    Daulton Varsho (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo.
    Varsho is expected to play a handful of games at the Triple-A level over the next few days and could potentially be activated to make his season debut this upcoming weekend. The 28-year-old center fielder has been on the shelf since Opening Day continuing his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #49

    Angels selected the contract of RHP Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Salt Lake.
    Fulmer rejoins Los Angeles’ relief mix ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Rangers after latching on with the club earlier this month. The 31-year-old righty made a career-high 37 appearances (eight starts) last season for the Angels. He’ll operate in a versatile swingman-type role out of the bullpen.
    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.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #66
    Angels optioned LHP Sam Aldegheri to Double-A Rocket City.
    Aldegheri, one of the better pitching prospects in Los Angeles’ system, was hung out to dry in mop-up duty during Tuesday’s blowout loss at the hands of the division-rival Rangers as the Angels continue to be one of the more bewildering organizations in the sport. The 23-year-old southpaw will head back to the minors to continue his development.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #60
    Angels transferred RHP Hunter Strickland to the 60-day injured list.
    The procedural move opens up a spot on Los Angeles’ 40-man roster for reliever Carson Fulmer. The 36-year-old veteran hit the shelf earlier this week with right shoulder inflammation and will be sidelined into early September. There’s a strong chance his season is over.
  • ATH Left Fielder #22
    Athletics activated INF/OF Miguel Andujar from the 10-day injured list.
    Andujar returns to the Athletics’ outfield mix with top prospect Colby Thomas heading back to the minors prior to Wednesday’s showdown against Atlanta. The 30-year-old wound up missing five weeks recovering from a right oblique strain.
  • ATH Right Fielder #32
    Athletics optioned OF Colby Thomas to Triple-A Las Vegas.
    Thomas started just two of seven games for the Athletics after being called up last week. He went 1-for-11 with six strikeouts during his first taste of the majors. The 24-year-old’s power/speed combination is going to make him an impact fantasy contributor at some point down the line, but there simply isn’t a spot for him at the highest level right this second.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #19
    Wednesday’s game between the Mets and Orioles has been postponed due to inclement weather.
    It’ll be made up on Thursday as a doubleheader. Wednesday’s original starting pitchers — David Peterson and Tomoyuki Sugano — will presumably take the ball at some point during the twin bill at Camden Yards.
  • CWS Catcher #7
    Edgar Quero doubled twice and was hit by a pitch Wednesday as the White Sox bested the Jays 2-1, snapping their 10-game winning streak.
    Both runs came in the fourth, when Quero doubled in Austin Slater and then came around to score on a Lenyn Sosa single. Quero was making just his fifth start in the White Sox’s last 13 games, as Kyle Teel has overtaken him on the depth chart. Unfortunately, the team has quit on the tactic of employing both catchers at the same time; Quero last DH’d on June 23, and Teel hasn’t done so since June 14.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #57
    Adrian Houser limited the Blue Jays to one run through seven innings for his fifth victory Wednesday.
    Houser settled for two strikeouts and five missed swings in the 96-pitch outing, but he kept the ball on the ground and allowed just one extra-base hit, a Will Wagner double. Houser moved to 5-2 and the White Sox are 6-3 in his starts, compared to 25-59 the rest of the time. If he’s still with the team, he’ll probably start the first game after the break in Pittsburgh.
  • CWS Relief Pitcher #49
    Jordan Leasure recorded his second save with a scoreless ninth Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
    Grant Taylor set him up with a scoreless eighth against the top of the Jays order. Leasure then retired Addison Barger, Will Wagner and Myles Straw, with an Alejandro Kirk single mixed in. Leasure got the call in a one-run game even though he’d allowed single runs in six of his previous 11 appearances. We wouldn’t suggest picking him up in mixed leagues.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #56
    Eric Lauer allowed two runs over four innings and struck out seven Wednesday against the White Sox.
    The Jays had a rain-shortened complete game last night and have Thursday off, so they were extra aggressive with the pen today and pulled Lauer after 68 pitches. Of course, they’ve tended to employ a quick hook here anyway; even though Lauer has been plenty effective, he’s completed five innings in only three of his eight starts and never in five outings as a bulk guy. Lauer took the loss today, so he closes out the first half 4-2 with a 2.78 ERA.
