Michael Harris II

ATL Center Fielder #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Michael Harris II homered in a win over the Twins on Saturday for Atlanta.

It’s the third homer of the season for Harris II, and it came off Simeon Woods RIchardson in the sixth. The 24-year-old outfielder has not been good to begin the year as seen in a slash of .200/.225/.347, but he’s turned slow starts into successful campaigns in his short time in the bigs. Fantasy managers shouldn’t panic.

Walker Jenkins

MIN Center Fielder

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Twins OF prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) has begun hitting off a machine and doing defensive work.

The Twins’ top prospect has been out since the beginning of May with a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The Twins are hoping that he can progress to live batting practice this week and then begin a rehab assignment next week. He would then likely return to games at Triple-A St. Paul, where he had a .250/.389/.386 slash line with two homers and five steals in 24 games.

David Festa

MIN Starting Pitcher #58

David Festa (shoulder impingement) has begun his throwing progression.

Festa was diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement back at the end of March and has spent the entire season on the injured list. He is still three weeks from throwing off a mound, so even if everything progresses without setbacks, the earliest he would be an option for the Twins is likely in mid-August.

Alan Roden

MIN Left Fielder #18

Alan Roden (labrum tear) has begun throwing and could take live batting practice this week.

Roden has been on the injured list since April 24th after suffering a shoulder injury on April 17th. If he does get his batting practice sessions in this week, he will likely begin a rehab assignment next week and then would likely need at least two weeks of games before the Twins would even consider bringing him up to the big leagues. There’s also a chance he’s activated off the injured list and kept at Triple-A, where he began the season.

Ryan Jeffers

MIN Catcher #27

Ryan Jeffers (fractured hamate) had his cast removed and has begun throwing.

Jeffers had surgery on May 20th to fix his fractured hamate bone. The original timeline was four to six weeks, so it’s nice to see that the cast is already off. He has not resumed swinging a bat, but that should come towards the middle of June.

Matt Wilkinson

SF Starting Pitcher

Giants promoted LHP Matt Wilkinson to Triple-A Sacramento.

Wilkinson, also known as Tugboat, came to the Giants early in May as part of the Patrick Bailey trade. The 23-year-old left-hander made three starts for the Giants in Double-A and has a 1.87 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 49/13 K/BB ratio across 43 1/3 total Double-A innings this season. If he adapts well to Triple-A, he could be an option for the Giants down the stretch.

Lars Nootbaar

STL Left Fielder #21

Lars Nootbaar (heel) will continue a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis this week.

Nootbaar will get at least two additional rehab contests under his belt before potentially being activated for Friday’s series opener against the Reds, which is when his rehab assignment clock expires. The 28-year-old is working his way back from offseason surgery on both heels. He should make it back to St. Louis by the end of the week.

Josh Ekness

MIA Relief Pitcher

Josh Ekness (calf) is expected to miss roughly six weeks.

Ekness hit the injured list with a right calf strain prior to Monday’s series opener against the division-rival Nationals. The intriguing rookie southpaw has posted a strong 1.69 ERA and 5/5 K/BB ratio across 5 1/3 innings over six appearances in a pair of stints with the Marlins this season. He’s unlikely to rejoin Miami’s relief mix until around next month’s All-Star break.

Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #60

Kendry Rojas (elbow) is on track to start a throwing progression this week.

Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll told reporters Monday that Rojas is already feeling better and could be cleared to resume throwing at some point this week. It’s an encouraging update after the 23-year-old rookie hit the injured list with elbow inflammation last Friday. He’s going to miss at least a couple weeks, but it doesn’t appear that he’s headed for an extended absence.

Jake McCarthy

COL Left Fielder #31

Jake McCarthy homered, doubled and walked twice Monday as the Rockies bested the Angels 9-8.

The Rockies erased a 6-3 deficit by scoring five in the top of the eighth, only to see the Angels tie things up in the bottom of the inning. In the ninth, Kyle Karros singled, McCarthy doubled and TJ Rumfield delivered a sac fly to make it 9-8, and the Rockies held on this time. With the Rockies having three outfielders on the IL, McCarthy has been an everyday player of late, starting 17 straight games. The good times won’t last forever, but he’s a mixed-league outfielder right now.

Kyle Freeland

COL Starting Pitcher #21

Kyle Freeland yielded six runs — five earned — in 5 2/3 innings Monday in a no-decision against the Angels.

Since the beginning of his rookie season in 2027, Freeland has allowed at least five runs on 58 occasions. That’s tied with the retired Kyle Gibson for second most during the timespan. The top spot belongs to Patrick Corbin with 62 such outings. Freeland wasn’t involved in the decision tonight, but he’s 1-6 with an 8.06 ERA in 10 starts. Still, nothing much figures to change here. Expect him to face the Brewers on Sunday.
