The deal is now official. Moniak and the Rockies have agreed to buy out his final arbitration-eligible season, along with one additional year of free agency, keeping him in Colorado through 2028. The 28-year-old former first-overall pick has delivered top-40fantasy production among outfielders this season, hitting .277/.318/.565 with 18 homers, 49 RBI and one steal in 283 plate appearances across 75 games.

Wood has been diagnosed with a mild oblique strain, which means his absence will likely be on the shorter end of the spectrum. However, he’s likely to remain on the shelf until at least mid-to-late August. The 23-year-old rising star suffered the injury on an awkward swing during the sixth inning of Monday’s game against the Phillies. It’s a colossal loss for the Nationals, and fantasy managers, as Wood has delivered top-five overall fantasy value this season, slashing .265/.393/.535 with 100 runs scored, 30 homers, 73 RBI and 17 stolen bases across 535 plate appearances in 114 games. There should be a definitive return timetable once Wood is cleared to resume baseball activities.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt confirmed that Slade Cecconi will move to the bullpen with Tanner Bibee starting in his place on Wednesday. Griffin came over from the Nationals in a five-player swap at the trade deadline earlier this week. The 31-year-old southpaw has posted a strong 3.06 ERA and 116/30 K/BB ratio across 129 innings in his return to the majors after three seasons pitching overseas in Japan.

It sounds like there’s optimism that Ramírez won’t miss too much time, but that’s hardly ever a guarantee. It’s the same wrist that he underwent hamate surgery on earlier this summer. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There should be some additional clarity on his status later this week.

The A’s let Kurtz rush back from his original thumb injury last month and will pay the price, though not really, since they’re not playing for much anyway. It’s unclear as of yet whether Kurtz will return this season. The A’s will likely go with Tommy White at first base, opening up time at third base for Max Muncy and Donovan Walton.

Witt is returning from back tightness without a rehab assignment after 13 days on the injured list. He’ll probably get more days off than usual in the near future, but fantasy teams will surely want him back in their lineups right away.

Bubic hasn’t pitched since the middle of May and will be returning when Blake Snell (elbow) and Tyler Glasnow (back) are also likely back in the Dodgers’ rotation. That means that Bubic will most likely serve as a bulk relief option for the Dodgers in September and potentially the playoffs.

Lombard will make his major-league debut against the Cardinals on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. The 21-year-old remains a work in progress from an offensive standpoint at this stage of his development, but he’s shown some real over-the-fence pop at the Triple-A level this season. He’s a phenomenal defender and projects as New York’s long-term answer at shortstop, which means they can finally end the bizarre José Caballero and Anthony Volpe timeshare once and for all. He may not provide an instant fantasy impact outside of deeper leagues, but Lombard in a prospect worth monitoring closely, even in shallow mixers.

Wrobleski has turned into a pumpkin since the All-Star break, allowing eight home runs across 16 2/3 innings, which has caused his ERA to balloon from 2.69 to 3.31 in the process. He allowed four round-trippers in this outing while striking out four and also issuing three walks. He’ll attempt to right the metaphorical ship when he faces the Diamondbacks on Sunday to wrap up a two-start week. The “unbeatable” Dodgers have suddenly lost a season-high four straight games, which sets quite a stage for Tarik Skubal’s impending debut at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night.

Gulp. Wood was lifted for a defensive replacement in the eighth inning of Monday’s series opener against the Phillies after going 1-for-4 at the plate. He suffered the injury on a sixth-inning swing. The obvious fear here is an oblique issue, which would likely result in a multi-week absence. The 23-year-old burgeoning star has delivered first-round fantasy value this season with a stellar 30-homer, 17-steal campaign. There should be a definitive update on his status heading into Tuesday’s contest. It certainly sounds like a trip to the injured list could be in play. Stay tuned.
