  • PHI Relief Pitcher #46

    Jose Alvarado allowed a run on three hits, but he still picked up a save Thursday against the Rockies.
    Interestingly enough, Jordan Romano worked the eighth inning of Thursday’s contest, and he worked a scoreless frame with one strikeout. Alvarado was handed a three-run lead, but he did make it interesting by allowing three hits and a walk; one of those hits being an RBI single. He also struck out three, so the stuff was fine even when the command wasn’t. Alvarado could see more save chances, but Romano remains the favorite to get the majority of those opportunities.
  • STL 3rd Baseman #28

    Nolan Arenado (shoulder) is hitting fifth and playing third base against the Nationals on Wednesday.
    Arenado missed three games while dealing with a right shoulder impingement. There’s a chance he could see some maintenance games between now and the All-Star break, but for now, he’s feeling well enough to play and that’s obviously a positive development. Nolan Gorman gets a breather with Arenado back in the fold.
    Brewers' Hoskins lands on IL with sprained thumb
    Eric Samulski evaluates why Andrew Vaughn should be added in deeper fantasy leagues after the Milwaukee Brewers placed slugger Rhys Hoskins on the 10-day IL with a sprained thumb.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Reds manager Terry Francona told reporters that Hunter Greene (groin) is moving his rehab assignment to the Reds’ spring training facility in Goodyear, Arizona.
    Greene suffered a setback in his rehab from the groin injury he suffered back in June, and while he was able to throw a bullpen Tuesday, there’s still discomfort. Francona said that there is currently no “roadmap” for Greene’s recovery nor his timetable, so fantasy managers should be prepared to be without Greene for the long haul.
  • NYY Center Fielder #12
    Trent Grisham is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s battle against the Mariners.
    Grisham will sit for the second consecutive game against Seattle, with Jasson Dominguez playing in his absence against Logan Evans and the Seattle bullpen.
  • TB 2nd Baseman #8
    Brandon Lowe (side) is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s tilt against the Tigers.
    Lowe will miss his third straight game while dealing with discomfort in his side. The 31-year-old is still considered day-to-day, but Taylor Walls will get another start at the keystone and hit eighth while Lowe recovers.
  • BOS Relief Pitcher #68
    Red Sox transferred RHP Nick Burdi from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
    Burdi is now off the 40-man roster, and the Red Sox needed that room to clear a spot for Masataka Yoshida (shoulder). Burdi is eligible to come off the injured list from his foot bruise on August 3.
  • BAL Catcher #35
    Adley Rutschman told reporters Wednesday that he’s making progress from his strained oblique, but there’s no timetable for a return.
    Rutschman has been able to play catch and due some running and has played catch, but hasn’t progressed further than that. The 27-year-old will assuredly be back through the All-Star break, and then there’s a chance — but no guarantee — he could be back behind the plate by the end of July.
  • BOS Left Fielder #7
    Red Sox activated OF Masataka Yoshida off the 60-day injured list.
    Yoshida will finally make his season debut after missing the first three-plus months of the season due to offseason shoulder surgery. The 31-year-old is expected to be the designated hitter for most of his appearances, but also could see time at first base and in the corner outfield. He’s not an elite fantasy option, but there’s enough here for him to be a helper in a few categories for those in need.Ceddanne Rafaela will get Wednesday off with Yoshida back.
  • BOS 3rd Baseman #2
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Wednesday that he believes there’s a “really good chance” that Alex Bregman (quad) could play before the All-Star break.
    Bregman isn’t going to play in the All-Star game because of his quad injury, but there’s a chance we see him in a regular season bout before that break. The 31-year-old won’t be rushed back, but assuming there’s no setback, there’s reason to believe he’s back in the lineup (relatively) soon.
  • SEA Center Fielder #26
    Mariners sent OF Jacob Hurtubise outright to Triple-A Tacoma.
    Hurtubise will remain in the organization after being removed from the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old will be a depth piece in whatever organization he plays in.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #43
    Marlins designated RHP Nick Nastrini for assignment.
    Nastrini was claimed off waivers on July 1, and hits the waiver wire a little over a week later. A former top prospect, Nastrini could see interest again on the wire, but if not he’ll report back to Triple-A Jacksonville.
