Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The rehabbing Ronald Acuña Jr. will remain with Triple-A Gwinnett for Saturday’s doubleheader.

The thinking was that Friday’s game might be Acuña’s last before being activated from his hamstring strain, but it was rained out and will made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday. Acuña could play in both games then before rejoining the Braves, and it that happens, he’ll likely get Sunday off before being activated Monday.
Addison Barger

TOR Right Fielder #47

The Blue Jays announced that Addison Barger (elbow) will undergo season-ending surgery.

It remains to be seen whether Barger will get the full Tommy John procedure or the internal brace procedure instead. Either way, he’s going to miss the remainder of the 2026 season and most of the 2027 season as well while recovering.
Max Meyer

MIA Starting Pitcher #23

Max Meyer, who went on the IL on Monday with a neck strain, won’t throw for at least the next two weeks.

That doesn’t bode well for Meyer returning to make a meaningful contribution down the stretch. With two weeks of no throwing and about five weeks of buildup, the best-case scenario is probably him making three starts before the end of the regular season. He could potentially make it back earlier as a reliever, if the Marlins wanted to go that route.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in Cleveland’s starting lineup against the Rays on Friday.

It’s likely just a little extra rest after the Guardians played 12 innings yesterday. Gabriel Arias is batting seventh and playing third base against LHP Shane McClanahan.
Angel Martínez

CLE Left Fielder #1

Guardians activated LF Angel Martínez from the 10-day injured list.

Martínez was playing essentially everyday while hitting .239/.276/.442 with 11 homers and nine stolen bases in 243 plate appearances before suffering a foot fracture in mid-June. He’ll likely be a big part of the Guardians lineup again right away, and fantasy managers can jump on him if he was dropped in shallower leagues. He’s batting leadoff tonight against the Rays.
Ketel Marte

AZ 2nd Baseman #4

Ketel Marte (back) is batting leadoff for the Diamondbacks on Friday against the Nationals.

Marte was scratched from Thursday’s lineup late with a stiff back, but is back in the lineup today. Bobby Witt Jr. has told us this doesn’t necessarily mean you can be worry-free about Marte’s short-term future, but fantasy mangers can feel free to activate him against the Nationals and opener LHP Carson Palmquist.
Ben Joyce

LAA Relief Pitcher #44

Ben Joyce (shoulder) threw a scoreless inning for Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Joyce only threw eight pitches in the inning, all four-seamers, and allowed one hit. He sat 101.9 mph on his four-seamer and touched 103.2 mph. He got two whiffs on seven swings. We’ll need to see him mix in some other pitches, and the Angels likely will wait until after the trade deadline to call him up, but he could be the primary closer for them for the final month or so of the season.
AJ Smith-Shawver

ATL Starting Pitcher #32

AJ Smith-Shawver allowed one run (none earned) on two hits in four innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Smith-Shawver struck out five and walked one while throwing 54 of his 86 pitches for strikes. The 23-year-old averaged 97.5 mph on his four-seam fastball, which is up two mph from what we’re used to seeing. His slider was also up four mph, so there may have been a hot gun at the stadium, but he posted a 22 percent whiff rate overall in what was a solid outing. He should be up in the Braves rotation next week and is probably worth a stash in all 15-team leagues. You can wait and see in 12-team leagues if you wanted.
Franklin Arias

BOS Shortstop #95

The Red Sox are promoting Franklin Arias to Triple-A Worcester.

Arias passed every test in three months in Double-A, hitting .319/.407/.581 with 18 homers and just 46 strikeouts in 327 plate appearances. There still isn’t much reason to think he’ll reach the majors this year, but he’s not too far away from taking over as Boston’s shortstop. Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer might wind up battling it out for second base next year.
Clay Holmes

NYM Starting Pitcher #35

Clay Holmes yielded two runs in 2 1/3 innings Thursday in his rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse.

Holmes’ velocity was pretty close to normal in his first start back from a fractured fibula, but he walked two and gave up five hard-hit balls to Yankees prospects while throwing 51 pitches and getting seven outs. He’ll almost definitely make at least one more rehab start. Whether he’ll still be a Met when he’s ready to return in early August is currently up in the air.
