  • SF Starting Pitcher

    According to CSNChicago.com’s Patrick Mooney, the Red Sox are believed to want Cubs pitching prospect Trey McNutt as compensation for general manager Theo Epstein.
    McNutt, a 22-year-old right-hander, posted an underwhelming 4.55 ERA and 65/39 K/BB ratio in 95 innings this season at Double-A Tennessee. But he had a breakout year at Single-A in 2010 and may carry back-end-of-the-rotation potential. The two sides are expected to reach an official agreement before the start of the World Series on Wednesday night.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #48

    Jonathan Cannon has been scratched from Saturday’s start against the Rangers with lower back tightness.
    It’ll be Bryse Wilson taking the ball to kick off a bullpen game for Chicago. It’s unclear at the moment whether Cannon will require a trip to the injured list, but there should be some clarity on his status at some point this weekend. The 24-year-old holds a respectable 3.76 ERA across 55 innings (10 appearances, eight starts) this season.
    Top prospect Clarke to be called up by Athletics
    Following the Atheltics' announcement that they are calling up prized outfield Denzel Clarke, James Schiano discusses what the toolsy prospect with "blazing speed" will bring to the pro level.
  • TB Right Fielder #21
    Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday in the Rookie-level Florida Coast League.
    DeLuca landed on the injured list back on April 8 with a right shoulder strain and was only expected to miss 2-4 weeks before suffering a late-April setback that pushed back his return. The 26-year-old outfielder is likely to require a handful of games in the minors to get back up to speed before returning to Tampa Bay’s lineup. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until early June.
  • KC Center Fielder #28
    Kyle Isbel has been scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to illness.
    There’s something going around Kansas City’s clubhouse at the moment with Isbel becoming the latest player feeling under the weather. It’ll be Drew Waters taking over to patrol center field on Saturday afternoon against the Twins at Target Field.
  • ATL 2nd Baseman #24
    Braves acquired INF Jonathan Ornelas from the Rangers for cash considerations.
    Ornelas heads to Triple-A Gwinnett as ancillary infield depth after being removed from Texas’ 40-man roster earlier this week. The 24-year-old has hit .184 across 54 plate appearances over 30 games in the majors since 2023.
  • STL Catcher #40
    Willson Contreras (back) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.
    Contreras will sit out his second consecutive contest after being scratched from Friday’s lineup due to back spasms. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but back issues can be complicated matters. It’ll be Alec Burleson at first base with slugger Iván Herrera at DH on Saturday afternoon. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his status ahead of Sunday’s series finale.
  • ARI Center Fielder #7
    Corbin Carroll is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals.
    It’s an extremely rare day off for Carroll, who will take a seat to open Saturday’s contest with lefty Matthew Liberatore toeing the rubber at Busch Stadium. It’ll be southpaw-masher Randal Grichuk taking his place in right field. The 24-year-old has performed at an MVP-caliber level this season, slashing .271/.345/.579 with 15 home runs, 34 RBI and nine steals through 51 contests. He also leads the majors with six triples this season. That’ll work.
  • COL 1st Baseman #4
    Michael Toglia is back in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Yankees.
    Toglia is back in Colorado’s lineup for the first time in three games. The 26-year-old received an extended break in what we’re assuming is a mental reset after slumping badly over the first seven-plus weeks to open the season. He’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes at the moment, but he’s certainly talented enough to turn things around and make an impact in the power department.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #64
    Cooper Criswell will serve as the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.
    Criswell provides the Red Sox with some additional long relief depth for Saturday’s twin bill at Fenway Park. The 28-year-old righty will head back to Triple-A Worcester at the conclusion of the nightcap.
  • MIN Shortstop #4
    Carlos Correa is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Royals.
    It’s become standard operating procedure for teams to give players a day off following their return from the injured list, which appears to be the case here. Correa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Friday night in his return to Minnesota’s lineup after spending nearly a week on the concussion injured list. It’ll be Brooks Lee at shortstop on Saturday afternoon in his place.
  • KC Catcher #13
    Salvador Perez (illness) is in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Twins.
    Perez is back at DH and hitting cleanup on Saturday after sitting out Friday’s contest due to illness. The 35-year-old veteran backstop has started to show some real signs of life at the dish in recent days, so the hope is that the brief absence won’t disrupt his momentum.
