    Outfielder Brewer Hicklen has joined the Braves as the 27th man for the Little League Classic.

    Hicklen is back for a day after spending the last four weeks in Triple-A. He has hit .368 (7-for-19) with four doubles, three RBI and an 8/4 K/BB ratio in his limited action with the Braves this season.
Pages heads to IL, no longer fantasy relevant
Eric Samulski gives the latest on Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages as he was placed on IL and will no longer be relevant for fantasy managers as he is expected to be out most of the remainder of the regular season.

    This means Brewer Hicklen will remain with the team after being the 27th man for the doubleheader. Jarvis had been starting at shortstop for the Braves for much of the summer, but his playing time had lessened in recent weeks, and the production simply hasn’t been there. Mauricio Dubon will take over as the primary shortstop in Atlanta for the remainder of the season.
  • ATL Center Fielder #53
    The 30-year-old went 7-for-19 in eight games for the Braves. He will return to Triple-A, where he will resume his role as organizational depth.
  • ATL Center Fielder #53
    The 30-year-old rookie and Huntsville, Alabama native Hicklen is becoming a bit of a folk hero. He and fellow bottom of the order mate Jim Jarvis hit back-to-back doubles in the ninth inning that helped catalyze a six-run Braves rally which won them the game. He scorched that double at 104 mph and had another batted ball at 100 mph earlier. After being called up 10 days ago, this was his fifth start out of seven games and his second consecutive start even after incumbent right fielder Mike Yastrzemski was activated off the injured list. This hot stretch will likely be short lived with Ronald Acuña Jr. due back soon, but Hicklen has made his presence felt during this opportunity.
  • ATL Center Fielder
    Hicklen gets the call to join Atlanta’s outfield mix just prior to the All-Star break with Mike Yastrzemski landing on the injured list with elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old has appeared in 10 games between the Tigers, Brewers and Royals since 2022.
  • ATL Left Fielder #50
    Hicklen could have opted out of his deal with Atlanta, but the 30-year-old is now on the 40-man roster. He’s having an impressive season in the International League, as he’s hit 316/.381/.519 in Gwinnett with 11 homers and 21 stolen bases. He could be a bench option for the Braves by the end of 2026.
  • ATL Left Fielder #50
    Hicklen bolsters Atlanta’s outfield depth behind Ronald Acuña Jr., Michael Harris II and Jurickson Profar heading into next season after spending time with the Phillies, Tigers and Brewers this past season. The 29-year-old got into one contest for Detroit and picked up his first big-league hit during that one. He’s likely ticketed for Triple-A Gwinnett, but figures to compete for a bench spot in spring training.
  • PHI Right Fielder #50
    Hicklen had been designated for assignment earlier in the week but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Phillies for the time being. The 29-year-old has hit .221/.318/.403 with 16 homers, 56 RBI and 25 stolen bases in 340 plate appearances at the Triple-A level on the season.
  • PHI Right Fielder #50
    Hicklen loses his spot on Philadelphia’s 40-man roster with the club needing to bring up infielder Rafael Lantigua as emergency infield depth. The 29-year-old has spent the last few weeks at Triple-A Lehigh Valley after coming over from the Tigers in a late-July trade.
  • PHI Right Fielder #50
    Hicklen heads to Triple-A Lehigh Valley as additional outfield depth for Philadelphia leading into next week’s trade deadline. The 29-year-old was jettisoned from Detroit’s 40-man roster earlier this week. He went 2-for-3 with a stolen base back on May 8 during his lone game in the majors this season.
  • DET Right Fielder #50
    Hicklen was removed from Detroit’s 40-man roster on Wednesday to make room for pitching prospect Troy Melton. The 29-year-old outfielder got into one game for the Tigers back on May 8, going 2-for-3 with a stolen base.

    Blue Jays placed RHP Shane Bieber on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 21, with right teres major inflammation.

    This is a nasty surprise. Bieber had allowed just one run in each of his last two starts, taking him to 5-2 with a 4.53 ERA in 11 starts overall. No word yet on his chances of making it back before the end of the season, but it’s probably safe to drop him. The Jays could turn the rotation spot over to Simeon Woods Richardson for now or perhaps start the newly recalled Chad Dallas on Wednesday.

    Blue Jays recalled RHP Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.

    The 25-year-old Dallas has given up seven runs over 7 2/3 innings in four stints with the Blue Jays this season. He can be optioned to the minors just once before having to go on waivers.

    Nationals designated RHP Trevor Williams for assignment.

    The move makes room for waiver claim Matt Waldron on the active roster. Williams had posted a 2.65 ERA in 17 innings out of the pen since returning from elbow surgery last month, but since he’s 34 and a free agent at season’s end, the Nationals decided to take a look at someone younger.

    St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Derrick Goold reports that the Cardinals are placing Masyn Winn (thumb) on the 10-day injured list.

    Winn has missed the last four games with a thumb injury, so the team can backdate the IL stint. JJ Wetherholt will continue to serve as the regular shortstop, with Ramon Urias and Nolan Gorman potentially forming a platoon at second base until Winn returns.

    Cardinals recalled INF Nolan Gorman from Triple-A Memphis.

    It’s expected that Masyn Winn will land on the injured list in a corresponding move. The Cardinals have been working on Gorman’s approach and mechanics in the minors, tweaking his batting stance and swing a bit. The power has been there in August, where he has hit seven home runs with a .903 OPS, but he continues to swing and miss a ton with a 37.8 percent strikeout rate in August as well. Even if Gorman gets regular at-bats with the big league club, it’s hard to see him producing much fantasy value unless all you care about are home runs.

    Rays promoted C prospect Caden Bodine to Triple-A Durham

    Bodine, who is the 51st-ranked prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, came over to the Rays as part of the Shane Baz deal this offseason. He has already played in three levels for Tampa Bay this year, most recently hitting .316/.397/.447 with five home runs, 33 RBI, and four steals in 37 games at Double-A. Bodine was one of the best pitch framers in the 2025 draft and could be a complement to Liam Hicks next season since Hicks is not a great defensive catcher.

    Abner Uribe (elbow) and JoJo Romero (appendectomy) will begin their rehab assignments at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday.

    Uribe was diagnosed with a flexor strain on August 14th, so he has not been sidelined for long at all. Romero had an emergency appendectomy in the middle of July, so he might need a bit longer to ramp back up. However, both of them figure to be key pieces of the Brewers’ bullpen by the end of the season.

    Justin Steele (elbow) said he “absolutely expects to pitch for the Chicago Cubs this year,” according to The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney.

    Steele underwent elbow surgery in April of 2025 and then dealt with a flexor strain earlier this season, which is why he still has not pitched this season. The left-hander has begun facing hitters this week, which means it’s highly unlikely that he will return as a starter. Cubs manager Craig Counsell even said, “We’re not going to skip steps. He rightfully should be (focused on returning this season), but we have a lot of steps to go before we get there.” There likely won’t be much fantasy value with Steele this season, but his pitching in relief would be beneficial for the Cubs and be nice for fantasy managers to see before 2027 drafts.
