The Athletics announced on Sunday that they reinstated outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Andy Ibanez for assignment in a corresponding move. Rooker is serving as the DH and is batting cleanup in his return on Sunday in Texas against the Rangers and right-hander Kumar Rocker. The 31-year-old veteran right-handed slugger is back after originally landing on the IL on April 10 with an oblique strain. Rooker has game-changing power in a hitter-friendly home ballpark in Sacramento, but he had been struggling mightily at the plate early on in 2026 before his oblique injury, batting just .146 (6-for-41) with two home runs, eight RBI, four runs scored, two stolen bases, six walks, and 17 strikeouts in 12 games played. It's still early, though, so nobody should be giving up on Rooker just yet. He is 96% rostered in Yahoo leagues and should be returned to starting fantasy lineups on Sunday. Rooker is hitting .400 with an .800 OPS in just five career at-bats against Rocker.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (back) has returned to the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the hosting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Bradish at Camden Yards, serving as the designated hitter and batting third in the order, per MLB.com. Anthony missed a fourth straight game on Saturday after feeling upper-back tightness on a swing in Tuesday's game against the division-rival New York Yankees. Anthony ended up missing a little more time than originally expected, but he's now back in the starting lineup on Sunday in Baltimore. Fantasy managers will be hoping that the 21-year-old former second-round pick in 2022 can get things going at the plate after a quiet start to his first full season in the big leagues in 2026. Anthony comes into Sunday's tilt with a .225/.361/.325 slash line with a homer, four RBI, 11 runs scored, and two steals in his 80 at-bats. Despite the slow start, Anthony has high-end power/speed potential in all fantasy formats. He's gone 1-for-3 in his career against Bradish.

Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas has been putting together a nice stretch of play at the plate recently. Vargas is currently riding a six-game hitting streak heading into Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. During this stretch, Vargas is hitting over .400 with three home runs, five RBI, and seven walks. His overall numbers aren't pretty, but it seems like Vargas is finally turning a corner. The plate discipline is great to see with Vargas already having 19 walks on the season. Fantasy managers looking for help with walks or just need a batter right now should consider adding Vargas during his hot stretch.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher JR Ritchie looked fantastic on the mound during his first start on Thursday. The rookie right-hander tossed seven innings, allowing two earned runs on two hits, while striking out seven batters in the win. Afterwards, Braves manager Walt Weiss said Ritchie will remain with the big league club for now. Ritchie was sharp against the Nationals and is now looking like a solid waiver wire addition with the news that he's sticking around. It's worth noting that Spencer Strider (oblique) is supposed to rejoin the Braves within the next week. It's unclear if Ritchie will move to the bullpen or if the Braves will operate with a six-man rotation. Ritchie is worth a look in deep leagues at the minimum right now.

Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob Latz earned his first save of the season during Saturday's game against the Athletics. Latz was called upon with a one-run lead in the ninth inning. The southpaw tossed a scoreless inning, recording one strikeout and earning the save on 14 pitches. It was his first save of the season as the Rangers continue to operate with a committee approach. Latz has been solid with a 1.23 ERA, 0.48 WHIP, and a 13/3 K:BB ratio across 14.2 innings of work. Given his success, Latz will likely receive more opportunities to pitch in high-leverage spots, but the Rangers also have other options to pitch in the ninth. Latz could be worth a look in deep leagues, but isn't a full-time closer at the moment.

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jordan Romano posted a horrendous outing on the mound during Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Romano came into the game in a mop-up role and only made things worse. The right-hander gave up four earned runs on three hits with one walk across 0.2 innings of work. This disaster of an outing will put Romano at a 10.13 ERA on the year. Despite a few blow-up outings, Romano is likely still the favorite for saves in Los Angeles. Given his struggles, it probably won't take much for Romano to get yanked out of the role. Fantasy managers may want to start looking elsewhere for help.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan was sharp on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Minnesota Twins. The southpaw tossed five scoreless innings, allowing three hits, while striking out seven batters in the win. This was McClanahan's best outing of the season and hopefully a turning point for him. The Rays continue to ease him into things, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to work deep into games yet. He'll take a 3.91 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 25:13 K:BB ratio into his next start against the San Francisco Giants. The southpaw has allowed two earned runs or less in four of his first five starts of the season. It's going to take time for the southpaw to build up his stamina, but he could be an elite option once he's back to full speed.
