  • BOS Relief Pitcher #80

    Richard Fitts was charged with six runs — five earned — over one inning on Monday in a loss to the Angels.
    Holy schnikes. Fitts coughed up a staggering three homers, including a gargantuan 454-foot blast to Mike Trout, and was lifted after just 39 pitches (24 strikes) in his second start back from the injured list. It’s a bit perplexing why the Red Sox didn’t give him a couple additional rehab starts, especially with Hunter Dobbins holding his own at the highest level. We’re optimistic on Fitts from a long-term perspective, but he’s simply not ready to help fantasy managers right now.
  • NYM 3rd Baseman #7

    Brett Baty is not in the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Reds.
    The 25-year-old infielder will start the second half of the season on the bench with left-hander Nick Lodolo on the mound for the Reds. Jeff McNeil will cover second base while Tyrone Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth for the Mets on Friday evening.
    Alvarez looking 'more like himself' in Triple-A
    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.
  • COL 2nd Baseman #39
    Rockies placed INF Thairo Estrada on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 11, with a left thumb sprain.
    On the day that the Rockies get their starting shortstop back from the injured list, the other half of their double play combination lands on the injured list with a left thumb sprain. That will spare Ryan Ritter from a demotion to Triple-A Albuquerque for at least a few days. The Rockies are hopeful that Estrada won’t require much longer than a minimum stint on the injured list.
  • COL Shortstop #14
    Rockies activated INF Ezequiel Tovar from the 10-day injured list.
    The 23-year-old shortstop will make his triumphant return to the Rockies’ lineup for Friday night’s second-half opener against the Twins. Before landing on the injured list with a left oblique strain in early June he had been hitting .258/.301/.406 with three homers, 10 RBI and a pair of stolen bases through his first 138 plate appearances on the season.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #27
    Edward Cabrera (elbow) threw a side session in Miami without issue on Thursday and has been cleared to make his next scheduled start.
    The 27-year-old hurler isn’t lined up to start during the first series of the second half against the Royals, but he will slot into the Marlins’ rotation during next week’s series against the Padres — most likely on Tuesday. Fantasy managers who had been waiting patiently on an update on Cabrera can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #54
    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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
