Injury Report

Luis Arraez was removed from yesterday’s game against the Rockies due to leg cramps. The Marlins were leading by a large margin and wanted to give Arraez more of a chance to rest. This is nothing for fantasy owners to be concerned about, as Arraez should be back in the lineup either tonight or tomorrow.

Eloy Jimenez has been rehabbing in the minors with hopes of rejoining the team early next week. Jimenez has been sidelined due to an appendectomy he underwent a few weeks ago. It seems as though he has fully recovered from the procedure and is eager to help get the White Sox back on track.

Carlos Rodón has been playing catch and has been reaching the mid-80s with his velocity. He hasn't returned to the mound yet, but his ability to play catch with some velocity without experiencing back pain is a good sign. He is still at least a few weeks away from returning, but hopefully, fantasy owners can have him back in their lineup by the end of June or early July.

Notable Performances

Michael Kopech pitched a gem against the Guardians going 7 shutout innings with 9 K’s while only allowing 2 hits. The 27 year old got off to a horrible start this season but now appears to be locked in as he has 0 ER’s and 19 K’s over his last two starts. Kopech has always had the stuff to be an elite pitcher but has struggled with consistency over the years. Fantasy managers are hopeful this is the turn of the page and he continue the success.

Bryce Miller continued his brilliant rookie season throwing 6 shutout innings with 6 K’s and allowing 2 hits. The 24 year old has not disappointed yet this year, giving 0 ER’s in 3/5 starts. His season statline is a stellar 3-1 with a 1.15 ERA and 28 K’s through 31.3 IP. Miller continues to be a reliable option that fantasy managers don’t have to worry about until he proves otherwise.

Gleyber Torres had himself a night at the plate going 2-4 with 2 HR’s and 3 RBI’s in the Yankees tough 9-6 loss to the Orioles. The second baseman gave the Yankees an early 2-0 lead while adding his second HR in the 5th to make it 5-1. The 26 year old has been having a productive year hitting .264 with 9 HR’s and 25 RBI’s. His ship may have sailed on being the elite player many thought he would be. However, he is proving that he can still be an above average MLB player. While he won’t put up mind blowing stats, fantasy managers can rest easy with him in their lineup.
