Jonah Heim Resting on Tuesday
Jonah Heim is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This is a routine rest day for Heim who has been in a terrible slump at the plate. Heim is 4-for-40 over his last 13 games, which includes three straight hitless performances. Kyle Higashioka will take over behind the plate and bat ninth against right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson on Tuesday. Heim has decent power potential, but he isn't doing enough with the bat right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.Source: mlb.com
Texas Rangers catcher Diontae Johnson Attending Mandatory Minicamp
Diontae Johnson is in attendance at mandatory minicamp this week after not showing up for voluntary organized team activities. Although there is opportunity in Cleveland this year behind WR1 Jerry Jeudy, fantasy managers won't be holding their breath for the 28-year-old wideout after he played for three teams in 2024. He caught 30 of 58 targets for 357 yards and three touchdowns with the Panthers before being traded to the Ravens, where he caught just one pass in four games. Johnson finished the year in Houston and caught two passes for 12 yards. The former third-rounder (66th overall) by the Steelers in 2019 out of Toledo has regressed each season since his 1,000-yard campaign in 2021 in Pittsburgh. With one of the worst QB situations in the league on top of it, Johnson is barely ranked inside the top-100 wideouts at RotoBaller.Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jorge Soler Returns to the Lineup
Jorge Soler (groin) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Athletics. Soler is back in action after missing each of the last two games due to a lingering groin issue. This doesn't appear to be a serious issue, but it is something that Soler has dealt with in the past. Soler will bat fifth and cover right field versus right-hander Mitch Spence on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups and get Soler back in there.Source: mlb.com
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Tua Tagovailoa Prioritizing his Health
Tua Tagovailoa is prioritizing his health in 2025 and also said that the hip injury that ended his season in Week 17 of last year started to "feel a little better" in February and won't be an issue going forward. "Doing everything I can to stay available for the guys," Tagovailoa said after signing a four-year, $212.1 million contract extension. The third diagnosed concussion of his career sidelined him for four games last year before he was shut down for the final two games with a hip injury. In addition to the 27-year-old's missed time due to injuries in 2024, Miami's offense was less explosive in general, and Tagovailoa finished with 2,867 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and seven picks in 11 starts. He still has an excellent receiver combo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but Tagovailoa's concussion history makes him an avoidable fantasy QB in standard 12-team leagues.Source: ESPN.com - Marcel Louis-Jacques
Miami Dolphins quarterback Christian Yelich Absent on Tuesday
Christian Yelich is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine rest day for Yelich who has started in each of the last seven games. Over the last three games, Yelich is 1-for-9, so a rest day looks like it's needed. In his absence, Jake Bauers will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus right-hander Grant Holmes on Tuesday.Source: mlb.com
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Gabriel Moreno Returns from Three-Game Absence
Gabriel Moreno (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Moreno has missed the last three games after getting hit in the right hand during Friday's game. He missed a few games due to inflammation in his hand, but appears to be ready to go now. Moreno has been crushing the ball lately, slashing .358/.393/.660 with three home runs and eight RBI over his last 15 games. He'll bat eighth and cover behind the plate versus right-hander Logan Evans on Tuesday.Source: mlb.com
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Colts Not Putting a Timetable on Anthony Richardson's Return
Anthony Richardson (shoulder) was shut down on May 29 after an "aggravation" to the AC joint in his surgically-repaired right shoulder and will be out indefinitely, according to head coach Shane Steichen. It's bad news for the former first-rounder after he suffered a severe AC joint sprain in October of 2023 in his rookie season that required season-ending surgery. The Athletic's James Boyd writes that the odds of Richardson one day becoming the face of the Colts franchise are dwindling by the day. "We'll see when he comes back. Not going to put a timetable for training camp on it, but when he does come back, we'll ease him into throwing, and we'll go from there," Steichen said. Although nothing will be decided this year, Richardson's stock is falling drastically, increasing Daniel Jones' odds of winning the starting gig under center.Source: The Athletic - James Boyd
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Logan Evans Recalled and Starting on Tuesday
Logan Evans from Triple-A Tacoma and to start on Tuesday on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks with right-hander Bryce Miller (elbow) going back on the injured list. Right-hander Bryan Woo will be pushed back to Wednesday. This will be Evans' sixth start of his first year in the big leagues. The 24-year-old, who is considered the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has struck out only 25 hitters in 35 innings of work in his six starts, but he's only allowed 11 earned runs and walked 10 while going 3-1. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to stick around in Seattle's starting rotation beyond one start, though, with Logan Gilbert (elbow) potentially returning from the IL next week. Evans will be a pretty risky fantasy streamer on Tuesday night against a strong D-backs offense.Source: The Seattle Times - Tim Booth
The Seattle Mariners recalled rookie right-hander Jung Hoo Lee Back in Tuesday's Lineup
Jung Hoo Lee (back) is returning to center field and will bat leadoff on Tuesday against the division-rival Colorado Rockies and left-hander Carson Palmquist at Coors Field. Lee did not start the final two games of the weekend against the Atlanta Braves due to tightness in his back, but he's feeling better after a scheduled day off for travel on Monday. The 26-year-old only played in 37 games in his first season in the big leagues due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. He's already played in 64 games in 2025 and enters Tuesday's tilt slashing .276/.330/.436 with a .766 OPS, six homers, 32 RBI, 35 runs scored and six stolen bases. The Japanese outfielder has actually been better against lefties this year, going 19-for-62 (.306) against them with three of his six homers. Get Lee back in your lineups this week at hitter-friendly Coors Field.Source: MLB.com
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Spence Making Another Start on Tuesday
Mitch Spence will remain in the starting rotation and get another turn on Tuesday on the road against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. Spence made his first start of the season last Thursday in a win over the Minnesota Twins and looked good, allowing just one earned run on three hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out four in five innings of work. The 27-year-old could stick around even longer in a starting role if he shows well again on Tuesday, and he has the matchup to do it against an Angels squad that ranks 19th in the league with a .692 OPS. Spence's first 22 outings this year came in a relief role, and he's currently sporting a 4.09 ERA (3.91 FIP), a 1.27 WHIP, one save, 41 strikeouts and 15 walks in 44 innings pitched. He has an underwhelming 19.9% strikeout rate in his two big-league seasons and relies on keeping the ball on the ground.Source: MLB.com
Athletics right-hander Chris Taylor Goes on 10-Day Injured List With Fractured Hand
Chris Taylor (hand) on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left hand and added first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. to the major-league roster in a corresponding move. Taylor was recently scooped up by the Halos after he was cut by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the 34-year-old veteran only made it 10 games with the Angels before fracturing his hand on a hit-by-pitch in Monday's win over the Athletics. There's no timetable for when Taylor might be able to return, but it's a good bet we won't see him until the second half of the season. He had gone 6-for-30 (.200) with a homer, three RBI and a steal as a utility player for the Angels. Wade could see occasional start in the outfield against right-handed pitching but isn't anything more than a bench stash in AL-only leagues after being cut by the Giants earlier this year.Source: Angels PR
The Los Angeles Angels announced on Tuesday that they placed outfielder J.K. Dobbins Signs One-Year Deal With Denver
J.K. Dobbins signed a one-year, $5.25 million deal on Tuesday with the Denver Broncos, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Dobbins, who was a Comeback Player of the Year finalist in 2024, is still only 26 years old and had over 1,000 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games with the Los Angeles Chargers last year. He did not play at all in 2021 and was limited to nine total games in 2022 and 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens due to knee and Achilles injuries, which made it all the more impressive that he averaged 4.6 yards per carry on his career-high 195 rushing attempts in 2024 with the Bolts. Dobbins will now pair with rookie second-round RB RJ Harvey in the backfield for the Broncos in an offense that should be plenty productive under quarterback Bo Nix in his second season. At the very least, Dobbins could have RB3/flex appeal in Denver's backfield.Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero

Shota Imanaga Needs a Few More Rehab Starts
Shota Imanaga (hamstring) will require a few more minor-league rehab starts before he returns to the major-league starting rotation. "Shota has got a couple more starts before you're going to see him in Chicago. That's because as a starter, you've got to go through this process where you're lengthened out and your arm recovers," Counsell said. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler threw two scoreless innings in his first rehab start on Monday at the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. If he can avoid setbacks in his next couple of rehab starts on the farm, we could see him back in Chicago by the end of June. He's been slow to recover from a strained left hamstring that has kept him out since early May, but fantasy managers should be stashing him everywhere. Imanaga had a 2.82 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 34 K's in 44 2/3 frames over eight starts before his injury.Source: 670 The Score
Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that left-hander Aaron Nola Probably Won't Return Until After All-Star Break
Aaron Nola's (ankle, rib) right rib cage, according to manager Rob Thomson. Nola will not throw for at least two weeks and now probably won't return from the injured list until after the All-Star break in mid-July. The 32-year-old veteran initially landed on the 15-day IL with a sprained right ankle, but now he's dealing with a much more worrisome injury. In addition to his injuries, the former All-Star wasn't good on the mound before his ankle injury this year, going 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA and 1.51 WHIP with 52 punchouts and 16 walks in 49 2/3 innings over his nine starts. Fantasy managers will still want to stash Nola if they can, but his return is no longer imminent. Rookie Mick Abel should see a longer stay in Philly's rotation now, making him more attractive in shallower formats.Source: The Athletic - Matt Gelb

Tekoah Roby Promoted to Triple-A
Tekoah Roby has been promoted from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis. Roby, the team's No. 11 prospect per MLB Pipeline, gets the promotion after going 4-2 with a 2.49 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 57:11 K:BB in 47 innings over 10 starts. The 23-year-old former third-rounder by the Texas Rangers in 2020 only managed 10 total starts last year due a shoulder injury, so it's nice to see him bounce back already in 2025. Roby, who stands at 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, could make his major-league debut later this season if he impresses at Memphis. He features a fastball, nasty curveball, slider and changeup. It's nice to see him performing well this season, but the Cardinals will likely want to see him get through a whole year healthy before considering him for their rotation in 2026.Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Derrick Goold
St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitching prospect Michael McGreevy Could Make Another Spot Start This Month
Michael McGreevy could come back up to the big leagues to make another spot start later this month. McGreevy came up to make his first start of the year on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and took the loss after allowing four earned runs on eight hits while walking none and striking out five in six innings. All things considered, it wasn't a bad showing for the 24-year-old, who is considered the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline. The former 18th overall pick in 2021 out of Santa Barbara has held his own with a 3.09 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 10 strikeouts in his two outings (11 2/3 innings) this year after making his MLB debut in 2024. McGreevy's stuff isn't anything special, but he's a ground-ball artist with exceptional control.Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Daniel Guerrero

Nacho Alvarez Jr. Begins Rehab Assignment with FCL Braves
Nacho Alvarez Jr. (wrist) began a rehab assignment with the FCL Braves on Monday. The 22-year-old has been out of action all year with wrist inflammation, so it could take some time to get ramped up. Once his rehab is complete, he'll likely head to Triple-A with designs on making it back to the majors. The Braves' top offensive prospect (third overall) made a debut in 2024, but went just 3-for-30 (.100) in his brief stay with the big league club. The former fifth-round draft pick slashed .297/.398/.463 with 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 64 games at Triple-A last year. The power surge at Triple-A was a bit of a surprise after hitting zero home runs in 48 games at Double-A, so that shouldn't be something fantasy managers should expect when he makes it back to the Braves, but he makes excellent contact and has the ability to steal bases, so he could become a stash candidate later this season.Source: Atlanta Braves

Francisco Alvarez Goes on Paternity List
Francisco Alvarez on the paternity list and recalled catcher Hayden Senger from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Alvarez will be away from the team for a few days and probably won't return until sometime this weekend for a series at home against the Tampa Bay Rays. With Alvarez out, veteran Luis Torrens will do the catching and hit sixth on Tuesday against the division-rival Washington Nationals and tough left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Senger will serve as New York's backup for a few days. Alvarez got a late start to the 2025 season due to injury and is currently hitting .255 (26-for-102) but with only two home runs, 10 RBI and six runs scored in 114 trips to the plate. Injuries also slowed him down last year, but the 23-year-old hit 25 homers in his first full MLB season in 2023.Source: New York Mets
The New York Mets announced on Tuesday that they placed catcher Eriq Swan Earns Midwest League Pitcher of the Week
Source: MiLB.com
Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Eriq Swan earned Midwest League Pitcher of the Week honors after tossing six no-hit innings for High-A Great Lakes in his last start. The righty walked two and struck out seven in the combined no-hitter for the Loons, which was a shortened seven-inning game last Thursday as it was the second game of a doubleheader. The 6-foot-6 hurler has been so-so in 2025, recording five starts of one earned run or less allowed, but has three starts with a combined 14 earned runs allowed, leading to a 5.04 ERA on the year. The Dodgers' 16th-ranked prospect has a big fastball that can hit triple digits, which has helped him to a solid 27.1 percent strikeout rate (38 K in 30 1/3 IP) this year, but a 16.4 percent walk rate needs work, and could eventually push him to the bullpen if not improved. The 23-year-old has an ETA of 2027 per MLB Pipeline, but as a fireballing reliever, he could be there sooner.Rafael Devers Dealing With Undisclosed Injury
Rafael Devers (undisclosed) slowed down before getting to first base in the series finale against the New York Yankees on Sunday and was seen grimacing during the play. "He plays every day; obviously he's a DH, and there's certain things—nothing major—but stuff that we have to pay attention to," manager Alex Cora said. In his following at-bat on Sunday, Devers hit a 393-foot home run in the ninth inning, so the injury obviously isn't too serious. However, it's something to keep an eye on, and it could cause Cora to give the 28-year-old a rest day coming up. Devers told Cora that he was "doing OK." He has played in all 68 games in 2025, so it's probably time for his first day off of the season. The Dominican infielder has been solid in his full-time move to DH this year and is slashing .280/.409/.516 with a .925 OPS, 14 homers, 57 RBI and 45 runs scored.Source: Boston Sports Journal - Chris Henrique

Corbin Carroll Battling Tight Hamstring
Corbin Carroll (hamstring) has been battling through a tight hamstring. Carroll was still in the lineup for Monday's series-opening, extra-inning win over the visiting Seattle Mariners, though, and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk. The 24-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year missed a couple games over the weekend, and now we know why. He should be fine, but it's something to keep an eye on moving forward if he misses anymore games. If anything, it could cause the former first-rounder to run less on the basepaths. When Carroll is in the starting lineup, he's a must-start in all fantasy leagues with a .258/.339/.569 slash line, .908 OPS, 19 home runs, 41 RBI, 50 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 260 at-bats this year.Source: SI.com - Jack Sommers
SI.com's Jack Sommers reported on Monday that Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ian Seymour Strikes Out Two, Picks Up Win in Debut
Ian Seymour made his MLB Debut on Monday, coming on in the 10th inning of the team's 10-8 win over the Red Sox in extras. The lefty allowed one unearned run on an error by first baseman Jonathan Aranda, while walking two (one intentional) and striking out two in the two-inning outing. He did not allow a hit in nine batters faced, and because the Rays would take the lead in the top of the 11th and go on to be victorious with Seymour on the mound, the Rays' 19th-ranked prospect would end up as the winning pitcher in the contest. The 26-year-old could be a ratio-enhancer if he ends up sticking around, especially with his strikeout ability, but offers little more fantasy relevance without a closing role.Source: ESPN
Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Heston Kjerstad Demoted to Triple-A
Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk and reinstated outfielder Cedric Mullins (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Kjerstad gets caught in a roster crunch with Baltimore's outfield getting healthy. The 26-year-old former second overall pick in 2020 out of Arkansas has not been able to carve out a regular role with the team since debuting in 2023. In 54 games this year, he went 30-for-156 (.192) with four home runs, five doubles, two triples, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored, a steal, six walks and 45 strikeouts in 167 plate appearances. Kjerstad has a .218/.284/.365 slash line, .649 OPS, 10 homers, 36 RBI and 88 strikeouts in 106 games played at the big-league level since 2023. He has hit the ball hard, but he's just not making enough contact.Source: Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that they optioned outfielder Cam Caminiti Looks Good in First Start at Single-A
Source: MiLB.com
Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Cam Caminiti made his Single-A debut this past Saturday and did not disappoint. The Braves' top-ranked prospect allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out eight batters over five innings of work. The Braves' 2024 first-round draft pick made just one start at Single-A last year after being drafted and missed the first part of this year due to forearm tendinitis. The southpaw made four starts with the team's Florida Complex affiliate before debuting on Saturday, and despite a high ERA, struck out 15 hitters in 13 2/3 IP while walking just two. At only 18 years old, the 6-foot-2 hurler has a few years before he hits the big leagues, but in growing up with baseball in his blood (he's the cousin of the late Ken Caminiti) and with a first-round pedigree, there's a good chance he'll have a fantasy impact when that happens.Orioles Reinstate Cedric Mullins From 10-Day Injured List
Cedric Mullins (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. The Orioles haven't released their lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the visiting Detroit Tigers, but Mullins may be on the bench with left-hander Brant Hurter on the mound. Mullins skipped a minor-league rehab assignment after straining his right hamstring in late May. His return will push Jorge Mateo back to a reserve infield role with Colton Cowser shifting to a corner outfield spot now against right-handed pitchers. Mullins has a .232 batting average on the year but also sports a .218 xBA, so he's not going to help fantasy managers at all in the average department. The 30-year-old does already have 10 homers and eight steals through 50 games, though.Source: Baltimore Orioles
