Brewers activate Brandon Lockridge (leg) from IL

Sasaki hit the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger roughly two weeks ago. It sounds like the issue has resolved itself to the point that he’ll be able to take the ball again for the final two weeks of the season.

Díaz is slated to make back-to-back appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City this week before he’s potentially activated from the injured list. The 32-year-old former elite closer has been on the shelf with neck inflammation since late August. It feels highly unlikely that he’ll be thrust into high-leverage spots for the Dodgers right away.

It sounds like there’s a decent chance that Swanson is back for the final week of the regular season after getting a couple rehab contests under his belt. The 32-year-old shortstop hit the injured list with an oblique strain back in mid-August.

Langeliers is on track to return at some point next week and will be limited to DH exclusively after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee back in July. It was believed to be a season-ending procedure at the time, but Langeliers has made a rapid recovery. He’s obviously worth picking up in any fantasy leagues where he’s available as a decent catching option for the final week-plus of the season.

Carroll was dropped to the fifth spot in Arizona’s lineup over the weekend as his second-half struggles continue. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone is hitting just .215 with six homers and 11 steals in 48 games since the All-Star break. It’ll be versatile Tim Tawa taking over in right field in his absence. There should be an update on his status following the contest, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Suárez heads to the open market after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The 28-year-old lefty compiled a lackluster 5.87 ERA across 61 1/3 innings for the Athletics after being acquired from the Mariners back in mid-May.

Winn returns to St. Louis’ lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Giants following a two-week absence due to a fractured left thumb. The 24-year-old shortstop has hit just .238/.314/.326 with 49 runs scored, five homers, 51 RBI and 10 steals in 490 plate appearances this season. He’s at shortstop and hitting eighth on Tuesday night at Oracle Park.

Prieto returns to the minors with Masyn Winn back from the injured list for Tuesday’s game against the Giants. The 27-year-old infielder has gone 2-for-32 with one stolen base in 14 games with the Cardinals this season.

Wilits receives an extra week of game action, and a sneak preview of the upper minors, after High-A Wilmington wrapped up their season over the weekend. The 18-year-old phenom, who was selected first overall in last year’s draft, hit .262/.404/.457 with 13 homers and 60 stolen bases in 521 plate appearances between High-A Wilmington and Low-A Fredericksburg. He figures to open next season back in Double-A with a legitimate chance to reach the majors before his 19th birthday.

Eisert returns to Pittsburgh’s bullpen equation with Isaac Mattson hitting the injured list. The 28-year-old southpaw has made nine appearances for the Pirates since being acquired from the White Sox in mid-July.
