Spencer Miles impressive as bulk reliever

It appears to just be a routine day-game-after-a-night-game rest. Gary Sánchez is batting cleanup against RHP George Kirby.

Raleigh has three hits in his last 34 at bats in what has been one of the most disappointing follow-up seasons in baseball history. He’s still walking, but that won’t help most fantasy managers. Jhonny Pereda will grab the start against LHP Robert Gasser today.

Jenkins is now batting .380/.436/.640 in August with three homers and three stolen bases in 12 games. The Twins would appear to have an opening on paper for a strong-side platoon outfielder that could play over Luke Keaschall, but Keaschall is hitting .345/.426/.569 in August and the Twins don’t appear interested in moving him back to the infield.

He also, notably, played third base. Perhaps that opens a September call-up pathway for King, who has homered in 6-of-10 contests for Rochester and is currently hitting .375/.467/.719 since returning from an oblique strain on July 30.

He was optioned down literally yesterday to make room for Matt Wilkinson and now comes back up as Keaton Winn was placed on the injured list. Sanmartin is just a low-leverage up-and-down arm.

He was already on the injured list for a right elbow strain earlier this year so we’re concerned that this could be something chronic that needs to be dealt with. Winn hasn’t made a real play for the closer’s role so this move has no fantasy impact. He carried a 3.65 ERA in 12 1/3 innings since returning from the injured list, but had walked eight and struck out just seven along the way.

Darell Hernaiz is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against RHP Randy Dobnak. Wilson remains a prime candidate to head to the injured list, especially now that the Athletics lineup is already injury-depleted as they finish off the season.

He left yesterday’s game with soreness in the ankle. Royals manager Matt Quatraro said after the game the issue had begun to occur over the weekend against the Angels. “Just going down the line today in that first inning hit, felt it a little bit, and then tried to manage it, go out to outfield, but clearly there was a little (soreness),” Quatraro said. “You know, we’re just trying to be cautious to be honest, because we don’t want something bigger to come up.” We’ll see what comes of this but Caglianone remains day-to-day for the moment. Isaac Collins is starting against LHP Gage Jump today.

Nick Fortes will get a day-game-after-a-night-game start against RHP Shane Bieber. Since being acquired by the Rays, Hicks has almost exclusively played catcher — he has just one start at first base and stayed in the game as a pinch-hitter twice as a catcher alongside 10 starts at catcher.

Bateman said he felt a pinch in his hamstring running up the line in the top of the third inning last night and came out when it tightened up in the fifth inning. He was set to undergo an MRI last night but we don’t know what came of it yet. Myles Straw and Daz Cameron are both in the lineup against LHP Ian Seymour today.
