Zebby’s own error, plus the first two walks he’s given up as a major leaguer, led to the three unearned runs. The good news is that he wasn’t hit very hard while surrendering six total bases on four hits. Still, this wasn’t a particularly encouraging showing from the 24-year-old. If he fails to bounce back Sunday against the Cardinals, he’ll be droppable in mixed leagues.

McArthur left Monday night’s game against the Tigers with right elbow tightness. He appeared to be injured on a play where he covered first base and left after Salvador Perez called for the training staff during the next at-bat. It’s unclear how severe the injury might be. McArthur will miss the rest of the regular season and potentially the playoffs.

Greene threw 20 pitches each in the first two innings, and another 15 in the third. The right-hander told reporters he felt “great” after the outing. Greene has a chance to make a start — maybe two depending on when he returns — with Cincinnati before the year ends, but obviously much of that will be determined by how he feels in the coming days.

Urías is working his way back from a sprained ankle that has sidelined the 30-year-old since the start of September. It sounds like he’s not far away from being activated, and he likely will get some starts around the infield over the final week-plus when he does get back on the field.

Fitzgerald told reporters that his back has “improved” and that he’ll be good to go for the beginning of a three-game set against the Orioles on Tuesday. Fitzgerald has been one of the better breakout stories of the year, and should be a regular fixture in San Francisco lineups to begin 2025, as well.

Morel missed two games while dealing with the Achilles issue, but the 25-year-old is ready to role against Nick Pivetta and the Boston pitching staff.

Alcantara is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery that he underwent last October. The 29-year-old told reporters late in August that his preference would be to be able to pitch in a game this year, and while that can’t completely be ruled out, it’s all but assured he’ll make his return to the bump in 2025.

Kennedy is booted off the active roster with Edmundo Sosa activated off of the 10-day injured list.

Sosa missed just a minimum stint on the injured list while he was recovering from back spasms. He’ll return to his utility role with Buddy Kennedy optioned back to Triple-A.

This makes five straight games that Kwan won’t be in the lineup for. The 27-year-old is being called day-to-day, but fantasy managers should be prepared to not have Kwan back for a bit. Angel Martinez is starting in left field and leading off while Kwan recovers.

Robertson has now been claimed off waivers twice in 2024, as the Angels had claimed him off waivers from the Cardinals. The burly reliever will add to the pitching depth of the Blue Jays. A corresponding transaction will be necessary, as the Blue Jays have a full 40-man roster.
