    Mets signed RHP Luis Ortiz to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
    Ortiz is expected to miss most or all of the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last July. The 29-year-old will get a chance to rehab with the Mets, and if things go well, could be back with the club in 2026 as a bullpen option.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Nathan Eovaldi (back) told reporters he’s feeling good physically and should be able to start without any limitations on Wednesday against the Athletics.
    Barring a last-minute development, which can’t be ruled out when it comes to back issues, Eovaldi should take the ball for Wednesday’s series finale at Globe Life Field. The 35-year-old veteran was scratched from Sunday’s outing against the Tigers with back tightness, but it doesn’t appear to be a concern moving forward.
    Dodgers relievers to add following Scott's injury
    With the Dodgers "all but a lock" to add a reliever before the trade deadline following Tanner Scott's injury, Eric Samulski assesses which arms could be in line for precious save opportunities.
  • SD Relief Pitcher #32
    Padres recalled RHP Stephen Kolek from Triple-A El Paso.
    Kolek draws the starting assignment for Tuesday’s showdown against the Marlins at pitcher-friendly loanDepot park. It’s a decent matchup for the 28-year-old righty, but he’s not a recommended streaming option for fantasy managers outside of deeper NL-only formats. He’s posted a pedestrian 4.24 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49/22 K/BB ratio across 68 innings (12 starts) this season for the Padres.
  • SD Starting Pitcher #68
    Padres recalled LHP Kyle Hart from Triple-A El Paso.
    Hart provides the Padres with some additional long relief depth behind starter Stephen Kolek for Tuesday’s contest against the Marlins. The 32-year-old lefty has struggled to an inflated 5.83 ERA across 29 1/3 innings (seven appearances, six starts) this season in his stateside return. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
  • SD Relief Pitcher #78
    Padres optioned RHP Bryan Hoeing to Triple-A El Paso.
    Hoeing returns to the minors after compiling a solid 3.38 ERA across eight innings (seven appearances) for San Diego since returning from the injured list back in late June. The 28-year-old righty figures to return at some point in August.
  • SD Relief Pitcher #37
    Padres optioned RHP Alek Jacob to Triple-A El Paso.
    Jacob returns to the minors with San Diego adding some extra length to their relief corps. The 27-year-old righty has posted a bloated 6.39 ERA across 25 1/3 innings (23 appearances) this season at the big-league level.
  • NYY Shortstop #11
    Anthony Volpe has been dropped to ninth in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays.
    Volpe has been dropped to the bottom of Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s lineup card amid a disastrous .142 (15-for-106) stretch over his last 30 games, which includes just four homers and three steals during that span. The 24-year-old shortstop has 12 homers and 10 steals through 99 games this season, but he’s underwhelmed relative to fantasy managers’ lofty expectations.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #44
    Royals selected the contract of LHP Rich Hill from Triple-A Omaha.
    Hill will take the ball on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field against the Cubs where his kicked off his big-league career back in 2005. The 45-year-old southpaw is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes, but he’s a remarkable story as he embarks on his 21st campaign in the majors.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #54
    Royals optioned RHP Andrew Hoffmann to Triple-A Omaha.
    Hoffman returns to the minors to make room for veteran lefty Rich Hill on Kansas City’s active roster. The 25-year-old righty has made three relief appearances this season in the big leagues.
  • KC Right Fielder #27
    Royals designated OF Tyler Gentry for assignment.
    Gentry has been removed from Kansas City’s 40-man roster to make room for veteran southpaw Rich Hill. The 26-year-old hasn’t appeared in the majors this season and figures to pass through waivers unclaimed.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #16
    Rafael Devers is making his first career start at first base on Tuesday against the Braves.
    It’s his first appearance in the field this season. Devers was dealing with back tightness, delaying his first base debut, and he’s hit just .219/.333/.333 with two homers in 29 games with the Giants. With Devers at first, Wilmer Flores is DHing tonight and Dominic Smith is on the bench. One imagines Flores will be in line for more playing time as long as Devers takes well to first.
