With Zach Dezenzo out, the Houston Astros need to adjust their outfield. Jose Altuve might fill in at left field, as he ranks second in depth for that position. Dezenzo's presence in 34 games this season has been noticeable, with a batting average of .245 and two home runs.

Dezenzo's recent form includes a .300 average over his last five games, which the team will miss. His absence creates opportunities for others like Mauricio Dubón, who can play multiple positions. The Astros play against the Tampa Bay Rays next, a game where lineup flexibility will be key.

Ronel Blanco's absence will be felt by the Astros. With a record of 3-4 and an ERA of 4.10 over nine starts, Blanco had been a key part of the rotation. His ability to score 24+ FanDuel points in five straight games shows his impact on the mound.

The Astros will need other starters like Framber Valdez and Lance McCullers Jr. to step up. With Blanco out, there might be more pressure on these pitchers to maintain the team's performance. The Astros face the Tampa Bay Rays next, and adjustments in pitching could affect game outcomes.

Schneider has played 10 games this season, starting in 5 of them. His batting average is .067, with 1 hit in 15 at-bats. He has walked 5 times and struck out 8 times.

The Blue Jays have upcoming games against the Athletics at Rogers Centre. Players like Myles Straw, who is in the left field position, might see changes in their playing time with Schneider back. In his last three games, Schneider's average is .167 with 1 hit in 7 at-bats.

Daulton Varsho's absence affects the Blue Jays' lineup. Varsho had been hitting .207 with 8 home runs and 20 RBIs in 24 games. In his last 5 games, he had improved his batting average to .360.

With Varsho out, Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes might see more time in center field. The Blue Jays face the Athletics next at home, where Varsho had been more effective, hitting .274 with 6 home runs.

Sabol has not had a strong season so far. He has played in 8 games and started 4 of them. His batting average is .125 with 2 hits in 16 at-bats. He has 1 RBI and 1 walk but has struck out 7 times.

This move may affect other players like Connor Wong or Reese McGuire on the Red Sox roster. Sabol's last game against the Cleveland Guardians saw him go 0 for 3 with 1 walk. His recent performances include a .083 average over his last 3 games.

Guerrero has been recalled again, marking his third call-up this season. In his four games, he pitched 5 1/3 innings with a 1.69 ERA and a WHIP of 1.12. He has not recorded any saves yet this season.

The Red Sox face the Atlanta Braves next at Truist Park. This move could affect other relievers like Greg Weissert and Justin Wilson. Guerrero's recall comes with no recent game appearances since April 24.

Ruiz's season stats include 16 games with 14 1/3 innings pitched. His ERA stands at 8.16, and his WHIP is 1.88. He has recorded 12 strikeouts and 6 walks, with a K/9 rate of 7.5.

With Ruiz designated for assignment, the Phillies may need to rely on other relievers from their bullpen. This could impact players like Seranthony Domínguez or Craig Kimbrel. Ruiz did not play in the recent games against teams like the Brewers and Braves.

The recall of the right-handed pitcher adds depth to the Phillies' starting rotation. With no regular season stats for the year, his impact on the upcoming game against the Brewers remains to be seen. The game will take place at Citizens Bank Park on June 1st.

This move might affect pitchers like Zack Wheeler and Taijuan Walker, who are part of the current rotation. The Phillies' starting lineup for the next game includes key players like Trea Turner and Bryce Harper. Both have been consistent performers this season, with Turner batting .300 and Harper contributing 8 home runs.

Justin Slaten has been a reliable reliever for the Red Sox, with a solid ERA of 3.47 this season. He appeared in 24 games, helping close out tight situations. His absence may affect the bullpen's depth and the team's ability to manage late innings.

With Slaten out, other relievers like Greg Weissert and Justin Wilson might see more opportunities. The Red Sox's upcoming games against teams like the Braves will test the bullpen's adaptability. The team will need to fill the gap left by Slaten's placement on the injured list.

The Braves have brought back a pitcher with a record of 2-2 this season. He has pitched 44 innings in 8 starts with an ERA of 4.50 and WHIP of 1.25. He also has 33 strikeouts and 13 walks.

This recall could affect pitchers like Chris Sale or Dylan Dodd in the rotation. The Braves are playing against the Boston Red Sox at Truist Park on June 1st. The pitcher has scored 25 or more FanDuel points in 5 straight games.
