    Macko is a 25-year-old left-handed pitcher who was moved to the bullpen this season. He has a 4.91 ERA in 22 innings for the Blue Jays, but he has shown strikeout upside in the minors as a starter before. Macko was Toronto’s 23rd-ranked prospect, according to Baseball America, in their midseason rankings.
  • TEX 2nd Baseman #8
    Smith was a darling for the Rangers in 2025 as a utility player, but he hit .213/.299/.272 in 154 plate appearances this year and has spent most of the season in Triple-A. Macko is a 25-year-old left-handed pitcher who was moved to the bullpen this season. He has a 4.91 ERA in 22 innings for the Blue Jays, but he has shown strikeout upside in the minors as a starter before, so it remains to be seen how the Rangers want to use him.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko is the lifeblood of our world. The planet bleeds green like you and me bleed red. Unfortunately the Jays considered him expendable as he had a 4.91 ERA in 22 innings while striking out 23. He’ll likely bounce back to the big-league staff at some point in the near future — he’s already been called up three times this year.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    With Patrick Corbin landing on the IL, Macko is able to rejoin the Toronto bullpen just five days after being demoted. He has a 5.03 ERA and a 21/9 K/BB in 19 2/3 innings this season.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #64
    Macko allowed two runs during his lone inning of work during Friday’s second-half opener against the White Sox. He’s allowed multiple runs in four consecutive relief outings to earn a ticket back to the minors. The -year-old rookie holds a pedestrian 5.03 ERA and 21/9 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings since May 18.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko is back for a second major league stint after posting a 1.50 ERA and a 12/2 K/BB in 12 innings during the first one. He’ll likely get most of his work in the middle innings of games.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko heads back to the minors with marquee free agent acquisition Dylan Cease coming off the injured list to start Tuesday’s game against the Phillies. The 25-year-old lefty compiled a strong 1.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12/2 K/BB ratio across 12 innings over 12 appearances during his first stint with Toronto. He’ll return at some point later this summer.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko drew the starting assignment in place of an injured Dylan Cease (hamstring) and managed to record five outs before turning things over to bulk reliever Austin Voth, who surrendered five runs over 3 1/3 frames. He figures to get at least one or two additional turns in Toronto’s rotation before Cease is ready to come off the injured list.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko gets the ball for his first career start after tossing four scoreless innings out of Toronto’s bullpen since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo earlier this month. The 25-year-old lefty is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes, especially in a tough road matchup at hitter-friendly Camden Yards.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old southpaw. Macko registered a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 19/8 K/BB ratio across 18 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A Buffalo. He’ll settle into a middle relief role for the Jays.

    Jac Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks.

    The encouraging news for fantasy managers is that Caglianone, who remains out of the lineup for the fourth consecutive game, was able to resume hitting prior to Tuesday’s game in Kansas City. The 23-year-old emerging middle-of-the-order force remains shut down from throwing after being diagnosed with a mild flexor strain in his left elbow over the weekend. It’ll be John Rave getting another opportunity in right field on Wednesday evening. It sounds like there’s a chance he’s able to return to Kansas City’s lineup at DH during their upcoming three-game series against the Red Sox that gets underway on Friday.

    Chase DeLauter (wrist) is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Orioles.

    DeLauter is back in right field and hitting second following a four-game absence with a right wrist sprain. The 24-year-old rookie has put together an excellent debut, hitting .294/.365/.458 with 56 runs scored, 13 homers, 60 RBI and 10 steals in 499 plate appearances over 120 games. He’s on pace to finish the season as a top-30 fantasy outfielder.

    Diamondbacks activated RHP Michael Soroka from the 15-day injured list.

    Soroka, back after missing two turns with shoulder inflammation, will pitch behind Zac Gallen tonight, even though he’s probably the better bet of the two. He has a 3.40 ERA in 18 starts this season.

    Aaron Judge is starting in right field again Wednesday against the Rockies.

    Judge went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and played six innings in right field in his return from the IL last night. There’s yet to be an update on how he’s feeling today, but as of last night, it sounded like he could exit early again tonight and then probably sit Thursday.

    Fairbanks, who missed the minimum 15 days with his latest recurrence of his hand issues, returns without the benefit of a rehab assignment. He’ll probably go right back to closing for the Marlins. Calvin Faucher picked up the team’s only save while he was out.
