Chris Colabello -- One of April's best stories, Chris Colabello, is now in danger of being demoted to Triple-A on Monday. He has cooled off considerably, triple-slashing just .125/.169/.196 in May, which shouldn't have come as much of a shock. He has some decent raw power and could hit close to 20 home runs over a full season, but his .379 April BABIP was bound to come down. Now with Oswaldo Arcia and Josh Willingham coming off the DL, the resulting roster crunch is likely to see Colabello sent down until a roster spot opens back up. He shouldn't have been owned in anything other than AL-only leagues at this point anyway, so hopefully this news doesn't hurt your title chances (if it does, well, your chances weren't very good to begin with).
Oswaldo Arcia -- Arcia is on track to be promoted from Triple-A on Monday. He made it just four games in April before hitting the DL with a wrist injury, and he was demoted to Triple-A in the middle of May once he was done with his rehab. His 20% K%, .312 batting average, and 5 home runs in 85 plate appearances at Triple-A show that he has little else to prove in the minors, and he'll resume his post as Minnesota's starting right fielder. Arcia doesn't profile as much of an average hitter, but he does have good raw power. Unfortunately, wrist injuries can sap power, so you'll have to see how he looks out of the gate. Still, he has the upside to be worth owning in 15-team mixed leagues or deeper, so stash him in any leagues he's still available.
Omar Infante -- One of my favorite undervalued preseason targets, Omar Infante, is on track to return from the DL during Kansas City's series against Houston at the start of this week. Infante has been a bit of a disappointment this year with a .267 average and just 2 homers and a steal, but he's dealt with a couple injuries, and I expect him to get better. Especially if he returns to the number-two spot in the order, Infante is worth picking up or buying low on in medium-depth mixed leagues or deeper.
Ronald Belisario -- Despite allowing three runs and blowing a save on Saturday, manager Robin Ventura has given Ronald Belisario his vote of confidence as the team's closer... at least for the time being. It's usually not long after such VOCs that closers get removed, so Belisario will need to be good his next couple times out to start earning Ventura's confidence back. Belisario is definitely one of the best ninth-inning options in a very weak bullpen, and his 7.1 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, 66% GB%, and 3.24 xFIP belie a 5.14 ERA. If Belisario is pulled, Daniel Webb or Jake Petricka would likely be next in line.
