  • SD Left Fielder #26
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    According to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, the Padres signed outfielder Tim Locastro to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.
    The 31-year-old has become a fourth outfielder with speed and plus defense. Last season with the Mets, he played in 41 games, registering a .731 OPS with two homers and six steals in just 67 plate appearances. The Padres have a lack of outfield depth after trading Juan Soto and Trent Grisham to the Yankees, so Locastro could compete with prospects Jackson Merrill and Grant Pauley for the final outfield spot on the MLB roster.
  • LAA Shortstop #13

    Angels selected the contract of INF Scott Kingery from Triple-A Salt Lake.
    The 31-year-old former top prospect has appeared in 14 games with the Angels already this season, hitting .160/.222/.200 with zero RBI, one stolen base and a 10/2 K/BB ratio over 27 plate appearances. He’ll add depth on the team’s bench for the month of September but won’t hold any fantasy value.

  • LAA Starting Pitcher
    Angels selected the contract of LHP Mitch Farris from Double-A Rocket City.
    It’s the first trip to the show for the 24-year-old southpaw who was a 14th round selection by the Braves from the 2023 draft class. Farris has made 23 appearances (22 starts) at Double-A Rocket City this season, registering a 4.27 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 142/55 K/BB ratio over 116 innings. He’ll slot into the Angels’ rotation on either Tuesday or Wednesday against the Royals.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #45
    Dodgers signed LHP Andrew Heaney to a minor league contract.
    Heaney will head to Triple-A for now, but he’ll be postseason eligible. He was recently released by the Pirates after posting a 5.39 ERA in 23 starts and three relief appearances.
  • SEA Catcher #72
    Mariners selected the contract of C Harry Ford from Triple-A Tacoma.
    Ford, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 draft, will make his major league debut after hitting .283/.408/.460 with 16 homers and seven steals for Tacoma. After seeing a little time in the outfield last year, he was exclusively a catcher this season. He probably won’t be a full-timer for the Mariners, but he could see some action between DH and catcher in tandem with Cal Raleigh, at least when Jorge Polanco is starting in the infield. Mitch Garver is surely in line for less playing time.
  • LAA Left Fielder #33
    Angels activated INF/OF Chris Taylor from the 10-day injured list.
    The versatile 35-year-old returns to action for Monday’s series finale against the Astros in Houston after missing six weeks with a fractured left hand. He’ll see action all over the diamond for the Halos but his days of mixed league viability from a fantasy perspective are in the rearview mirror.
  • SEA Shortstop #76
    Mariners recalled INF Leo Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma.
    Rivas hit .283/.411/.300 in 73 plate appearances between April and May, but the Mariners had kept him in the minors the last three months, even as he was hitting .318/.471/.507 at Tacoma. He’ll probably get some starts over Cole Young against lefties but mostly sit versus righties.
  • SEA Relief Pitcher #49
    Mariners selected the contract of RHP Luke Jackson from Triple-A Tacoma.
    Jackson, who was signed to a minor league contract 10 days ago, will join the Mariners pen after posting a 4.54 ERA in 42 appearances for the Rangers and Tigers this season.
  • FA Shortstop #39
    Mariners released INF Donovan Solano.
    That the Mariners waited until Solano would be postseason ineligible for another team to do this doesn’t seem quite right. Solano hit .252/.295/.344 in 176 plate appearances for the Mariners, but that was because of an awful start. He was at .324/.375/.461 in 112 plate appearances since May 20. Still, the team had mostly stopped using him while more often turning to Mitch Garver.
  • SEA Relief Pitcher #78
    Mariners designated RHP Sauryn Lao for assignment.
    Lao, who was already in Triple-A, gets bumped from the 40-man to make room for Harry Ford and Luke Jackson. Sao made two appearances for the Mariners earlier this season, giving up three earned runs in 3 1/3 innings.
  • LAA Right Fielder #51
    Angels transferred OF Gustavo Campero to the 60-day injured list.
    Campero is battling a right ankle sprain and isn’t going to make it back in time before the end of the season, so the Angels will find a better way to utilize his spot on the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old outfielder finishes the season hitting .172/.273/.345 with three homers, eight RBI, four stolen bases and a 14/5 K/BB ratio in 66 plate appearances for the Halos.
