JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cardinals SS prospect JJ Wetherholt went 4-for-5 with an RBI on Friday for Low-A Palm Beach.

Wetherholt was selected seventh overall in last month’s MLB Draft and was considered one of the most intriguing prospects from a fantasy perspective following a stellar collegiate career at West Virginia. The 21-year-old is getting a look at shortstop for now, but could wind up eventually moving over to the keystone. It’s encouraging to see him producing since he missed nearly half of his final collegiate season due to a hamstring injury.

Brett Baty

NYM 3rd Baseman #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Brett Baty (groin) is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against Atlanta.

Top prospect Ronny Mauricio will get another opportunity at the hot corner while Mark Vientos (hamstring) continues his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse. Baty, who has been slumping at the dish since the start of June, will sit out his second straight contest after suffering a groin injury during Sunday’s series finale against the Rays. He’s presumably day-to-day for now.

Richard Lovelady

FA Relief Pitcher #58
Twins LHP Richard Lovelady has elected free agency.

Lovelady opted out of his minor league contract with the Twins and will pursue a new opportunity on the open market. The 29-year-old journeyman latched on with Minnesota back in early April after making a pair of relief appearances for Toronto. He’s made 110 career appearances in the big leagues since 2019.

Nick Castellanos

PHI Right Fielder #8

Nick Castellanos is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Marlins.

Castellanos is back in right field and batting cleanup after being benched during Wednesday’s game by manager Rob Thomson for making a “inappropriate comment” after being pulled from Monday’s series opener against the Marlins.

Billy Cook

PIT 1st Baseman #25

Pirates recalled 1B/OF Billy Cook from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Cook joins the Pirates ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Marlins with Bryan Reynolds heading out on paternity leave for a couple days. It figures to be a short stint in the big leagues for the versatile 26-year-old, who got into 16 contests last year for Pittsburgh. He’s hit .271 with zero homers and 10 steals in 61 games this season at the Triple-A level.

Bryan Reynolds

PIT Center Fielder #10

Pirates placed OF Bryan Reynolds on the paternity list.

Technically, Reynolds is already out on paternity leave after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers after his wife went into labor with their third child. The 30-year-old outfielder will be away from the club for a couple days with Billy Cook coming up from Triple-A to take his spot on Pittsburgh’s roster.

Ryan Jeffers

MIN Catcher #27
Ryan Jeffers (hand) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Reds.

No surprise here after Jeffers was lifted from Tuesday’s battle after taking a foul ball off his throwing hand. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he’s merely dealing with a right hand contusion. He should be able to return at some point later this week once the swelling subsides. It’ll be veteran Christian Vázquez taking over the catching duties in his absence.

Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Royals.

Jung returns to Texas’ lineup at third base and batting sixth after getting two straight games off in an attempt to clear his head and reset at the dish. The 27-year-old slugger is hitting .172 (10-for-58) with zero homers and 19 punchouts over his last 15 games.

Josh Smith

TEX Shortstop #8
Josh Smith (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Royals.

Smith will sit out his second straight contest due to a lingering minor left hamstring issue. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy downplayed concern earlier this week and it sounds like the reigning American League Player of the Week will avoid a trip to the injured list. I’ll be Ezequiel Duran taking over at DH on Wednesday night in his absence.

Hunter Goodman

COL Catcher #15
Hunter Goodman is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Nationals.

Goodman takes a seat for just the third time since June 1. The 25-year-old slugging backstop has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball during that span, batting .350 (21-for-60) with seven round-trippers and 15 RBI over 15 contests. It’ll be rookie Braxton Fulford handling the catching duties on Wednesday night at Nationals Park.

Dane Myers

MIA Left Fielder #54

Dane Myers (elbow) is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Phillies.

Myers is back patrolling center field and batting sixth on Wednesday evening following a brief one-game absence after being hit by a pitch in the left elbow during Monday’s series opener. X-rays came back negative for any fractures and it doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward.
