Prelander Berroa

CWS Relief Pitcher #66

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Prelander Berroa will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Down goes a saves sleeper. Berroa, who was acquired from the Mariners a year ago, had a 3.32 ERA in 19 innings as a rookie last season. His wildness didn’t make him a great bet for this season, but he probably had the highest ceiling in the White Sox bullpen.

Omar Martinez

LAA Catcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Angels sent C Omar Martinez outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

It’s his first outright assignment, so he has to accept it. Martinez, who was up briefly in May to serve as a backup catcher, was removed from the 40-man roster a week ago.

Ryan Helsley

BAL Relief Pitcher #21
Ryan Helsley struck out two in a scoreless inning in his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Helsley, who is coming back from elbow inflammation, averaged 97.9 mph with his nine fastballs, which is just a tad down from his 98.7 mph average on the year. He might be activated after the off day Monday, though the Orioles might have him set up for Rico Garcia a time or two before returning him to the closer’s role.

Jarren Duran

BOS Left Fielder #16

Jarren Duran blasted a two-run homer on Saturday, lifting the Red Sox to a 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Duran provided some additional breathing room for Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman by crushing a no-doubter into the right-field seats at Fenway Park against Rangers reliever Peyton Gray in the top of the ninth inning. It was his 11th big fly of the season and first time leaving the yard in nine games dating back to May 31.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Wyatt Langford went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday in a loss to the Red Sox.

Langford opened the scoring by punching an RBI single into shallow center field against Red Sox starter Ranger Suarez with two outs in the opening frame. The 24-year-old outfielder has notched back-to-back multi-hit performances and is batting .250 (8-for-32) with one homer and three RBI in eight games since returning from the injured list back on June 5.

Aroldis Chapman

BOS Relief Pitcher #44

Aroldis Chapman tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday against the Rangers to record his 14th save of the season.

Chapman was summoned to protect a three-run lead in the final frame at Fenway Park and managed to work around a leadoff single from Wyatt Langford to pick up just his second save since the start of June. The 38-year-old southpaw would be a logical trade candidate if Boston falls out of playoff contention. He’s converted all 14 of his save chances this season to go along with an absurd 0.44 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 28/9 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings of work.

Ranger Suarez

BOS Starting Pitcher #55

Ranger Suarez posted seven strikeouts and allowed two runs over five innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Rangers.

Suarez allowed six hits and issued two walks, managing to keep Boston within striking distance for an eventual comeback win. The 30-year-old southpaw has rebounded from a couple poor performances at the end of May by allowing just three runs over 11 1/3 innings across two starts since the start of June. He boasts a strong 3.21 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 70/21 K/BB ratio across 70 innings over 13 starts in his Red Sox debut. He’ll face the Mariners in a challenging cross-country road tilt on Friday.

Jacob deGrom

TEX Starting Pitcher #48

Jacob deGrom recorded five strikeouts and gave up two runs over six innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Red Sox.

It was smooth sailing for deGrom his first time through Boston’s order, but they managed to tag him for a pair of run-scoring singles in the third inning, which were enough to saddle him with a no-decision. The 37-year-old fantasy ace has allowed just two runs combined over 17 innings across three starts since June 1. He’ll face off against the Padres at Globe Life Field on Friday.

Vinnie Pasquantino

KC 1st Baseman #9
Vinnie Pasquantino left Saturday’s game because of a hamate injury.

The Royals didn’t confirm that he broke the bone on his fifth-inning swing, but that’s pretty much the only hamate injury there is. If it is a break, he’ll miss at least four-to-six weeks. John Rave or Josh Rojas could replace him on the roster. Rave makes more sense, since Jac Caglianone will likely play a lot of first base.

Manny Machado

SD 3rd Baseman #13
Manny Machado slugged his 12th home run of the season on Saturday, lifting the Padres to a lopsided 9-3 win over the Orioles.

Machado took Orioles reliever Albert Suárez deep in the ninth inning to close out a five-homer afternoon for the Padres that included blasts by Jackson Merrill, Samad Taylor, Gavin Sheets and Rodolfo Durán. The 33-year-old veteran third baseman has hit a bit of a rough patch lately, batting .196 (9-for-46) with two homers and five RBI since the start of June.

Pete Alonso

BAL 1st Baseman #25

Pete Alonso went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two RBI on Saturday in a loss to the Padres.

Alonso delivered one of his strongest performances of the season on an otherwise forgettable afternoon for Baltimore. He took Padres starter Randy Vásquez deep with two outs in the opening frame and also added an RBI double in the seventh inning as part of a three-hit effort. The power-hitting 31-year-old is scorching hot of late, hitting .326 (15-for-46) with five homers and 12 RBI in 12 games since the start of June.
