Christian Moore Lands on Injured List at Triple-A
The Los Angeles Angels announced on Sunday that they placed second base prospect Christian Moore (leg) on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A Salt Lake due to a leg injury. It's an injury that has kept Moore sidelined since April 25. However, general manager Perry Minasian said Moore's injury isn't very serious and shouldn't keep him out for long. The 23-year-old former eighth overall pick in 2024 out of Tennessee made his way up to the big leagues quickly last year and made his major-league debut for the Halos, slashing just .198/.284/.370 with a .655 OPS, seven home runs, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored, three steals, 19 walks, and 62 strikeouts in 53 games and 184 plate appearances. Moore has above-average pop for a second baseman, but it was clear he wasn't ready for an everyday role in the majors just yet. Before his leg injury with the Bees, Moore had gone 16-for-73 (.219) with two home runs, 13 RBI, 20 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 21 games played. The most encouraging thing is that Moore has more walks than strikeouts. A return to the majors in 2026 should be inevitable, depending on Moore's health.

Kenley Jansen Was Available on Sunday Despite Groin Issue
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that he was going to use right-handed closer Kenley Jansen (groin) in Sunday's win over the Texas Rangers if the game had stayed close, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. It's a good sign that Jansen is healthy and back in the mix for saves after dealing with right-groin/abdomen tightness earlier last week. All signs point to Jansen being an option for the ninth inning for Monday's series opener against his former team, the Boston Red Sox. The 38-year-old veteran and four-time All-Star has six saves on the year in his first season with Detroit, but it hasn't exactly been pretty. Jansen goes into the new week with an 0-2 record, 6.14 ERA (7.65 FIP), and 1.64 WHIP with nine strikeouts and four walks in 7 1/3 innings pitched. He's been especially rough of late, allowing four runs on three hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out one in two-thirds of an inning in his last two outings. If Jansen continues to struggle or deal with physical issues, right-hander Kyle Finnegan is likely next in line for the Tigers for saves.

Sean Murphy Likely to Join the Team During Seattle Series
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that catcher Sean Murphy (hip) will likely rejoin the team during their series this week versus the Seattle Mariners, according to 680 The Fan's Barrett Sallee. The Braves kick off a three-game series in Seattle on Monday, so Murphy could make his 2026 season debut on Monday in the series opener. The 31-year-old veteran backstop opened the season on the 10-day injured list while recovering from hip surgery that he had last September. The Braves already have catchers Drake Baldwin and Jonah Heim on the big-league roster, so with Murphy on the verge of rejoining the team, Heim might be the odd man out. Fantasy managers might not want to expect too much from Murphy right away, as he went 5-for-32 during his minor-league rehab assignment. There are also plenty of questions as to whether Murphy can rediscover his pre-injury power form at the plate in Atlanta. Murphy was an All-Star with Atlanta in his first year with the team in 2023, and he's displayed above-average power for a catcher (82 homers in the last five years) since becoming a full-time starter in 2021. He's currently only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues.

Raisel Iglesias to be Activated on Tuesday
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that right-handed reliever Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday ahead of their game against the Seattle Mariners, according to Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan. Iglesias appears ready to go for the Braves despite not going on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 36-year-old veteran was placed on the IL back on April 21 with right-shoulder inflammation. Right-hander Robert Suarez performed admirably in the closer's role for Atlanta with Iglesias sidelined, but Iglesias should return to primary closing duties for the Braves upon his return this week. The Cuban hurler stumbled last year, but he finished out the 2025 campaign strong and hadn't allowed a run in 8 2/3 innings while striking out five in eight appearances to begin this season before his shoulder setback. If Iglesias was dropped in your league, scoop him up immediately. He's rostered in 92% of Yahoo leagues.
