Toronto Blue Jays shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmala has been promoted to Double-A New Hampshire, according to Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. He had been hitting the ball quite well at High-A so far this season, slashing .241/.360/.482 with four home runs, 19 RBI, and 133 wRC+ as a member of the Vancouver Canadiens. A first-round pick back in 2023, Nimmala has a power-oriented swing but still makes enough contact to avoid being a major strikeout liability. Defensively, he plays well enough to project as a future everyday shortstop in the major leagues. His MLB debut is still a while away, but being promoted to Double-A is certainly a step in the right direction. Nimmala ranks #22 among shortstop prospects in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy baseball rankings.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (side) exited after the third inning of Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He was diagnosed with left side tightness, and he will undergo further evaluation. Torres' final at-bat came in the second inning, but he played the entire third inning on defense before being lifted for Hao-Yu Lee. At the time of his departure, the veteran infielder had gone 2-for-2 with a pair of singles and an RBI. In total this season, he's slashing .259/.389/.328 with two homers, two doubles, and 11 RBI. The power isn't very prominent, but he's been an on-base machine with more walks (17.4% walk rate) than strikeouts (15.3% strikeout rate). Torres currently ranks #19 among second basemen in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (undisclosed) was scratched from the starting lineup prior to the first pitch of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Raleigh had been slated to bat second, and he was replaced by catcher Mitch Garver, who hit eighth. The Mariners didn't provide a reason for Raleigh's absence, but it could be injury-related. After all, the team promoted catcher Jhonny Pereda on Saturday. With Garver already on the roster, it seems unlikely that the Mariners would need Pereda on the 26-man roster if Raleigh were healthy enough to play. Fans and fantasy managers will hope to receive additional updates from the team on Saturday night or Sunday morning. It's been a rough start to the year for last year's AL MVP runner-up. He has seven homers through 33 games, but he's slashing just .186/.272/.380 with 86 wRC+ and a 29.3% strikeout rate. For now, the 29-year-old still ranks #1 among catchers in RotoBaller's latest 2026 fantasy baseball rankings.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (hand, foot) exited during the third inning of Saturday's rehab assignment at the Triple-A level. Chourio is working his way back from a hairline fracture in his left hand, so fans and fantasy managers held their breath after he fouled a ball off his foot and left the game. Fortunately, the Brewers announced that Chourio was lifted from the game for precautionary reasons. It doesn't sound like the foot injury is serious, and it shouldn't create any setbacks or delays in his recovery from the hand injury. Chourio has spent more than a month on the injured list, and while he's eligible to remain on rehab assignment until late May, it seems likely that he'll return sooner than that point. He hasn't played in the majors since last season, when he slashed .270/.308/.463 with 21 homers, 21 steals, and 111 wRC+. Despite the injury, he currently ranks #10 among outfielders in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.
