    Dwight Smith Jr. is starting in left field and hitting eighth against the Athletics on Thursday.
    Teoscar Hernandez gets a night off in place of Smith Jr. Called up on Wednesday, Smith Jr. has three hits in sit at-bats for Toronto from a previous stint with the Blue Jays, and the 25-year-old outfielder hit .278/.381/.411 with two homers and five steals over 24 games at Triple-A Buffalo.

  • HOU Center Fielder #6

    Jake Meyers (calf) is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Guardians.
    Meyers appears likely to avoid the injured list for now after exiting Sunday’s game against the Dodgers with right calf tightness. The 29-year-old center fielder is day-to-day for now. It’ll be rookie Kenedy Corona taking over in center field in his absence.
    Why Henriquez and Gelof are waiver wire targets
    Eric Samulski claims that Marlins' Ronny Henriquez and Athletics' Zack Gelof are two potential waiver wire targets, explaining why each could be added to any league type.
  • MIN Center Fielder #25
    Byron Buxton will compete in next week’s MLB All-Star Home Run Derby.
    Buxton made the announcement on his Instagram page on Monday afternoon. The Georgia native becomes the fourth confirmed participant, joining Braves icon Ronald Acuña Jr., Mariners mashing backstop Cal Raleigh and Nationals burgeoning star James Wood. The 31-year-old center fielder has crushed 20 homers already this season and is on pace to threaten the 40-homer plateau for the first time in his career.
  • CLE 1st Baseman #43
    Guardians recalled 1B/OF Jhonkensy Noel from Triple-A Colmbus.
    Noel returns to the majors with Kyle Manzardo away from the club for the next couple days to deal with a family medical emergency. The 23-year-old slugger was demoted back in early June to Triple-A Columbus after hitting .146/.168/.223 with two homers and nine RBI in 107 plate appearances over 46 games.
  • CLE 1st Baseman #9
    Guardians placed 1B/DH Kyle Manzardo on the family medical emergency list.
    Manzardo will be away from the club for the next couple days. The 24-year-old first baseman has played sparingly in recent weeks for Cleveland, making just two starts over the club’s last seven games. It’ll be Jhonkensy Noel coming up to take his spot on the active roster.
  • COL Center Fielder #9
    Brenton Doyle is back in the lineup for Monday’s contest against the Red Sox.
    Doyle returns to center field on Monday night in Boston after receiving a three-game mental break to attempt to clear his head and work on adjustments. The 27-year-old outfielder is hitting just .206/.256/.336 with seven homers and nine steals through 76 games this season on the heels of last year’s impressive 23-homer, 30-steal breakthrough campaign.
  • COL Center Fielder #2
    Tyler Freeman (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox.
    Freeman is back atop Colorado’s lineup on Monday night at historic Fenway Park following a brief one-game absence due to right hamstring soreness. The 26-year-old outfielder told reporters over the weekend that he’s been dealing with the issue for a while at this juncture, so fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate him missing a ton of additional time, if any, leading into the All-Star break.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz is on the bench for Monday’s series opener against the Royals.
    Cruz heads to the bench after making eight consecutive starts in center field for Pittsburgh since June 28. Alexander Canario will patrol center field on Monday night in Kansas City. The 26-year-old power/speed combo threat has gone hitless in four of his last five games and hasn’t batted higher than fifth since June 25. His fantasy stock is clearly trending in the wrong direction, but it’s not out of the question that he uses the upcoming All-Star break to make adjustments and turn his season around.
  • PIT 1st Baseman #2
    Spencer Horwitz is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Royals.
    Jared Triolo gets the nod at the cold corner over Horwitz, who takes a seat after making eight consecutive starts since June 28. He’s batted leadoff in six straight games for the Pirates, which certainly helps his fantasy appeal in extremely deep formats.
  • STL Shortstop #87
    Cardinals promoted SS JJ Wetherholt to Triple-A Memphis.
    Wetherholt continues his meteoric rise towards St. Louis, reaching the doorstep of the majors almost exactly one calendar year after being selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. The 22-year-old middle infielder doesn’t offer a ton of over-the-fence pop, but he’s shown an ability to consistently put the ball in play with an opposite-field approach, which has led to high batting averages throughout the minors. He’s also an extremely talented athlete with decent stolen-base upside for fantasy purposes. He’s compiled a robust .300/.425/.466 slash line with 22 extra-base hits — seven home runs — and 14 steals across 275 plate appearances over 62 games this season for Double-A Springfield.
  • TB 2nd Baseman #7
    Ha-Seong Kim (calf) remains out of the lineup on Monday for the third consecutive game.
    Taylor Walls is at shortstop and batting eighth in his place on Monday night against the American League-leading Tigers. There was some optimism over the weekend that Kim would be ready for Monday’s series opener in Detroit, but he’s going to get some extra time off to rest and recover. The 29-year-old is dealing with a right calf issue. There should be a clearer update on his status at some point shortly.
