    The Dodgers announced that former Rangers’ manager Chris Woodward will serve as their first base coach for the 2025 season.
    Woodward previously functioned as the team’s third base coach from 2016-2018 and he has been in the organization for the past couple of years as a senior advisor on the player development side. There was a vacancy at the position after Clayton McCullough left to become the new manager of the Miami Marlins.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #24

    Diamondbacks selected the contract of LHP Kyle Backhus from Triple-A Reno.
    Backhus receives his first call up to the big leagues after posting a strong 2.22 ERA and 36/10 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings (24 appearances) this season for Triple-A Reno. The 27-year-old southpaw figures to operate in middle relief for Arizona out of low-leverage spots.
    Fantasy impact of Mets SS Lindor breaking his toe
    James Schiano shares the latest news regarding star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who is day-to-day after breaking his toe, also explaining how the injury will affect Luisangel Acuña, Ronny Mauricio and fantasy managers.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #68
    Braves optioned LHP Austin Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Cox heads back to the minors to make room for veteran reliever José Ruiz, who was claimed off waivers from the Phillies earlier this weekend. The 28-year-old southpaw didn’t end up making an appearance for Atlanta during his one-game stint with the club.
  • ARI Catcher #66
    Diamondbacks designated C Aramis Garcia for assignment.
    Garcia’s stint with Arizona winds up lasting roughly 24 hours as he entered Saturday’s contest against the Reds as a defensive replacement. The 32-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency, unless he decides to stick around at Triple-A Reno.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #45
    Zack Wheeler will be activated from the paternity list to start Monday’s series opener against the Cubs.
    It’s official. Rookie sensation Mick Abel and struggling southpaw Jesús Luzardo will take the ball on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, to close out a three-game series against the Cubs. Wheeler has been away from the club on paternity leave over the past few days, but was able to throw a bullpen session on Sunday, and is good to go for Monday’s opener in Philadelphia.
  • ARI Center Fielder #7
    Corbin Carroll is back in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Reds.
    Carroll is back in right field and leading off Sunday afternoon following a two-game break. The 24-year-old franchise cornerstone has put together a phenomenal year so far, posting a robust .904 OPS with 18 homers, 39 RBI and 10 steals through 63 games.
  • ARI Catcher #14
    Gabriel Moreno (hand) remains out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Reds.
    Moreno is getting some extra time off to rest and recover after suffering a right hand contusion during Friday’s contest. It’s an encouraging sign heading into next week that Arizona has removed emergency catcher Aramis Garcia from the active roster already. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Jose Herrera handling the catching duties on Sunday afternoon in his place.
  • WSH Shortstop #5
    CJ Abrams is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Rangers.
    Abrams will head to the bench for a rare day off with lefty Jacob Latz kicking off a bullpen game for the Rangers. The 24-year-old shortstop could use a break since he’s hitting .136 (8-for-59) with zero homers and two steals over his last 15 games. It’ll be Nasim Nuñez getting an opportunity at shortstop on Sunday afternoon in his place.
  • ATH Catcher #38
    Athletics acquired C Austin Wynns from the Reds for cash considerations.
    Wynns helps shore up the Athletics’ glaring hole at catcher after losing starter Shea Langeliers to an oblique strain earlier this week. The 34-year-old journeyman has been swinging a hot bat this season, hitting .400 (16-for-40) with three homers and 11 RBI across 18 games this season in the big leagues. He’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes, but should get a chance to play regularly while Langeliers is on the shelf.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #39
    Athletics designated RHP Carlos Duran for assignment.
    Duran has been booted from the Athletics’ 40-man roster to make room for journeyman catcher Austin Wynns. The 23-year-old righty made his major-league debut back on May 22 before being shipped back to the minors. He was acquired from the Dodgers in the Esteury Ruiz trade back in early April.
  • HOU 2nd Baseman #27
    Jose Altuve is not in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Guardians.
    It appears to be a routine off day for Altuve, who has started pretty much every game for Houston over the last three weeks. The 35-year-old veteran has also gone deep five times in his last 15 games. It’ll be top prospect Jacob Melton, who is 3-for-15 with one steal in six games since being called up from Triple-A Sugar Land, taking over in left field on Sunday afternoon in his place.
