  • MIA Relief Pitcher #68

    Darren McCaughan allowed three runs -- two earned -- with four strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Phillies on Saturday.
    A double and a base hit brought a run in to score on McCaughan in the first inning. A sacrifice fly by Kyle Schwarber scored a second run in the second inning. Two more hits brought a run in to score in the fifth, and McCaughan’s day would be done with two outs in the frame, falling one out short of qualifying for the win. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 7.40 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, and a 14/10 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings into a start against the Nationals in Washington on Thursday.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #26

    Matt Chapman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres.
    It’s just a day off for Chapman. The 32-year-old gets a breather with Casey Schmitt getting the start at the hot corner and hitting third against Nick Pivetta and the Padres.
    Scoop up Astros' Javier following return to mound
    Following Cristian Javier's return to the mound, Eric Samulski shares what fantasy managers can expect from the Astros' starter moving forward, including why he can overcome command issues to reemerge as an asset.
  • TEX Right Fielder #53
    Rangers placed OF Adolis García on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain.
    It’s known when García picked up the ankle sprain, but the 32-year-old will be out of action for at least a week-plus, and likely longer. Evan Carter (back) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.
  • TEX Left Fielder #32
    Rangers activated OF Evan Carter from the 10-day injured list.
    Carter missed just-over the minimum 10-day stint while dealing with back spasms. He should be an everyday option — with the occasional day of rest, of course — now that he’s back. The question is if these back issues are going to linger in not just 2025, but beyond.
  • CIN Relief Pitcher #63
    Reds optioned RHP Sam Benschoter to Triple-A Louisville.
    Benschoter is removed from the active roster to make room for Hunter Greene after Greene came off the injured list with a groin strain. Benschoter is nothing more than an up-and-down arm at this stage of his career. There are worse things in life, of course, but there’s no fantasy upside in that.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Reds activated RHP Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list.
    Greene is back as expected to make the start Wednesday against the Phillies. The right-hander was able to work 5 1/3 innings in his last rehab start, so he should be able to work deep enough — assuming he’s effective, of course — to potentially qualify for a win and put up quality fantasy numbers.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #60
    Diamondbacks recalled RHP Casey Kelly from Triple-A Reno.
    Kelly rejoins the Diamondbacks to replace Anthony DeSclafani (thumb) who was placed on the injured list with a thumb contusion. Kelly will be a low-leverage option in the Arizona bullpen while he’s with the club for a second stint.
  • ARI Starting Pitcher #21
    Diamondbacks placed RHP Anthony DeSclafani on the 15-day injured list with a right thumb contusion.
    DeSclafani will miss at least the next two weeks with the thumb injury, and assuming there’s no structural damage, there’s a decent chance he rejoins the D-backs’ pitching staff by the end of August.
  • PIT 2nd Baseman #41
    Pirates recalled INF/OF Ronny Simon from Triple-A Indianapolis.
    Simon is up with Oneil Cruz on the concussion injured list. The 25-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Marlins in August, and will likely work in a reserve role while with Pittsburgh.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Pirates placed OF Oneil Cruz on the 7-day concussion injured list.
    Cruz’s head injury occurred when he collided with Jack Suwinski in the outfield during Tuesday’s game against the Brewers. The 26-year-old won’t be able to return until he clears the protocol. Ronny Simon is up to take his place on the roster.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #45
    Christian Scott (elbow) threw a bullpen last week.
    Scott is making his way back from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, which was performed last September. This bullpen session was the first he’s completed this season, and he is “said to be doing well.” It would be unlikely we see him in a Mets uniform in 2025, but if he continues to progress, he could have a normal offseason heading into the 2026 season.
