Jose Caballero has Fractured Finger
Updating a previous report, the New York Yankees placed infielder/outfielder Jose Caballero (finger) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right middle-finger fracture. Caballero suffered a fractured finger when he dove back to first base in Sunday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, and now he will likely miss at least several weeks. The 29-year-old speedster had been serving as the team's starting shortstop since Opening Day, but now Anthony Volpe is back from the minors to fill that role in the Bronx. The earliest that Caballero can return from the IL will be on May 21. It's unclear as of now if Caballero will return to starting duties at the 6 for the Yanks when his finger is all healed up. Through 41 games before fracturing his finger, Caballero slashed .259/.320/.400 with a .720 OPS, four home runs, 13 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 18 runs scored across 147 plate appearances. The native of Panama is currently rostered in 77% of Yahoo leagues and is mostly useful in fantasy leagues for his speed on the basepaths.

Luis Robert Jr. "Not Progressing" the Way the Mets Would Like
New York Mets outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back), who is on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar spine disc herniation, continues to experience symptoms and "is not progressing the way we would like," manager Carlos Mendoza told Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. It doesn't sound like Robert will be back anytime soon, which potentially gives outfield prospect A.J. Ewing a long runway to establish himself in center field in Queens. Given the nature of Robert's injury and his lengthy injury history, we would not be surprised if this ends up being something that wrecks the rest of his first year with the Mets. The 28-year-old Cuban outfielder was struggling offensively before his injury, too, hitting .224 (19-for-85) with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs, and two steals in 24 games played. Fantasy managers are starting to run out of patience with Robert, who, aside from his 38-homer, 20-steal season in 2023 with the Chicago White Sox, has failed to live up to lofty expectations. It's going to be an extended absence for Robert, who is now rostered in 60% of Yahoo leagues.

Roman Anthony hasn't Resumed Baseball Activities
The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey reports that Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) is progressing, but he has not resumed baseball activities. His next test will be to see if he has full grip strength to grip a bat. Anthony isn't anywhere close to coming off the 10-day injured list after suffering a sprained right wrist. Boston will most likely take it very slow with the 21-year-old former top prospect, so there's a chance he won't be ready by the end of May. Masataka Yoshida has benefited from Anthony's injury and continues to see consistent playing time for the BoSox. He's hitting .279 (19-for-68), but it has come with just five RBI and no home runs in 25 games played. Fantasy managers have to be worried that Anthony's 2026 campaign is quickly turning into a lost season, and he's also quickly developing a reputation for being injury-prone after his rookie campaign was also cut short due to injury in 2025. Despite the concerns, the former second-rounder needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats for his high-end power/speed upside.

Garrett Crochet Resumes Throwing Off a Mound
Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet (shoulder) is progressing and resumed throwing off a mound on Tuesday after getting out to 120 feet while playing catch on Sunday, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Crochet is currently on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his left shoulder. He will likely require at least one minor-league rehab start before rejoining Boston's starting rotation, but barring a setback, the two-time All-Star should be back well in advance of the start of June. Crochet finished second in the American League Cy Young voting in 2025 in his first year in Beantown after going 18-5 with a 2.59 ERA (2.89 FIP) and 1.03 WHIP with a league-high 255 strikeouts and 46 walks in a league-high 205 1/3 innings across 32 starts. Crochet is one of the most talented left-handed arms in baseball, even if his 2026 numbers don't reflect that. He went 3-3 with a 6.30 ERA (4.32 FIP) and 1.47 WHIP with 37 K's and 11 walks in six starts before going on the IL. Crochet is a must-stash pitcher in all fantasy baseball leagues.
