Johnson was one of three players drafted by the Jets in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The former Florida State star has totaled 10 sacks in his first three seasons, although it’s worth noting he lost virtually all of his 2024 season (15 games) when he suffered a torn Achilles in Week 2. Johnson has already said he would be ready for team OTAs and will have much to prove in 2025 beyond showing he is fully recovered from his injury. He’ll be learning a new defense under head coach Aaron Glenn and will need to attempt to build on the 7.5 sacks he posted in 2023 as a full-time starter.

The 29-year-old is working back from a knee injury he suffered in the middle of last season. He’s throwing bullpens multiple days during the week as he approaches a rehab assignment. He could go out on a rehab assignment in the next week or so and perhaps make his return to Boston early in June.

Bader was on the bench for the last two games due to an illness, but was able to pinch hit on Wednesday and socked a home run. With him feeling healthy again, he’s back in the starting lineup.

With Romy Gonzalez nursing a back injury following a collision at first base on Wednesday, Toro will make his first start for Boston this season. It doesn’t seem like Gonzalez will be out for too long though.

Chandler struck out five and walked four on the day, so the command was certainly not pristine. However, all three runs came on a home run on the tenth pitch of a long battle. He had 12 whiffs on the day and still seems likely to debut for Pittsburgh during the next homestand on May 19th. He’s the top prospect stash in fantasy baseball right now.

Blue Jays manager John Schnieider said the move was precautionary, but also admitted that Santander has been dealing with right quad tightness for the past few days. Even if the injury isn’t major, it would seem plausible that the Blue Jays would give Santander a day or two off to manage the injury without exacerbating it.

It’s not much of a surprise, as most rookies cut their teeth with special teams duties. Twentyman mentioned return duties as a possibility, though the former Razorback never returned kicks or punts in college. At 6'4/212 with 4.43 wheels, TeSlaa is an explosive athlete who never translated his physical traits to on-field production at Arkansas. The Lions clearly saw potential for him to do so in the pros and traded two future third-round picks to move up to No. 70 overall for him. It’s going to be a slow burn for TeSlaa in the pros, making him a dynasty-only fantasy option.
