Mets Hope Holmes Avoids Surgery, Rotation Shakeup Ahead

Clay Holmes will not require surgery and isn’t expected to miss the season, though he’s on the injured list, potentially forcing Tobias Myers into the Mets’ rotation; Mendoza expects Holmes to pitch again in 2026. The Mets won 6-3 over the Yankees in the Subway Series opener, with Sunday’s rubber game set for 1:40 p.m. ET, and other notes include Luke Jackson opting out of his minor league deal and Soto dealing with aches but continuing to play.

Astros Activate Imai, Set Up Six-Man Rotation as Peña and Meyers Rehab

Houston activates Tatsuya Imai from the injured list for the second game against Seattle, likely restoring a six-man rotation as Arrighetti and Lambert fill depth roles; Nate Pearson shifts to a reliever role after elbow surgery rehab, and Jeremy Peña and Jake Meyers are set to begin rehab assignments soon. The injuries have left Houston at 16-26, among the AL’s worst records, with Hader nearing a return and more bullpen notes in play.

Rodón Activated by Yankees, Rejoins Rotation After Elbow Surgery

The Yankees activated Carlos Rodón from the 15-day injured list and optioned Kervin Castro to Triple-A; Rodón will start today against the Brewers after elbow surgery to remove loose bodies and a rehab build‑up that included a 6 1/3‑inning stint in Triple-A. He returns to a mid‑rotation role behind Max Fried and Cam Schlittler, as New York’s rotation — already strong without him and Gerrit Cole — looks to maintain its league‑leading form. Rodón’s 2025 line (3.09 ERA, 203 K in 195 1/3 IP, 3.2 fWAR) shows what the Yankees hope he can recapture, though Cole is still a few rehab starts away; Castro’s demotion trims the bullpen to eight, with a potential call‑up later.

Dodgers Activate Blake Snell for Season Debut, Triggering Rotation Shakeup

The Los Angeles Dodgers will reinstate left-hander Blake Snell from the 15-day IL to start Saturday, marking his season debut after shoulder fatigue. Coming off a rehab assignment, Snell is expected to be limited to roughly 75 pitches, and his return prompts a rotation shakeup as the team weighs how to fit him in with Glasnow, Ohtani, Yamamoto, Sheehan, Wrobleski and Sasaki. The move also raises questions about Glasnow’s status, with possibilities ranging from IL placement to a skipped start.

Ancient Giant Galaxy Lacks Spin, Stuns Astronomers

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (MAGAZ3NE) found the massive early-universe galaxy XMM-VID1-2075 with essentially no rotation—a surprising 'slow rotator' for its age less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang—likely due to a past major collision or interactions that canceled angular momentum; researchers are expanding the search for similar spinless galaxies to test current galaxy-formation theories.

Astros scramble rotation as Imai returns from injured list

Houston plans to reinstate Tatsuya Imai from the injured list to bolster a thinning rotation ahead of a 13-game stretch, but his rehab outings have been uneven and control issues linger. With Hunter Brown and Cristian Javier sidelined and Lance McCullers Jr. uncertain for his next start, the Astros will lean on Mike Burrows, Spencer Arrighetti, Cody Bolton and Peter Lambert while evaluating Imai’s role for upcoming starts.

Royals Hover Over Ragans’ Arm as Rotation Depth Comes Into Focus

The Kansas City Royals are monitoring Cole Ragans after he left a start with soreness in his triceps/elbow and hope it’s precautionary, potentially necessitating rotation depth from contenders like Stephen Kolek if Ragans or Noah Cameron land on the injured list. Meanwhile, Carlos Estévez exited a rehab appearance with shoulder discomfort, raising bullpen concerns as Lucas Erceg continues closing; the club’s depth will be tested as it navigates ongoing injuries.

Glasnow Leaves Dodgers Game With Back Pain, Sparking Rotation Concerns

Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow exited in the second inning against the Astros with low back pain, just after recording his 1,000th career strikeout. If the injury sidelines him, Los Angeles could turn to Blake Snell (on a rehab assignment) to anchor the rotation, with potential call-ups from Triple-A as backups.

Rodón Back in Yankees’ Rotation as Rodríguez Demoted

Carlos Rodón is set to return from the injured list and reclaim a spot in the Yankees’ rotation, prompting Elmer Rodríguez’s demotion to Triple-A. Gerrit Cole is also progressing in rehab while Ben Rice and Giancarlo Stanton deal with injuries. The team will honor John Sterling with patches and cap initials (JS) through May 17, and José Caballero has started in place of Anthony Volpe for at least one game.

Padres Activate Griffin Canning, Signals Rotation Shake-Up

San Diego activated Griffin Canning to start Sunday against the White Sox after placing German Márquez on the 15-day injured list with forearm nerve inflammation. Canning, who returned from Achilles surgery and signed with the Padres earlier this year, may begin on a pitch limit as he builds up, potentially prompting a rotation rework that could include a six-man setup with Giolito later, with Michael King and Randy Vásquez already occupying the top spots and Márquez, Walker Buehler, and Matt Waldron rounding out the current group.

Woodruff Exits Early as Velocity Drops, Brewers Face Rotation Uncertainty

Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff was pulled in the second inning after his velocity dropped to about 85 mph from around 93, leaving him feeling dead rather than in pain; manager Pat Murphy said they’ll run tests and proceed cautiously given his shoulder history. If he misses time, Milwaukee would rely on rotation depth—Misiorowski, Harrison, Patrick, Sproat—and bullpen/Triple-A options such as DL Hall, Shane Drohan, Jake Woodford, and prospects Logan Henderson, Coleman Crow, Robert Gasser, and Carlos Rodriguez to fill spots.

Rising Yankee Prospect Elmer Rodríguez Slotted for MLB Debut as Rotation Shuffles

The Yankees shuffled their rotation, optioning Luis Gil and calling up 22-year-old Elmer Rodríguez to make his MLB debut against the Rangers. Rodríguez, a top prospect with a 1.27 ERA in Triple-A Scranton, brings a six-pitch mix, excellent control, and a projectable 94–95 mph fastball that could help him develop into a steady mid-rotation arm for New York.

Báez injury tests Tigers' depth as Mize exits with groin tightness

Detroit’s Javier Báez left Friday’s game with a right ankle injury and will be tested soon, likely triggering an injured list stint and forcing lineup reshuffles with Parker Meadows out. Casey Mize exited with right groin tightness and will have an MRI, affecting Detroit’s top trio of Skubal, Valdez and Mize. Keider Montero has stepped up in the bullpen with Verlander sidelined, while Drew Anderson, Sawyer Gipson-Long and Ty Madden remain in the mix to bolster depth as the club builds rotation options; Troy Melton is in 60-day IL rehab as a starter-in-waiting, adding to the Tigers’ long-term planning.

Yankees Promote Elmer Rodríguez for MLB Debut as Rotation Shuffles

The Yankees will call up 22-year-old pitching prospect Elmer Rodríguez to start Wednesday against the Rangers for his MLB debut against Nathan Eovaldi, as they shuffle the rotation after optioning Luis Gil. Schlittler is set to face Jacob deGrom tonight, with Will Warren likely starting midweek and a weekend sequence in mind. Rodríguez is viewed as one of the organization’s top pitching prospects with a 94–95 mph fastball and a deep repertoire, and is expected to get multiple big-league turns before Rodón and Cole return from rehab, though he could be sent back to Triple-A if needed. He’s ranked among the top prospects by several outlets.

Yankees Send Luis Gil to Triple-A to Reset Amid Rotation Shuffle

The Yankees optioned right-hander Luis Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after a rough 7-4 loss to Houston in which Gil allowed six earned runs over four innings and has surrendered six homers in 19 1/3 innings this season. No corresponding move was announced, but New York may call up another pitcher as Rodon and Cole rehab, leaving the club to navigate a crowded rotation during a 13-game stretch, potentially skipping Gil’s turn, deploying a bullpen game, or promoting Elmer Rodriguez Cruz to get through the load.
