Scott White’s piece maps 31 players whose fantasy value could swing most at the MLB trade deadline, grouping them by scenarios like closer reshuffles, new call-ups, or surplus players moving to open spots. Notable potential shifts include Mason Miller or Luke Weaver in bullpen roles, Rockies outfielders Moniak/McCarthy/Condon/Veen if openings arise, and prospects like Shaw, Ramirez and Triantos who could land as impact starters on new teams; while rookies may be delayed to preserve 2027 eligibility.

The Tigers placed Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list with a left AC joint sprain after colliding with the wall, recalled Gage Workman from Triple-A to take the roster spot, and moved Justin Verlander to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man space. Workman, who is thriving at Toledo with a .358/.413/.590 line through 150 PA in 2026, provides multi‑position depth and could see time in the outfield and infield as Detroit navigates a wave of injuries; Verlander remains sidelined with hip inflammation with a return likely in late May or June.
