All Player News

Luis García Jr.

WSH 1st Baseman #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Luis Garcia Jr. has a “minor right hand/wrist sprain” but claims he will not go on the injured list.

For now, we should treat Garcia Jr. as if he’s day-to-day, but that could obviously change if his wrist doesn’t respond in the next few days.
Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Ben Rice (hand) is not in the starting lineup against the Rangers on Tuesday.

This is now the second straight game that Rice has missed since suffering a “contusion” in Sunday’s game. The Yankees have not put him on the injured list, so he could return later this week. For now, Paul Goldschmidt will continue to play first base.
Zach McKinstry

DET 2nd Baseman #39

Tigers activated INF Zach McKinstry (hip) from the 10-day injured list.

McKinstry has been on the injured list for about three weeks, so it’s nice to get him back. With Javier Baez (ankle) on the injured list now, McKinstry should settle into an every-day role against right-handed pitching, but he might do so at a bunch of different positions.
Steven Matz

TB Starting Pitcher #32

Rays placed LHP Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

That’s not great news. Matz looked good on Sunday, allowing one run in six innings to lower his ERA to 3.86 and his WHIP to 1.10. Obviously, he did not respond well after the start, so we’ll have to wait and see how long he will be sidelined for. The Rays are in the process of stretching out Griffin Jax and Mason Englert (forearm) as starters, and Joe Boyle (elbow) is on the injured list, so they may have to turn to Joe Rock or Ian Seymour to take at least one start in Matz’s place.
Christian Yelich

MIL Left Fielder #22

Christian Yelich (groin) will “progress to live ABs and baserunning by early next week.”

Yelich has been sidelined since the middle of April with a groin strain, and the initial timeframe for his return was mid to late May. If his baserunning goes well next week, that timeframe still seems very much in play. With Jackson Chourio (hand) and Andrew Vaughn (hamate) both back off the injured list, this Brewers lineup could be getting healthy for the summer.
Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) “traveled to Dallas for a hands-on assessment with Dr. Meister” on Tuesday.

Well, that’s not the best news. Just one day ago, the Brewers reported that Woodruff would start his throwing program next week. He still might, provided that Dr. Keith Meister signs off on it, but having to go see a renowned specialist for a hands-on assessment is not the most encouraging news.
Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Braves activated RHP Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list.

Iglesias landed on the injured list on April 21st, so he hasn’t been sidelined for too long. He will return to his late-inning role in the Braves’ bullpen. Given that Igleasias is dealing with a shoulder issue, we wouldn’t go ahead and drop Robert Suarez right away. It makes sense to see how Iglesias looks for a performance or two before moving on from Suarez in fantasy leagues.
Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

The Mets-Rockies game scheduled for 8:40 pm ET on Tuesday has been postponed.

The game will now take place at 3:10 pm ET on Thursday. Additionally, Wednesday’s game has been pushed back to 9:20 pm ET to avoid inclement weather.
Don Kelly

PIT Manager

Major League Baseball suspended Pirates manager Don Kelly and reliever Chris Devenski for intentionally throwing at Reds first baseman Sal Stewart over the weekend.

Kelly will have to miss tonight’s game and then will be back to manage the team on Wednesday. Nothing should change from a fantasy baseball standpoint, except maybe how long the interim manager decides to leave Bubba Chandler in the game if he struggles with his command.
Yusei Kikuchi

LAA Starting Pitcher #16

Former Los Angeles Times writer, Mike DiGiovanna reported on “Halo Territory” that sources have told him Yusei Kikuchi (shoulder) is “gonna be out for several months, if not the whole season.”

DiGiovanna covered the Angels for decades when he was working with The Times, so it would make sense for him to still have sources connected to the organization. A multiple-month absence for shoulder inflammation is also not an unrealistic outcome, so much of this makes sense. The Angels have not yet confirmed any timeline for Kikuchi, but if he were to miss an extended period of time, Caden Dana would figure to get a chance to stick in the rotation until Grayson Rodriguez (shoulder) or Alek Manoah (finger) make their season debut.
