Dodgers recall Kyle Hurt from Oklahoma City

It’s a massive relief that Bregman didn’t suffer any additional serious injuries when he was hurt in a freak accident while standing in the on-deck circle during Sunday’s game against the Reds. The 32-year-old third baseman was one of the hottest hitters in the game during the second half, hitting .296 (68-for-230) with 17 home runs and 48 RBI in 59 games following the All-Star break. It’s an unfortunate development for fantasy managers heading into the home stretch in rotisserie leagues, and head-to-head formats still running, but it sounds like there’s optimism that Bregman will be able to return at some point during Chicago’s upcoming postseason run. It’ll likely be a combination of Pedro Ramírez and Matt Shaw handling the hot corner in his absence.

One of the main components of the Tarik Skubal trade with the Dodgers last month, Ryan will make his Tigers debut against the Nationals on Monday. The hard-throwing 28-year-old top pitching prospect made four starts for Los Angeles before undergoing Tommy John surgery back in 2024. He’s spent the entire year pitching at the Triple-A level, compiling an impressive 47/9 K/BB ratio across 41 innings of work. Simply put, Ryan offers enough strikeout upside to be interesting as a streaming option for fantasy managers, even if he’s highly unlikely to work deep into Monday’s outing.

Cease added that he’s been diagnosed with shoulder inflammation after undergoing an MRI over the weekend following Friday’s lackluster start against the Rangers. The 30-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter added that they’re still determining whether he’ll make another start this season, but he doesn’t believe the issue will impact his availability for next year. That’s the encouraging news. It seems highly unlikely that he’ll take the ball again this season with Toronto sitting three games out of the final AL Wild Card playoff spot entering the final week of the season.

Now this is fun. Davidson has joined San Francisco ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Twins after a sizzling-hot stretch to close out the year at Triple-A Sacramento where he’s hit .367 (18-for-49) with three homers since the start of September. He finished the season slashing a robust .290/.361/.527 with 29 homers and 20 steals in 125 games in the upper minors. The 24-year-old has gone from undrafted a couple years ago to one of the top prospects in San Francisco’s system. He possesses a fantasy relevant skillset and should be an interesting X-factor during the final week of the year. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues.

It’s been an abysmal lost season for Guerrero, who has gone from one of the most fearsome hitters on the planet during last year’s postseason to a non-factor at one of the thinnest position groups in the fantasy landscape. A compelling explanation, most likely due to playing through physical issues, will be unearthed at some point in the next few months, but it doesn’t make things any easier for fantasy managers to stomach. The 27-year-old franchise cornerstone is sitting out after making an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Rangers with lower back tightness. It’ll be rookie Sean Keys taking over at the cold corner.

Holliday finishes a very disappointing year with a .229/.300/.340 line in 98 games. His hard-hit rate was just 33 percent, down from 40 percent last year and 45 percent in 60 games as a rookie in 2024. He wasn’t very good defensively at second base, either. Maybe the wrist took a toll on his offense, but all things considered, he shouldn’t be promised a starting job next spring.

It’s likely just a rest day for he and Max Clark versus a lefty. Both had started 14 straight games since last sitting on Sept. 5. The Tigers have Hao-Yu Lee at third and Javier Báez in center tonight.

José Barrero is playing second tonight. This follows manager Craig Albernaz criticizing Jackson after Sunday’s game for swinging at the first pitch he saw in the sixth and grounding out after Chad Patrick had just thrown nine straight balls to load the bases. Jackson went 0-for-4 last night and 1-for-13 in the series against the Brewers.

Yesavage will make his return from knee surgery in a start against the Orioles tonight. The Jays are hoping for three innings out of him and then will probably turn the ball over to Spencer Miles.

Dallas has a 6.10 ERA over 10 1/3 innings in four relief appearances for the Jays this season. He finished up with a 3.15 ERA in 12 starts and 15 relief appearance for Buffalo. He’ll be available out of the bullpen tonight.
