Jordan Romano strikes out two for seventh save

DeLauter takes a seat for the third consecutive game due to a lingering left hamstring issue. There’s zero reason for Cleveland to take any chances with an off-day looming before Friday’s series opener against the Royals. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the remainder of the week.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz pretty much dismissed the notion that Alonso, who went 4-for-4 with his 31st homer of the season, was removed from Tuesday’s blowout win due to a minor calf issue. However, the fact that he’s at DH the following day seems to give those concerns some validity. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern, but he dealt with a similar issue a couple weeks ago. It’s a variable that fantasy managers should continue monitoring for the remainder of the week.

The move is now official. Perales will operate in a multi-inning relief role out of Washington’s bullpen and figures to make his big-league debut following starter Matt Waldron during Wednesday’s game against the Rockies. The 23-year-old top prospect possesses impressive raw stuff, but is still dealing with persistent control issues. The hope among scouts and evaluators was that he would be able to improve his command and stick as a starter long-term. He’s posted a respectable 3.64 ERA and 97/55 K/BB ratio across 96 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season. Perales, who came over from the Red Sox in the Jake Bennett trade last offseason, is an interesting prospect, but isn’t quite ready to make a sustained fantasy impact at this stage in his trajectory.

Just last night, Cruz said he was healthy, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone “downplayed the idea that the reliever is battling fatigue.” However, Cruz had been struggling with increased usage, leading to a drop in velocity and a lack of effectiveness on his signature splitter. It turns out, he was battling through an elbow injury after all.

Fulmer was designated for assignment by the Angels after making three appearances in which he registered a 1.09 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 3 2/3 scoreless innings. He will immediately join the Yankees bullpen.

Weiman allowed five runs (three earned) in nine innings for the Angels this season with an 8/1 K/BB ratio. The 30-year-old will continue to serve as organizational relief depth.

The Angels claimed Martin off waivers from the Rays just over a week ago. The 25-year-old had posted a 3.97 ERA in 11 1/3 innings for the Rays in the first half of the season and will now join the Angels’ bullpen.

Morgan had a 4.50 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, and 26/13 K/BB ratio across 22 innings over 18 appearances with the Padres this season. He was on the injured list with a knee issue earlier in the summer but was acivated on August 12th and optioned to Triple-A.

This is a tough blow for the Padres and Estrada, who was just activated off the injured list on July 29th after missing time with a knee injury. The 27-year-old had also missed time in April with an elbow issue, so this is his third trip to the IL already this season. No word yet on how long he is expected to be out.

Houser had to leave Tuesday’s start in the second inning, and this is brutal timing for the Giants with Carson Whisenhunt (elbow) likely set for surgery. Houser had been pitching well since moving to the bullpen, so hopefully this is not a long-term injury for the 33-year-old.
