The San Francisco Giants are promoting top first base prospect Bryce Eldridge to the major league roster ahead of Monday's contest against the San Diego Padres. Eldridge is considered the team's No. 1-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the overall No. 20 in the sport. Eldridge was in serious consideration to break camp as a first baseman/designated hitter, sharing time with Rafael Devers, but ultimately fell short in the competition. However, Eldridge has enjoyed a productive start to the campaign with Triple-A Sacramento and will earn an early promotion to the majors. Through 30 games with the River Cats this spring, Eldridge has gone deep five times while holding a .333/.445/.518 slash line. Even though Eldridge struggled in his brief MLB stint last season, he is a top target on the waiver wire ahead of his promotion, given his elite raw power upside.

According to Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the New York Yankees have activated shortstop Anthony Volpe (elbow) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A. Volpe was expected to take on the starting shortstop role in the Bronx ahead of his return from injury, but the Yankees will instead keep him in the minor leagues for the time being. During his 13-game rehab assignment with Double-A and Triple-A, the former top prospect held a .250/.306/.318 slash line with one home run and two stolen bases. Volpe was held out of action early in the season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Last season, the infielder held a low .212 AVG but showed upside in the power and speed departments, hitting 19 home runs with swiping 18 bags. For the time being, Jose Caballero figures to be the primary shortstop and is worth adding in all standard formats.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) might not require a minor-league rehab assignment. On Sunday, Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said Duran might not need a rehab assignment before being activated from the Injured List. Duran was touching 100 mph during a successful bullpen session on Saturday. All signs are pointing to Duran being activated off the 15-day IL early next week. Brad Keller has been filling in as the closer in Philly, but his fantasy value will take a hit once Duran returns.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Eric Lauer will take the mound against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The southpaw will get at least one more turn through the rotation with Jose Berrios (elbow) still sidelined. Lauer was blasted for seven runs on April 11 against the Minnesota Twins, but has been solid since then. Over his last two starts, Lauer has tossed 9.1 innings, allowing four earned runs with four strikeouts. The Rays' lineup isn't exactly scary for an opposing pitcher, so Lauer should be able to offer decent value. The southpaw could be a possible deep league streaming option for that one.
