Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (knee) has been transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Friday. This move shouldn't shock anyone as Crawford still needs at least a month to recover from his knee injury. The Red Sox shifted Crawford to the 60-day IL in order to open up a roster spot for right-hander Nick Burdi on the 40-man roster. The organization is hopeful that Crawford can get on the mound in possibly June or July. Crawford isn't someone that needs to be held onto with his timetable unclear right now.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Richard Fitts (pectoral) has been ramping up his activities and could begin a rehab assignment next week. Fitts has been sidelined due to a pectoral strain for over a month. That being said, Fitts could require a few rehab starts before rejoining the Red Sox rotation. The Red Sox could use the help with Tanner Houck (elbow) landing on the injured list. Fitts threw five shutout innings during the game he got injured, but he wasn't great before that. He could be worth a look in deep leagues once he's back on the mound for the Red Sox.

The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reports that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) has begun hitting off a batting machine. He is also throwing and doing agility work on the field while running on an Alter-G treadmill at 75 percent of his body weight. Trout appears to be making good progress, but the Angels are surely going to be extra cautious with the three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star who had season-ending surgery on the same knee a year ago. The 33-year-old veteran doesn't have a specific timetable for a return, and in a best-case scenario the Angels and fantasy managers will get him back at the end of May. Fantasy managers shouldn't be dropping Trout at this point, but the 15-year veteran is now very injury-prone and appears to be sacrificing contact for power later in his career. He had nine homers in his first 29 games but was hitting just .179 (19-for-106).

Minnesota Twins outfielder Willi Castro (knee) left Friday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field with a right-knee contusion, according to The Athletic's Dan Hayes. Castro fouled a ball off his right knee in his first at-bat of the night before eventually striking out. The 28-year-old was then replaced on defense in left field by Kody Clemens, who shifted to the outfield from second base. It doesn't appear that Castro's injury is too serious, but he'll likely undergo more testing and could be out as the season continues in Milwaukee on Saturday. Minnesota's outfield depth has been tested in recent days with injuries to Byron Buxton (head) and Harrison Bader (groin), leading to extra playing time for DaShawn Keirsey Jr. The good news is that Buxton has cleared the league's concussion protocol, and Bader is also considered day-to-day.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos (shoulder) was scratched from the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the visiting Athletics due to right-shoulder discomfort, according to MLB.com's Justice delos Santos. With Matos out in the series opener, David Villar is serving as the designated hitter and will bat seventh against A's left-hander JP Sears. The Giants will likely put Matos through some tests, but for now we'll consider him day-to-day and check back on Saturday to see if he's available to return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Venezuelan outfielder has been a non-factor for fantasy managers so far in 2025, slashing a weak .167/.219/.350 with three home runs, four RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in just 60 at-bats. The 28-year-old Villar won't be much of a DFS play for the Gigantes near the bottom of the lineup. He's gone 4-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored.
