New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) is dealing with a high-grade right-oblique strain, according to manager Aaron Boone. "I think it's gonna be a while," Boone said. With Chisholm on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 30), Boone said that infield prospect Jorbit Vivas is going to get an opportunity to play. Vivas is starting at second base and batting ninth in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Ryan Pepiot. The 27-year-old Chisholm is expected to be out for four to six weeks, so fantasy managers are going to need to be patient as they await his return. It's a tough break for Chisholm, who has hit just .181 (19-for-105), although he has provided seven home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored and six stolen bases. Vivas is certainly worth a look in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues with Chisholm out for an extended period of time.

The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Walker Buehler (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right-shoulder inflammation and recalled pitching prospect Hunter Dobbins from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Dobbins will make his major-league debut and start on Saturday against the visiting Minnesota Twins. Manager Alex Cora feels that Buehler's IL stint will be minimal. If the 30-year-old only requires 15 days on the IL, he would be able to make his next start during a weekend series against the Atlanta Braves that starts on May 17. Buehler was dealing with a right-shoulder issue in his last start against the Cleveland Guardians last Saturday but still managed to have a quality start, allowing three earned runs while walking one and striking out three through six innings for his fourth win of the season. Keep Buehler stashed everywhere.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitching prospect Andrew Painter is set to join Triple-A Lehigh Valley next Thursday. This is a big step for one of the top pitching prospects in the sport. Painter had dealt with numerous injuries throughout his young career, but appears to be nearing his MLB debut. The Phillies are closely monitoring Painter's workload as they hope he could have a role in the major leagues during the second half of the season. Throughout the early part of the campaign, the No. 7-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB Pipeline has logged 11 1/3 innings of work at Low-A. Across this stint, Painter has posted a 3.97 ERA with a stellar 0.97 WHIP. He has struck out 12 batters and served up just one walk. He is a name to keep a close eye on as he should carry high fantasy value when he gets the call to Philadelphia.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) had a couple of live batting practice sessions during the team's current homestand this week, including one on Friday, according to MLB.com's Kennedi Landry. If he bounces back well, Seager could be activated from the 10-day injured list and return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo. With Seager out, Josh Smith has been serving as the Rangers' starting shortstop. Fantasy managers will want to get Seager back into their starting lineups immediately upon his return, as he was batting .286 (22-for-77) with four home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored before injuring his hamstring in 21 games played. Smith will be the odd-man out when Seager returns despite hitting .299 (23-for-77) with two homers as a super-utility man.

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Tim Tawa will remain on the major league roster despite Ketel Marte returning from the 10-day injured list. Instead, the Diamondbacks are sending outfielder Jorge Barrosa to Triple-A Reno. Tawa was initially promoted to the majors when Marte hit the IL with a hamstring injury. However, his strong performance earned him a spot on the roster. Throughout his first 19 games at the MLB level, Tawa has posted a .190/.304/.483 slash line with five long balls and two stolen bases. Under the hood, he has generated a strong .377 xwOBA and has drawn walks at a 13.0 percent rate, which are both well above the average marks. However, given Marte's return, Tawa may not see steady playing time going forward. As a result, he should only be rostered in deeper 15+ team/NL-only formats.
