Soto has been participating in baseball activities, including batting practice in an indoor cage, but he had not begun a running progression until Tuesday. Soto strained his calf on April 3rd and was expected to only be out for three weeks. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza hinted that the team would get “creative” with Soto’s rehab, which might mean that they simulate at-bats for him and don’t send him out on a rehab assignment. We’ll keep you posted, but Soto could return before the month is out.

McGonigle follows behind Konnor Griffin and Colt Emerson as high-end prospects who have inked long-term extensions before completing their first month in the big leagues. McGonigle’s deal is the biggest extension signed by a prospect ever, breaking Griffin’s record ($140 million) from last week. The 21-year-old is off to a great start to his MLB career, and will now be a fixture in the middle of the Tigers lineup for years to come.

Buxton just needed the Red Sox to come to town to shake off this slow start. He’s 6-for-10 with three homers the last two days, raising his OPS from .531 to .768. The two-homer game is the 18th of his career. He scored four runs just once other time, that being his lone three-homer game on Aug. 27, 2017 against the Blue Jays.

Guerrero’s double scored Ernie Clement in the top of the 10th, and he came around to score on a two-run double from Myles Straw to cement the win for the Jays. Guerrero drove in a run earlier in the game as well to bring his RBI total up to seven, and that relatively low total has more to do with who has been hitting in front of him than anything he’s done wrong. He’s off to a very strong start with the stick, and there isn’t much reason to think he’s going to cool off soon, or ever, really.

It’s the first two-homer game of Wetherholt’s career. The 23-year-old took Ryne Stanek deep for a two-run shot in the eighth, and he hit a solo blast off Joey Cantillo in the third. While the rookie second baseman is still hitting .200/.338/.385 in his first three weeks of play, Wetherholt has very much passed the eye test, and more games like this seem much more likely than not in the coming months.

Langford is back at DH and hitting second on Tuesday night in West Sacramento following a three-game absence due to a minor quad strain. The 24-year-old outfielder has struggled to get going at the plate this season, hitting .170 (9-for-53) with one homer, three RBI and one steal through 13 games. It’s only a matter of time before he turns it around. The encouraging development for fantasy managers is that he managed to avoid a trip to the injured list.

No word yet on how much time Pivetta will miss. The 33-year-old veteran has presumably undergone an MRI to determine the severity of the issue and there should be a clearer timetable at some point this week. He was lifted from Sunday’s start against the Rockies after firing three shutout frames. It’ll be Matt Waldron coming up to take his spot in San Diego’s rotation.

The bigger concern here is that Imai told reporters through an interpreter on Tuesday that he hasn’t been able to adjust to an American lifestyle in terms of baseball and outside of baseball citing travel and team meals as specific aspects of the transition he’s been struggling with. It’s not great. The 27-year-old starter is clearly going to need some extended time away from the club to focus on getting right both physically and mentally. At this point, it’s challenging to envision him making a significant fantasy impact this season based on his comments and on-field performance.

Strider is expected to throw roughly 40-45 pitches during his rehab debut. The 27-year-old former fantasy ace will need at least a handful of tune-up outings before he’s ready to make his season debut, likely at some point in early May. He’s been on the shelf recovering from an oblique strain since the late stages of spring training.

Schultz will make his MLB debut in a start against the Rays on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has electric stuff and forged a 19/2 K/BB over 14 innings with Charlotte, but he’s battled command issues in the past. There’s upside because of his swing-and-miss stuff, but fantasy managers have to acknowledge the volatility.
