All Player News

Grae Kessinger

HOU Shortstop #16

Astros placed INF Grae Kessinger on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 28, with right shoulder discomfort.

Kessinger was sidelined prior to the regular season with a hamstring injury, but now he’ll need the injured list with a shoulder injury. The decision opened up a roster spot for Astros’ top prospect Joey Loperfido.
Joel Kuhnel

HOU Relief Pitcher #72

Astros designated RHP Joel Kuhnel for assignment.

Kuhnel will hit waivers after the Astros called up their top prospect Joey Loperfido. The 29-year-old reliever made one appearance with Houston and allowed four earned runs in two innings of work.
Joey Loperfido

HOU First Baseman

Astros selected the contract of top prospect 1B/OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land.

The 24-year-old will get his first action in the majors after a successful start at Triple-A this season. Loperfido has slashed .287/.393/.713 with 13 round trippers and 27 RBI in 25 games. If he’s still available on waivers, fantasy managers should snag him before it’s too late.
Mark Vientos

NYM Third Baseman #27

Mets optioned INF Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse

Vientos will head back to the minors after the team activated Starling Marte from the bereavement. The 24-year-old went 3-for-7 with two RBI in his three games while with the Mets, so he did himself some good to be considered for a call up later in the season if there is an open slot.
Starling Marte

NYM Center Fielder #6

Mets activated OF Starling Marte from the bereavement list.

The 35-year-old returns to the active roster after a few days on the bereavement list. Marte is slashing an impressive .288/.327/.442 with four homers and 12 RBI in his 111 plate appearances this season.
Mike Brosseau

NYM Third Baseman #15

Mets signed veteran INF Mike Brosseau to minor league contract.

Brosseau was released by the Royals last week and now finds himself with the Mets organization where he’ll be a utility depth piece for New York. The 30-year-old journeyman has played SS, 2B, 3B, 1B, RF, LF and has even pitched in the majors.
Lucas Gilbreath

COL Relief Pitcher #58

Rockies transferred LHP Lucas Gilbreath to the 60-day injured list with a left elbow injury.

Gilbreath was placed on the injured list prior to the regular season and will need more time to get back to full strength. He could return at some point during the middle of the season, but as of now, it doesn’t look like the Rockies are rushing him back anytime soon.
Nolan Jones

COL Left Fielder #22

Rockies placed OF Nolan Jones on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 29, with a low back strain.

Jones was removed from last Sunday’s game due to back tightness and now will head to the injured list until at least mid-May. The 25-year-old is slashing .170/.243/.277 through his first 26 games this season, which is definitely a disappointment for fantasy managers that drafted him expecting more of the same in 2023, but he’s hit somewhat of a sophomore slump.
Jordan Beck

COL Left Fielder #80

Rockies selected the contract of OF Jordan Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The Rockies’ No. 4 prospect is getting the call up as team places Nolan Jones on the injured list. The 23-year-old outfielder has been crushing it at the Triple-A level this season where he’s batting .307/.405/.594 with five homers and 28 RBI in 25 games this season. He’ll be playing in left field and batting eighth in Colorado’s lineup on Wednesday.
Matt Bowman

MIN Relief Pitcher #51

Twins designated RHP Matt Bowman for assignment.

The 32-year-old right-hander will hit waivers with the Twins activating Jhoan Duran from the injured list. Bowman made five appearances across 11 days and posted a solid 2.35 ERA and six strikeouts across 7 2/3 innings of work. It would be shocking if a team didn’t take a chance on the journeyman.

Is Mervis worth another look after Cubs callup?

April 29, 2024 04:11 PM

Matt Mervis is likely headed for a platoon role, but his bat certainly has the pop to make an impact as he gets another shot to prove his big league credentials to the Chicago Cubs.
