  • CHC Relief Pitcher #37

    Porter Hodge (oblique, hip) will throw live batting practice with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.
    Hodge threw a bullpen on Friday, so this is the next step for him. After the live batting practice, he’ll begin a rehab assignment and should be back in Chicago’s bullpen by the end of the month. He likely won’t unseat Daniel Palencia right away, but he should return to the high-leverage mix for the Cubs.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) will likely make his next start this week in the majors.
    Eovaldi will skip a rehab assignment entirely and jump back into Texas’ rotation mix after making it through Saturday’s live batting practice session without any issues or setbacks. The 35-year-old veteran will likely have some workload limitation from a pitch count standpoint in his return outing, but it’s a boost for fantasy managers that he’s coming back. He’s been out since late May working his way back from triceps fatigue.
    What's next for demoted Red Sox prospect Campbell?
    A tough couple months prompted a demotion for Red Sox prospect Kristian Campbell, but James Schiano remains confident he'll find his way in Boston -- and for fantasy managers.
  • SF 3rd Baseman #26
    Matt Chapman (hand) could resume swinging a bat on Tuesday.
    Chapman said Sunday that he got his splint off on Friday. The 32-year-old defensive wizard hit the injured list back in early June with right hand inflammation and isn’t expected to return until around early-to-mid July. There’s zero incentive for the Giants to rush him back and risk a setback.
  • LAA Shortstop #9
    Zach Neto is on the bench for Sunday’s series finale against the Astros.
    It appears to be a routine maintenance day for Neto, who has started every game for the Angels since May 26. The 24-year-old burgeoning star has been excellent this season since returning from the injured list with 10 homers and 12 steals in 58 games. It’ll be veteran Kevin Newman taking a turn at shortstop on Sunday afternoon in his place.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher
    Athletics selected the contract of RHP Jack Perkins from Triple-A Las Vegas.
    Perkins earns his first shot in the majors after posting a strong 2.86 ERA with a 68/20 K/BB ratio across across 44 innings (nine starts) this season at the Triple-A level. The unheralded fifth-round pick from the 2022 MLB Draft figures to operate in long relief initially.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #56
    Athletics optioned RHP Anthony Maldonado to Triple-A Las Vegas.
    Maldonado has been up-and-down this season as middle relief depth for the Athletics, allowing eight runs over six innings across six appearances in the big leagues.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher #53
    Athletics transferred RHP Gunnar Hoglund to the 60-day injured list.
    It’s merely a procedural move as Hoglund is expected to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing hip surgery last week.
  • ATH 1st Baseman #16
    Nick Kurtz is batting cleanup for the third straight game on Sunday against the Guardians.
    Kurtz has gone deep three times over his last four games and is hitting .250 (11-for-44) with five homers and 10 RBI over 11 games since returning from the injured list back on June 9. The 22-year-old top prospect boasts some of the most impressive over-the-fence pop in the game and is showing why he was the fourth-overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. He projects as a middle-of-the-order force for years to come with the Athletics.
  • HOU Right Fielder #11
    Cam Smith is batting cleanup on Sunday against the Angels.
    Smith has been on a heater this month, batting .321 (18-for-56) with two homers, 10 RBI and one steal over his last 15 games to earn a shot in the middle of Houston’s lineup with Isaac Paredes and Yainer Diaz getting a breather during Sunday’s series finale in Los Angeles.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #12
    Casey Mize left Sunday’s start against the Rays with a trainer.
    It’s worth noting that the temperature was hovering around 90 degrees at first pitch down in Tampa Bay, so it might be a heat-related departure. Mize exited after allowing a leadoff single to Junior Caminero in the sixth inning. He had limited Tampa Bay to just one run over five frames to open the contest. He struck out five and didn’t hand out a free pass. There should be an update on his status shortly.
  • LAD Left Fielder #37
    Teoscar Hernández is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Nationals.
    It appears to be a routine off day for Hernández with Andy Pages moving over to right field and Hyeseong Kim patrolling center field. The other notable change for Los Angeles is rookie Dalton Rushing handling the catching duties with Will Smith getting a well-deserved day off.
