  • MLB Catcher #14

    Braves purchased the contract of C Jonathan Lucroy from Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Lucroy replaces William Contreras on the roster. The former All-Star has been fantasy irrelevant over the last few years, and he’ll likely split time behind the plate with Kevan Smith for the time being.

  • CWS Relief Pitcher #51

    White Sox selected the contract of RHP Miguel Castro from Triple-A Charlotte.
    Castro was acquired from the Astros yesterday after posting a 2.29 ERA in 19 2/3 innings out of the pen at Triple-A Sugar Land. The 10-year major league veteran will be a candidate to handle late leads for the White Sox.
    Romano back on track in late-inning appearances
    Eric Samulski examines Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano returning to form after a rough start to the season and whether he's worth picking up in fantasy leagues.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #51
    White Sox optioned LHP Jared Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte.
    Shuster had a 7.59 ERA in 10 2/3 innings of relief work in his four weeks with the White Sox.
  • CWS Shortstop #8
    White Sox designated INF Jacob Amaya for assignment.
    This opens up a spot for waiver claim Vinny Capra. Amaya was 6-for-62 with one extra-base hit and two walks this season, giving him a pitcher-like .097/.119/.113 line. He’s at .144/.176/.158 in 149 career major league plate appearances, and while his defense is good, it’s not as amazing as it would need to be to make up for that kind of performance.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #55
    Braves optioned RHP Bryce Elder to Triple-A Gwinnett.
    With Spencer Strider coming back, Elder is getting bounced from the rotation in spite of a run that’s seen him post a 3.10 ERA in his five turns. The Braves might have been better off sticking with Elder and shifting Grant Holmes to the pen, but they weren’t willing to go that route right now.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #46
    Braves recalled LHP Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Dodd, up for the first time this year, had a 5.74 ERA but a 21/3 K/BB in 15 2/3 innings out of the pen for Gwinnett. It’s the first real go at relieving for the 2021 third-round pick.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #58
    Victor Mederos tossed six shutout innings for Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
    Mederos has been on a roll since joining Salt Lake after a brief major league callup last month; he’s allowed a total of three runs in 17 2/3 innings over three starts. The 23-year-old has only pitched in relief in brief major league stints since debuting in 2023, but he’s a rotation candidate now if anything opens up.
  • COL Shortstop #14
    Ezequiel Tovar doubled twice and walked for Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
    He also had a 107-mph lineout. Tovar, on the IL with a hip contusion, should return this weekend. He’s gone 4-for-18 in five rehab games to date.
  • DET 2nd Baseman
    Hao-Yu Lee went 4-for-6 with a triple and a double for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
    The four hits ranged from 101.1 to 110.5 mph off the bat. Lee, 22, is batting .257/.345/.398 with three homers and five steals in his first Triple-A stint, and the Tigers have him splitting time evenly between second and third. He’s probably not going to help the major league club this year, but he could be a factor in 2026, especially if Jace Jung continues to have issues.
  • CHC 3rd Baseman #6
    Matt Shaw hit a pair of homers in the second game of a doubleheader for Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
    He also went 1-for-3 with a walk in the first game. Shaw is up to .284/.408/.519 with four homers in 98 plate appearances for Iowa. Throw out his first five games following his demotion, when he was just 1-for-17, and he’s at .344/.440/.641 in his last 17 games.
  • MIN 3rd Baseman #64
    Jose Miranda went 0-for-3 for Triple-A St. Paul in Thursday’s game.
    Miranda missed four weeks after his demotion last month due to a left-hand injury suffered off the field. He’s played every other day since returning last week and gone 1-for-14 with five strikeouts so far. Clearly, it’s going to be a little while longer before he’s a candidate to rejoin the Twins.
