Yohan Ramírez goes to paternity list

Emerson is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing left wrist tendon repair surgery earlier this month. The 21-year-old former top prospect is expected to have a mostly normal offseason and be ready for spring training. He projects as Seattle’s shortstop of the future with J.P. Crawford set to reach free agency in the offseason.

Cade Povich will start Monday’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field with Bradish taking the ball on Tuesday instead. There doesn’t appear to be a physical issue at play here, but the Orioles want to give him some extra rest. The 29-year-old is coming off a disastrous outing against the Cardinals last week where he was torched for seven runs over 4 1/3 innings. It’s challenging to trust Bradish in Coors Field, especially in shallow mixed leagues. There’s a chance his next outing against the Red Sox this weekend could also get pushed back, eliminating a two-start week in the process. There are superior alternatives on the waivers wire in most shallow mixed leagues.

Butera highlighted Abrams’ strong play at shortstop recently as a motivating factor behind the decision to reverse course on their original plan. There’s a chance the Nationals bring up top prospect Seaver King when rosters expand later this week, which would further complicate the equation. Regardless, it sounds like the club is slowly backing away from a permanent move off the position for Abrams, which is going to be a variable to monitor during the offseason and spring training.

It’s a massive development for fantasy purposes after De La Cruz made an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Cubs with left quad tightness. Reds manager Terry Francona told reporters De La Cruz has been diagnosed with a small strain, but the expectation is that he’ll be able to manage and play through the injury unless it gets worse. There’s always a chance that De La Cruz ultimately winds up requiring a trip to the injured list, but it sounds like the Reds are going to let him play through the minor ailment for now.

Francona declined to elaborate on the exact innings limit. This latest development was alluded to by Reds analyst Jeff Brantley during Burns’ latest start against the Cubs on Sunday night. The hard-throwing 23-year-old, who has delivered top-10 fantasy value among starters this season, has already thrown 145 1/3 innings, which is nearly 40 more than he posted during last year’s professional debut. The move is designed to allow Burns to make his final handful of starts without a shutdown prior to the end of the season. It’s a tough development for fantasy managers in the middle of the playoffs, but he’s still worth hanging onto and starting outside of extremely shallow mixed leagues.

Gibson has a 5.87 ERA in 38 1/3 innings with the Marlins so far this season. He’ll work in low-leverage innings.

González was just called up over the weekend and did not appear in an MLB game. He will return to a 6.62 ERA in 34 Triple-A innings this year.

Serna was one of three players acquired in the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade. He has hit .221/.303/.378 with 12 home runs and 14 steals for Triple-A Jacksonville so far this season.

Edwards left Sunday’s game after colliding into Jorbit Vivas’ shoulder when he was sliding into second. He’ll now be out for at least the next 10 days, but the Marlins have not given an exact timeline for his return as of Monday afternoon. They remain just 3.5 games out of the playoffs, so we don’t believe Edwards is at risk of being shut down just yet.

Mead no longer has a cast on his left wrist after fracturing it back on July 27th. It’s nice to see him playing catch without the cast on his glove hand, but we’ll need to see him hit before we have a better sense of exactly when he’s going to return to Boston’s lineup.
