Another $750,000 is available through incentives. It’s a big improvement on last year for the 33-year-old, who had to wait until April to sign a $1.2 million deal. He’s a beneficiary of this spring’s explosive guard market. An every-snap player since 2017, Tomlinson is more “available” than effective, but he’s good enough to stay on the field. The Texans are trying to build up an offensive line that was amongst the league’s worst in 2024.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Saturday that the club wants a little more time before making a decision. Blackburn has been on the shelf since spring training working his way back from knee inflammation. The 31-year-old veteran has already made five rehab starts in the minors. New York’s rotation has been the best in baseball through the first seven weeks of the season, so it’s unclear what type of role Blackburn will have once he returns. It’s a classy problem for the Mets to have.

Ballesteros has started three of four games at DH since being promoted from Triple-A Iowa earlier this week, going 1-for-8 with a pair of RBI through his first three contests. The 21-year-old slugging backstop figures to continue getting regular opportunities against right-handed pitching out of the DH spot for at least the next few weeks while Ian Happ (oblique) is on the injured list. His contact skills and path to regular at-bats makes him interesting for fantasy purposes, especially since he’s catcher-eligible.

Henderson is still floating on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy leagues, including nearly 80 percent of Yahoo! leagues, despite posting a stellar 2.45 ERA and 16/2 K/BB ratio across two starts in the majors this season. The 23-year-old top prospect struck out seven and limited Cleveland’s lineup to two runs over five innings earlier this week and will remain in Milwaukee’s injury-depleted rotation mix moving forward. He’s in line for a tasty matchup against a Baltimore lineup that has underperformed this year, ranking 25th in runs scored and 22nd in OPS as a team. Henderson is at least worthy of a speculative pickup in all fantasy formats.

It’ll be veteran George Springer in right field with Santander out of the lineup for the second straight game and fifth time in the past eight contests. The Blue Jays are proceeding with an abundance of caution since Santander is still experiencing left shoulder discomfort stemming from an incident back on May 8 when he dove into the stands for a foul ball. The 30-year-old slugger is presumably day-to-day for the moment. It’s a situation fantasy managers should continue monitoring closely.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Stanton, who progressed to taking live batting practice earlier this month, will continue working his way back from offseason elbow issues. It’s abundantly clear that the club isn’t rushing his rehabilitation process in an effort to avoid any potential setbacks. At this point it’s challenging to envision a scenario where he’s back before the second half.

Cousins ins working his way back from a flexor strain in his right elbow, so it’s an encouraging sign that the issue is unrelated. The 30-year-old righty hasn’t started a minor league rehab assignment yet, so it’s looking like he’s at least a few weeks away from any potential return to New York’s bullpen.
