  • MIA 3rd Baseman #36
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Jake Burger went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a win over the Braves.
    Burger has been on fire since the All-Star break, going 18-for-55 (.327) with seven home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored in 15 games. He’s also struck out 16 times in those 15 games and, obviously, 11 RBI when you have seven home runs is not ideal; however, Burger is certainly striking the ball well right now. If you need home runs, it’s time to put in your order.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #65

    Guardians optioned LHP Doug Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus.
    Nikhazy returns to the minors after making two appearances (one start) this season for Cleveland in his first shot in the big leagues. His latest stint with the club lasted roughly 48 hours after Luis L. Ortiz was placed on the restricted list earlier this week.
    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 Starting Pitcher
    The New York Post’s Joel Sherman reports the Yankees are planning to call up pitching prospect Cam Schlittler next week.
    Sherman adds that Schlittler will get the nod to replace an injured Clarke Schmidt, who is likely to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, in New York’s rotation to face the Mariners on Tuesday or Wednesday. The 24-year-old righty has pitched extremely well this season with a sparkling 2.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 99/26 K/BB ratio across 76 2/3 innings (15 appearances, 14 starts) this season between Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset. We’re advising a wait-and-see approach, but there’s at least a few weeks of runway for Schlittler to make an impression before Luis Gil (lat) is ready to return from the injured list for his season debut.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #7
    Blake Snell (shoulder) faced hitters on Saturday in a live batting practice session at Dodger Stadium.
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Snell could be cleared for a rehab assignment based on how he comes out of Saturday’s latest throwing session. It’s the second time in the past week that the 32-year-old lefty has faced hitters in a live setting. He’ll likely need a handful of rehab starts before he’s ready to rejoin Los Angeles’ rotation mix.
  • FA Center Fielder #8
    Braves released OF Alex Verdugo.
    Verdugo is now a free agent after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 29-year-old outfielder was designated for assignment earlier this week by Atlanta after hitting .239/.296/.289 with zero homers over 56 games with the club. He’ll likely have to settle for a minor league contract if he’s going to latch on elsewhere.
  • BOS Left Fielder #7
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) will return before the All-Star break.
    Yoshida is currently playing at Triple-A Worcester on a rehab assignment, but should return to Boston for his season debut at some point next week before the All-Star break. He figures to occupy the DH spot against right-handed pitching and could even factor into their first-base mix.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #24
    Zach Eflin (back) has resumed throwing.
    Eflin remains without an official return timetable after hitting the shelf earlier this week with lower back discomfort. It’s a positive sign he’s resumed throwing, but he’s likely going to need a couple weeks before he’s ready to rejoin Baltimore’s rotation mix.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #81
    Blue Jays recalled RHP Robinson Piña from Triple-A Buffalo.
    Piña gets the call to join Toronto’s bullpen with veteran Yimi García hitting the injured list with a sprained ankle. The 26-year-old righty, who made one relief appearance earlier this season for the Marlins, was acquired last week in a small trade. He’ll be making his Blue Jays debut when he gets into a game.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #93
    Blue Jays placed RHP Yimi García on the 15-day injured list with a left ankle sprain.
    García returns to the injured list for the second time this season. No word yet on the severity of the sprain, which will determine how much time he winds up missing. The 34-year-old veteran remains a key component of Toronto’s high-leverage mix behind closer Jeff Hoffman.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #36
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Clarke Schmidt has been diagnosed with a UCL tear and will likely undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.
    It’s a brutal development for the Yankees, and fantasy managers alike, as Schmidt had pitched to a strong 3.32 ERA across 78 2/3 innings (14 starts) this season before hitting the injured list earlier this week with forearm tightness. The 29-year-old’s absence puts some additional strain on New York’s rotation heading towards the trade deadline. Allan Winans and Cam Schlittler are the most likely candidates to fill his rotation spot. Given the timing of the procedure, Schmidt is unlikely to make it back until the late stages of the 2026 season.
  • MIL Right Fielder #20
    Brewers sent OF Daz Cameron outright to Triple-A Nashville.
    Cameron has the option to elect free agency or stick around with Milwaukee as extra organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old outfielder got into 21 games this season for the Brewers, hitting .195 (8-for-41) with one homer and one stolen base.
