Roman Anthony

BOS Left Fielder #19

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Roman Anthony (wrist, finger) is scheduled to hit off a batting tee on Thursday.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters Anthony took more swings prior to Tuesday’s game against the Braves and will continue ramping up his hitting progression. The 22-year-old former top prospect has been working his way back from a ligament sprain in his ring finger in addition to a wrist sprain. There’s a chance he’s ready for a minor league rehab assignment at some point in early June based on his current trajectory.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Ronald Acuňa went hitless in Wednesday’s loss to the Red Sox.

Acuňa drew a leadoff walk to start the game and swiped second base shortly after, but the veteran right fielder was again held without a hit for the fourth time in his last five games. Acuňa has struggled all season and is slashing a pedestrian .222/.349/.250 in May with four games left to go this month.
Charles McAdoo

TOR 3rd Baseman

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Blue Jays are calling up infield prospect Charles McAdoo from Triple-A Buffalo.

McAdoo receives his first call up to the big leagues after hitting .250/.356/.436 with eight homers and six steals in 202 plate appearances over 49 games at the Triple-A level this season. The 24-year-old defensive versatility is his signature calling card as he’s played three different infield positions this season. No word yet on the corresponding move, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see Toronto move on from Lenyn Sosa with McAdoo making more sense in a reserve role.
Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #3

Ceddanne Rafaela went 3-for-5 with three singles, two RBI, and a stolen base in Wednesday’s win over the Braves.

Rafaela tallied three singles in his first three at-bats on the night and drove in two runners in the fourth inning to put the Red Sox up 4-0. Rafaela has swung a hot bat as of late, hitting safely in four-straight games while slashing .310/.370/.512 on the month and swiping four bags. He remains a key bat for a Red Sox lineup that has scored five or more runs in four of its last five games.
Ezequiel Duran

TEX 2nd Baseman #20

Ezequiel Duran was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Astros with an illness.

Duran was replaced by Nicky Lopez at shortstop with Justin Foscue taking over at second base after going 0-for-2 at the dish. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern heading into Thursday’s series finale.
Kenley Jansen

DET Relief Pitcher #74

Kenley Jansen was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Angels with a right groin injury.

Jansen was checked on by a trainer early on while protecting a four-run lead in the ninth inning, but managed to stay in the contest. He recorded two quick outs before issuing a four-pitch walk to Mike Trout, which led to his removal from the contest. Brenan Hanifee came on to record the final out following his departure. The 38-year-old veteran stopper will undergo further evaluation and possibly imaging to determine the severity of the issue. Kyle Finnegan would be the next man up should Jansen require a trip to the injured list.
Connelly Early

BOS Starting Pitcher #71

Connelly Early pitched seven scoreless innings while striking out seven to pick up the win on Wednesday against the Braves.

Early picked up his fifth win of the season in this one, turning in yet another solid start against the Braves after allowing two earned runs over five innings earlier this month. Early threw 65 of his 97 pitches for strikes and managed to keep the Braves in check despite allowing leadoff walks in the first two innings. The lefty closes out the month of May with a solid 3.07 ERA while going 3-1 in his starts. His next start is scheduled for Tuesday against a suddenly hot Orioles offense.
Gunnar Henderson

BAL Shortstop #2

Gunnar Henderson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in an 11-2 win over the Rays on Wednesday.

Henderson is desperately trying to fight his way out of this early season malaise. This was his third multi-hit game out of his last seven and he’s now hit six home runs over his 30 games. That’s all great, but the issue has been truly stringing these strong games together and finding a way to get his on-base skills back to the elite place they once were. He may be a bit too focused on lifting the ball with a fly ball rate much higher than both his career and the major league average. That’s come with a slight increase in his swing tilt and attack angle while he’s chasing pitches out of the strike zone far more than ever before. The home runs are great, we just need to see more consistency.
Trey Gibson

BAL Starting Pitcher

Trey Gibson allowed six hits and one run with four walks and one strikeout over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Rays on Wednesday.

It’s a full-blown miracle that Gibson escaped this start with just the one run on his ledger. There was only one inning in which he did not allow a baserunner and worked around multiple on three separate occasions. He also got two double plays on timely cutters, neither of which were those innings with multiple base runners. That cutter was something he went back to a few times when the going got tough and while it was often hit hard, it helped him get the job done. His stuff is legit despite some shaky results at the big league level so far, so keep a close eye on whether or not he sticks in the Orioles’ rotation for another turn.
Jonathan Aranda

TB 1st Baseman #8

Jonathan Aranda went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored on Wednesday against the Orioles.

Aranda extended his on-base streak to eight games with another solid showing. Ironically, he had two of the four hardest hits in a game which his Rays lost 11-2. Those are the breaks sometimes. On the season, he has a .286 batting average, .860 OPS, nine home runs, and 41 RBI in a tremendous encore to his breakout last season.
