  • BAL Relief Pitcher #39

    Andrew Kittredge (knee) worked a scoreless inning and struck out two in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Norfolk.
    Kittredge was able to work in back-to-back games for the first time in his rehab assignment. The 35-year-old has yet to pitch in a game for the Orioles, but appears close to a return. Baltimore could use all the help it can get.
  • TEX Catcher #11

    Kyle Higashioka hit a solo homer to tie the game in the ninth inning against the Astros on Saturday in an extra-inning loss for the Rangers.
    Higashioka homered off Josh Hader in the ninth inning with two outs to keep the game going, but the Rangers were unable to complete the comeback. The 35-year-old has done a nice job behind the plate for Texas, but his .253/.290/.358 slash along with four homers and 25 RBI doesn’t do much from a fantasy perspective.
    Players to watch in MLB All-Star Futures Game
    James Schiano spotlights the rising stars to watch in this weekend's 2025 All-Star Futures Game in Atlanta.
  • HOU Shortstop #38
    Zack Short hit a walk-off single in the 11th to give the Astros a 5-4 win over the Rangers on Saturday.
    Short came in as a pinch-runner, and then came up big with a one-out single to score Cam Smith to give Houston the win. The 30-year-old journeymen has done a decent job since being promoted a little over a week ago with a .278/.350/.389 slash, but obviously that doesn’t offer much fantasy value even before considering his lack of playing time.
  • HOU Relief Pitcher #71
    Josh Hader blew a save while allowing a run over an inning of work against the Rangers on Saturday.
    Hader looked like he was going to breeze through the outing to pick up a save, but instead blew his second-straight game when he allowed a solo homer against Kyle Higashioka. Yes, that Kyle Higashioka. He’s now allowed runs in three of his last four appearances, and his 1.67 ERA entering July is now up to 2.53. There’s no reason to panic just yet, but there’s every reason to be disappointed in those results as of late.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #59
    Framber Valdez struck out 10 over six innings while allowing just an unearned run, but didn’t factor in the decision Saturday against the Rangers.
    Valdez looked like he was going to pick up a win in his final start before the All-Star break, but Josh Hader blew a save to prevent that from happening. It was still an outstanding effort from the 31-year-old; one that lowered his ERA to 2.75 over 121 innings of work. Valdez was snubbed from the All-Star game, but he’ll be back on the mound next weekend against the Mariners.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #48
    Jacob deGrom allowed two runs while striking out eight in his six innings of work in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.
    DeGrom was able to hold the Astros to just four hits, but two of those left the park on solo shots. The 37-year-old has been sensational in 2025 with a 2.32 ERA that has been backed by a 113/24 K/BB ratio across 19 starts and 112 1/3 innings.
  • SD Relief Pitcher #56
    Jeremiah Estrada worked a scoreless ninth to get a save Saturday against the Phillies.
    With Robert Suarez not available after working in back-to-back games, the Padres to Estrada, and he was up to the challenge. It’s the third save of the season for the 26-year-old, and his ERA is a solid 2.93 over the first 94 games of the season. If Estrada ever got the chance to close, there’d be a lot to like.
  • SD Center Fielder #3
    Jackson Merrill homered twice while helping the Padres to a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Saturday.
    Merrill tied the game twice Saturday; first on a two-run homer off Zack Wheeler in the second, and again in the sixth with a solo shot off Wheeler. The second-year star has seven homers on the season, and the pair of roundtrippers ups his season slash to .263/.326/.417 with just a game left before the All-Star break.
  • SD Starting Pitcher #11
    Yu Darvish allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Saturday.
    Darvish’s second start of the season was similiar to the first; one that had some good moments, but not enough to call it a successful start from a fantasy perspective. He walked three while striking out two, but he was able to push his pitch count to 83 in the contest. Darvish is a good bet to show more consistency and miss more bats over the second half of 2025.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #45
    Zack Wheeler struck out six over six innings of four-run baseball in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.
    Wheeler gave up three of his runs in the second inning, with two of those coming on a two-run blast by Jackson Merrill. He finished the first half with a 2.36 ERA, 154/26 K/BB ratio and 9-3 record over his 122 innings. Wheeler will get a chance to pitch in the All-Star Game in Atlanta on Tuesday, and then face off against the Angels to begin the second half.
  • PHI 3rd Baseman #28
    Alec Bohm left Saturday’s game against the Padres with a bruised left rib cage.
    Bohm exited the contest shortly after he was hit in the rib cage on a pitch from Yu Darvish. The Phillies will probably take extra precaution with the All-Star break beginning after Sunday, but there should be more information on his availability before that contest.
