  • TOR 1st Baseman #27

    Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports that the Blue Jays have tendered contracts to all of their remaining arbitration-eligible players on Friday.
    The club did not tender a contract to right-handers Jordan Romano or Dillon Tate and reached an agreement to avoid arbitration with right-hander Erik Swanson. That leaves Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Alek Manoah, Zach Pop and Ernie Clement as players who were tendered contracts. The only real surprise among the group is Pop, who could have (should have?) been a non-tender candidate after struggling to a 5.59 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and just a 33/19 K/BB ratio across his 48 1/3 innings of work.
  • SEA 3rd Baseman #9

    Ben Williamson hit an RBI double to give the Mariners a win over the Pirates on Saturday.
    Williamson smashed a double to right-center with two outs to score Jorge Polanco and give Seattle a 1-0 lead. It’d be the last run for either team. Williamson has helped the Mariners immensely with the glove and his .256 average isn’t horrible, but there’s just no power in his bat as seen in his .318 slugging percentage.
    Hold Muncy if placed on injured list
    Eric Samulski advises fantasy managers to "hold" Max Muncy if placed on the injured list, who has produced in a big way since the beginning of May, and discusses the outlook for Dodgers' call-up Esteury Ruiz.
  • SEA Relief Pitcher #75
    Andrés Muñoz held the Pirates scoreless and struck out two to pick up a save Saturday.
    Muñoz was filthy, as he threw 9-of-10 pitches for strikes and generated five swings and misses in that short timeframe. There have been some occasional bumps in the road, but occasional is the key term as seen in his 1.07 ERA in 2025. There simply aren’t many closers in the sport than Muñoz.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #53
    Mike Burrows worked five innings and struck out six while not allowing a run to the Mariners on Saturday, but he didn’t pick up a decision.
    Burrows did walk four, but he was able to escape his jams. What he wasn’t able to escape was Pittsburgh putting up a goose egg, so his impressive start comes without a win. Still, this was a positive development that follows an impressive — but short — outing against the Mets, and it helps lower his ERA to 3.63. Intriguing. Burrows will be back on the bump Friday against the Twins.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #58
    Luis Castillo held the Pirates to two hits over seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts to lead the Mariners to 1-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
    A brilliant outing for Castillo in a start where he received just a single run of support. Both hits allowed were singles by Spencer Horwitz, and he didn’t issue a single walk. He’s given up just one run over his last 13 innings, and his ERA is now a shiny 3.31 for his trouble. Castillo’s final start before the break comes against the Tigers on Friday.
  • COL Center Fielder #2
    Tyler Freeman went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a blowout loss to the White Sox on Saturday.
    Because he plays for the worst team in baseball, Freeman hasn’t gotten enough attention for how good he’s been in his first year with the Rockies. The 26-year-old has his second three-hit game in the month of July, and is now slashing .338/.422/.456. He’s also added 12 stolen bases, so the only thing to complain about here is the lack of power. If he keeps hitting at a semblance of this average, it won’t matter as much.
  • CWS Shortstop #50
    Lenyn Sosa homered and drove in four runs in a blowout win for the White Sox over the Rockies on Saturday.
    Sosa ambushed a German Márquez pitch in the second inning to give the White Sox a 5-2 lead with a runner on. He singled in two in the eighth as well to up that lead to 8-2, and it gives him 27 RBI to go with seven homers. Sosa is slashing .275/.294/.419 on the campaign, but doesn’t get enough help — or steal enough bases — to be a must-roster player in leagues.
  • CWS Shortstop #12
    Colson Montgomery tripled and went 3-for-5 to help the White Sox to a 10-3 rout of the Rockies on Saturday.
    Montgomery went hitless in his MLB debut Friday, but his first hit in the majors was a triple, and he added a pair of singles for a three-knock night. Montgomery was once considered one of the upper-echelon prospects in baseball, but hasn’t played up to that level in a while. Considering he’s only 23, there’s time for him to find that form, but fantasy managers should remain skeptical for now.
  • COL Starting Pitcher #48
    Germán Márquez allowed 11 hits and six runs over six innings to pick up a loss to the White Sox on Saturday.
    Oh, right. That Germán Márquez. After pitching solidly in his last four starts, Márquez was awful against Chicago, and he’s now 3-10 on the season with an abhorrent 5.84 ERA to go with that record. He should be nowhere near fantasy lineups when he faces the Reds in Cincinnati on Friday.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #48
    Jonathan Cannon allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings to get a win Saturday over the Rockies.
    Cannon was not exactly dominant as he allowed eight hits and only picked up one strikeout against two walks, but effective nonetheless while picking up his third win. This was his second start since coming off the injured list, and it’s good to see him get into the sixth inning after going just three against the Giants last week. His final start before the break will come Thursday against the Guardians.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #59
    Framber Valdez surrendered four runs over six innings Saturday in a victory over the Dodgers.
    Valdez gave up a solo homer in the first, another run in the second and then a two-run homer in the fourth, but he held the line from there and moved into a tie for the major league lead with 10 wins this season. That’s quite an accomplishment, given that he was 1-4 through seven starts. He’s 9-0 in his last 11 outings. Valdez will finish off the first half Friday against the Rangers.
