Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Nick Yorke (shoulder) was activated off the 7-day injured list at Triple-A on Friday. Yorke was only able to appear in the first four games of the campaign before hitting the IL. However, Yorke was able to progress well and did not miss much time. Through the first four games of the campaign, the 23-year-old posted a .333/.412/.533 slash line with three doubles and one RBI. Fantasy managers should expect Yorke to continue competing for a return to the big leagues. Last summer, Yorke received a brief taste of MLB action in Pittsburgh and held a .216/.286/.378 line with two home runs and two stolen bases across 11 games. The former 17th overall pick has posted a cumulative .333/.419/.500 line across 82 career games at Triple-A and should be in contention to return to the majors later this season.

Kansas City Royals first base prospect Jac Caglianone has enjoyed an impressive start to his Double-A tenure. On Thursday, Caglianone smoked a 120.9 mph single to left field. This was the hardest hit ball by a Royal in the Statcast era since Eric Hosmer's 118 mph strike during the 2017 campaign. The Royals drafted Caglianone out of Florida with the sixth overall pick in last year's draft. After the draft, the Royals gave the 22-year-old a brief taste of High-A, and he posted a .241/.302/.388 slash line with nine doubles and two home runs. Through his first six games of the Double-A regular season, Caglianone has held a strong .346/.406/.615 slash line. He has gone deep twice and added one double. He is a prospect to closely monitor as he could be in the mix for his MLB debut later this summer.

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (undisclosed) has been removed early during Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. It's unclear what exactly happened to Abrams, but he was removed in the fourth inning due to injury. It's worth noting that he missed time earlier in the week due to a hip flexor issue. Paul DeJong shifted over to shortstop while Amed Rosario takes over at third base with Abrams exiting. Both players figure to see more playing time if Abrams is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers will need to check back after the game for more information.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (back) was pulled out early during Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Winn didn't get to have a plate appearance before being taken out of the contest due to back spasms. He was taken out in the second inning and replaced by Thomas Saggese. Right now, Winn should be considered day-to-day, but back issues due often times linger around. Saggese figures to see more playing time if Winn misses some time. Winn was off to a sluggish start to the season, so maybe a few days off could help him get back on track.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele (elbow) underwent an MRI on Thursday that showed tendinitis in his left elbow. The same injury that sidelined Steele for a few weeks towards the end of last season. On Friday, Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Steele plans to seek a second opinion on his injured elbow. Fantasy managers don't need to hit the panic button yet, but there is certainly some concern here. If Steele misses significant time, Colin Rea or Javier Assad (forearm) figure to be the primary replacement options. For now, fantasy managers can stash Steele on their IL, but there should be more information on his status soon.
