  • COL Relief Pitcher #36
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    This qualifies as a surprise. There haven’t been a ton of save chances for the Rockies this season, but Agnos has become a key component of Colorado’s high-leverage mix during his rookie campaign, notching four saves across 20 appearances. The 24-year-old was hit extremely hard during his last two appearances against the division-rival Giants, allowing seven runs over 1 1/3 innings. His sudden demotion seemingly opens the door for Seth Halvorsen, and possibly even lights-out setup specialist Jake Bird, to handle the bulk of the save opportunities.
  • BOS Center Fielder #19
    Anthony and Mayer got a chance to face exactly one of New York’s three left-handed arm, squaring off against Ryan Yarbrough and Carlos Rodón respectively, during this series. The pair of elite prospect will open Sunday’s contest at Fenway Park on the bench in favor or Rob Refsnyder and Abraham Toro. It feels like only a matter of time before they get their opportunities to face southpaws on a consistent basis, especially Anthony, who had success against them in the minors.
  • MIN 3rd Baseman #23
    The move is now official. Lewis simply can’t catch a break from an injury standpoint. He’s been plagued by persistent physical issues since breaking into the majors back in 2022 and heads back to the injured list for the second time this season for a hamstring-related strain. The positive news is that he’s dealing with a relatively mild hamstring strain this time around, which doesn’t figure to require a lengthy absence.
  • LAD Designated Hitter #17
    It was 11-0 until; the ninth, when the Dodgers tried to save a little wear on their pitchers by putting in Enrique Hernández for the final inning. Hernández, though, gave up a grand slam and five runs while getting two outs, and Anthony Banda ended up finishing the game. Ohtani has 25 homers this year, leaving him one behind Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh for the MLB lead. He’s up to 250 career homers in 929 games since debuting in 2018.
  • ARI Shortstop #2
    The D-Backs entered the ninth inning trailing 7-3 with the normally-excellent Robert Suarez on the mound. Didn’t matter. With the bases full, Perdomo smoked a triple into right field to tie the game at 7-7. One batter later, Josh Naylor bounced into a fielder’s choice with Perdomo safe at the plate for the impressive win. He’s now up to 49 RBI over 70 games, and he’s slashed a solid 271/.366/.429 over his 243 at-bats.
  • MIN Center Fielder #25
    Buxton told reporters after the game that he “didn’t feel good” but believes he avoided a long-term injury. The contusion occurred when he was plunked by a pitch, and while he stayed in the game initially, he was unable to continue. Buxton may get Sunday off, but should be back in the lineup in the coming days.
  • NYY Right Fielder #99
    He is human, afterall. Judge struck out twice against Hunter Dobbins in his second consecutive three-strikeout evening. It’s disappointing, but considering the 33-year-old saw his numbers ‘drop’ to .384/.479/.767, it’d be pretty foolish to complain for too long.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #73
    Impressive. Dobbins struck out five, and two of those punchouts came against Aaron Judge. He gave up only two hits — both singles — and issued one walk while throwing 52-of-82 pitches for strikes. Dobbins has been a quality find for the Boston rotation, and now has a 3.74 ERA and 42/11 K/BB for his trouble over 55 1/3 innings. Assuming the rotation order doesn’t change, he’s set to face off against the Giants in San Francisco on Friday.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #80
    Rocker will make his return to the Texas pitching staff, and it comes at the expense of Tyler Mahle; who is likely headed to the injured list due to shoulder soreness. Rocker obviously has the stuff to be a strong fantasy option, and the White Sox lineup just as obviously offers opportunity. There’s certainly risk because of Rocker’s shaky command at times, but the risk comes with considerable potential reward.
  • STL Left Fielder #33
    Donovan has missed four consecutive games with a sprained big toe, but a carbon-fiber orthotic in his shoe has helped to ease his toe pain. The 28-year-old will likely need some maintenance days, but it’s a positive development that he can get back on the field this weekend.
