  • KC 2nd Baseman #19

    Michael Massey went 0-for-2 with a sac bunt against the Astros on Friday.
    Massey had a 366-foot fly to right that would have been a homer in 23 ballparks, but it was an out in Kauffman. There have been no homers or steals this year for Massey, who is batting .191/.211/.225 through 96 plate appearances. The Royals have an alternative in Triple-A in Nick Loftin if they’d like to go in a different direction. Loftin is mostly playing third this year, but the Royals would still have Maikel Garcia and Jonathan India as options at second.
  • CLE Relief Pitcher #59

    Nic Enright will be the 27th player for the Guardians’ doubleheader against the White Sox.
    Enright adds some bullpen depth for the twin-billing. The Guardians will either then send the right-hander back to Triple-A, or need to him to the active roster.
    Skenes still top bet for NL Cy Young Award
    Trysta Krick and Vaughn Dalzell discuss the National League Cy Young market and evaluate why Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is still the best bet to win the award.
  • SEA Center Fielder #44
    Julio Rodríguez announced that he will not take part in the 2025 All Star Game.
    Rodríguez was a bit of a surprise inclusion to the game, but the metrics suggest he’s been one of the best outfielders in the American League because of his defense and wheels. The 24-year-old released a statement that said that decision was made to take care of his body and “fully prepare” for the second half of the 2025 season. A replacement should be announced shortly.
  • HOU Shortstop #86
    Astros selected the contract of INF Brice Matthews from Triple-A Sugar Land.
    Matthews is up with a chance to make his MLB debut after being drafted in the first round in 2023. The 23-year-old has forged an .876 OPS with 10 home runs and 25 stolen bases, and he offers some long-term fantasy upside. It seems unlikely he’ll have a ton of relevancy in 2025, but he’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #37
    DL Hall will be the opener for the Brewers on Friday against the Nationals.
    Hall has worked in this function before, and went three innings in his previous outings. The left-hander will likely get around one turn through the lineup before giving way to Quinn Priester. Hall still has a chance to be a starter someday, but he won’t get deep enough into games to qualify for wins right now.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #54
    Max Fried has been replaced by Carlos Rodón on the active roster for the AL All-Star team.
    No official word yet, but we’re assuming Fried didn’t want to pitch on two days’ rest after starting Saturday. Rodón doesn’t seem like a great replacement choice at this point after posting a 5.34 ERA in his last six starts, but he was excellent prior to that.
  • NYM Left Fielder #3
    Jared Young has met the Mets in Kansas City in case Jesse Winker needs to go on the IL because of back tightness.
    Winker left the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader because of the issue. Mark Vientos will probably get some additional playing time this weekend if Winker is unavailable.
  • CWS Relief Pitcher #55
    Fraser Ellard will be the White Sox’s 27th man for Friday’s doubleheader against the Guardians.
    Despite allowing just one hit, Ellard has given up five runs in 6 2/3 innings for the White Sox this season. He’s struck out 10 and walked six.
  • SEA Relief Pitcher #52
    Collin Snider worked a scoreless inning Thursday in his third rehab appearance for Triple-A Tacoma.
    Snider has yet to allow a run in his PCL stint. The right-hander has been on the injured list since June 4 with a flexor strain, but he should rejoin the Mariners pen soon.
  • DET Left Fielder #60
    Akil Baddoo tripled three times for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
    All three were pretty legitimate, too, though the third one should have been played better. Baddoo had just one triple in 64 games this season prior to last night. In case you’re curious, there have been four three-triple games in the majors since 2000, with Rafael Furcal (2002), Denard Span (2010), Yasiel Puig (2014) and Xavier Edwards (2024) pulling off the feat.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #57
    Bubba Chandler pitched six scoreless innings for a second straight start for Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
    He struck out seven. Chandler had a miserable June while awaiting a deserved callup that never arrived. It seems like he’s recovered now, and he should get a look at some point during the second half, though the Pirates will probably want to curtail his workload at the end of the year.
