Nathan Eovaldi

TEX Starting Pitcher #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nathan Eovaldi struck out eight over seven shutout innings on Wednesday in a win over the Rays.

Eovaldi authored a dominant performance in this one, registering an eye-popping 23 swinging strikes, while scattering just four hits and one walk over seven brilliant frames. The 34-year-old veteran righty remains a quality fantasy contributor on a per-start basis and holds a sparkling 1.38 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 11/2 K/BB ratio across 13 innings (two starts) this season. He’s in line for an extremely tasty matchup on Tuesday against the floundering Athletics in Arlington.

Kerry Carpenter

DET Right Fielder #30

Kerry Carpenter is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Rangers at Comerica Park.

As is often the case, Carpenter and Colt Keith find themselves starting on the bench against an opposing left-hander, in this case it’s MacKenzie Gore taking the hill for the Rangers. Jahmai Jones will start in his place in left field and will bat third for the Tigers on Friday evening in Motown.

Brandon Nimmo

TEX Right Fielder #24

Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) returned to the Rangers’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Tigers.

Nimmo was pulled from Wednesday’s game against the Yankees due to minor right hamstring tightness. He feels much better after an off-day though and will return to his regular post in right field. He’ll bat leadoff against Tigers’ right-hander Jack Flaherty on Friday evening in Motown.

Ryan Pepiot

TB Starting Pitcher #44

Tampa Bay Times’ Marc Topkin reports Ryan Pepiot will undergo hip surgery and miss the rest of the season.

Kevin Cash said that Pepiot felt instability in his hip while playing catch on Monday, and it turned out that this was exactly as bad as it sounded. Pepiot finishes the year without throwing a pitch in the major leagues. The 28-year-old will attempt a comeback in 2027. Pepiot was already on the 60-day injured list.

Trea Turner

PHI Shortstop #7
Trea Turner is not in Philadelphia’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Marlins.

No explanation given, so we’re assuming it’s just a rest day after playing both ends of a doubleheader on Thursday. Edmundo Sosa is batting fifth and playing shortstop in Turner’s absence.

Shawn Dubin

WSH Relief Pitcher #62

Nationals signed RHP Shawn Dubin to a minor-league contract.

He catches on after eight days on the free-agent market following his release from the Diamondbacks. He’ll likely be extra depth for the Nationals at Triple-A Rochester assuming he’s healthy.

Matt Wallner

MIN Right Fielder #38
Matt Wallner is not in Minnesota’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Blue Jays.

It’s not surprising that Wallner is sitting against a lefty, but that makes three of the last four games where he’s sat. Wallner is in a major funk, hitting .168/.275/.284 in 27 games so far. James Outman is hitting ninth in Wallner’s absence.

Jasson Domínguez

NYY Left Fielder #24

Jasson Dominguez (elbow) is not in Friday’s starting lineup for the Yankees against the Orioles.

The Yankees are still awaiting some clarity on Dominguez, but obviously this isn’t a good sign. Paul Goldschmidt is playing first base and leading off while Ben Rice plays DH in Dominguez’s absence tonight.

Nico Hoerner

CHC 2nd Baseman #2
Nico Hoerner left Friday’s game against the Diamondbacks with “left-sided neck tightness.”

Matt Shaw pinch-hit and took over at second base. This doesn’t sound especially serious at this point, but we’re sure we’ll get a real update at some point in the next 24 hours. Hoerner had already gotten a hit and scored a run, and was hitting .291/.370/.449 with four homers and seven stolen bases entering the game — he’s been one of the MVPs for fantasy baseball up to this point.

Easton McGee

MIL Starting Pitcher #50
Brewers recalled RHP Easton McGee from Triple-A Nashville.

With Brandon Woodruff on the injured list, McGee will hang around and soak up some low-leverage innings from the club if needed. It seems likely that Shane Drohan will either start or have a bulk role for the Brewers during what would have been Woodruff’s next turn through the rotation.

Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brewers placed RHP Brandon Woodruff on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

Woof. It’s not a surprise after Woodruff was pulled in the second inning of his last start with a major velocity drop. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Woodruff told him he doesn’t feel like he’s injured, but that it was a dead arm situation. We’ll see where this heads, but shoulder injuries for pitchers are not auspicious signs. The optimistic case is that Woodruff is able to shake this off and return in a few weeks with his regular velocity.
