Eduardo Valencia knocks in four runs vs. A’s

It’s a massive hit to Kansas City’s rotation depth beyond just the current season. Avila emerged as a decent back-end rotation stabilizer before hitting the injured list with forearm tightness over the weekend. Given the timing of the procedures, fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate either Avila or Kolek returning until the 2028 campaign.

Murdock heads back to the minors with Pittsburgh clearing space for relievers Luke Weaver, Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar on their active roster. The 27-year-old has spun three scoreless frames in the big leagues this season.

Eisert heads back to the minors with Pittsburgh clearing space for relievers Lake Bachar, Luke Weaver and Kirby Yates on their active roster. The 28-year-old’s latest stint in the big leagues lasted roughly 24 hours.

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.

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.

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.

Grove returns to the minors with trade deadline acquisition Tyler Wells taking his spot in Tampa Bay’s bullpen.

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.

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.

Ekness returns to Miami’s relief mix for Tuesday’s game against the Braves following a nine-week absence recovering from a calf strain. The 24-year-old rookie looked sharp, allowing one run over 5 1/3 innings after being promoted back in early May.
