Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers had his swing-and-miss stuff working to perfection on Sunday night against the division-rival Texas Rangers in what was a very impressive bounce-back outing. Detmers settled for a no-decision, but fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him to close out the week were handsomely rewarded, as the 26-year-old southpaw allowed only one earned run on a solo home run by Jake Burger while walking none and striking out a season-high 14 batters in a season-high eight innings of work to lower his season ERA to 4.57. The Angels won the game 2-1 at home, but Detmers did not factor into the decision. Still, it was a nice bounce-back outing after he surrendered a season-high eight earned runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out eight in 5 2/3 innings on May 19 in his last time out against the Athletics. Detmers is only 1-5 on the year, but he has 75 strikeouts and 19 walks in 63 innings across his 11 starts. He has fanned at least six batters in four of his last five starts and also has two nine-K performances in 2026. Detmers is only rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues and is worth a look off the waiver wire if you need strikeouts.

Miami Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix said on MLB Network Radio on Sunday that left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White (shoulder), who is currently on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville, is dealing with a "bit of a shoulder thing," and that it's not something "particularly concerning." The 21-year-old southpaw, who is considered the club's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, figured to be a candidate to make his major-league debut after fellow lefty prospect Robby Snelling needed elbow surgery and the team demoted lefty Braxton Garrett after a rough two starts in the big-league rotation. However, White is dealing with an injury of his own, although it doesn't figure to keep him out for too long. Before going on the IL at Jacksonville, White had a 4.34 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and nine walks in 18 2/3 innings across five starts. The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder could be the top option for a major-league call-up in Miami once he returns to health in the minors, and he's certainly a stash candidate in deeper leagues.

Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown (shoulder) made his first minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Double-A Corpus Christi and threw two scoreless innings with one hit allowed, no walks, and five strikeouts. It was a positive first start for Brown on the farm as he threw 21 of his 35 pitches for strikes and induced seven swings and misses on the day. The 27-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a right-shoulder injury, but he's eligible to come off the IL on June 1 and is trending toward making his return to Houston's starting rotation in the middle of June. The Astros want to see Brown get up to around 75 pitches in a rehab start before considering him as a member of the big-league rotation again. Brown is only available in 6% of Yahoo leagues after his breakout 2025 campaign, in which he went 12-9 with a 2.43 ERA (3.14 FIP) and 1.02 WHIP with a career-high 206 strikeouts and 57 walks in 185 1/3 innings across his 31 starts. Brown is the real deal and is a fantasy ace when he's healthy.

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said on SportsTalk790 on Sunday that catcher Yainer Diaz (oblique) will start his minor-league rehab assignment in the first week of June, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. The Astros placed Diaz on the 10-day injured list back on May 5 with a strained left oblique, but he is close to starting a rehab assignment after recently starting a running and hitting progression. If everything goes well once the 27-year-old backstop resumes playing in games, it's possible he could be back before the middle of June as Houston's primary catcher. Until that happens, veteran Christian Vazquez will continue to see most of the action behind the plate for the Astros. Diaz offers above-average power for a catcher when he's healthy, as he has reached the 20-homer mark in two of his three full seasons in the big leagues with Houston. Through 26 games in 2026 before landing on the shelf with his oblique injury, Diaz was hitting .238/.255/.347 with two home runs, 14 RBI, and seven runs scored in 106 plate appearances.
