Jhoan Duran

PHI Relief Pitcher #59

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly told reporters Jhoan Duran (oblique) will be activated for Tuesday’s game against the Athletics.

Duran will return to solidify the back-end of Philadelphia’s bullpen after missing just over two weeks with a left oblique strain. The electrifying 28-year-old stopper was off to a brilliant start this season with a microscopic 1.35 ERA across 6 2/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him back in lineups this week.
Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang (illness) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Cardinals.

Turang is back at second base and hitting third following a one-game absence over the weekend due to illness. The 26-year-old has been outstanding this season, slashing .291/.428/.491 with 27 runs scored, four homers, 20 RBI and seven steals across 30 games. He’s walked 27 times and his .428 on-base percentage is tops in the entire National League. He should see a boost in the counting stats departments with superstar Jackson Chourio finally back after missing nearly six weeks with a hand injury to open the season.
Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Cal Raleigh (side) remains out of the lineup for the third consecutive game on Monday against the Braves.

Seattle handled the Raleigh situation with extreme caution over the weekend, holding him out of two games due to right-side tightness. He could still require a trip to the injured list, but no move has been made yet. The 29-year-old slugging backstop underwent an MRI that should clarify the severity of the issue and whether additional time off will be necessary. A clearer update on his status is expected before Monday’s series opener at T-Mobile Park.
George Springer

TOR Right Fielder #4

George Springer (toe) is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rays.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider delivered a positive update that Springer is likely to be available off the bench on Monday night and will hopefully be ready for Tuesday’s showdown. The 36-year-old veteran outfielder somehow managed to avoid serious injury when he fouled a ball off the same left toe that he fractured a couple weeks earlier. It sounds like there’s a strong possibility he’s ready to come off the bench, if needed, and return to the lineup this week. Daulton Varsho is at DH with Myles Straw patrolling center field on Monday night.
Jackson Chourio

MIL Center Fielder #11

Brewers activated OF Jackson Chourio from the 10-day injured list.

Chourio is in left field and batting second as he makes his long-awaited season debut on Monday evening against the Cardinals after missing nearly six weeks to open the year recovering from a fractured hand. The 22-year-old fantasy superstar is ready to roll following an injury scare when he fouled a ball off his foot during his final minor league rehab contest over the weekend. He’ll provide a much-needed lift for Milwaukee, and fantasy managers as well, after recording back-to-back 20-homer, 20-steal campaigns to kick off his career.
Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Ben Rice (hand) is not in the starting lineup for the Yankees on Monday against the Orioles.

Rice was hit in the hand on Sunday while trying to field a pickoff throw from Max Fried. The Yankees don’t seem concerned about the injury long-term, but he will at least get Monday off. Paul Goldschmidt is starting at first base and batting sixth in this one.
Sawyer Gipson-Long

DET Starting Pitcher #66

Tigers manager AJ Hinch said that Sawyer Gipson-Long is “not 100 percent” and is shut down from throwing.

As of now, we don’t yet know what injury Gipson-Long is dealing with, but he was removed from his start on Friday and is now sidelined indefinitely. With both Casey Mize (adductor) and Tarik Skubal (elbow) on the IL, Gipson-Long would have been the next man up, but this Tigers rotation is in a brutal spot with injuries right now.
Yandy Díaz

TB 1st Baseman #2

Yandy Díaz (oblique) is batting fourth and DHing against the Blue Jays on Monday.

Díaz had missed two straight games with an oblique injury, but he’s back in there on Monday, so it seems we’ve avoided the worst for now. He can be fired up with confidence this week.
Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will begin his throwing program this week.

Woodruff was placed on the injured list on May 1st with shoulder inflammation. The Brewers have said he will begin his throwing program near the end of this week while on the road trip. It’s unclear if he would also need to make a rehab assignment before returning.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

The Detroit Free Press’ Evan Petzold reports that Tarik Skubal will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow.

So much for him being scratched from his start for precautionary reasons. As of now, there is no set timeline for Skubal’s absence, but Edwin Diaz is being sidelined for three months after undergoing the same surgery. That means we could expect Skubal back in August as a best-case scenario. That’s a brutal blow for the Tigers and fantasy managers, and, potentially, Skubal’s free agent market.
