    Blue Jays selected the contracts of OF Myles Straw, RHP Jacob Barnes and OF Alan Roden from Triple-A Buffalo.
    Both Straw and Barnes will make the Opening Day roster thanks to injuries ahead of them. Barnes may eventually lose his spot to Erik Swanson or Ryan Burr, who were both placed on the IL, and Myles Straw could head back to the minors when Daulton Varsho returns.
  • TB 2nd Baseman #7

    Ha-Seong Kim (calf) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Twins.
    No surprise here with the quick turnaround after Kim was lifted from his Rays debut on Friday with cramping in his right calf. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash downplayed concern regarding the issue while speaking to reporters after the game, so fantasy managers shouldn’t be overly concerned. There’s a strong chance he’s ready for Sunday’s series finale. It’ll be defensive specialist Taylor Walls taking over at shortstop on Saturday afternoon in his absence.
    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.
  • CHC Relief Pitcher #45
    Drew Pomeranz will start on Saturday against the Cardinals.
    Fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate Pomeranz working more than an inning or two as Chicago’s opener in place of an injured Jameson Taillon (calf). However, he’s been phenomenal this season in his first stint in the big leagues since 2021, reeling off 23 1/3 consecutive scoreless frames over 26 appearances.
  • STL Catcher #40
    Willson Contreras is at first base and batting third on Saturday against the Cubs.
    Contreras went 0-for-3 on Friday afternoon following a one-game absence after being hit by a pitch earlier this week on the left hand. It’s an encouraging sign heading into the weekend that he’s in St. Louis’ lineup for the second consecutive game against his former club and isn’t dealing with any lingering swelling or pain.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #44
    Cole Sands will start on Saturday against the Rays.
    It’s going to be a bullpen game for Minnesota on Saturday afternoon at Target Field with Sands drawing the starting assignment. The 27-year-old is unlikely to work more than an inning or two before turning things over to the rest of the Twins’ relief stable.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #45
    Twins recalled RHP Travis Adams to Triple-A St. Paul.
    Adams gets the call to provide Minnesota with a bulk relief option behind opener Cole Sands on Saturday against the Rays. The 25-year-old righty has posted a solid 3.68 ERA and 58/20 K/BB ratio across 63 2/3 innings (19 appearances, five starts) this season at the Triple-A level. He can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats for now.
  • MIN 1st Baseman #13
    Ty France is on the bench for Saturday’s game against the Rays.
    Kody Clemens gets the nod at first base to face Rays righty Taj Bradley on Saturday afternoon at Target Field. France has been scuffling of late, hitting .220 (11-for-50) with one homer over his last 15 games. He’s gone just 3-for-20 at the dish over his past seven contests.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #26
    Matt Chapman (hand) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored on Friday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Sacramento.
    Chapman appears likely to rejoin San Francisco’s lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants after getting five innings under his belt at the hot corner during Friday’s rehab contest. The 32-year-old defensive stalwart has been out since early June recovering from a right hand strain. There should be an official update on his status ahead of Saturday’s contest in Sacramento.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #43
    X-rays came back negative for any fractures on Lance McCullers Jr.'s left foot.
    McCullers told reporters after firing six innings of one-run ball on Friday evening at Dodger Stadium that his left foot “went numb for a little while” after being struck by a line drive from Shohei Ohtani, but added that he managed to avoid serious injury. The 31-year-old should be ready to make his next start on Wednesday against the Guardians.
  • ARI Center Fielder #7
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Corbin Carroll (wrist) is on track to make an imminent return.
    Lovullo declined to say exactly when Carroll will rejoin Arizona’s lineup, but it sounds like it could potentially be at some point this weekend. The 24-year-old has gotten a handful of rehab games under his belt in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League as he works his way back at a remarkably-fast pace from a fractured left wrist.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #31
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) will likely make his next start in the majors.
    Glasnow appears poised to make his next start in the majors after striking out eight and throwing 78 pitches (51 strikes) on Thursday in his final minor league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 31-year-old fantasy ace has been on the shelf since late April working his way back from shoulder issues. He’ll certainly provide a boost for fantasy managers in the second half, assuming he manages to avoid landing back on the injured list.
