    Nationals designated LHP Jake McGee for assignment.
    McGee struggled during a month-long stay with the Nats. He’ll now look to latch on with a fourth team this season.

  • TOR Relief Pitcher #62

    Blue Jays optioned LHP Easton Lucas to Triple-A Buffalo.
    Lucas has been handed a return ticket to the minors after tossing 4 2/3 scoreless innings on Saturday to pick up a win in relief against the Athletics. The 28-year-old southpaw figures to return in some capacity down the road, most likely in a swingman-type role.
    Palencia 'asserts himself' as Cubs closer
    Daniel Palencia has four saves in his last four appearances, and James Schiano examines how the 25-year-old flamethrower has officially asserted himself as the Chicago Cubs closer moving forward.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #51
    Phillies recalled RHP Seth Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
    Johnson has made the conversion from starter to a relief role seamlessly this season, registering a serviceable 4.91 ERA and 42/21 K/BB ratio across 33 innings (16 appearances) at the Triple-A level. The 26-year-old was a notable pitching prospect a couple years ago with the Orioles, but he’s unlikely to make an impact for fantasy purposes operating in long relief.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #66
    Phillies designated RHP José Ruiz for assignment.
    Philadelphia has decided to move from Ruiz after he allowed five runs in his lone inning of work during Saturday’s lopsided defeat at the hands of the Twins. The 30-year-old righty hits the waiver wire after posting a disastrous 8.16 ERA across 14 1/3 innings (16 appearances) this season in the big leagues.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #48
    Jacob deGrom (finger) will start on Sunday against the Cardinals.
    There was reason for concern earlier this week when deGrom exited Monday’s outing against the Blue Jays with a potential finger issue. However, the 36-year-old ace has been cleared to take the ball on Sunday afternoon. It’s unclear whether he’ll have any workload limitations after throwing just 81 pitches earlier this week, but it’s a variable that fantasy managers should monitor.
  • ATL Shortstop #2
    Nick Allen (hand) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Red Sox.
    Allen is back at shortstop and batting ninth on Sunday afternoon following a two-game absence stemming from a hit by pitch earlier this week.
  • BOS 3rd Baseman #40
    Red Sox selected the contract of INF/OF Nate Eaton from Triple-A Worcester.
    Eaton is back in the majors for the first time since getting into 72 contests for Kansas City from 2022-2023. The 28-year-old offers some defensive versatility in a bench role and is certainly worthy of a promotion after hitting .277/.364/.446 with five homers and four steals over 53 games this season at the Triple-A level.
  • BOS Relief Pitcher #99
    Red Sox recalled RHP Luis Guerrero from Triple-A Worcester.
    Guerrero returns to Boston’s bullpen mix ahead of Sunday’s game against Atlanta. The 24-year-old has allowed just one run over 5 1/3 innings (four appearances) this season in the big leagues. He figures to stick around for a while given his potential to emerge as one of the better arms in the Red Sox bullpen.
  • BOS Relief Pitcher #63
    Red Sox placed RHP Justin Slaten on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 29, with right shoulder inflammation.
    Shoulder issues are never good. No word yet on the severity, which will determine how much time Slaten winds up missing. It’s a definite hit to Boston’s high-leverage mix as the 27-year-old righty was one of the main cogs helping bridge the gap to veteran lefty Aroldis Chapman. He hasn’t been missing bats of late and the emergence of a shoulder issue might explain that development.
  • BOS Shortstop #20
    Red Sox optioned INF Nick Sogard to Triple-A Worcester.
    Sogard returns to the minors with Romy Gonzalez (quad) nearing a return to the big leagues in the next few days. It’ll be Abraham Toro handling the cold corner for now in Boston.
  • BOS Catcher #18
    Red Sox designated C Blake Sabol for assignment.
    Sabol loses his spot on Boston’s 40-man roster after hitting .125 over eight games earlier this season in the majors. The emergence of Carlos Narváez as one of the top catchers in the American League certainly helped make Sabol expendable when an inevitable roster crunch hit.
