The 25-year-old recently was on the injured list with a knee injury but was activated a couple weeks ago. He hasn’t pitched in the majors this season, but did last season with the Phillies where he pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed seven earned runs on five hits.

Fulmer is back after missing two weeks with inflammation in his pitching elbow. The 30-year-old was having his first real taste of MLB success, and if he gets a chance to start he’d be worth streaming consideration — depending on the matchup, of course.

Walston, 23, is back with the Diamondbacks moving on from Dylan Floro. The 23-year-old lefty has a chance to make a start with Arizona before the season ends, but more than likely comes up as a multi-inning reliever.

Well, that didn’t work out. Floro was acquired at the deadline to boost the Diamondbacks’ bullpen, but all he boosted was his ERA. He came to Arizona with a 2.06 mark, but he was awful in Arizona with a 9.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 15 appearances. Floro will likely see interest on the waiver wire, and will hit free agency if he goes unclaimed.

Rodgers was scratched from the lineup Saturday and isn’t in the lineup for Sunday’s contest, as well. The 28-year-old second baseman could be back in the lineup for Monday’s affair, but the Rockies will likely take precautions with less than two weeks left in the season.

González was sent outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre back in June, and now he’ll look for a new opportunity. Don’t be surprised if that move doesn’t come until the offseason, but there’s a chance someone could give him an opportunity for the final couple of weeks of 2024.

Fitzgerald will end up missing the entire series against the Padres while dealing with tightness in his lower back. The 27-year-old will get at least one more day of recovery with Donovan Walton starting at second base and Brett Wisley handling shortstop.

Blalock is sent down to make room for Cal Quantrill with Quantrill being activated off the injured list. The 23-year-old has registered a 5.79 ERA and 20/19 K/BB in seven appearances — six of the starts with the Rockies after being traded from the Brewers — and 29 2/3 innings.

Quantrill is back and will make a start after missing a minimum stint on the injured list with triceps inflammation. The right-hander will not be a recommended fantasy streamer for the series finale against Chicago.

Lindor missed his first game of the year Saturday while dealing with tightness in his back, but the 30-year-old will be back in action for the series finale against Philadelphia. It’s most welcome news for the Mets, fantasy managers and people who like watching really good baseball players.

That will make three straight games missed for Abrams after being scratched Friday because of the shoulder injury he suffered Thursday. The 23-year-old should still be considered day-to-day, but it’s that point in the year where day-to-day because a little less likely with so little of the season left. Nasim Nuñez gets the start at shortstop while Abrams gets better.
