    Rio Ruiz has elected free agency.
    Ruiz has refused an outright minor-league assignment and will become a free agent instead. The 27-year-old infielder hit .168/.243/.272 with three home runs and a pair of stolen bases across 141 plate appearances with the Rockies and Orioles this past season.

  • HOU Catcher #21
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Yainer Diaz collected his 12th homer and 11th double Sunday in the Astros’ 5-1 defeat of the Dodgers.
    Diaz also homered Saturday, and he now has a season high .691 OPS. He’s hit .271/.298/.453 in 70 games since overcoming an ugly 2-for-33 start in his first nine games this season.
    Hold Muncy if placed on injured list
    Eric Samulski advises fantasy managers to "hold" Max Muncy if placed on the injured list, who has produced in a big way since the beginning of May, and discusses the outlook for Dodgers' call-up Esteury Ruiz.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #67
    Ryan Gusto pitched six innings and allowed one run Sunday in a victory over the Dodgers.
    Gusto managed just one strikeout and gave up 12 hard-hit balls today, but it all worked out for him, as the hard contact produced only one double and three singles. He’s now 6-3, even though he has a 4.61 ERA in 12 starts and seven relief appearances. He’ll face the Rangers next weekend.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #80
    Emmet Sheehan held the Astros to one run over five innings in a no-decision Sunday.
    Sheehan allowed five hits, walked one and struck out four in his second major league start this season. He’ll be rather interesting in mixed leagues if he gets to keep his spot, though with Tyler Glasnow returning later this week and Blake Snell likely back soon after the All-Star break, Sheehan might continue to get shuffled around between Triple-A and the majors.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #66
    After coming with the Dodgers down 2-1 in the eighth, Tanner Scott gave up two solo homers Sunday against the Astros.
    Christian Walker and Yainer Diaz took him deep. That Scott has as many homers allowed as walks allowed (seven) rates as one of the most bizarre stats of 2025. He allowed three homers and walked 36 last year. Over the course of his career, he has 7.2 times as many walks as homers allowed. Clearly, throwing more pitches in the strike zone has made him more hittable, and it doesn’t seem like the tradeoff has been worth it. Still, he had pitching well of late coming into the day; he’d allowed two runs — one earned — over 13 1/3 innings in his previous 13 appearances.
  • HOU 2nd Baseman #27
    Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 and hit his 16th homer Sunday in the win over the Dodgers.
    He also had a sac fly. It was a particularly good day for Altuve, who missed out on an All-Star nod in favor or Brandon Lowe at second base and no longer has to try to come up with an excuse for getting out of going to Atlanta. He’s batting .272/.332/.457.
  • LAD Left Fielder #37
    Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts relayed to reporters on Sunday that the imaging on the injured foot for Teoscar Hernandez came back clean.
    The 32-year-old slugger fouled a ball off of his foot during Saturday’s game against the Astros. Fortunately, he isn’t dealing with any fractures, though he is still dealing with a bit of soreness in the foot. He should be considered day-to-day.
  • LAD 2nd Baseman #25
    Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Tommy Edman is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right pinkie toe.
    The encouraging news is that the club does not expect Edman to require a trip to the injured list, though he may miss a few more games while dealing with the injury. Expect Hyeseong Kim to continue to fill in for him at second base until he’s ready to return.
  • SD Starting Pitcher #11
    Yu Darvish (elbow) will rejoin the Padres’ starting rotation on Monday evening against the Diamondbacks.
    The 38-year-old right-hander has yet to pitch for the Padres this season due to inflammation in his right elbow, though he has looked sharp in recent bullpen sessions and simulated games. It’s unclear if he’ll face any sort of workload limitations in that first start, but fantasy managers would probably be better served taking a wait-and-see approach rather than throwing him right to the wolves.
  • HOU Center Fielder #6
    Jake Meyers was removed from Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Dodgers due to a calf injury.
    Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters after the game that the 29-year-old outfielder’s calf tightened up on him during the game and that he was removed out of an abundance of caution. It doesn’t sound like anything that should lead to an extended absence, but fantasy managers should be sure to check his status on Monday before setting lineups for the week.
  • DET Center Fielder #95
    The Tigers promoted top prospects Max Clark, Kevin McGonigle and Josue Briceño from High-A West Michigan to Double-A Erie on Sunday.
    Clark, the third overall selection from the 2023 draft class, was hitting .285/.430/.427 with seven homers, 47 RBI and 12 stolen bases in his first 68 games at West Michigan. McGonigle was even better there — slashing a blistering .358/.450/.617 with seven homers, 39 RBI and three stolen bases in just 42 contests. Briceño was no slouch himself, slashing .296/.422/.602 with 15 long balls and 57 RBI. The Tigers own the best record in the American League at the moment and their future continues to look exceedingly bright.
