    Tigers released INF Brendon Davis.
    Davis re-signed with the Tigers last November after being non-tendered and didn’t end up making it back to Detroit. The 25-year-old infielder was a notable prospect a few seasons ago, but hasn’t quite worked out. He got into three games last year for the Tigers in his big-league debut.
  • BAL Left Fielder #17

    Colton Cowser (general soreness) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rays.
    Cowser is in left field and batting eighth on Monday night following a three-game absence stemming from a collision with the center-field wall during last Thursday’s showdown against the Tigers. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .219 (7-for-32) with two homers in nine games since returning from the injured list back on June 3.
    Fantasy impact of Ohtani returning to mound
    James Schiano explains the fantasy implications of Shohei Ohtani being expected to make his Dodgers pitching debut Monday night, sharing how fantasy baseball team managers should handle Ohtani's return to the mound.
  • BAL 1st Baseman #32
    Ryan O’Hearn (ankle) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rays.
    O’Hearn sat out a pair of contests over the weekend with left ankle soreness. The 31-year-old slugger is back at first base and batting fifth on Monday evening with rookie Coby Mayo getting the night off.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #61
    Jake Cousins will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Cousins will undergo the season-ending procedure on Wednesday after being shut down from throwing last week with renewed elbow discomfort. It’s a definite hit to New York’s relief depth as Cousins compiled a sparkling 2.37 ERA across 38 innings (37 appearances) last year in his Yankees debut. He figures to miss most of the 2026 season as well, given the timing of the procedure.
  • WSH 2nd Baseman #2
    Luis García Jr. is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rockies.
    García takes a seat along with fellow left-handed batter Nathaniel Lowe, while switch-hitters Josh Bell and Keibert Ruiz are also on the bench on Monday night with rookie southpaw Carson Palmquist taking the ball for Washington.
  • PHI 2nd Baseman #5
    Bryson Stott is batting seventh on Monday against the Marlins.
    Stott has batted fifth or lower in seven of his past eight games since June 6. The 27-year-old speedster’s fantasy appeal takes a hit with the move to the lower third of Philadelphia’s lineup and is batting just .193 (21-for-109) with one homer and four steals over his last 30 games. He remains a borderline mixed-league option for fantasy purposes given the state of the second base position overall, but it might be time for managers to start considering alternatives on the free agent wire.
  • COL Center Fielder #2
    Tyler Freeman is batting second on Monday night against the Nationals.
    Freeman is at DH and batting second for the second straight contest on Monday night at Nationals Park. The versatile 26-year-old could be worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues, if he’s able to remain near the top of Colorado’s lineup for the remainder of the year. He’s been on a roll lately, hitting .381 (16-for-42) with one homer and two steals over his last 15 games.
  • SF Shortstop #1
    Giants sent INF Osleivis Basabe outright to Triple-A Sacramento.
    No team put a claim in on the 24-year-old Basabe, who was viewed as a quality shortstop prospect a couple of years ago. He hit .296/.351/.426 in his first season in Triple-A in 2023 and played in 31 major league games for the Rays that year. Since then, though, he’s mostly struggled. The Giants acquired him over the winter after the Rays decided not to use a 40-man slot on him. Now no one thought he was worth having on the 40-man.
  • PIT Relief Pitcher #36
    Pirates activated RHP Dauri Moreta from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.
    Moreta, who is coming back from Tommy John, had a 3.07 ERA in 14 2/3 innings for Indianapolis on his rehab assignment, but he walked 12 batters. His velocity is also still down a tad. He’ll probably be back in the Pirates pen before long, but the team wasn’t ready to carry him just yet.
  • PIT Catcher #59
    Pirates designated C Brett Sullivan for assignment.
    Sullivan was serving as the backup to Henry Davis with Endy Rodríguez and Joey Bart on the IL, but Bart is expected back Tuesday. Sullivan was 1-for-6 with two RBI and a walk during his time with the Pirates.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #43
    Astros placed RHP Lance McCullers Jr., retroactive to June 11, on the 15-day injured list with a right foot sprain.
    McCullers was supposed to start tonight, and the Astros had never relayed that anything was wrong with him. Ryan Gusto, who was due to start Tuesday, will take his place and start on four days’ rest. The Astros will need someone else to fill in for Gusto tomorrow. It could be Jason Alexander if he’s not needed tonight, or maybe the Astros will bring up A.J. Blubaugh, who would be on four days’ rest.
