The Chicago White Sox have scratched infield prospect Chase Meidroth (thumb) due to a thumb injury. The 23-year-old was initially listed as the starting shortstop and was batting in the leadoff spot. Meidroth was promoted to the major leagues earlier this week and was in the starting lineup in each of the previous eight games. During his first taste of the big leagues, Meidroth has posted a .269/.387/.269 line with a seven total hits (all singles) with a 4:5 K:BB. Fantasy managers should monitor Meidroth's status leading up to their game against the Red Sox on Monday. This afternoon, Meidroth will be replaced by Jacob Amaya, and he will bat in the nine-hole. Meidroth is worth targeting on waivers in deeper formats this week as he appears to have an everyday spot in the lineup.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) took 20 dry swings on Saturday and did not feel any pain in his oblique. Ryan Bass of the Tampa Bay Rays reported that the outfielder hopes to begin hitting off a tee next week if he continues to progress. This is an excellent sign for the 27-year-old as he has been on the injured list since March 29 due to a right oblique strain. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress as he could face live pitching in the coming weeks if he does not face any setbacks. Before the injury, the 27-year-old appeared in just one contest and tallied one hit. Last season, Lowe was limited by injuries as well, appearing in just 106 games and posting a .241/.302/.391 slash line. When Lowe does return, he will likely have an everyday role in right field.

The Colorado Rockies have promoted right-handed pitching prospect Zach Agnos to the major leagues. In a corresponding move, the Rockies have placed right-handed pitcher Victor Vodnik (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. Agnos was in the mix to make the roster out of camp, but fell short in the competition. However, the Eastern Carolina product is being rewarded with an early promotion. Earlier this season, Agnos logged his first eight innings with Triple-A and held a strong 2.25 ERA with a 0.75 WHIP. During this brief stretch, he struck out 10 batters and tallied two saves. Last summer, he spent time with High-A and Double-A and logged 52 1/3 innings to the tune of a 1.38 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP. During this stint, he tallied 63 punchouts and added 17 saves. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status as he could compete for save opportunities over Seth Halvorsen.


The Colorado Rockies have placed right-handed pitcher Victor Vodnik (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list retroactive to April 17 due to right shoulder inflammation. Vodnik last appeared in a contest on April 16. Through the early part of the campaign, Vodnik has been deployed as a high-leverage arm in the Colorado bullpen. Across eight innings of work, the right-hander has held a 4.50 ERA with a 1.63 WHIP. Vodnik has tallied one save and held an 8:6 K:BB. He has generated a hefty 7.26 xERA with a .282 xBA, which suggests he should face some significant regression when he returns to the bump. In a corresponding move, the Rockies promoted right-handed pitching prospect Zach Agnos from Triple-A. While Vodnik is out, Seth Halvorsen should see most of the save opportunities.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (leg) exited Sunday's 1-0 win against the Texas Rangers with lower leg cramps. Glasnow was pulled from Sunday's start after just one pitch in the fifth inning. The 31-year-old allowed three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over four scoreless innings before being removed from Sunday's contest. The trainers checked him out in the fourth inning, but he initially stayed in the game before being pulled in the fifth frame. Glasnow is dealing with lower leg cramps and appears to have avoided a serious injury. The Dodgers' right-hander is considered day-to-day. He owns a 3.71 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts across four starts in 2024. Glasnow will get a few days off, but should be able to make his next scheduled start next Sunday at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
