  • NYM Shortstop

    Mets signed supplemental first-round pick SS Colin Houck.
    The Mets selected Houck with the 32nd pick in Sunday’s draft, though he was ranked much higher on most prospect lists due to his hit and power tools. The thought was that it would take a nice payday to lure him away from a commitment at Mississippi State, and the Mets managed to get there with a $2.75 million bonus. The projected draft slot was $2,607,500. And so, ultimately the Mets did well despite having to wait to make their first pick of the draft.
  • MIL 1st Baseman #12

    Rhys Hoskins left Saturday’s game against the Marlins with left thumb discomfort.
    The injury occurred while making a tag in the fourth inning. The 32-year-old was replaced by Jake Bauers. He’ll likely need to undergo testing, and his potential availability should be updated before Saturday’s game against Miami.
    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.
  • NYY 3rd Baseman #3
    Yankees signed INF Jeimer Candelario to a minor league contract.
    Candelario was released by the Reds after hitting just .113/.198/.213 in 91 plate appearances in 2025. The 31-year-old could be a bench option for the Yankees if he performs well in Triple-A with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but will need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to be promoted. It’s hard to imagine he’ll be fantasy relevant if/when he gets that promotion to New York.
  • BAL Catcher #99
    Gary Sanchez left Saturday’s game against ATlanta with right knee pain.
    It’s not known when the injury occurred. The 32-year-old has been replaced by Jacob Stallings. There should be more info on Sanchez’s availability soon, but the Orioles may need to make a move just based on the plethora of injuries that have occurred behind the plate.
  • STL Catcher #63
    Pinch-hitter Yohel Pozo delivered a three-run homer in the top of the eighth to help the Cardinals top the Cubs 8-6 on Saturday.
    The Cardinals scored five times off Brad Keller in the eighth, with Pozo delivering the big blow after hitting for Pedro Pagés. Pozo is batting .329/.333/.506 with three homers in 81 plate appearances since being called up Apr. 7. The Cardinals love Pagés’ defense too much to make a switch behind the plate, but at least they’ve been willing to make the late-game change when they need offense.
  • STL Relief Pitcher #52
    Matthew Liberatore pitched five innings of two-run ball Saturday against the Cubs.
    Liberatore walked four, but he mostly got away with it, as just two of the 15 balls in play against him were hard-hit. One of those was a wind-aided homer from Michael Busch. Liberatore has allowed a total of six runs over his last four starts, lowering his ERA from 4.17 to 3.70. He’ll likely face the Braves on Friday.
  • STL Relief Pitcher #56
    Ryan Helsley tossed a perfect ninth against the Cubs for his 17th save Saturday.
    Helsley has turned in five straight scoreless appearances since opening June with three blown saves and runs allowed in four consecutive outings. He got two flyouts and then a game-ending strikeout of Michael Busch today.
  • CHC Starting Pitcher #77
    Chris Flexen allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings as a bulk guy Saturday against the Cardinals.
    Flexen had to enter the game in the first after opener Drew Pomeranz loaded the bases with just one out. He immediately gave up a two-run single, but he finished the frame without further the damage. The lone run charged to Flexen came on Nolan Gorman’s homer in the fourth. The Cubs will need a fifth starter once more before the break, probably Thursday against the Twins or Friday in the Yankees. Flexen could start or again work as a bulk guy, but Jordan Wicks is also a candidate to get the nod.
  • STL Right Fielder #41
    Alec Burleson went 3-for-5 and hit his 11th homer Saturday against the Cubs.
    The homer came off Brad Keller in the eighth. Burleson isn’t getting as many singles as usual lately, but he has six homers and 17 RBI in his last 17 games. Fantasy leaguers surely approve. Burleson is slugging .472 this season, up from .390 as a rookie in 2023 and .420 last season.
  • CHC 1st Baseman #29
    Making a rare start against a lefty, Michael Busch went 3-for-5 and hit another homer Saturday against the Cardinals.
    Busch has seven hits, including four homers, the last two days. His homer today was the first by a lefty off Matthew Liberatore this season. Busch is typically platooned with Justin Turner, and he came into the day just 6-for-43 against lefties this season, but yesterday’s massive game kept him in the lineup for this one. He’s up to sixth in the majors with a .939 OPS, and it’s going to be very difficult to keep him off the NL All-Star team,
  • SD Shortstop #2
    Xander Bogaerts (hamstring) is hitting fifth and playing shortstop against the Rangers.
    Bogaerts was removed from Friday’s game with a hamstring injury, but the 32-year-old is feeling well enough to play up the middle and hit in the middle of the San Diego lineup.
