Drew Anderson RP | DET
Tigers' Drew Anderson: Pitches better Monday
Anderson allowed one run on two hits across three innings of relief in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Twins. He walked two and struck out four.
Anderson relieved Detroit starter Casey Mize, who was mostly ineffective across 4.1 innings. The former kept Detroit in the game in his most effective outing so far this season, though he still didn't keep the opposition off the scoreboard. Anderson has been scored on in all four of his appearances, and he's sitting with a 7.11 ERA overall, so he still leaves a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective. The righty should stick in a long-relief role for the Tigers.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Headed for IL
Hays is expected to require a trip to the 10-day injured list after being diagnosed with a right hamstring strain, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Hays picked up the hamstring injury while playing the field Monday night against Baltimore, and he appears headed for the shelf after further evaluation. An official move will likely be made Tuesday, which could include calling up outfield help.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Displays impressive eye Monday
Torres went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.
Torres managed to have a solid fantasy performance without getting a hit as he displayed his strong eye at the plate. The veteran infielder posted a 13.8 percent walk rate in 2025, which was nearly four points higher than the year before, and he's hovering around 28 percent so far this season. If Torres can keep getting on base at a good clip, he should be able to rack up plenty of runs batting ahead of the likes of Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.

Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Tallies first stolen base
McGonigle went 1-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Twins.
McGonigle has had a nice start to his MLB career, as he's now batting .289 with an .833 OPS across his first 10 games. His stolen base Monday was his first at the MLB level, and he's tacked on five RBI and six runs scored. McGonigle is still looking for his first MLB home run, but it's otherwise been a great rookie campaign so far, and he should continue to see regular playing time moving forward. While there might be some bumps along the way, the 21-year-old looks ready to fully break out as a fantasy star.

Nick Raquet P | BAL
Orioles' Nick Raquet: Heading to Baltimore
Raquet was traded from the Cardinals to the Orioles on Monday in exchange for Brayden Smith, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Raquet was designated for assignment by St. Louis on Sunday and is now set for a fresh start in Baltimore. The southpaw appeared briefly in the major leagues in 2025 for the Cardinals, as he tossed two scoreless frames in two appearances. Raquet figures to report to Triple-A Norfolk following Monday's trade.

Max Scherzer SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Dealing with forearm tendinitis
Scherzer exited Monday's start against the Dodgers early due to right forearm tendinitis, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two over two innings and took the loss.
Scherzer departed Monday's outing after only 36 pitches, though the team waited until after the game to reveal the reason for his exit. Manager John Schneider stated after the loss that Scherzer had been experiencing the tendinitis for a few days leading up to the start, and the issue didn't get any worse, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The expectation is that Scherzer will make his next start, which tentatively lines up for Saturday against Minnesota.

Austin Hays LF | CHW
White Sox's Austin Hays: Departs early Monday
Hays was lifted from Monday's game against the Orioles due to a right hamstring strain.
Hays pulled up early on an attempt to chase down a ball hit down the line in the top of the fourth inning, and he was forced to exit immediately after the play. The White Sox are calling the injury a right hamstring strain, and he'll be sent for further evaluation to determine if a trip to the injured list is warranted.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Nursing hamstring issue
Arias was removed from Monday's game against Kansas City due to left hamstring tightness, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear at this time whether Arias will require a stint on the injured list. The Guardians will presumably send their starting shortstop for further testing before providing an update on his availability for Tuesday and beyond.

Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Exits early Monday
Arias left Monday's game against the Royals due to an apparent left leg injury, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Jose Corniell SP | TEX
Rangers' Jose Corniell: Still in 'dead arm' phase
Corniell remains unavailable to pitch as he goes through a "dead arm" phase, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Corniell missed nearly all of spring training and it's unclear when he might be ready to pitch in games. The 22-year-old is likely to be part of the rotation at Double-A Frisco once he's physically ready. Corniell missed all of 2024 and much of 2025 while recovering from UCL surgery, so he needs to make up for lost time.
