George Springer Placed on 10-Day Injured List
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer (toe) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, Eloy Jimenez was selected to the major league roster. Springer fractured his left great toe while fouling a ball off his foot on Saturday. His absence leaves a major void, as he had led off all 14 Jays games prior to his injury. With that said, he has endured a slow start at the plate, slashing .185/.290/.370 with two home runs, a career-high 12.9% walk rate, a 22.6% strikeout rate, and 95 wRC+. It's been a small sample size, though, and there's still plenty of optimism that Springer can get back on track after posting 166 wRC+ last year. With that being said, his potential bounce-back will have to wait at least 10 days, as Springer will be on the injured list through April 21 at the earliest. He ranks #29 among outfielders in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Giancarlo Stanton Not in the Lineup on Sunday
New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In his absence, Aaron Judge will be the designated hitter while Randal Grichuk starts in right field. Stanton's power output has declined this season, as he's hit just one home run through 54 plate appearances. However, he's still been a very productive hitter, slashing .306/.370/.408 with a 9.3% walk rate, a 24.1% strikeout rate, and 132 wRC+. There haven't been any injury notes about Stanton, so this is presumably just a true opportunity for the 36-year-old to rest. We also wouldn't be surprised to see him come off the bench as a pinch-hitter in the later innings. Fantasy managers should expect Stanton to get back into the starting lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. He currently ranks #53 among outfielders in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Jacob Wilson Gets First Day Off This Season
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets. Darell Hernaiz will start in his absence, batting eighth and playing shortstop. This is the first time Wilson has missed a game this season. Presumably, he's just getting the day off, so managers shouldn't be concerned about any sort of injury. The 24-year-old is off to a subpar season at the plate, slashing .250/.250/.300 with zero home runs, zero steals, zero walks, nine strikeouts, and a career-low 53 wRC+. He is also hitless over his last two games, going 0-for-9 with four strikeouts during that span. Perhaps a trip to the bench will be the exact reset that Wilson needs to get out of his slump. He ranks #21 among shortstops in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Dodgers Monitoring Edwin Diaz's Velocity
The Los Angeles Dodgers are monitoring closer Edwin Diaz's velocity, manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of The California Post. While Roberts said that Diaz was unavailable on Saturday because he had pitched on Friday, the manager also noted that the team would be keeping a close eye on the reliever's velocity going forward. His fastball averaged 96.3 mph over his first five outings this season, and that number dropped to 94.7 mph on Friday. Both of those numbers are concerning, given that his previous career-low average fastball velocity was 97.4 mph (2025). Diaz has now allowed four earned runs over six innings of work this year, but it's been a small sample size and he still has four saves, which is tied for fourth-most in MLB. Diaz ranks #2 among relievers in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.
