Andrew Kittredge (knee) played catch before Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays.
Kittredge underwent knee debridement surgery at the beginning of March. The right-hander will be a high-leverage option once healthy, but there’s no timetable for a return just yet.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone did not offer an update on Marcus Stroman’s knee Saturday.
Boone did say that Stroman was meeting with team doctors, but that was it. The right-hander was shelled before leaving with knee trouble Friday, and Boone was unsure if Stroman would need to head to the injured list. It seems unlikely that the 33-year-old will be able to make his next start, at the very least.

Lucas Giolito (hamstring) will start again Tuesday for Triple-A Worcester.
Giolito will make at least one more rehab start as he recovers from his hamstring strain. The 30-year-old threw 64 pitches in his last outing, and the team will likely want him to reach around 90 pitches before he joins the rotation.
Albert Suárez

Albert Suarez (shoulder) will undergo further imaging before he resumes throwing.
The MRI won’t take place until a few weeks, but the Orioles want to make sure that his subscapularis strain has healed before they begin his rehab program. The 35-year-old remains without a timetable for return, but should have one after the imaging takes place.

Henry Davis

The Pirates are calling up Henry Davis after Joey Bart left Friday’s game with back discomfort, MLB.com’s Alex Stumpf reports.
Whether or not Bart is going on the IL is unclear. Perhaps it’ll be Oneil Cruz instead. Davis, the first overall pick in the 2021 draft, is hitting .286/.355/.393 in eight games for Triple-A Indianapolis. He’d split time with Endy Rodríguez behind the plate while Bart is sidelined.

Ryan Jeffers
MIN • C
30 days ago
Ryan Jeffers is on the bench for a second straight day Saturday against the Tigers.
No word yet on if Jeffers is banged up, but it’d be a true rarity for him to be on the bench in back-to-back games otherwise. He and Christian Vásquez have been alternating starts exactly at catcher this year, with Jeffers also making one appearance as a DH. Neither player is hitting much yet; Jeffers has a .515 OPS in 34 plate appearances, whereas Vásquez is at .455 in 23.
Gleyber Torres
DET • 2B
30 days ago
Gleyber Torres is out of Saturday’s lineup after returning from an oblique strain Friday.
There was no evidence of a setback last night. Torres was activated from the IL without the benefit of a rehab assignment, so it was probably just scheduled that he’d play two out of three in his first weekend back. Colt Keith is at second base today. With Spencer Torkelson at first, it opens up the DH spot for Justyn-Henry Malloy.
Scott Blewett
MIN •
30 days ago
Twins designated RHP Scott Blewett for assignment.
He has his chance, you know, and he... well, wait, Blewett actually allowed just one run and had a 5/0 K/BB in 4 2/3 innings for the Twins. In fact, he has a 1.80 ERA in 25 innings for the Twins since his organizational debut last year. It’s easy to imagine someone picking him up off waivers.
Kyle Farmer
COL • 2B
about 1 month ago
Kyle Farmer went 3-for-4 with two doubles in a loss to the Padres on Friday.
Farmer was responsible for all three hits for the Rockies in another ugly offensive performance for the Rockies. He can’t be traded until June, but the 34-year-old will definitely be a potential target due to his versatility this summer.
Germán Márquez
COL •
about 1 month ago
Germán Márquez allowed six runs — five earned — over 4 2/3 innings while taking a loss to the Padres on Friday.
Márquez has struggled over his last two starts, allowing nine runs over 9 2/3 innings and picking up losses in both. The right-hander was at least able to find the strike zone after throwing just 48-of-89 pitches for strikes against Oakland last Saturday, but that didn’t make him anymore effective. The 30-year-old should not even be close a fantasy lineup when he faces the Dodgers next week. Yikes.
Miguel Andujar
ATH • PH-LF
about 1 month ago
Miguel Andujar hit a two-run homer and drove in three in a loss Friday to the Mets.
Andujar has his first homer of the season with a two-run shot off Griffin Canning. He also singled in a run in the second, so he’s up to six RBI over the first 14 games. He’s hit well for the most part with a .310/.356/.405 slash, but it’s nice to see some pop from Andujar. Just keep in mind that the A’s have several young bats in the minors who could usurp the 30-year-old if he struggles.
Pete Alonso
NYM • 1B
about 1 month ago
Pete Alonso went 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBI in a win over the Athletics on Friday.
Alonso came a triple away from the cycle in another strong contest for the 30-year-old to begin 2025. He hit a sac fly in the fifth, doubled in a run in the sixth and then smacked his fourth homer of the season two innings later. Alonso can’t be counted on to hit for anywhere close to the .378 average he currently holds, but that power isn’t going anywhere.
Edwin Díaz
NYM •
about 1 month ago
Edwin Díaz gave up two runs but still was credited with a save against the Athletics on Friday.
Díaz was handed a three-run lead in the ninth, and he needed all of them. He struggled to find the strike zone while landing just 11-of-24 pitches for strikes, and he has now allowed multiple runs in back-to-back outings to see his ERA balloon to 7.94. He does at least get the save to bump his total to three in 2025, but Díaz is known to have some ugly stretches.
JP Sears
ATH •
about 1 month ago
JP Sears worked four innings and allowed three runs in a loss Friday to the Mets.
Sears gave up two runs in the second, and another was charged to him in the fifth before being pulled. He did strike out seven, but that’s not much consolation. Sears now has a 4.24 ERA on the year, and he’ll attempt to bounce back against the White Sox in Chicago on Thursday.
Griffin Canning
NYM •
about 1 month ago
Griffin Canning gave up four runs on seven hits but still picked up a win Friday over the Athletics while working 5 1/3 innings.
Canning’s line is a little misleading, as he held the A’s to just one run over five innings. The sixth was problematic, however, and he allowed three; including a two-run homer by Miguel Andujar. The 28-year-old allowed seven hits in the contest while walking three against three strikeouts. Not great, but good enough for a win thanks to plenty of run support. Canning will be back on the bump Wednesday against the Twins in Minnesota.
William Contreras
MIL • C
about 1 month ago
William Contreras drove in a pair of runs in the Brewers’ blowout win over the DIamondbacks on Friday.
Contreras drove in a run with a sac fly in the fifth, and he drove in another with an infield single in the ninth. It’s nice to see some production from Contreras over the past couple games, as he’s hitting a disappointing — but not yet panic-inducing — .174/.304/.326.
Brice Turang
MIL • 2B
about 1 month ago
Brice Turang went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in a win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.
Turang saw his 12-game hitting streak come to an end Thursday, but made up for it and then some with a big night Friday. The 25-year-old has excelled thus far in 2025 with a .328 average and .855 OPS. Fantasy managers would like to see the two-steal total shoot up, and that likely will happen based on the 50 he procured in 2024.
Eduardo Rodríguez
ARI •
about 1 month ago
Eduardo Rodriguez gave up three runs — two earned — while working 6 1/3 innings in a loss Friday to Brewers.
Rodriguez didn’t pitch terribly in his outing against the Brew Crew, but he got a literal zero in run support. The southpaw didn’t have the same swing-and-miss stuff he did against the Nationals when he fanned 12, as he struck out just three while working into the seventh inning. Rodriguez is a solid streaming option against the Marlins’ offense Thursday.
Jose Quintana
MIL •
about 1 month ago
Jose Quintana hurled seven scoreless frames to get a victory and help the Brewers to a 7-0 rout of the Diamondbacks on Friday.
Welcome to Milwaukee, Jose. Quintana was making his first start after signing with the team, and while he needed help from his defense, you can’t argue with the results. He scattered four hits and didn’t walk anyone while throwing 50-of-80 pitches for strikes. Quintana will likely face the Tigers next week, and fantasy managers shouldn’t be surprised if there’s some regression.
Tommy Edman
LAD • 2B
about 1 month ago
Tommy Edman hit a three-run homer Friday in a win over the Dodgers on Friday.
Edman was responsible for all of the offense for both teams, as his three-run jack broke up a 0-0 tie. That’s already the sixth homer of the season in 15 games for Edman, who was not exactly known for his power while a member of the Cardinals. The Dodgers have clearly found something, but some homer regression is (obviously) coming.
Matthew Boyd
CHC •
about 1 month ago
Matthew Boyd held the Dodgers to three runs in six innings but picked up a loss Friday to the Dodgers.
Boyd matched Yoshinobu Yamamoto zero-for-zero for the overwhelming majority of the contest, but in the sixth inning, Tommy Edman hit a three-run homer. It’s a disappointing end to what was an outstanding start for Boyd that saw him fan seven and generated 17 swings and misses on 98 pitches. He’ll hope for some run support against the Padres next week in San Diego.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto
LAD •
about 1 month ago
Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out nine over six scoreless innings to get a win in the Dodgers’ 3-0 victory over the Cubs on Friday.
Yamamoto was exceptional on Friday; throwing everything for strikes and showing electric movement on his offerings. The right-hander has allowed just one run over his last two outings, and his ERA is a sparkling 1.23 on the campaign. Yamamoto has pitched like an ace thus far in 2025, and he’ll get a terrible Rockies’ lineup Wednesday.
Josh Jung
TEX • 3B
about 1 month ago
Josh Jung hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs in a loss Friday to the Mariners.
Jung got the Rangers on the board with an RBI single and then blasted a two-run shot off Trent Thornton in the sixth to tie the game at 3-3. That’s the first homer of the season, but Jung has been scorching hot since coming off the injured list and is hitting a robust .474/.474/.842.
Cal Raleigh
SEA • DH
about 1 month ago
Cal Raleigh hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to help the Mariners to a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Friday.
Raleigh dumped a two-run shot over the right-centerfield fence to give Seattle a 5-3 lead. The power-hitting backstop has three homers on the season, and after hitting 34 in 2024, this is a sustainable pace. Raleigh won’t help in average, but the power production is matched by few behind the plate.
Bryce Miller
SEA •
about 1 month ago
Bryce Miller allowed one run in five innings with five strikeouts, but he didn’t get a decision Friday against the Rangers.
Miller has struggled with efficiency, and he needed 100 pitches to get through his five innings. He also struck out five to go with three walks, and outside of an RBI single from Josh Jung, he held the Rangers’ lineup in check and then some. Miller is a strong fantasy option, and that’ll remain the case Thursday even pitching in Cincinnati.
Andrés Muñoz
SEA •
about 1 month ago
Andres Muñoz picked up a save in a scoreless ninth against the Rangers on Friday.
Muñoz gave up a single, but erased that runner with a game-ending double play. The 26-year-old has had some control issues, but he has yet to give up a run and has a save in each of Seattle’s six wins.
Jacob deGrom
TEX •
about 1 month ago
Jacob deGrom allowed four runs in four innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Friday.
The 36-year-old struggled with his command, and allowed two homers and four walks. There were flashes of the old deGrom with four strikeouts, but a disappointing result consider the lineup and the park he was pitching in. He’ll face the Angels next week and look to lower a 4.30 ERA.
Dillon Dingler
DET • C
about 1 month ago
Dillon Dingler went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI on Friday night, helping to lead the Tigers to a come-from-behind 7-6 victory over the Twins in Minneapolis.
The Tigers were staring at a 4-1 deficit heading into the sixth inning but they made quick work of that with a pair of walks and three consecutive singles to start the frame, with Dingler’s RBI single tying the game at 4-4. He also led off the fifth inning with a single and scored his club’s first run on a throwing error by Matt Wallner. Dingler has been absolutely sizzling at the plate to open the season, slashing .387/.406/.677 with a pair of homers and eight RBI.
