Corbin Carroll

AZ Right Fielder #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Corbin Carroll (elbow) is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters he wasn’t overly concerned about the severity of the injury after Carroll hyperextended his right elbow on a swing during Sunday’s comeback win over the Cardinals. The 25-year-old fantasy superstar will receive some extra time off to rest and recover with Jorge Barrosa taking over in right field. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Max Meyer

MIA Starting Pitcher #23

Marlins placed RHP Max Meyer on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 19, with a neck strain.

It’s unclear how much time Meyer will miss after throwing just 74 pitches across three innings on Saturday against the Brewers. The 27-year-old emerging Marlins ace was outstanding during the first half, earning his first All-Star Game selection in the process. However, he’s already up to 111 innings, which is right around his previous career-high mark set back in 2024. It’s a tough break for Miami, and fantasy managers, but Meyer could probably use an extended break at this point in the year. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days.
Jameson Taillon

CHC Starting Pitcher #50

Cubs activated RHP Jameson Taillon from the 15-day injured list.

Taillon gets the ball for Monday’s series opener against the Tigers at Wrigley Field following a nearly six-week absence recovering from a hamstring strain. The 34-year-old veteran has struggled to a pedestrian 5.19 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 59/23 K/BB ratio across 67 2/3 innings through 13 starts. He boasts and extensive track record of impact fantasy production, but a quick glance at his underlying metrics suggests those days might finally be coming to an end. He’s not a recommended option at this juncture.
Otto Lopez

MIA Shortstop #6

Otto Lopez (finger) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Astros.

Lopez takes a seat for the second consecutive contest with inflammation in his right ring finger. The positive news for the Marlins, and fantasy managers, is that initial X-rays came back negative and he doesn’t appear to be facing an extended absence. The 27-year-old middle infielder has been an unexpected breakout sensation, delivering first-round fantasy value this season, slashing .335/.368/.505 with 61 runs scored, nine homers, 46 RBI and 18 stolen bases across 419 plate appearances through 97 games. It’ll be Javier Sanoja taking over at shortstop in his place on Monday night.
Bobby Witt Jr.

KC Shortstop #7

Bobby Witt Jr. (back) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Giants.

Witt is back at shortstop and hitting second after being held out of Sunday’s series finale against the Padres for precautionary reasons due to back tightness. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone doesn’t appear to be at risk of missing additional time, but back issues can be tricky matters. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status for the next couple days.
Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña (hamstring) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins.

Peña is back at shortstop and hitting leadoff following a brief one-game absence due to a right hamstring cramp. The 28-year-old has been limited to just 53 games this season due to an avalanche of injuries, so he was probably overdue to catch a break. Still, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his health for the remainder of the week.
Adley Rutschman

BAL Catcher #35

Orioles placed C Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 19, with left wrist inflammation

Rutschman winds up requiring a trip to the injured list for the third time this season after missing time over the weekend with a wrist issue. There should be additional clarity on his status once he undergoes imaging to determine the severity of the issue. It’s worth noting that Samuel Basallo is also dealing with a shoulder issue, so the Orioles are going to have to get creative at catcher in the coming days.
Samuel Basallo

BAL Catcher #29

Samuel Basallo (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Red Sox.

Basallo suffered a right shoulder injury in Sunday’s win over the Astros. This is the second time this summer that Basallo appeared to grab his arm in discomfort after a swing. He didn’t miss time the first time it happened, but it’s unclear if that will be the case now. Coby Mayo will DH and bat fifth, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand will start at third base and bat eighth.
Luis Robert Jr.

NYM Center Fielder #88

Mets activated OF Luis Robert Jr. (back) from the 60-day injured list.

Robert Jr. has been on the injured list with a lumbar spine disk herniation since late April. He’s played in 24 games for the Mets, slashing .224/.327/.329 with two home runs and two steals. The Mets will likely trey to get Robert Jr. in the lineup often over the next two weeks to help facilitate a trade. That could cost A.J. Ewing at bats in the short-term or, perhaps more likely, one of the extra outfielders could slide to DH with Jorge Polanco heading to the bench.
Steven Kwan

CLE Center Fielder #38

Steven Kwan is leading off and playing left field on Monday against the Twins.

Over his last 25 games, Kwan is hitting .329/.417/.425 with 10 runs scored and three steals. The power was never really something you were banking on from him, but his run totals should increase now that he has retaken his spot at the top of the order. If you need batting average and runs in your fantasy legaue, Kwan is back on the radar.
