  • BAL Relief Pitcher #56

    Seranthony Domínguez allowed a solo homer but was able to pick up a save against the Rockies on Friday.
    Domínguez gave up a long homer to Brendan Rodgers in the bottom of the ninth, but it came with the Orioles leading by three runs, so it didn’t change much other than Domínguez’s ERA. That did jump up to 4.24, but he was able to give fantasy managers a couple of strikeouts while procuring his eighth save of the year.
  • STL Starting Pitcher #36

    Michael McGreevy allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Wednesday.
    McGreevy struck out two and didn’t walk a batter while throwing 48 of his 74 pitches for strikes. He allowed only one extra base hit, a home run to Mickey Moniak, but he posted just a 14 percent whiff rate and 24 percent CSW is a relatively underwhelming start. McGreevy simply doesn’t miss enough bats to provide a ceiling that would entice fantasy managers. He could be considered a high-floor streamer next week against the Marlins, but it’s a bit of a risk.
    What's next for Alonso after making Mets history?
    With Pete Alonso now alone atop the Mets' all-time home run leaderboard, Eric Samulski explores what could be next for the slugging first basemen and the only organization he's ever known.
  • STL Relief Pitcher #59
    JoJo Romero allowed two runs on two hits in one inning while blowing a save against the Rockies on Wednesday.
    Romero issued a leadoff walk in a good at-bat by rookie Kyle Karros. He then struck out pinch-hitter Brenton Doyle before another pinch-hitter, Hunter Goodman, crushed a go-ahead home run to center field. Romero wound up striking out three in the inning, but the damage was done. He’s opened up a chance for Riley O’Brien, who threw a scoreless eighth innings, to get more save chances.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #53
    Brandon Woodruff threw four shutout innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Wednesday.
    Woodruff struck out four and walked two while throwing 65 of his 40 pitches for strikes. The Brewers had a 6-0 lead when Woodruff was removed from the game, so perhaps they were just being cautious with him, given how much time he’s missed over the last two years. It’s a situation to monitor.
  • DET Relief Pitcher #19
    Will Vest threw a scoreless ninth inning to secure a save in a 1-0 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
    Kyle Finnegan got the eighth inning against the 5-6-7 hitters for the White Sox and allowed one baserunner, so Vest was tasked with getting the 9-1-2 hitters out and did so with no issue. He struck out one and didn’t allow a single baserunner in securing his 18th save. This feels like a pure committee, but both Vest and Finnegan should retain fantasy value.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #52
    Troy Melton threw five shutout innings while allowing just one hit and striking out six in a win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
    Melton threw 43 of his 56 pitches for strikes and could have gone deeper in the game if he hadn’t been used as a bulk reliever in his most recent outings. The 24-year-old posted a 23 percent whiff rate but a 34 percent CSW as he pounded the zone with both his four-seamer and sinker. Melton doesn’t yet have a spot in the Tigers’ rotation, but it might make sense for them to find a way to make that happen.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #64
    Shane Smith threw five shutout innings while allowing two hits in a no-decision against the Tigers on Wednesday.
    Smith struck out five and walked three, and has looked good in his last two starts after struggling in his first off the IL. The 25-year-old posted a strong 34 percent whiff rate and 29 percent CSW with his changeup eating up Tigers hitters. The All-Star now has a 4.01 ERA on the season and lines up to start against the Braves next week, which could be a decent streaming option in deeper formats.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #63
    Braves signed RHP Anderson Pilar to a minor league contract.
    You might remember Pilar with the Braves as a Rule 5 pick this spring. He gave up nine runs in 5 2/3 innings and then was returned to the Marlins in mid-March. Miami, though, released him earlier this week, and now the Braves can take another look at him without being forced to roster him. The 27-year-old had a 4.26 ERA and a 50/13 K/BB in 44 1/3 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville this season.
  • TOR Right Fielder #4
    George Springer has been cleared to resume playing and could serve as a DH for Triple-A Buffalo as soon as Thursday.
    Springer has been on the seven-day concussion IL since Aug. 1. He probably won’t play more than a game or two in the minors if he’s feeling good, so it’s possible he’ll be activated this weekend.
  • HOU Relief Pitcher #71
    Josh Hader is seeking a second opinion on his shoulder strain and won’t be back once his 15 days are up, manager Joe Espada said.
    Espada wouldn’t reveal what the first opinion revealed, but it probably wasn’t good news. Bryan Abreu just might be a top-10 fantasy closer for the rest of the year.
  • PIT Catcher #5
    Endy Rodríguez underwent ulnar nerve transposition surgery on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the season.
    It’s basically a second straight lost year for Rodríguez, who underwent Tommy John surgery last summer. He played in just 18 games for the Pirates, hitting .173/.246/.250 in 57 plate appearances. The good news for him is that Joey Bart has regressed and Henry Davis still hasn’t done anything to establish himself. Unless the Pirates target an upgrade from the current group, Rodríguez should have a chance to compete for the starting job next spring.
