  • CWS Starting Pitcher #48

    Jonathan Cannon was shelled for six runs in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.
    Cannon did strike out six, but he allowed seven hits — two of them homers — and walked three in another unimpressive outing for the 24-year-old. The White Sox have now lost eight straight and might be bad at baseball again. Cannon shouldn’t be started against the Athletics on Wednesday.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #95

    Orioles sent RHP Houston Roth outright to Triple-A Norfolk.
    Roth didn’t get claimed after being designated for assignment by the Orioles on Monday. The 27-year-old has pitched well in the minors, but his lack of velocity makes him more organizational depth than future high-leverage reliever.
    Scoop up Astros' Javier following return to mound
    Following Cristian Javier's return to the mound, Eric Samulski shares what fantasy managers can expect from the Astros' starter moving forward, including why he can overcome command issues to reemerge as an asset.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #26
    Matt Chapman is not in the lineup Wednesday will dealing with soreness in his right hand.
    Chapman missed time in 2025 with a right-hand injury, so it’s not surprising that some soreness has built up. This sounds very precautionary, so Chapman should be back in the lineup in the coming days.
  • MIL 2nd Baseman #2
    Brice Turang (finger) is hitting sixth and playing second base against the Pirates on Wednesday.
    Turang was removed from Tuesday’s blowout win over the Pirates with a sore pinky, but it was purely precautionary as evidence by his return to the lineup less than 24 hours later.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #26
    Matt Chapman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres.
    It’s just a day off for Chapman. The 32-year-old gets a breather with Casey Schmitt getting the start at the hot corner and hitting third against Nick Pivetta and the Padres.
  • TEX Right Fielder #53
    Rangers placed OF Adolis García on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain.
    It’s known when García picked up the ankle sprain, but the 32-year-old will be out of action for at least a week-plus, and likely longer. Evan Carter (back) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.
  • TEX Left Fielder #32
    Rangers activated OF Evan Carter from the 10-day injured list.
    Carter missed just-over the minimum 10-day stint while dealing with back spasms. He should be an everyday option — with the occasional day of rest, of course — now that he’s back. The question is if these back issues are going to linger in not just 2025, but beyond.
  • CIN Relief Pitcher #63
    Reds optioned RHP Sam Benschoter to Triple-A Louisville.
    Benschoter is removed from the active roster to make room for Hunter Greene after Greene came off the injured list with a groin strain. Benschoter is nothing more than an up-and-down arm at this stage of his career. There are worse things in life, of course, but there’s no fantasy upside in that.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #21
    Reds activated RHP Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list.
    Greene is back as expected to make the start Wednesday against the Phillies. The right-hander was able to work 5 1/3 innings in his last rehab start, so he should be able to work deep enough — assuming he’s effective, of course — to potentially qualify for a win and put up quality fantasy numbers.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #60
    Diamondbacks recalled RHP Casey Kelly from Triple-A Reno.
    Kelly rejoins the Diamondbacks to replace Anthony DeSclafani (thumb) who was placed on the injured list with a thumb contusion. Kelly will be a low-leverage option in the Arizona bullpen while he’s with the club for a second stint.
  • ARI Starting Pitcher #21
    Diamondbacks placed RHP Anthony DeSclafani on the 15-day injured list with a right thumb contusion.
    DeSclafani will miss at least the next two weeks with the thumb injury, and assuming there’s no structural damage, there’s a decent chance he rejoins the D-backs’ pitching staff by the end of August.
