  • ATL 2nd Baseman #6

    Braves acquired INF/OF Cavan Biggio from the Giants for cash considerations.
    Biggio was signed by the Giants after he was designated for assignment and refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 29-year-old will be able to potentially help Atlanta in the regular season, but Atlanta will need to do some finagling to get him on a playoff roster since he wasn’t in the organization before August 31. There’s no fantasy upside here even if Biggio were to play every game.
  • SD Starting Pitcher #84

    The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports the Padres are listening to offers on Dylan Cease with the Yankees, Mets, Cubs and Red Sox among teams believed to have checked in.
    It would likely require a significant haul to extract Cease from San Diego since they figure to be buyers, not sellers, at the upcoming deadline. However, it’s theoretically possible they decide to move on from the 29-year-old righty since he’ll be a free agent at the conclusion of next season. Basically every major market club has put in a call to the Padres to gauge their interest and asking price. The trade deadline is just over one week away.
    Phillies' Painter unlikely to offer fantasy boost
    James Schiano evaluates Andrew Painter's potential path to the Phillies rotation, highlighting several possible obstacles and circumstances that could delay his arrival and obscure his fantasy relevance.
  • ATH Shortstop #6
    Athletics designated INF Logan Davidson for assignment.
    Davidson was awful in a short stint with the A’s, and the former first-round pick is booted off the 40-man roster to clear room for Ben Bowden on the 40-man roster. If Davidson goes unclaimed, he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Las Vegas.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #36
    Athletics optioned LHP Hogan Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas.
    Harris is booted from the active roster after Ben Bowden’s contract was selected from Triple-A. The 28-year-old southpaw has been a part of the A’s bullpen since the end of April, but he’s struggled as of late, and will look to get things right in the Pacific Coast League.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #61
    Athletics selected the contract of LHP Ben Bowden from Triple-A Las Vegas.
    Bowden will have a chance to make his first appearance with the A’s after he signed a minor-league contract with the club back in December. The 30-year-old will likely be nothing more than middle-inning depth in this stint.
  • BOS 3rd Baseman #2
    Alex Bregman is not in the starting lineup for the Red Sox against the Phillies on Wednesday.
    Bregman is getting a day of maintenance against Jesus Luzardo and the Philadelphia bullpen. He’ll sit with Marcelo Mayer getting the start at the hot corner and hitting ninth.
  • BAL Catcher #98
    Orioles transferred C Maverick Handley from the 7-day concussion list to the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain.
    Handley will remain on the injured list, but it’ll be his wrist rather than a concussion that keeps him from returning to the lineup. The 27-year-old backstop should be back near the start of August if there’s no setbacks in his rehabilitation.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #63
    Orioles optioned OF Brandon Young to Triple-A Norfolk.
    Young gets the boot after falling to 0-5 on the season with a 7.34 ERA with another ineffective start Tuesday against the Guardians. Zach Eflin was reinstated off the 15-day injured list to make a start Wednesday in a corresponding move.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #24
    Orioles activated RHP Zach Eflin from the 15-day injured list.
    Eflin is up to make a start after missing almost a month with discomfort in his lower back. The right-hander has disappointed with a 5.95 ERA, but his previous success makes him worthy of roster consideration for those looking for help in pitching categories.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #26
    Matt Chapman hit a two-run homer and scored twice in a win over Atlanta on Wednesday.
    Chapman extended the Giants’ lead to 3-0 after hitting a two-run blast off Spencer Strider in the fifth. He’s homered 14 times in 2025, and it’s nice to see he’s gone deep twice in the past four games after not homering at all in July prior to those roundtrippers.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #16
    Rafael Devers homered twice to help the Giants to a 9-3 win over Atlanta on Wednesday.
    Devers has his first two-homer game as a member of the Giants, and probably not the last. He hit a solo homer in the fifth of Spencer Strider, and an inning later he swatted a three-run shot off Dylan Todd. The 28-year-old has really picked things up since the All-Star break with three straight multi-hit games, and he should be an excellent source of offense over the final two months of the 2025 campaign.
