"Matt McLain's MLB Debut Sparks Waiver Wire Rush and Roster Changes for Reds"

Matt McLain, James Paxton, Alex Kirilloff, Nick Anderson, and Nick Senzel are all widely available players in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball formats that may be worth adding to your team. McLain is expected to be called up by Cincinnati and has power/speed upside in a hitter-friendly park. Paxton is a clear injury risk but has shown dominant stuff in his season debut. Kirilloff is settling in as Minnesota’s first baseman and has looked great since returning from wrist surgery. Anderson is a sneaky stash for saves on an Atlanta team that should provide many opportunities. Senzel has been a bust in the past but has real fantasy upside and is eligible at third base and outfield.

Dereck Rodríguez was also called up from St. Paul to provide a long-relief option. Tyler Mahle was transferred to the 60-day injured list as he rehabs a strained elbow.

Maeda's injury impacts Twins in loss to Red Sox.

X-rays were negative on Kenta Maeda’s left ankle after being hit by a line drive, but it's unclear if he'll require a stint on the injured list. Bailey Ober will start on Sunday, pushing back the Twins' rotation and giving Maeda more time to recover. Alex Kirilloff is nearing the end of his rehab assignment, but some team officials feel he won't immediately join the Twins' big league roster once activated from the IL. Byron Buxton has yet to play in the field this season, and manager Rocco Baldelli doesn't know when or if he'll be back in the outfield.
