  • Austin Voth RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Austin Voth: Dropped from 40-man roster

    The Blue Jays designated Voth for assignment Monday.

    Just one day after being called up from Triple-A Buffalo, Voth will surrender his spot on Toronto's 40-man roster. The right-hander will be replaced by lefty Josh Fleming, whose contract was selected from Buffalo in a corresponding move. Fleming will provide the Blue Jays with a fresh arm capable of covering multiple frames out of the bullpen after Voth yielded one earned run on three hits and one walk across 2.2 innings during his Toronto debut in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the White Sox.

  • Shane Drohan SP | MIL

    Brewers' Shane Drohan: Receives call to Milwaukee

    The Brewers recalled Drohan from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Acquired from the Red Sox in February, Drohan turned in a strong spring for the Brewers (4.26 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 15:4 K:B in 12.2 innings), but he was unable to come away with a spot on the Opening Day roster. After beginning the season in the Triple-A rotation, Drohan didn't have to wait long to get his first call-up to Milwaukee. The 27-year-old southpaw will be a candidate to make starts down the road, but for the time being, he'll serve as a multi-inning relief option out of the Brewers bullpen. Milwaukee placed fellow lefty Jared Koenig (elbow) on the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Jared Koenig SP | MIL

    Brewers' Jared Koenig: Goes on IL with sprained elbow

    The Brewers placed Koenig on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left elbow sprain.

    The left-hander has been diagnosed with UCL damage but will attempt to rehab the injury, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He's expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks. Koenig has been a valuable piece out of the Milwaukee bullpen since 2024, posting a 2.62 ERA and 24.7 percent strikeout rate. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be filled by Shane Drohan, who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

  • Nathan Church OF | STL

    Cardinals' Nathan Church: Sitting against right-hander

    Church is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

    Right-hander Zack Littell is taking the ball for the Nationals, marking the first time in eight games versus righties this season that the left-handed-hitting Church has been out of the lineup. Jose Fermin will handle left field and bat eighth for the Cardinals. Church is just 3-for-26 with a 1:8 BB:K at the dish this season.

  • Aidan Smith CF | TB

    Rays' Aidan Smith: Season debut delayed

    Smith is sidelined at High-A Bowling Green with a hamstring injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Smith is not officially listed on the injured list, but he hasn't played in a game yet this season. Once healthy, Smith could soon earn a bump to Double-A, as he played in 102 games at High-A last year.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Not starting Monday

    Pages is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Nationals.

    Pages will begin the contest on the bench as Ivan Herrera gets a start at catcher. The 27-year-old Pages has drawn starts in six of 10 games thus far and appeared off the bench in one additional contest.

  • Ty Johnson SP | TB

    Rays' Ty Johnson: Yet to make Triple-A debut

    Triple-A Durham placed Johnson on the 7-day injured list due to a lower-back strain, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    He isn't officially listed on the IL, but Dykstra's reporting coincides with the fact Johnson hasn't made his season debut yet, so we can consider the latter out indefinitely. He is a controversial prospect -- as his minor-league results have been outstanding -- but he's a righty who leans almost exclusively on his fastball and slider, so there are some detractors who believe he fits best in the bullpen long term.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Remains out of lineup

    Winn (hip) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Nationals.

    Winn will miss out on a third straight start after he exited Friday's game in Detroit due to left hip tightness. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Winn remains day-to-day, but he's set to go through a full pregame workout to determine his availability off the bench, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Thomas Saggese will draw another start at shortstop in Winn's place.

  • Rays' Slater de Brun: Recovering from surgery

    The Florida Complex League Rays placed de Brun on the 60-day injured list March 26 as he recovers from wrist surgery, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Per Dykstra, de Brun underwent wrist surgery before he was traded from the Orioles to the Rays as part of the return for Shane Baz. It is not expected to be a long-term absence. De Brun will presumably return before the conclusion of the FCL season before heading to Single-A Charleston for the remainder of the season.

  • Joey Wiemer CF | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Wiemer: Sitting against another RHP

    Wiemer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    On the bench for the third time in four matchups versus a righty starter (Andre Pallante), the right-handed-hitting Wiemer appears as though he'll have to settle for a more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching. Wiemer is still maintaining a sizzling .476/.577/.857 slash line over 26 plate appearances on the season, but he's been much more effective against lefties (2.092 OPS) than righties (.825 OPS).
