Brewers Hoping Jose Quintana Will Have Minimum IL Stint

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana (biceps, shoulder) had additional tests on Thursday, and the results were promising, according to manager Pat Murphy. The Brewers are optimistic that it will be a minimum injured-list stint for Quintana, who is eligible to return on May 26. Quintana was put on the IL on Wednesday with a left-shoulder impingement, but it looks like it won't be long before he'll be back in the big leagues. If he does return when eligible, he'll be lined up for a matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The Colombian hurler has an ERA under 3.00 through his first six starts (34 innings) for the Brew Crew this year, but his 4.56 FIP indicates the soft-tossing lefty has been a bit fortunate to this point. Quintana also has only 24 strikeouts in his 34 innings pitched, and his lack of strikeout upside makes him a volatile low-upside fantasy streamer when he's healthy.

Yankees Designate Tyler Matzek for Assignment

The New York Yankees announced on Friday that they designated left-hander Tyler Matzek for assignment and reinstated right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The team also reinstated right-hander Clayton Beeter (shoulder) from the 15-day IL and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Matzek didn't look great out of the Yankees' bullpen after returning from an oblique injury, allowing three earned runs on 11 hit while walking five and striking out seven in 6 1/3 innings. Injuries have really set the 34-year-old veteran southpaw back in recent seasons, but he should be able to latch on with another team in need of some left-handed relief arms. Loaisiga, 30, is returning from an internal-brace procedure on his right elbow, but he could quickly fall into a high-leverage relief role for the Yanks. Don't forget about him in holds leagues.

"Probably Unlikely" Oswaldo Cabrera Will Return This Year

New York Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera (ankle) had some ligament damage around his broken left ankle, according to manager Aaron Boone, so his surgery was a little more involved. Boone said that it's "probably unlikely" that Cabrera will play again this season, but there's no specific timetable for his return yet. Fantasy managers that have been holding the 26-year-old in redraft leagues can probably drop him at this point for reinforcements. Cabrera had been serving as New York's primary third baseman and was hitting .243/.322/.308 with a homer, 11 RBI and 17 runs in 107 at-bats before his injury. Oswald Peraza and rookie Jorbit Vivas should continue to split playing time at the hot corner in the Bronx going forward, although veteran DJ LeMahieu could also factor in at the position once Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) returns to second base.

Sean Manaea to Throw Another Bullpen Session on Tuesday

New York Mets left-hander Sean Manaea (oblique) will throw another bullpen session on Tuesday, according to Newsday's Laura Albanese. Now that Manaea is throwing off the mound again, his next step will be to face live hitters before eventually being cleared to go on a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw started a throwing program in the middle of April after receiving platelet-rich plasma injections in his injured oblique. If Manaea avoids setbacks once he starts pitching in games again, he should be able to return to New York's starting rotation in June, but there's no clear timetable for his return. Fantasy managers that have been stashing him are just hoping he can recapture the form he had in 2024 after he made a mechanical adjustment with his arm slot. The former first-rounder had a 3.47 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with a 24.9% strikeout rate in 32 regular-season starts.
