  • NYM Starting Pitcher #40

    Bartolo Colon has signed a one-year deal with Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League.
    Colon has been trying to get back into MLB-affiliated ball for the last two offseasons -- and had specifically expressed a desire to play for the Mets -- but the interest was apparently one-sided. The 47-year-old last pitched in MLB with the Rangers in 2018, struggling to a 5.78 ERA and 81/25 K/BB ratio in 146 1/3 innings.

  • TOR Right Fielder #25

    Anthony Santander was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Padres with left hip inflammation.
    Santander has been dealing with a lingering hip issue since last Friday. He finished 1-for-3 before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning with the Blue Jays leading by a touchdown. There should be an update on his status ahead of Thursday’s series finale. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him get a couple extra days off to address the ailment.
    What Crews' MRI means for Hassell III's outlook
    With Dylan Crews set to undergo an MRI after exiting Tuesday's game, Eric Samulski assesses whether fantasy managers should rush to roster former top prospect Robert Hassell III after his promotion.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #32
    Aaron Civale (hamstring) was scratched from Wednesday’s minor league rehab start for Triple-A Nashville.
    Civale was scheduled to take the ball for the second game of Wednesday’s Triple-A doubleheader following Tuesday’s rainout, but that’s no longer happening. It sounds like there’s a decent chance he’s heading to rejoin the Brewers to start Thursday’s series opener against the Pirates. There should be an official update from Milwaukee at some point prior to Thursday’s contest.
  • TEX Catcher #28
    Jonah Heim was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Yankees with a compressed nerve in his right hand.
    It’s a bit unclear whether the issue is serious enough to warrant a trip to the injured list, but the Rangers can probably afford to give him a few days to rest and recover since they’re presently carrying three catchers on their active roster. The 29-year-old backstop appeared to injure his hand on a swing early in Wednesday’s game at Yankee Stadium and was forced to leave the contest. There should be an update on his status ahead of Thursday’s series finale, weather permitting.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter recorded seven strikeouts and allowed two runs — one earned — over four innings on Wednesday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
    Painter built up his pitch count to 71 (49 strikes) in his second outing at the Triple-A level. The dynamic 22-year-old top pitching prospect is expected to arrive in the majors at some point in the early stages of the second half after a couple additional outings on the doorstep of the big leagues. He should make an immediate impact for fantasy managers once he debuts.
  • CIN Relief Pitcher #72
    Reds optioned RHP Lyon Richardson to Triple-A Louisville.
    The move clears a roster spot for the Reds to activate ace Hunter Greene (groin) from the injured list to start Friday’s series opener against the Cubs. Richardson has compiled a strong 1.32 ERA across 13 2/3 innings (10 appearances) this season in the big leagues.
  • LAA Center Fielder #27
    Mike Trout (knee) progressed to running at roughly 80 percent on Wednesday.
    Trout still needs to run the bases at full speed before he’s cleared to return to the Angels’ lineup, but that’s the lone hurdle standing in his way at this juncture. The 33-year-old generational talent figures to be activated from the injured list at some point later this week or early next week.
  • CHC 2nd Baseman #12
    Cubs sent INF Nicky Lopez outright to Triple-A Iowa.
    Lopez will remain with the Cubs as extra organizational infield depth after being removed from the club’s 40-man roster earlier this week. The 30-year-old defensive specialist went 1-for-18 in a 14-game stint with Chicago.
  • TEX Catcher #28
    Jonah Heim left Wednesday’s game against the Yankees with an apparent hand injury.
    Heim appeared to injure his right hand and was unable to continue due to difficulty throwing the ball back to the mound. He was replaced by Tucker Barnhart. The silver lining here is that the Rangers are carrying three catchers already so they might not need to make a roster move at all. There should be an update on his status shortly.
  • BAL Center Fielder #12
    Ramón Laureano (ankle) was held out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Brewers.
    The positive news here is that Laureano didn’t wind up hitting the injured list after suffering a scary-looking ankle injury during Tuesday’s contest. He’s day-to-day heading into a four-game series against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
  • LAA 1st Baseman #18
    Nolan Schanuel is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Athletics.
    Schanuel is batting .212 in 33 at-bats this season against left-handers, so he’ll grab a seat on Wednesday night with veteran Kevin Newman getting a chance to face Athletics southpaw JP Sears. The suddenly red-hot Angels are vying for their sixth consecutive victory and are close to getting Mike Trout back from the injured list.
