All Player News

J.P. France

HOU Starting Pitcher #68

According to The Athletic’s Chandler Rome, J.P. France is dealing with a shoulder injury that could sideline him for a while.

Well that’s not good. There hasn’t been an official transaction to put France on the injured list, but that could come soon. The 29-year-old dealt with shoulder issues during spring training, but he was still able to recover in time to make the team’s Opening Day roster. The 29-year-old posted a 7.46 ERA in his first five starts this season before the Astros demoted him to Triple-A Sugar Land.
Dany Jimenez

OAK Relief Pitcher #56

Athletics optioned RHP Dany Jiménez to Triple-A Las Vegas.

The 30-year-old reliever will head down to the minors after making 15 appearances with the Athletics where he posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP with a 11/13 K/BB ratio across 14 2/3 innings. Jiménez is 0-for-2 with his save opportunities this season, which is something that may have been a factor in the organization’s decision to send him down to the minors.
Tyler Ferguson

OAK Relief Pitcher

Athletics selected the contract of RHP Tyler Ferguson from Triple-A Las Vegas.

The 30-year-old right-hander has never played in the major leagues during his 11-year career, but he may get an opportunity with Oakland. Ferguson has put together a nice season at the Triple-A level where he holds a 2.40 ERA, 1.26 WHIP with a 24/5 K/BB ratio across 15 innings of work.
Lazaro Armenteros

OAK Left Fielder #74

Athletics designated OF Lazaro Amenteros for assignment.

The 24-year-old will hit waivers after a rough start at the minor league level in Las Vegas. Amenteros slashed just .133/.278/.250 with 37 strikeouts in his 72 plate appearances.
Josh Winder

MIN Starting Pitcher #74

Twins sent RHP Josh Winder (shoulder) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A St. Paul.

Winder appears to be progressing nicely and could return to the Twins’ roster soon if all goes well with this rehab start. He had a rough go in his last rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers when he allowed four earned runs across 3 2/3 innings of work. He was able to strike out eight batters in that start, but the 27-year-old will need a better outing before he can return to the majors.
Matt Barnes

WAS Relief Pitcher #41

Nationals designated RHP Matt Barnes for assignment.

Barnes signed a minor league deal with the Nationals at the beginning of the regular season. He impressed during spring training which gave him the opportunity to start the year with the active roster, but the 33-year-old has allowed 10 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings of work this season.
Robert Garcia

WAS Relief Pitcher #61

Nationals activated LHP Robert Garcia from the 15-day injured list.

Garcia returns to the Nats’ active roster after spending the last two weeks on the injured list with the flu. The 27-year-old has allowed six earned runs in 8 1/3 innings this season with a 13/4 K/BB ratio.
Pete Fairbanks

TB Relief Pitcher #29

Rays send RHP Pete Fairbanks (nerve issue) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Durham.

Fairbanks has been sidelined since April 22 after he was placed on the injured list due to a nerve-related condition. He’ll get his first rehab start in Durham since being sidelined and if everything goes to plan, the 30-year-old hurler should be back with Tampa Bay in the next week or so.
Brandon Lowe

TB Second Baseman #8

Rays sent 2B Brandon Lowe (oblique) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Durham.

Lowe was placed on the 10-day injured list in mid-April and the team has been careful with him before getting him to a minor league assignment. He’ll likely need to get two or three games under his belt since he’s been out for almost a month, but he’ll be a much-needed addition to the Rays and fantasy managers that have him on rosters.
Tyler Matzek

ATL Starting Pitcher #68

Braves placed LHP Tyler Matzek on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 5, with left elbow inflammation.

The 33-year-old has struggled this season after coming back from Tommy John surgery that made him miss the entirety of the 2023 season. Matzek has posted a 9.90 ERA, 1.90 WHIP witha 10/3 K/BB ratio across 10 innings this season.
