during the opening month of the season. He’ll have an opportunity to play a bit more with the rebuilding White Sox, but it’s unlikely to translate into any fantasy relevance.
  • CWS 3rd Baseman #0
    White Sox designated INF Nick Maton for assignment.
    Maton has been booted from Chicago’s active roster to make room for newly-acquired rookie Gage Workman after batting .173 (9-for-52) with two homers and four RBI in 23 games. The 28-year-old infielder figures to make it through waivers unclaimed and will likely hit the open market in search of a new opportunity.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #46
    Angels recalled LHP Jake Eder from Triple-A Salt Lake.
    Eder will join Los Angeles’ bullpen mix ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Twins. The 26-year-old southpaw was acquired last month from the White Sox. He was a notable pitching prospect a couple years ago, but has struggled in the upper minors the last few seasons since coming back from Tommy John surgery back in 2021.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher
    Angels selected the contract of RHP José Fermin from Double-A Rocket City.
    Fermin makes the jump directly to the majors, skipping Triple-A altogether, after posting a sparkling 1.13 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 15/1 K/BB ratio across eight innings (six appearances) for Double-A Rocket City. This qualifies as aggressive, even by Angels standards.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #58
    Angels optioned RHP Victor Mederos to Triple-A Salt Lake.
    Mederos made just one relief appearance for Los Angeles after being brought up earlier this week. The 23-year-old righty figures to be up-and-down as extra relief depth for the Angels in the coming months.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #52
    Angels designated RHP Carl Edwards Jr. for assignment.
    Edwards’ stay with Los Angeles winds up being just a couple days and a pair of relief appearances. The 33-year-old journeyman reliever should pass through waivers unclaimed and figures to elect free agency.
