Carlos Estévez

KC Relief Pitcher #53

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Carlos Estévez (foot) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Omaha.

The proverbial million dollar question is whether Estévez has a shot at reclaiming Kansas City’s closer role from Lucas Erceg, who has converted nine of 11 save opportunities this season. The 33-year-old hit the shelf with a foot contusion, after several weeks of diminished fastball velocity, back in early April. It’ll be fascinating to see if his fastball is back to last year’s levels during his rehab assignment.
Jackson Chourio

MIL Center Fielder #11

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

Chourio will make 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.
Joe Mack

MIA Catcher #80

Marlins selected the contract of C Joe Mack from Triple-A Jacksonville

Mack is the 54th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. A lot of that value comes from his defense, which is stellar. He’s hitting .244/.388/.378 in Triple-A with three home runs, one steal, and a 22/20 K/BB ratio. Mack hit 21 home runs and stole 9 bases in 112 minor league games last year, while hitting .257, so maybe he profiles as a .240 with 10-15 home runs and 3-4 steals the rest of the way? That’s likely more of a two-catcher league target.
Andrew Chafin

FA Relief Pitcher #39

Andrew Chafin opted out of his minor league contract with the Reds

The veteran left-hander is now a free agent. Chafin had posted a 0.96 ERA in 9 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season, so it’s a bit confusing why the Reds never gave him a chance. The 35-year-old has a 3.35 ERA in 542 career MLB innings, so another team is going to give him a shot quickly.
Braden Montgomery

CWS Center Fielder #92

White Sox promoted OF prospect Braden Montgomery to Triple-A Charlotte.

Montgomery is the 31st-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, and came to the White Sox from the Red Sox as part of the Garrett Crochet trade. The 23-year-old is hitting .313/.429/.606 in 27 games at Double-A this season with six home runs and two steals. He also has 32 strikeouts, which is a bit more than you’d like to see, but 21 walks will also help to counteract that a little bit. Montgomery is an advanced prospect and could debut for the White Sox towards the end of the season.
