  • STL Starting Pitcher #31

    Cardinals placed RHP Lance Lynn on the 15-day injured list with right knee inflammation.
    As soon as Erick Fedde was acquired, we joked that it might be time for a Lynn IL stint. He was seen walking around with a limp after giving up one run in five innings last night, and the Cardinals beat seems convinced it wasn’t an acting job. His absence means Andre Pallante will get to remain in the St. Louis rotation for now.
  • CWS Center Fielder #88

    Luis Robert Jr. (groin) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Cubs.
    Robert is back at DH and batting seventh following a two-game absence due to groin tightness. The 27-year-old center fielder figures to be on the move at some point ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline and could certainly benefit from a change of scenery. The encouraging news here is that he’s feeling healthy enough to get back on the field and has been on a bit of a hot streak since returning from the injured list back in late June.
    Jones' power production can't be ignored
    James Schiano evaluates the potential of New York Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones, explaining why the 24-year-old outfielder's power production can't be ignored as he's compiled 29 home runs in the minors this season.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #62
    Royals recalled RHP Jonathan Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha.
    Bowlan was up with Kansas City for Saturday’s doubleheader against Cleveland and will remain in the big leagues in the wake of starter Kris Bubic hitting the injured list with a rotator cuff strain. The 28-year-old righty holds a respectable 4.93 ERA over 23 2/3 innings (17 appearances) this season in the big leagues.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #50
    Royals placed LHP Kris Bubic on the 15-day injured list with a left rotator cuff strain.
    Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters Bubic will undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the strain after experiencing shoulder stiffness during Saturday’s doubleheader against the Guardians. The 27-year-old southpaw has been one of the biggest breakthrough arms in the fantasy landscape this season with a pristine 2.55 ERA and 116/39 K/BB ratio across 116 1/3 innings (20 starts). There should be a definitive return timetable at some point in the coming days.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #7
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Blake Snell (shoulder) will make his next start in the majors.
    Snell’s impending return pushes Los Angeles to a six-man rotation for the next couple weeks with Shohei Ohtani starting the next two Wednesday’s against the Reds and Cardinals, respectively. The 32-year-old southpaw is on track to make his first start since April 2 on Friday against the Rays after tossing 4 2/3 shutout frames on Saturday in his final rehab outing for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
  • LAD 2nd Baseman #6
    Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Red Sox.
    As expected, Kim will take a seat as the Dodgers attempt to manage a lingering shoulder issue that he’s been playing through. There’s been no indication that he’s at risk of landing on the injured list, but that remains a possibility if he’s not feeling better in a couple days.
  • LAD Right Fielder #50
    Mookie Betts is back in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.
    Betts is back at shortstop and leading off Sunday afternoon’s showdown at familiar Fenway Park following a two-game absence due to a personal issue, although he did strike out as a pinch-hitter to end Saturday’s game. The 32-year-old fantasy stalwart has been mired in an extended offensive tailspin for several weeks and hasn’t shown too many signs that he’s coming out of it. He’ll continue batting leadoff for a loaded Dodgers’ lineup until Max Muncy (knee) is back from the injured list at some point in August.
  • BAL Catcher #35
    Adley Rutschman (oblique) will be activated from the injured list for Monday’s series opener against the Blue Jays.
    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino confirmed Sunday that Rutschman will complete his rehab assignment this weekend and rejoin the team for Monday’s series opener at Camden Yards. The 27-year-old’s first career injured list stint in late June plunged Baltimore’s catching situation into complete disarray. Even if he’s been underwhelming at the plate this season from a fantasy perspective, his return should provide a stabilizing presence behind the dish.
  • PHI Right Fielder #8
    Nick Castellanos (knee) is in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees.
    Castellanos returns to right field and the cleanup spot Sunday at Yankee Stadium after missing one game with a left knee bruise. The 33-year-old veteran appears to be fine after jamming his knee during Friday’s contest, and the issue doesn’t seem to be a long-term concern.
  • TEX Designated Hitter #4
    Rangers activated DH Joc Pederson from the 10-day injured list.
    Pederson is back at DH and batting fifth for Sunday’s series finale against Atlanta following a two-month absence recovering from a fractured right hand. The 33-year-old veteran slugger figures to play regularly against right-handed pitching and bat in the heart of Texas’ lineup over the final two months.
  • TEX 2nd Baseman #24
    Rangers optioned INF/OF Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock.
    Helman has made a couple flashy plays from a power/speed standpoint, but there simply isn’t room for him on Texas’ bench with veteran Joc Pederson back from the injured list to occupy the DH slot. The 29-year-old’s defensive versatility should help him carve out a role as a reserve somewhere down the line.
