Rafael Ortega

NYM Left Fielder #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mets signed OF Rafael Ortega to a minor league contract.

Ortega was with the Mets back in 2023 and will return after spending 2024 with the White Sox. The 33-year-old only appeared in 14 MLB games for the White Sox this year but did hit .289 with 11 home runs and 17 steals in 84 Triple-A games. He’ll simply be a veteran presence to provide depth in the Mets outfield.

Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Max Fried (blister) told reporters on Friday that he has felt good playing catch since his blister issue popped up and he’s hopeful that he’ll be able to start during the team’s upcoming series against the Blue Jays.

Fried had been scheduled to start the second half opener on Friday night, but he and the Yankees wanted to give his blister a few extra days to calm down. It sounds like if he continues to progress he’ll slot into the team’s rotation early next week, but a backdated stint on the injured list remains a possibility if it continues to linger.

Alvarez looking 'more like himself' in Triple-A

July 18, 2025 02:58 PM

Francisco Alvarez has found his bat in Triple-A after a "shocking," yet deserved demotion, and James Schiano details how the Mets catcher is looking "more like himself" after significant regression.

Alek Manoah

TOR Starting Pitcher #6

Alex Manoah (elbow) is scheduled to make his next minor league rehab start at High-A Dunedin on Sunday.

The 27-year-old right-hander continues to progress nicely in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. He threw 22 pitches his last time out in a Florida Complex League on Monday, so expect him to extend that a bit further during Sunday’s outing. He could be an option to join the Jays’ rotation at some point in August barring any setbacks.

Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #5

Daulton Varsho (hamstring) is scheduled to play in the outfield at High-A Dunedin on Friday evening.

The Jays want to get Varsho somewhere between three-to-five innings in the outfield on Friday night as they continue to ease him back into game action. He’s expected to remain at Dunedin through the weekend before moving his rehab assignment to Triple-A Buffalo next week. It remains to be seen just how many games he’ll require before he’s ready to rejoin the Jays.

Bowden Francis

TOR Relief Pitcher #44

Bowden Francis (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing after suffering a setback.

The 29-year-old hurler felt a “bit cranky shoulder-wise” according to manager John Schneider, so the team will back off of him for the next 10 days in an effort to get that to calm down. It sounds like he may be facing a lengthy absence here, as even when he is cleared to resume throwing it’s going to take a while for Francis to build back up.

Ryan Burr

TOR Relief Pitcher #43

Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider told reporters on Friday that right-hander Ryan Burr will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.

The expectation had already been that Burr would miss the remainder of the season due to his right rotator cuff strain after he was placed directly on the 60-day injured list last week, but now it’s official. No timetable from the Jays yet on how long his recovery will take.

Max Kranick

NYM Starting Pitcher #32

Mets’ manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Friday that right-hander Max Kranick will require Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.

It will unfortunately be the second time in three years that the 27-year-old hurler will require the procedure. He’ll miss the remainder of the 2025 season and the majority of the 2026 campaign as well while recovering from the procedure.

Dylan Crews

WSH Right Fielder #3

Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo told reporters Friday that Crews (oblique) is getting closer to a rehab assignment.

Crews has been out of action since the middle of May with a left oblique strain, and it’s unlikely this will be a short rehab stint for the 23-year-old. Still, it’s a positive sign that one of the top young outfield talents in baseball is getting closer to a return. His numbers before the injury were less-than-desirable, but there’s enormous upside in Crews’ right-handed bat.

Corbin Martin

BAL Starting Pitcher #48

Orioles signed RHP Corbin Martin to a one-year contract.

Martin was designated for assignment after the break, and he elected free agency after being sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk. The right-hander is back with Baltimore — for now — as a multi-inning option.

Derek Law

WSH Relief Pitcher #58

Derek Law underwent surgery to repair a tear in his flexor tendon and will miss the rest of the 2025 season.

Law will not only miss the remainder of this season, but is expected to not be ready until the middle of 2026. He’s a free agent after the conclusion of the 2025 campaign, so he’ll likely be looking at an incentive-laden deal with his new club or a reunion with the Nationals.

Steven Kwan

CLE Center Fielder #38

Steven Kwan is not in the starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Athletics.

Kwan will get a day off to open the second half of the season against the A’s. The 27-year-old rests with Nolan Jones handling left field and hitting fifth against southpaw JP Sears. Kwan should be back to hitting at the top of the lineup Saturday.
