Fantasy baseball enthusiasts know that the right reliever can swing a daily league, and the latest wave of bullpen moves offers fresh streaming opportunities.
Bullpen Shifts Across the League
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed right‑hander Yimi García on a rehab assignment, while left‑hander Joe Mantiply was transferred to the 60‑day injured list after a left knee issue. In Milwaukee, the Brewers moved Rob Zastryzny to the 15‑day injured list retroactive to May 31 with a trapezius strain, and the San Francisco Giants added Matt Gage to the same list after a right knee problem. The Los Angeles Angels selected Shaun Anderson from the Salt Lake Bees, and the Tampa Bay Rays shuffled their own arms, optioning Trevor Martin to Durham and recalling Mason Englert. The New York Mets recalled Joey Gerber from Syracuse, the Cincinnati Reds sent Yunior Marte outright to Louisville, and the Angels sent Sam Aldegheri back to Salt Lake. Meanwhile, the Giants promoted Dylan Smith from Sacramento, and Miami’s Matt Pushard returned from St. Louis after a stint with the Cardinals.
These moves ripple through roster construction, as teams adjust depth charts and managers weigh fresh arms for high‑leverage situations. The ripple effect is especially pronounced in daily formats, where a single reliever’s availability can dictate a winning lineup.
