  • MIN Starting Pitcher #41
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    There’s zero indication that Ryan has been traded despite speculation running rampant on social media. The 30-year-old will get a reprieve from facing a loaded Los Angeles lineup and should be ready to take the ball again in a couple days once he’s feeling better. It’ll be intriguing rookie southpaw Kendry Rojas taking the ball against the Dodgers in his place.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #53
    Woodruff was excellent in his first start since going on the injured list with shoulder inflammation in early May. The 33-year-old right-hander allowed one hit, no walks and struck out 10 Reds batters on Monday. Woodruff threw just 79 pitches in six innings after throwing 82 pitches in his final rehab start. He’ll face the Cubs at home this weekend in his next start.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #80
    Rocker took over after opener Tyler Alexander fired a perfect first inning and authored one of the strongest outings of his career, needing just 76 pitches to navigate five frames. He generated an eye-popping 20 swinging strikes and finished with an other-worldly 46 percent CSW. It was a much-needed rebound performance after getting torched for seven runs over 3 1/3 innings by the Twins his last time out. He limited Miami to just five hits and got some help from his defense as a perfect relay throw from Ezequiel Duran cut down Xavier Edwards at the plate as the potential go-ahead run to end the sixth inning. He’ll get the ball against the Blue Jays in a tough road matchup on Saturday to finish off a two-start week. He’s been extremely volatile from a results standpoint, but his immense strikeout potential makes him an interesting streaming option until further notice.
  • LAD Right Fielder #23
    Tucker walked and advanced to second base on Tommy Edman’s single before being lifted for a pinch-runner in the second inning. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern, but the Dodgers obviously weren’t going to take any chances with his health. The 29-year-old has been scuffling at the plate in recent weeks, hitting .212 (14-for-66) with two homers and two steals since the start of June. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #35
    Not great. Crochet underwent followup imaging on Monday that showed improvement in his shoulder, but not enough for him to be cleared to start throwing again. The 27-year-old fantasy ace hit the injured list with a shoulder issue back in late April before suffering a lat strain a couple weeks later during his rehabilitation process. At this point it seems highly unlikely he’ll make it back to Boston’s rotation until sometime around August given how long it’ll take him to build up his arm strength and pitch count.
  • BAL 2nd Baseman #7
    Holliday remains on the bench for the second consecutive contest after exiting Saturday’s game against the Dodgers with groin tightness. It’s always challenging to rule out a potential trip to the injured list, but the Orioles have the depth to give the 22-year-old former top prospect a couple days off before making that determination. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. It’ll be Jeremiah Jackson drawing another start at the keystone in his place at Angel Stadium on Monday night.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #34
    This contest stood zero chance with showers in the forecast throughout the evening at Citi Field. It’ll be made up as a split doubleheader on Wednesday. It’s a tough break for the Cubs as they’re rained out for the second consecutive contest, which pushes Shota Imanaga back an additional day. He’ll be pitching on seven days of rest when he gets the ball on Tuesday at Citi Field. It’ll likely be Kodai Senga drawing the starting assignment for his second turn in New York’s rotation after allowing four runs over four innings in his return from the injured list last week.
  • CIN Shortstop #44
    De La Cruz went 2-for-8 with a home run during a brief three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Louisville over the weekend. The electrifying 24-year-old shortstop will rejoin Cincinnati’s lineup after missing just over three weeks with a low-grade hamstring strain. He was hitting .280/.346/.509 with 40 runs scored, 12 homers, 37 RBI and 10 steals through 58 games prior to the injury. The biggest question mark surrounding his arrival is whether top prospect Edwin Arroyo will remain in the big leagues as part of their second base rotation or wind up being shipped back to Triple-A.
  • KC Shortstop #7
    Royals manager Matt Quatraro delivered an encouraging update prior to Monday’s matchup in Tampa Bay, indicating the club is optimistic Witt could be available within the next couple of days after participating in baseball activities, including hitting, fielding and running the bases. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone was diagnosed with a low-grade MCL sprain in his right knee last Friday. He’s out of the lineup for the third consecutive contest with Maikel Garcia drawing another start at shortstop in his place. It sounds like there’s a strong possibility he manages to avoid the injured list and returns later this week.
  • PHI Designated Hitter #12
    Not a bad encore after his three-homer display on Saturday night. Schwarber walked and scored a run in the first inning before hitting an absolute missile in the second. The ball traveled an estimated 418 feet, which really doesn’t do it justice. Similar to Saturday’s homers, it was a majestic blast which found a home in the second deck. Schwarber is up to 29 homers, four more than Yordan Alvarez for tops in MLB. He’s well on his way to another 50-homer season. If Schwarber manages to pull it off, which looks very likely right now, he’ll become the first player in Phillies history with two 50-homer seasons.
