Hancock will join a Buffalo defense with what PFF graded as last season’s second worst secondary. A position-versatile chess piece in Ohio State’s secondary, Hancock logged snaps at nickel, outside corner, and free safety, flashing an NFL-ready temperament. At 6’0”/195 with elite explosiveness (41.5” vert, 10’6” broad) and a 9.82 RAS, Hancock checks athletic boxes but plays more like a tone-setting enforcer than a lockdown cover man. He’s chippy and physical in the alley, rips at the football with urgency (watch 2024 Michigan State tape), and improved significantly as a tackler during his senior campaign. However, Hancock lacks recovery twitch and turns upright in transitions, often falling behind quick slot receivers. Coaches rave about his toughness and willingness to play anywhere, and his experience across coverage shells (Cover 1, 3, and quarters) speaks to his football IQ. While his coverage ceiling may cap him as a depth piece, Hancock’s physicality, pursuit effort, and scheme versatility give him a strong shot to carve out a role as a special teams demon and subpackage DB.

Rosario refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett over the weekend and will head to free agency instead. There’s a decent chance he winds up back with Atlanta on a brand-new minor league deal. The 33-year-old journeyman outfielder has gotten into five games this season between Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters they’ll see how Trout fares before making a decision on his next steps. The 33-year-old generation superstar remains without a definitive return timetable after hitting the injured list back on May 2 with a bone bruise in his left knee.

Osuna checked in at 499th overall in Rotoworld’s dynasty rankings back on Opening Day after an impressive showing in spring training. The 22-year-old earns a promotion to the doorstep of the majors hitting .284/.363/.409 with 10 extra-base hits and seven steals in 31 games this season for Double-A Frisco. He doesn’t project as a high-upside fantasy contributor, but he does a little bit of everything well and should be able to carve out a role at the highest level someday.

There’s an outside chance Martinez is ready to return from the injured list later this week when first eligible, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. The hard-throwing 23-year-old reliever is making steady progress and should be ready to rejoin Arizona’s high leverage mix at some point in the coming days.

It’ll be Gilbert’s first bullpen session since landing on the injured list back on April 26 with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The 28-year-old fantasy ace will likely require a couple minor league rehab outings to get back up to speed, but it looks like there’s a decent chance he’s back in Seattle’s rotation at some point in June.

LeMahieu joined the Yankees in Seattle as they continue their West Coast trip, but he hasn’t been officially activated yet. That figures to happen prior to Tuesday’s contest. The 36-year-old will make his season debut this week after missing the first six-plus weeks of the year recovering from a calf injury.
