  • BOS 3rd Baseman #29

    Red Sox optioned INF/OF Bobby Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester.
    Dalbec heads back to the minors with Wilyer Abreu returning from the injured list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Reds. The 28-year-old has added some defensive versatility to his game, but his slashing .133/.217/.193 with one homer and three steals across 93 plate appearances this season in the majors. It’s not what you want.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Nationals RHP prospect Travis Sykora has been diagnosed with right triceps soreness and will be shut down from throwing for 2-3 weeks.
    Sykora will not pitch in next week’s All-Star Futures Game, which is a legitimate bummer for fantasy managers, and is going to be shut down until late July or early August. The positive news here is that it looks like the hard-throwing 21-year-old top pitching prospect will return before the season wraps up.
    Darvish is 'solid option' post-MLB All-Star break
    Yu Darvish made his season debut with the San Diego Padres on Monday night, and Eric Samulski dives into why the veteran starting pitcher could be a "solid option" in fantasy following the All-Star break.
  • WSH Relief Pitcher #57
    Nationals signed RHP Luis García to a one-year contract.
    García winds up latching on with Washington just a few days after being jettisoned from the Dodgers’ crowded bullpen mix. The well-traveled 38-year-old veteran reliever posted a bloated 5.27 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 24/16 K/BB ratio over 27 1/3 innings (28 appearances) earlier this year for Los Angeles. He’ll likely operate in middle relief for the Nationals and can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
  • WSH Catcher #81
    Nationals recalled C Drew Millas from Triple-A Rochester.
    Millas returns to the big leagues for Tuesday’s game against the Cardinals with starter Keibert Ruiz landing on the concussion injured list. He’ll split the catching duties with Riley Adams moving forward.
  • WSH Catcher #20
    Nationals placed C Keibert Ruiz on the 7-day concussion injured list.
    Ruiz heads back to the concussion injured list for the second time in the last two weeks. At this point we’re just hoping the 26-year-old backstop makes a full recovery as quickly as possible. There is no timetable for his return at the moment.
  • WSH Relief Pitcher #62
    Nationals optioned RHP Eduardo Salazar to Triple-A Rochester.
    Salazar heads back to the minors ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Cardinals. The 27-year-old righty has posted a ghastly 8.38 ERA across 29 innings (30 appearances) this season at the highest level.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #32
    Nationals transferred RHP Trevor Williams to the 60-day injured list.
    The procedural move frees up a spot on Washington’s 40-man roster for veteran reliever Luis García. The 33-year-old righty hit the shelf last week with a right elbow sprain and will likely miss the rest of the season.
  • PHI 3rd Baseman
    Phillies promoted 2B/3B prospect Aroon Escobar to High-A Jersey Shore.
    Escobar has blossomed into one of the more intriguing prospects in the dynasty landscape this season, slashing .285/.377/.452 with 11 homers and 10 steals across 69 games for Low-A Clearwater. The 20-year-old infield prospect has posted some impressive exit velocity data this season and has struck out only 16 percent of the time in 316 plate appearances. He’s a top-50 prospect for dynasty purposes heading into the All-Star break.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #34
    Kodai Senga (hamstring) will start on Friday against the Royals.
    It’s now official after Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Senga would take the ball on Friday without any restrictions from a workload standpoint. He also added that southpaw Sean Manaea (oblique) is poised to come off the injured list to take the ball on Sunday for the club’s first-half finale in a piggyback start with Clay Holmes. There’s a chance this plan changes in the coming days, but it sounds like both Senga and Manaea will return later this week to provide the Mets with a lift.
  • ARI 2nd Baseman #4
    Ketel Marte (groin) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Padres.
    Arizona fans, and fantasy managers, can breathe a little easier after Marte was a late scratch from Monday’s series opener for precautionary reasons due to right groin tightness. The 31-year-old All-Star second baseman is back at the keystone and batting second on Tuesday night at Petco Park.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Hunter Greene (groin) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday at Great American Ball Park.
    It’s an extremely encouraging sign that Greene is throwing after undergoing additional testing earlier this week after experiencing renewed groin discomfort. The hard-throwing 25-year-old fantasy ace was scheduled to make a minor league rehab start this week, but that’s no longer happening. There should be some clarity on his status at some point soon, but fantasy managers should view it as a positive development that he’s throwing again without an extended shutdown.
