  • TOR Relief Pitcher #64

    Chad Jenkins will start Tuesday against the Twins.
    He’ll start on short rest in place of Carlos Villanueva. Jenkins was chased for three runs over just 3 2/3 innings in his last start Friday vs. the Yankees and doesn’t make for a strong play in fantasy leagues.
  • BAL Shortstop #2

    Gunnar Henderson swatted a pinch-hit two-run homer in the eighth inning to help the Orioles to a 3-1 win over the Mets on Thursday during the first game of a doubleheader.
    Henderson came off the bench and delivered in a big way with a two-run shot off a wholly ineffective Ryne Stanek to give Baltimore a 2-1 lead and ultimately a victory. The 24-year-old should be in the lineup for the second game of the doubleheader with a chance to improve a slash .of .272/.340/.446. Those aren’t bad numbers, but they’re disappointing considering where he was drafted in the overwhelming majority of redraft leagues.
    Kim should settle in as Rays starting shortstop
    Ha-Seong Kim returned to the Tampa Bay Rays this week after missing the first half of the season with a shoulder injury, and Eric Samulski examines Kim's fantasy value down the stretch.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #74
    Felix Bautista didn’t give up a run while picking up a save Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Mets.
    Bautista threw 12-of-17 pitches for strikes while not allowing a hit, walking a better or striking anyone out. Boring, but effective. He’s now up to 18 saves on the season, and it’s possible — but not likely — he could be used for another save chance in the second game of the twin billing.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #50
    Charlie Morton didn’t factor into the decision during the first game of a doubleheader against the Mets on Thursday despite allowing just one run over six innings.
    Morton allowed just an RBI single in the fifth to Tyrone Taylor, but for a while it looked like that was going to be enough for him to be credited with a loss. Gunnar Henderson made sure that wouldn’t happen with a pinch-hit two-run blast in the eighth. After a disastrous beginning to the year, Morton has looked much more effective, and his 5.18 ERA heading into the break is a lot more palatable when you consider it was at 7.09 entering the month of June.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #23
    David Peterson was outstanding over seven innings of one-run baseball in the first game of a doubleheader against the Orioles, but he didn’t factor into the decision Thursday.
    Peterson deserved better. He blanked the Orioles over his first seven frames, but he allowed a runner to reach in the eighth, and Gunnar Henderson hit a pinch-hit homer off Ryne Stanek to prevent him — and the Mets — from getting a win. Peterson allowed just five hits in the contest without issuing a walk, and he struck out six. He’ll take an excellent 3.06 ERA into the All-Star break, and he’ll likely start one of the first games after that mini vacation.
  • MIA Left Fielder #28
    Kyle Stowers is not in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Reds.
    The Marlins are going all right-handed to open the game against Nick Lodolo and Cincinnati. That means Towers sits with Heriberto Hernandez getting the start in right field. Jesus Sanchez is also out with Derek Hill in center and Dane Myers handling right field.
  • HOU Shortstop #10
    Astros optioned INF/OF Shay Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land.
    Whitcomb got the call to replace Jeremy Peña after Peña was placed on the injured list, but he’s heading back to the PCL with Christian Walker coming off the paternity list. Whitcomb will likely be back before the end of 2025 in a reserve role.
  • HOU 1st Baseman #8
    Astros activated 1B Christian Walker off the paternity list.
    Walker missed three days while welcoming a new family member. The 34-year-old will return to hitting in the middle of the Houston lineup now that he’s with the club.
  • ATH Left Fielder #25
    Brent Rooker will participate in the 2025 Home Run Derby.
    Rooker has some of the best power in the game, and he’s followed a 39-homer season with one that seen him go deep 19 times in 2025. He’s the sixth known participant in the event, and two more names will be added to the event before Monday’s competition.
  • CIN Catcher #37
    Tyler Stephenson is not in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Marlins.
    For the second time in the four-game series, Stephenson will give way to Jose Trevino behind the plate. There doesn’t appear to be a catching controversy yet, but it’s worth noting that Stephenson has been struggling behind the plate since the start of July.
  • NYM Left Fielder #3
    Jesse Winker was removed from the first game of a doubleheader against the Orioles with back tightness.
    Winker was just activated off the injured list Tuesday, but this doesn’t appear to be related to the oblique strain that shelved him for over two months. The outfielder will likely sit out the second game of a doubleheader as well, and should be considered day-to-day for now.
