Toronto Blue Jays shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmala has been promoted to Double-A New Hampshire, according to Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. He had been hitting the ball quite well at High-A so far this season, slashing .241/.360/.482 with four home runs, 19 RBI, and 133 wRC+ as a member of the Vancouver Canadiens. A first-round pick back in 2023, Nimmala has a power-oriented swing but still makes enough contact to avoid being a major strikeout liability. Defensively, he plays well enough to project as a future everyday shortstop in the major leagues. His MLB debut is still a while away, but being promoted to Double-A is certainly a step in the right direction. Nimmala ranks #22 among shortstop prospects in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy baseball rankings.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (undisclosed) was scratched from the starting lineup prior to the first pitch of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Raleigh had been slated to bat second, and he was replaced by catcher Mitch Garver, who hit eighth. The Mariners didn't provide a reason for Raleigh's absence, but it could be injury-related. After all, the team promoted catcher Jhonny Pereda on Saturday. With Garver already on the roster, it seems unlikely that the Mariners would need Pereda on the 26-man roster if Raleigh were healthy enough to play. Fans and fantasy managers will hope to receive additional updates from the team on Saturday night or Sunday morning. It's been a rough start to the year for last year's AL MVP runner-up. He has seven homers through 33 games, but he's slashing just .186/.272/.380 with 86 wRC+ and a 29.3% strikeout rate. For now, the 29-year-old still ranks #1 among catchers in RotoBaller's latest 2026 fantasy baseball rankings.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (side) exited after the third inning of Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He was diagnosed with left side tightness, and he will undergo further evaluation. Torres' final at-bat came in the second inning, but he played the entire third inning on defense before being lifted for Hao-Yu Lee. At the time of his departure, the veteran infielder had gone 2-for-2 with a pair of singles and an RBI. In total this season, he's slashing .259/.389/.328 with two homers, two doubles, and 11 RBI. The power isn't very prominent, but he's been an on-base machine with more walks (17.4% walk rate) than strikeouts (15.3% strikeout rate). Torres currently ranks #19 among second basemen in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (hand, foot) exited during the third inning of Saturday's rehab assignment at the Triple-A level. Chourio is working his way back from a hairline fracture in his left hand, so fans and fantasy managers held their breath after he fouled a ball off his foot and left the game. Fortunately, the Brewers announced that Chourio was lifted from the game for precautionary reasons. It doesn't sound like the foot injury is serious, and it shouldn't create any setbacks or delays in his recovery from the hand injury. Chourio has spent more than a month on the injured list, and while he's eligible to remain on rehab assignment until late May, it seems likely that he'll return sooner than that point. He hasn't played in the majors since last season, when he slashed .270/.308/.463 with 21 homers, 21 steals, and 111 wRC+. Despite the injury, he currently ranks #10 among outfielders in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) exited during the second inning of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was replaced in the lineup by outfielder Eli White. According to the Braves, Acuna experienced left hamstring tightness following a groundout. He finished the contest 1-for-2 with a single and a run. The former MVP and Rookie of the Year is having a solid season at the plate, slashing .252/.362/.378 with two home runs, 11 total extra base hits, a 13.2% walk rate, and a 20.4% strikeout rate. He has also stolen 11 bases on 14 attempts. Fantasy managers will hope that Acuna doesn't have to miss much time, if any at all. He ranks as the #2 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker (head) exited during the ninth inning of Saturday's win over the Boston Red Sox after being hit by a pitch in the head. A 93 mph fastball from Tyler Samaniego snuck right under the brim of Walker's helmet, and he was forced to leave the game. He had been having a terrific day up to that point, going 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs, and two RBI (plus the hit by pitch). After a subpar 2025 season, the veteran first baseman is off to a great start in 2026. He owns a .309/.386/.577 slash line with nine home runs, eight doubles, a 10% walk rate, and a 17% strikeout rate. Given how well he has been playing, fantasy managers will hope that his injury absence doesn't last too long. It's worth noting that Walker did speak to the media postgame, and he said that he passed the team's concussion tests. He's optimistic that he can play in the series finale on Sunday. The 35-year-old currently ranks #21 among first basemen in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Kenley Jansen (groin) is considered day-to-day after picking up an injury during his most recent outing on Wednesday. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed on Saturday that Jansen is sidelined at the moment with right groin/abdomen soreness. It doesn't sound like something that will require a trip to the Injured List, but that'll depend on how he progresses. Kyle Finnegan picked up the save on Thursday. He's likely the favorite to get saves in Detroit with Will Vest (forearm) landing on the 15-day Injured List on Saturday. Fantasy managers who are looking for a source for saves should consider adding Finnegan while Jansen is out.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) appears to have avoided any significant injuries. The right-hander was forced to make an early exit from Friday's start against the Washington Nationals. He was pulled in the sixth inning with a no-hit bid due to right hamstring cramping. Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed optimism that Misiorowski will be able to make his next start. He'll have some time to rest with his next outing not being until Wednesday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Misiorowski will need to get through a bullpen session before being officially cleared to pitch. The hope is that the star right-hander won't be forced to miss any time at all. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update ahead of Wednesday's start.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Nimmo was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right hamstring injury. The Rangers are going to play it safe and hold out Nimmo for at least one game as a precaution. Ezequiel Duran will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus right-hander Keider Montero on Saturday. Fantasy managers should consider Nimmo as day-to-day and should check back for another update on Sunday.

From RotoBaller

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) will miss at least one more week of action. He rejoined the team on Saturday ahead of their game against the Detroit Tigers. However, Langford won't play and will rest for a full week before being re-evaluated by the organization. He was on track to play on Saturday before aggravating his forearm injury during a rehab game on Thursday. The Rangers are going to play it safe and give Langford a week to rest and recover. The Rangers should give an updated timetable on his return once he resumes baseball activities.

From RotoBaller

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quad) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Harris returns to the starting lineup after missing two consecutive starts due to left quad soreness. He did come off the bench and hit a go-ahead home run during Friday's win. He appears to be healthy enough to rejoin the lineup, but he'll remain at designated hitter for this one. Through 31 games, Harris is slashing .324/.358/.569 with seven homers, 22 RBI, and two steals. The 25-year-old should be rostered and started in all fantasy formats right now.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (foot) was removed during Saturday's game after getting hit by a pitch on the left foot. This is bad timing with Springer recently returning after missing time from a fractured left big toe. He underwent an MRI, which revealed no new damage to his left toe. Jays' manager John Schneider mentioned that Springer will get the day off on Sunday, but will hopefully be fine in a few days. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry about Springer requiring another stint on the Injured List. They might need a replacement for a few days, but Springer should be back early next week.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson got off to a brutal start to the 2026 season, failing to hit a home run through his first 86 plate appearances of the year. However, the 26-year-old burst out of his early-season power outage in a big way, going deep in five consecutive games from April 22 to April 26. Across 124 plate appearances overall, Torkelson is hitting .233/.363/.437 with five home runs, 12 RBI, and 12 runs scored. While Torkelson's 27.4% strikeout rate limits his batting average upside, his 14.5% barrel rate is indicative of his significant power potential. Torkelson has also walked at a 16.1% clip so far this year, which should help keep his place in the Tigers' lineup secure. For fantasy managers searching for power off the waiver wire, Torkelson is a logical target.

Across 11 1/3 innings so far in 2026, Houston Astros reliever Enyel De Los Santos has pitched to a 5.56 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and three saves. With Astros closer Josh Hader (biceps) on the 60-day injured list due to a biceps injury, De Los Santos has been pressed into a more prominent role in the Houston bullpen. The 30-year-old's overall line is inflated by a couple of three-earned-run outings, but he's three-for-three on save chances this season. The Astros also lack a great alternative for De Los Santos, and Hader is not eligible to return from the IL until late May at the earliest. Currently posting just an 11.8% K-BB rate, De Los Santos is far from a prototypical closer. Still, he looks like the arm to target in Houston for fantasy managers in desperate need of saves.

From RotoBaller

Across 13 innings so far in 2026, Chicago White Sox closer Seranthony Dominguez has pitched to a 4.15 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 16 strikeouts and seven saves. The 31-year-old is prone to the occasional blow-up outing, as he's logged three appearances this season where he's allowed at least two runs. Dominguez owns both an elevated walk rate (15.5%) and an elevated HR/9 (2.08), a dangerous combination for his ERA. Still, the veteran right-hander has struck out 27.6% of the batters he's faced so far this season and remains locked in to the ninth-inning role in the White Sox bullpen. He's also currently riding a bit of a hot streak, as he's allowed just one earned run since April 16. In any league where he may have been dropped, Dominguez should be targeted on the waiver wire.
