Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (knee) remained out of the starting lineup on Sunday during their contest against the Milwaukee Brewers. The utility man fouled a ball off his knee during Friday's contest. He was held out of action on Saturday as well. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to their next contest on Monday evening against the Cleveland Guardians. Castro has posted a modest .235/.306/.367 slash line through his first 28 games of the campaign. Castro has gone deep twice and swiped two bags. While he does not carry high offensive upside, the 28-year-old does have value in daily lineup leagues given his multi-positional eligibility on most platforms. If he were to remain out, Kody Clemens should continue to see starting opportunities.

The Boston Red Sox have shut down right-handed pitcher Tanner Houck (elbow) from throwing. Houck was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right flexor pronator strain earlier this week. However, it appears the 28-year-old is expected to remain on the injured list longer than the 15-day period. Through the early part of the campaign, Houck has struggled, posting an 8.04 ERA with a 1.69 WHIP across 43 2/3 innings of work. Under the hood, Houck has generated a high 5.84 xERA and a .301 xBA, which have placed him in the ninth and seventh percentiles, respectively. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he slowly increases his workload. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Hunter Dobbins to remain in the starting rotation.

The Philadelphia Phillies have activated right-handed pitcher Jose Ruiz (neck) from the 15-day injured list. In a corresponding move, the Phillies placed left-handed pitcher Jose Alvarado on the restricted list. Alvarado was hit with an 80-game suspension earlier on Sunday for taking performance-enhancing drugs. Ruiz has been held out of action throughout May. Through his first 11 1/3 innings of work, Ruiz posted a 4.76 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP. He struck out 11 batters but served up six free passes. Under the hood, the right-handed relief pitcher has generated whiffs at a strong 29.9% rate and allowed hard hits at a strong 34.4% rate. Fantasy managers should expect Ruiz to return to a middle-relief role in the Philadelphia bullpen.
