  • PHI Starting Pitcher #61

    Cristopher Sánchez said he’s feeling better Wednesday after leaving his start Tuesday with forearm tightness, and no MRI is currently scheduled.
    Sánchez will test things out by playing catch Friday. It’s possible he’ll make his next start on time or be pushed back by only a couple of days. Alternatively, if Friday doesn’t go well, he’ll probably be placed on the IL, with Ranger Suárez taking his spot (instead of Taijuan Walker’s spot) in the Phillies rotation.
  • WSH Relief Pitcher #47

    Jose A. Ferrer threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.
    Ferrer was called on with two outs in the eighth inning in a tie game, allowing a double to Vinnie Pasquantino before getting the third out of the inning. The Nationals would take the lead in the ninth inning, so Ferrer came back out in a non-save situation. Although things got dicey in the final frame, he only allowed an infield single and a bloop into center field before inducing a game-ending groundout. It feels like he has a firm grasp on the closer’s role in Washington.
    What's next for Alonso after making Mets history?
    With Pete Alonso now alone atop the Mets' all-time home run leaderboard, Eric Samulski explores what could be next for the slugging first basemen and the only organization he's ever known.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #23
    Mitch Keller allowed six runs on eight hits in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.
    Keller walked two and struck out five while posting a 21 percent whiff rate and 29 percent CSW. The 29-year-old was hit hard most of the day with a 92.6 mph average exit velocity allowed on balls in play. He threw both his fastball variations in the zone but failed to get many chases on his secondary pitches. He’ll now carry a 4.13 ERA into a tough start against the Blue Jays next week. We would not stream him there.
  • BAL Right Fielder #9
    Tyler O’Neill hasn’t recovered from his right wrist inflammation as quickly as hoped, interim manager Tony Mansolino said.
    The Orioles haven’t ruled out a return before the end of the month, but it’s starting to see more likely that he won’t be back until September. With O’Neill and Colton Cowser out, the Orioles are currently using a Dylan Carlson-Greg Allen-Jeremiah Jackson outfield that’s probably worse than their current Triple-A group.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #38
    Victor Vodnik threw a scoreless ninth inning to secure a save in a 6-5 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.
    A Hunter Goodman home run gave the Rockies a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning, so Vodnik quickly warmed up and then didn’t allow a baserunner in the ninth inning. He did allow a shot to the wall in left center field by Thomas Saggese, but no damage was done. Vodnik now has four saves on the season, but may need some time off after also getting five outs in a save chance on Tuesday.
  • COL Center Fielder #22
    Mickey Moniak went 2-for-5 with a home run in a win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.
    Moniak launched a sixth-inning pitch off Michael McGreevy 413 feet at 107.1 mph off the bat. The former first overall pick had been off to a slow start to August, so this was a nice effort. He’s now hitting .264/.306/.521 on the season with 18 home runs and 46 RBI, and has emerged as a deep league fantasy option in his new home in Colorado.
  • STL Right Fielder #41
    Alec Burleson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Rockies on Wednesday.
    Burleson’s 15th home run of the season was a 410-foot shot that left the bat at 106.2 mph. The 26-year-old has settled into an everyday role, starting against all five of the last left-handed pitchers that the Cardinals have faced, including today. The job security is warranted, and Burleson needs to be rostered in more leagues than he currently is.
  • COL 3rd Baseman #12
    Kyle Karros went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and a run scored in a comeback win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.
    It was a nice game for the rookie, who continues to show tremendous plate discipline and the ability to make consistent contact. He worked a crucial walk to lead off the ninth inning and took some really tough pitches against closer JoJo Romero before Hunter Goodman crushed a go-ahead two-run home run. Karros is emerging as a solid corner infield option in deeper formats.
  • COL Starting Pitcher #26
    Austin Gomber allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
    Gomber struck out two and walked one, but allowed two home runs that accounted for three of the runs against him. The left-hander posted just an eight percent walk rate and 26 percent CSW and is not an option in fantasy leagues.
  • STL Starting Pitcher #36
    Michael McGreevy allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Wednesday.
    McGreevy struck out two and didn’t walk a batter while throwing 48 of his 74 pitches for strikes. He allowed only one extra base hit, a home run to Mickey Moniak, but he posted just a 14 percent whiff rate and 24 percent CSW is a relatively underwhelming start. McGreevy simply doesn’t miss enough bats to provide a ceiling that would entice fantasy managers. He could be considered a high-floor streamer next week against the Marlins, but it’s a bit of a risk.
  • STL Relief Pitcher #59
    JoJo Romero allowed two runs on two hits in one inning while blowing a save against the Rockies on Wednesday.
    Romero issued a leadoff walk in a good at-bat by rookie Kyle Karros. He then struck out pinch-hitter Brenton Doyle before another pinch-hitter, Hunter Goodman, crushed a go-ahead home run to center field. Romero wound up striking out three in the inning, but the damage was done. He’s opened up a chance for Riley O’Brien, who threw a scoreless eighth innings, to get more save chances.
