  • MLB Outfield #22

    Yankees released OF Jacoby Ellsbury.
    Ellsbury will get $21.14 million to not play for the Yankees in 2020, plus a $5 million buyout of the $21 million he would have been owed in 2021 if New York had picked up his option. Putting it mildly, the signing of Ellsbury has been a failure for the Yankees, as he hasn’t appeared in an MLB game since 2017 due to a plethora of injuries. He’s now free to sign with another team, but it seems unlikely there’ll be much of a market for the 36-year-old outfielder.
  • CWS Center Fielder #88

    Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) is likely to be activated from the injured list at some point this week.
    Nothing official from the White Sox, but it sounds like Robert could make it back prior to next week’s All-Star break. The 27-year-old center fielder hit the injured list back in late June with a mild left hamstring strain.
    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.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Hunter Greene (groin) has been scratched from Tuesday’s scheduled minor league rehab start for Triple-A Louisville due to renewed discomfort.
    Ugh. Greene underwent further testing, including an MRI, on Monday after experiencing renewed discomfort in his groin area. The hard-throwing 25-year-old righty was getting close to making it back to Cincinnati’s rotation by the end of July, but that’s now on hold. This latest development certainly qualifies as a setback. There should be some official clarity on his status at some point later this week.
  • FA Right Fielder #23
    Rangers OF Billy McKinney has elected free agency.
    McKinney will head to the open market after passing through waivers unclaimed and refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Round Rock. The 30-year-old journeyman was up last week as a temporary replacement while Evan Carter was away from the club on the bereavement list.
  • CWS 3rd Baseman #43
    White Sox recalled INF Tristan Gray from Triple-A Charlotte.
    Gray receives the call to join Chicago’s bench mix, replacing an injured Ryan Noda (quad), ahead of Monday’s game against the Blue Jays. The 29-year-old infielder was added to the club’s 40-man roster over the weekend. He’s gotten into 36 games between three different organizations at the highest level since 2023.
  • CWS 1st Baseman #29
    White Sox placed 1B Ryan Noda on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain.
    Noda will be out through next week’s All-Star break. The 29-year-old first baseman has occupied a bench role for Chicago over the last few weeks, hitting .088 (3-for-34) with one homer over 16 games.
  • MIA 2nd Baseman #6
    Otto Lopez is on the bench for Monday’s series opener against the Reds.
    It’s an extremely rare off day for Lopez, who has been a fixture in the heart of Miami’s lineup this season. Rookie Javier Sanoja will take over at shortstop on Monday night. The 26-year-old middle infielder could probably use a break since he’s gone ice-cold over the last week, hitting .154 (4-for-26) over his last seven games. He’s been a strong fantasy contributor this season as he’s up to a career-high nine home runs and has also chipped in nine steals through 73 games.
  • BOS 3rd Baseman #2
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Alex Bregman (quad) could potentially be activated this week from the injured list.
    Cora didn’t offer any specifics on Monday while speaking to reporters, but added that Bregman would be back “sooner rather than later.” The 31-year-old third baseman, who has been out since late May recovering from a quad strain, is going through his usual pre-game workout at Fenway Park and it sounds like there’s optimism he’ll return at some point later this week. There should be a more definitive update in the coming days, but this is certainly a positive development.
  • BOS Left Fielder #7
    Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) is likely to be activated from the injured list for Wednesday’s game against the Rockies.
    Yoshida is wrapping up a minor league rehab assignment and figures to be ready to make his season debut on Wednesday at Fenway Park. The 31-year-old’s defensive limitations complicate Boston’s crowded playing time picture at multiple spots, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they decided to move on from one of their more prominent outfielders in the coming weeks.
  • 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.
  • 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.
