The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they designated infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment and added infielder Vinny Capra to the active 26-man roster in a corresponding move. The team also acquired right-hander Miguel Castro from the Houston Astros and selected his contract from Triple-A Charlotte. Left-hander Jared Schuster was optioned to Charlotte. The 26-year-old Amaya started the year as the team's starting shortstop but now finds himself off the 40-man roster after going 6-for-62 (.097) with no homers, seven RBI, six runs scored, two steals, two walks and 15 strikeouts in 33 games for Chicago. If he clears waivers, he could return to the organization as minor-league depth. Moving forward, the Pale Hose will use Brooks Baldwin as their primary option at the 6, with prospect Chase Meidroth being another option.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa will take a seat for Friday's series opener at Wrigley Field against the crosstown-rival Chicago Cubs and rookie right-hander Cade Horton, who will be making his first official big-league start. Josh Rojas will start at second base for the Pale Hose and will hit eighth in the batting order. Sosa will head to the bench on Friday after starting each of the team's last eight games. The 25-year-old Venezuelan infielder has really only been valuable for volume in AL-only leagues on one of the worst teams in baseball. He's currently hitting .267/.286/.373 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and one steal in 150 total at-bats. However, he has gone 8-for-21 with a homer, two doubles, an RBI and a steal with four multi-hit games in his last six contests. Rojas offers little DFS appeal with a .143 average (4-for-28) and no homers on the year.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) homered in his first minor-league rehab game earlier this week at the rookie-level Florida Complex League and was immediately moved to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he went 2-for-3 with a single and a double on Thursday in his second rehab game. Although he tore his left ACL on May 26 of 2024, it doesn't seem like he'll need many more rehab games before he rejoins the Braves' lineup. He started in right field on Thursday and is scheduled to play again for Gwinnett on Friday. After that, he could go on the road with the Stripers or move his rehab to Double-A Columbus. The 27-year-old is off to a good start on his rehab assignment, but fantasy managers may not get him back until closer to the end of May as the Braves look to be cautious with the former MVP. When Acuna returns, he'll be a must-start in fantasy immediately.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Thursday that outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (groin) will likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before coming off the 10-day injured list. It appears that Hernandez could embark on a rehab assignment as early as this weekend, which means that barring a setback, he could rejoin the major-league roster by the middle of next week. Fantasy managers have to be stoked about that news, as the 32-year-old veteran Dominican was near the top of the MLB leaderboards in several run-producing categories at the time of his adductor strain. In fact, he's still tied for fourth in baseball with 34 RBI and has added nine homers, a strong .315 average (41-for-130), 21 runs scored, four steals and a .933 OPS. Hernandez must be stashed in all leagues while he finishes up his rehab.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Thursday that infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (ankle) is close to coming off the 10-day injured list and will not need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment first. At the earliest, Edman could rejoin the Dodgers this weekend at Dodger Stadium for their series against the crosstown-rival Los Angeles Angels. If the 30-year-old doesn't return this weekend, he could be back next week against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. L.A. could ease Edman in when he returns since he won't go on a rehab assignment, but there's no question that he's an everyday player for the Dodgers, which means rookie Hyeseong Kim will move to a bench role or back to the minors when Edman returns. Edman should be rostered in all fantasy leagues. He'll be returning to a .252/.295/.523 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 19 runs and two steals.
