No real surprise here since Anderson has hit .205/.258/.241 with zero homers and one steal in 90 plate appearances over 31 games this season for the Angels. His days in Los Angeles were always going to be numbered after the club signed versatile veteran Chris Taylor earlier this week. He’ll most likely pass through waivers and end up on the free agent wire.

Ribalta could potentially make it back to Washington’s bullpen before the conclusion of the regular season, but there is zero reason for them to rush him back. The 28-year-old hit the injured list unexpectedly after experiencing forearm inflammation over the weekend. The positive news is that he’s not facing a lengthy absence.

Sasaki hit the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger roughly two weeks ago. It sounds like the issue has resolved itself to the point that he’ll be able to take the ball again for the final two weeks of the season.

Díaz is slated to make back-to-back appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City this week before he’s potentially activated from the injured list. The 32-year-old former elite closer has been on the shelf with neck inflammation since late August. It feels highly unlikely that he’ll be thrust into high-leverage spots for the Dodgers right away.

It sounds like there’s a decent chance that Swanson is back for the final week of the regular season after getting a couple rehab contests under his belt. The 32-year-old shortstop hit the injured list with an oblique strain back in mid-August.

Langeliers is on track to return at some point next week and will be limited to DH exclusively after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee back in July. It was believed to be a season-ending procedure at the time, but Langeliers has made a rapid recovery. He’s obviously worth picking up in any fantasy leagues where he’s available as a decent catching option for the final week-plus of the season.

Dunn cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. The 29-year-old went 1-for-11 at the plate during a nine-game stint with the Rays.

Hunt hits the open market after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The 27-year-old got into a pair of games for the Padres earlier this season.

Carroll was dropped to the fifth spot in Arizona’s lineup over the weekend as his second-half struggles continue. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone is hitting just .215 with six homers and 11 steals in 48 games since the All-Star break. It’ll be versatile Tim Tawa taking over in right field in his absence. There should be an update on his status following the contest, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Suárez heads to the open market after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The 28-year-old lefty compiled a lackluster 5.87 ERA across 61 1/3 innings for the Athletics after being acquired from the Mariners back in mid-May.

Winn returns to St. Louis’ lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Giants following a two-week absence due to a fractured left thumb. The 24-year-old shortstop has hit just .238/.314/.326 with 49 runs scored, five homers, 51 RBI and 10 steals in 490 plate appearances this season. He’s at shortstop and hitting eighth on Tuesday night at Oracle Park.
