Spencer Jones

NYY Right Fielder #78

Yankees optioned OF Spencer Jones to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

With Jose Caballero set to return from the injured list on Friday, someone needed to get the boot from the Yankees’ active roster to make room. Jones has struggled to make consistent contact during his brief time with the Yankees, striking out 12 times in just 27 plate appearances while hitting .167 (4-for-24). He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until another opportunity arises with the Bombers.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

Spencer Strider posted a quality start in Thursday’s victory over the Marlins, allowing three runs on four hits across 6 1/3 innings of work.

Strider racked up nine strikeouts on the evening while issuing two free passes. All of the damage done against him came via the long ball, with Kyle Stowers belting a pair of solo home runs and Owen Caissie adding another. The 27-year-old righty generated 15 swings and misses on 100 pitches in the contest — six of those on his slider — while posting a strong CSW of 32 percent. Now 2-0 on the season, he’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 27/12 K/BB ratio (21 innings) into Wednesday’s tilt against the Red Sox in Boston.
Bryan Torres

STL Center Fielder #39

According to Carlos Baerga, the Cardinals plan to promote Bryan Torres from Triple-A Memphis prior to Friday’s series opener against the Reds.

The Cardinals are in need of an extra outfielder with Nathan Church expected to land on the injured list with an undisclosed issue. It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 28-year-old outfielder. Torres has hit .336/.454/.477 with a pair of homers and 16 RBI in 166 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from Thursday’s contest against the Marlins due to pain in his left thumb.

The superstar outfielder was removed when the Braves took the field for the sixth inning. Fortunately, the team is calling his exit a precautionary measure, and his injury isn’t believed to be serious. Fantasy managers should be sure to check back on Friday to ensure that he’s in the lineup when setting lineups for the weekend.
Brandon Lowe

PIT 2nd Baseman #5

Brandon Lowe went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park homer and a walk in the Pirates’ 6-2 defeat of the Cardinals on Thursday.

The homer, hit 342 feet down the left-field line, initially looked like a traditional homer after bouncing off the top of the wall, but it never actually left the field of play. Fortunately, Lowe didn’t stop running, and with José Fermín falling down after colliding with the wall, Lowe scored without a throw. It’s his 13th homer of the year. Lowe is currently sporting the same .256 average he did last year, but with the extra homers and walks, his OPS is up 122 points (.906 to .784).
Robby Snelling

MIA Starting Pitcher #93

Robby Snelling will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Snelling was diagnosed with a UCL sprain, and the operation will not only cost him the rest of 2026, but likely a chunk of 2027 as well. The 22-year-old is one of the best left-handed pitching prospects in baseball, and fantasy managers have seen plenty of hurlers recover from the operation. Still, it’s very disappointing that Snelling won’t be on the mound again until around the middle of next season at the earliest.
Kodai Senga

NYM Starting Pitcher #34

Kodai Senga (back) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Low-A St. Lucie.

Senga has been out of action since near the end of April with lumbar spine inflammation. The 33-year-old will likely need multiple rehab outings before he’s ready to rejoin the New York rotation. It is worth noting that Senga was awful prior to his injury with a 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over his first five starts of 2026, but he’s shown the ability to be a solid — at times better — fantasy option.
Jared Jones

PIT Starting Pitcher #17

Jared Jones (elbow) is scheduled to start on Saturday for Triple-A Indianapolis.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that Jones would make “at least one” more start, but he is eligible to come off the injured list on May 25th. He threw only 52 pitches in his last outing, so the team would likely try to push him closer to 65 on Saturday, and then he could return with a pitch count around 75 pitches. However, it doesn’t seem like the Pirates feel they have to rush him back. His return could depend on how he pitches on Saturday and how other Pirates starters, like Carmen Mlodzinski, look over the weekend. Regardless, we’re only one or two weeks away from Jones returning, so now is the time to stash him in fantasy leagues.
Clayton Beeter

WSH Relief Pitcher #39

Nationals activated RHP Clayton Beeter (forearm) from the 15-day injured list.

Beeter has been sidelined since April 26th due to forearm soreness, but all his imaging came back clean. He began a rehab assignment last week and is now ready to return to his late-inning role. Before the injury, Beeter had posted a 3.48 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 9/8 K/BB ratio over his first 10 1/3 innings while notching a pair of saves. Since he has been hurt, Richard Lovelady has recorded three saves and been a solid late-innings option for the Nationals as well. It would be likely that the two would form some sort of tandem in the short term.
A.J. Puk

AZ Relief Pitcher #33

A.J. Puk (elbow) threw 20 pitches to hitters on Tuesday.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Puk was sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball and “felt good coming out of the session.” We’d imagine he would face live hitters maybe once more before going out on a rehab assignment, but the left-hander could be back with the Diamondbacks in early June. We can’t see the team simply removing Paul Sewald from the closer’s role, but it could be more of a committe with Puk back in the mix.
