    Hunter Dobbins will start Wednesday’s series finale against the Angels.

    St. Louis will transition to a six-man rotation with Dobbins’ arrival pushing everyone else back an additional day, including Wednesday’s original starter Michael McGreevy. The 26-year-old came over from the Red Sox in the Willson Contreras trade last offseason and has posted a pedestrian 4.03 ERA across 22 1/3 innings over five appearances for the Cardinals this season. He’s missing bats at a higher rate than expected, albeit in a small sample size, but Dobbins isn’t exactly an intriguing fantasy option at this stage of his career.
Trade deadline moves set to shake up AL East race
The AL East was one of baseball's busiest divisions leading up to Monday's trade deadline, leaving CC Sabathia to assess how the Rays and Yankees stack up following their respective moves.

    Carlos Rodón (elbow) will make his first minor league rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Rodón is finally ready to return to game action after working his way back from elbow inflammation that put him on the injured list back in early July. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need a handful of outings before he’s an option for New York’s rotation mix later this month.

    Christian Yelich hitting seventh on Tuesday against the Pirates

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters they’re moving Yelich down in an effort to generate a spark and get things trending in a different direction. It’ll be Jake Bauers moving up to the third spot in front of cleanup hitter William Contreras to face Pirates starter Jared Jones. Yelich has been ice-cold since last month’s All-Star break, hitting .192 (10-for-52) with one homer in 13 games.

    Diamondbacks placed C Gabriel Moreno on the paternity list.

    Moreno will be away from the club for a couple days on paternity leave. The 26-year-old backstop has consistently batted in the heart of Arizona’s lineup, slashing .298/.380/.438 with eight homers, 47 RBI and four steals in 350 plate appearances this season. It feels strange to call him underrated, but Moreno has graded out as a top-10 fantasy catcher so far.

    Rays optioned C Kenny Piper to Double-A Montgomery.

    Piper made the most of his one-game big-league opportunity, collecting his first career hit during Monday’s contest at Coors Field. It was a special moment that he’ll never forget. The 28-year-old backstop heads back to the minors with Liam Hicks arriving from the Marlins at the trade deadline.

    Marlins recalled C/DH Agustín Ramírez from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    It’s become a lot less challenging to forecast Ramírez from a playing time standpoint after Miami jettisoned Liam Hicks at the trade deadline. The 24-year-old has zero shot at reclaiming the starting catcher role given his defensive shortcomings, especially now that defensive wizard Joe Mack is firmly entrenched in the role. However, he figures to see enough time between first base and DH to matter for fantasy purposes. There have never really been a ton of questions regarding his offensive ability and having less competition for at-bats should help Ramírez tremendously.
