    Cardinals non-tendered RHP Adam Kloffenstein.
    Kloffenstein appears to be the Cardinals’ only non-tender, as all of their arbitration-eligible players were safe. Kloffenstein is an obvious candidate to be re-signed to a minor league deal. The 24-year-old pitched one scoreless inning in his major league debut for the Cardinals last season. He had a 4.74 ERA in 17 starts for Triple-A Memphis.

    Kumar Rocker was fortunate to not pick up a decision while allowing six runs over 4 1/3 innings against the Angels on Wednesday.
    Rocker allowed three homers over 4 1/3 innings, and he struck out a pair with one walk. He was fortunate that his pitching opponent, Kyle Hendricks, was just as bad when he was on the mound, so it’s a no-decision despite the scuffles. Rocker still has long-term upside, but just isn’t quite good enough to justify as a fantasy option at this stage of his career.
    Smoltz talks transition to golf from baseball
    Eight-time MLB All-Star John Smoltz sits down with Dan Patrick to discuss his transition from the mound to the golf course, his relationship with social media, and the changing usage of pitchers in the league.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #28
    Kyle Hendricks allowed five runs — four earned — over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision Wednesday versus the Rangers.
    Hendricks was fortunately given plenty of run support so he doesn’t pick up what would’ve been a deserved loss. His struggles Wednesday see his first-half end with an ERA of 4.88 and a K/BB of 65/24 over 96 innings. It probably goes without saying, but he remains without a semblance of fantasy value against all but the absolute worst lineups. Even then you should scour for other options.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #74
    Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless inning to get a save against the Rangers on Wednesday.
    Jansen has his first save of July with the scoreless frame. The 37-year-old had a horrible month of May, but outside of that has been a solid closing option with 16 saves and a 3.48 ERA.
  • LAA Center Fielder #27
    Mike Trout hit a pair of homers while helping the Angels to an 11-8 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.
    Trout tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run homer in the third, and he gave the Halos a 6-5 lead in the fifth with his second troundtripper. The 33-year-old is up to 16 homers on the season, and that solid number is even more solid when considering he missed close to a month with injury. When Trout is on the field, he remains one of the better power threats in baseball. The other skills don’t appear to be at that same level, but the pop isn’t going anywhere.
  • TEX 2nd Baseman #2
    Marcus Semien hit a two-run homer and drove in four runs in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
    Semien hit a two-run homer to give the Rangers’ an 8-6 lead. The 34-year-old also drove in runs on a sacrifice fly and a fielder’s choice. Semien had been awful in July prior to Wednesday’s showing with a .148 average and .296 slugging percentage, so the hope is this is the start of a hot run for a player who has had plenty in his career.
  • ATL 3rd Baseman #27
    Austin Riley hit a two-run homer in a blowout win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
  • ATL Catcher #30
    Drake Baldwin hit a three-run homer to help Atlanta to a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
  • ATL Right Fielder #13
    Ronald Acuña Jr. homered twice to help Atlanta to a 9-2 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #55
    Bryce Elder worked 6 2/3 innings while allowing two runs to get a win Wednesday over the Athletics.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #28
    Mitch Spence allowed eight runs and five homers over six innings in a loss to Atlanta on Wednesday.
