Fantasy Impact: Obviously, a blow to fantasy managers who were enjoying a scorching hot start to the season for the Mets outfielder. According to the press release, the recovery time for this injury is typically two to three weeks. Ronny Mauricio was recalled from Triple-A, though Tyrone Taylor will most likely join the starting lineup. Managers should look elsewhere for a temporary fill-in.

Fantasy Impact: Corbin's deal will pay him $1 million for the 2026 season. The veteran lefty will build up in the minors, beginning at Low-A Dunedin, before presumably joining the Blue Jays at some point down the road. Corbin logged 155 1/3 innings for the Rangers last year, turning in a 4.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 19.8 K%.
