Romo is presumably coming up as a one-for-one replacement for Elias Diaz, who was released. Romo hit .297 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI in 85 games at Triple-A this year. He should be the primary catcher for the Rockies for the rest of the year. Romo has appeal in NL-Only leagues and potentially deeper mixed leagues as well.

Since being recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday, Schmitt has started two straight games at third base with Brett Wisely shifting to the bench, which is notable since both games have come against right-handed pitchers and Wisely bats left-handed. Schmitt has hit just .213 with five home runs in 89 at-bats at the MLB level this year but was slashing .274/.343/.469 in 74 games at Triple-A with 13 home runs and 11 steals. He could provide some deep league value in the final week if he keeps the job.

It appears to be a routine day off for Ramos, who has struggled since the All-Star break, hitting .229 with 58 strikeouts in 53 games. He does have seven home runs and four steals over that span, so he hasn’t been giving you nothing, but he has not been worth putting in lineups in most fantasy leagues. Michael Conforto will slide to left field with Jerar Encarnacion in the lineup at designated hitter.

Rosario has filled a short-side platoon role since signing with Cincinnati, so he will get the start against left-hander Chris Sale while Jake Fraley heads to the bench.

The 27-year-old has an 8.68 ERA in 9 1/3 innings out of the Reds bullpen this season. He may not get another chance in 2024.

The 26-year-old has a 5.54 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 13 innings for the Reds this year out of the bullpen. Casey Legumina was optioned in a corresponding move.

The former top prospect in baseball had been on the bench for three straight games after slumping hard over the last month. The Orioles got him back in the lineup on Wednesday, and he went 1-for-2 with a run scored, so they’ll see if he can keep that going on Thursday; however, he has not been producing nearly enough to be in your fantasy lineups.

As has become the norm in Minnesota, most of the lefties will sit with Cleveland starting left-hander Joey Cantillo. However, interestingly, Matt Wallner remains in the starting lineup and batting eighth. Manuel Margot will plat left field in Larnach’s place, and Kyle Farmer will play second base for Edouard Julien. The good news if you roster any of these Twins is that they get matchups against three right-handed pitchers in Boston this weekend.

Rizzo knocked a base hit in the second inning to score Jasson Domínguez for the first run of the game. With things tied up in the tenth inning, he came through for the Yankees again with a double to give New York the lead with what would be the game-winning run.

Turner knocked a double in the second inning, then came up clutch in a big spot for the Mariners in the eighth. With Seattle trailing by one run, he took Clay Holmes deep for a game-tying solo homer. The Mariners eventually fell in the 10th, with Turner striking out to end the game.

Hamilton took the mound in the bottom of the tenth to close out the game with a one-run lead. He gave up a base hit to put runners on the corners before striking out a batter while Julio Rodríguez was picked off at third. Hamilton then struck out the final batter to end the game, securing the win and locking up a playoff spot for the Yankees.
