Cowser won’t be ready to return until at least early June as he continues his rehabilitation from surgery to repair a fractured left thumb. He should be ready to head out on a minor league rehab assignment in a couple weeks, but has yet to resume baseball activities.

Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt told reporters Bryant’s visit with orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Robert Watkins will determine the next steps in his rehabilitation process. The 33-year-old was diagnosed earlier this month with lumbar degenerative disease and will have to manage the ongoing issue for the remainder of his playing career. There is no timetable for his return at the moment.

Ramírez has been the talk of the fantasy baseball universe since arriving in the majors last week, hitting .474 (9-for-19) with three homers, five RBI and one steal through his first five games. The 23-year-old has some legitimate defensive concerns, but he’s one of the most advanced hitters of any catching prospect in the game and possesses uncommon stolen base prowess for a below-average runner. He’s rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture and should remain a middle-of-the-order run producer in the heart of Miami’s lineup.

It’s an extremely rare day off for Edman, who is hitting .243/.284/.514 with eight homers, 19 RBI and one steal through 28 games. The versatile 29-year-old has cooled off considerably after a scorching-hot start to the year, hitting .111 (3-for-27) over his last seven games. It’ll be freshly-minted NL Player of the Week, Andy Pages, in center field on Monday night at Dodger Stadium.

It certainly doesn’t sound like Stroman is close to making it back to New York’s rotation mix at any point in the near future. The 33-year-old righty received a cortisone injection a couple weeks ago after landing on the shelf with left knee inflammation and has yet to resume throwing off a mound. It’s looking like he’ll be out until sometime around midseason.

Dunning rejoins the Rangers’ relief mix just a couple weeks after being jettisoned from the club’s 40-man roster altogether. The 30-year-old righty failed to make Texas’ season-opening roster, but he’ll get another look in long relief after posting a pedestrian 5.40 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 21/9 K/BB ratio across 20 innings (five starts) for Triple-A Round Rock in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Robert made four relief appearances last year for the Rangers and figures to pass through waivers unclaimed. The 30-year-old righty holds a strong 1.54 ERA across 11 2/3 innings (10 appearances) this season for Triple-A Round Rock.

Kurtz takes a seat with lefty Patrick Corbin on the mound for Monday’s series opener at Globe Life Field. The 22-year-old top prospect is hitting .250 (4-for-16) with three RBI through five games since being promoted last week to the big leagues. Some initial turbulence isn’t unexpected as Kurtz acclimates to life in the majors less than a calendar year after being selected fourth overall in the draft. It’ll be Tyler Soderstrom at the cold corner on Monday night in his place.

Peña finds himself in the leadoff spot for the second consecutive contest with Jose Altuve hitting second after sitting out Sunday’s series finale against Kansas City. The Houston Chronicle’s Matt Kawahara notes it’s the first time Altuve hasn’t led off since June 17, 2023. Peña, who has moved around between several lineup spots this season, is hitting .255 (25-for-98) with three homers and five steals through 27 games.

Jung is back at third base and batting sixth for Monday’s series opener at Globe Life Field following an early exit from Sunday’s showdown against the Giants with a right finger laceration. The fact that he’s already back in the lineup seems to indicate that the Rangers aren’t too concerned, which has to give fantasy managers confidence ahead of weekly lineup locks.

Orioles general manager Mike Elias told reporters a couple weeks ago that Cowser was likely to return in late May or early June. He hasn’t experienced any setbacks in his recovery from surgery to repair a fractured left thumb. He should be ready to head out on a minor league rehab assignment in a couple weeks.

Wells is ramping up his throwing program as he targets a second-half return to Baltimore’s rotation mix from last year’s elbow surgery. It wasn’t a full Tommy John reconstructive surgery, so we’re assuming he’ll be ready to return at some point around midseason.

Gibson, who signed with the Orioles in late March, returns to the majors having posted a 3.75 ERA and a 13/2 K/BB in 12 innings over three minor league outings. He might offer some AL-only value over the rest of the season, but mixed leagues don’t need to bother.

Westburg will miss his second straight contest due to ongoing hamstring soreness that cropped up during the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Tigers. He’s day-to-day for the moment and will undergo some additional testing to rule out anything serious. The 26-year-old infielder has been on fire lately, hitting .310 (9-for-29) with one homer and two RBI over his last seven games. It’ll be veteran Ramón Urías at the hot corner on Monday night in his absence.

If it’s a routine day off, it’s his first against a right-hander this season. Rice has slowed down in recent days, going 3-for-25 with a homer and 10 strikeouts in his last eight games. The Yankees have Trent Grisham in the outfield and Jasson Domínguez at DH tonight, It’s just the second time Domínguez has DH’d this year.

This is the third of those four absences to come against a righty. The Cardinals are prioritizing the development of Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker for now, leaving Burleson on the outside looking in. It also obviously hasn’t helped that Burleson is without a homer in 83 plate appearances this season.

Lawrence had already cleared waivers twice this month, but the Jays decided to bring him back to provide some innings for his original organization. He’s out of options — he is 37 after all — so he’ll be added to the major league roster on Tuesday, and he might get a start this week with Easton Lucas demoted. Lawrence had a 3.60 ERA and a 4/1 K/BB in 10 innings for the Mariners.

Bolton will be making his Guardians debut. The 26-year-old had a 6.33 ERA in 16 relief appearances for the Pirates in 2023 and a 4.34 ERA in 17 relief appearances for the Mariners last season. The Guardians picked him up earlier this month after Seattle designated him for assignment.

Cantillo had a 2.35 ERA in 15 1/3 innings out of the bullpen, though that was largely because five of the nine runs he’d allowed were unearned. One imagines the Guardians will stretch him back out now to have him available as a rotation alternative. He threw a season-high 55 pitches on Sunday, so he wasn’t going to be available for a couple of days anyway.
