It’s an extremely encouraging update, all things considered. Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that O’Neill will sit out on Tuesday and Wednesday against the Guardians, but might have a chance to return for Thursday’s series finale. The 28-year-old outfielder received eight stitches following an on-field collision with teammate Rafael Devers during Monday’s Patriots Day matinee at Fenway Park, but appears to have avoided serious injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Lowe landed on the shelf back in mid-March with a right oblique strain and isn’t expected to need too much time at Triple-A Durham after getting into a pair of rehab contests this week already for Tampa Bay’s Rookie-Level Florida Complex League affiliate. The 26-year-old power/speed combo outfielder should be ready to return at some point later this week, if not sooner.

Wow. The hits keep on coming for Atlanta. Albies was hit by a pitch in the second inning of Monday’s game against the Astros, and wound up playing the remainder of the game, but was dealing with pain into Tuesday morning. He underwent X-rays on Tuesday that revealed a fractured big toe. The 27-year-old was having a terrific start to the season with 14 RBI in his 15 games played and was slashing a career-best .878 OPS in his 70 plate appearances. There should be a timetable for his return in the coming days.

Help is on the way for the Blue Jays with Romano taking over the closing duties after missing nearly three weeks at the outset of the season due to right elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old veteran stopper should help stabilize a Toronto bullpen that has allowed the third-most earned runs in the American League so far.

Cabrera made a serious statement in his return to Miami’s starting rotation, generating 17 swinging strikes and finishing with an elite 42 percent CSW in a highly impressive season debut. It was just his third career double-digit strikeout performance. The 26-year-old former top prospect, who looked outstanding during spring training before landing on the injured list in mid-March with a right shoulder impingement, has dealt with serious control issues in the past, which made it even more impressive that he handed out only one free pass in his highly-anticipated return. The strikeout upside has always been there for Cabrera, which means he could rapidly evolve into an upper-echelon fantasy contributor, if he’s solved his omnipresent control issues. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats until further notice and will aim to keep the momentum going this weekend in a home start against the Cubs in Miami’s pitcher-friendly loan Depot park.

It’s a big blow for the Cubs and for fantasy managers who carry Suzuki on the roster. The 29-year-old has hit .305 with an .893 OPS along with three homers and 13 RBI over the first 15 games and 68 plate appearances of the season. Alexander Canario is coming up from Triple-A Iowa to take Suzuki’s place on the roster. If there are no setbacks, the 29-year-old could be back by the end of April or near the start of May.

The move will clear room for Edward Cabrera to return from the IL. The movie is surprising considering Meyer has been one of the only bright spots for Miami this season, posting a 2.12 ERA in 17 innings across his first three starts; however, he also missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The team has been clear that they were going to limit Meyer’s innings this season, so it’s unclear what their plan is for him in the minors or how long he will be down for.

Devers had missed the previous four games while resting a shoulder injury. He injured the shoulder during spring training and reaggravated the injury early in the week on a swing. The Red Sox claimed he just needed a few days to fully rest so perhaps Devers is in the clear; however, this is the type of injury that can frequently pop up against, especially with a hitter who swings as violently as Devers does.

Wiemer, 25, has hit .220 with a .688 OPS over 58 at-bats with Nashville. The outfielder mostly struggled in his time in the majors for the Brewers in 2024, and is more of a long-term option than someone fantasy managers should be considering for the 2024 campaign.

It was a bit surprising to see Miller pulled after just four innings and 73 pitches during Wednesday’s start against the Twins, and perhaps this was why. It’s unclear how serious the ailment is or how long the 25-year-old hurler will be sidelined for. Either way, it’s a very unfortunate break for fantasy managers. Stay tuned.
