Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Vaughn Grissom contributed a two-run homer and an RBI single in the Angels’ 11-4 win over the Rockies on Wednesday.

Tonight’s homer was hit 106.8 mph off Michael Lorenzen. Grissom’s .246/.325/.410 line isn’t spectacular, but his 47 percent hard-hit rate, in combination with a tiny 11 percent strikeout rate, is very impressive. It seems doubly painful that the Red Sox traded Kyle Harrison for Caleb Durbin when they could have just gone forward with Grissom instead.

Justin Verlander

DET Starting Pitcher #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Justin Verlander (hip) will pitch in a simulated game on Monday in Houston.

Verlander continues to make strides toward a return to the Tigers’ rotation. If all goes well with Monday’s outing, there’s a chance that he could return for next weekend’s series against the White Sox. It’s unclear if the Tigers plan to go to a six-man rotation or if they’ll work out a piggyback situation with a pair of their starters upon Verlander’s return.

Brady Basso

ATH Relief Pitcher #66

Athletics recalled LHP Brady Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas.

With Joey Estes getting optioned out on Sunday, Basso will add a fresh arm to the A’s bullpen for at least a few days. The 28-year-old southpaw has registered a 6.75 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and a 1/1 K/BB ratio over 2 2/3 innings in three appearances with the big league club this season.

Joey Estes

ATH Starting Pitcher #68

Athletics optioned RHP Joey Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Estes made his 2026 debut against the Rockies on Saturday, giving up four runs over 4 1/3 innings of work. With Aaron Civale set to return from the injured list this week though, he became expendable. Brady Basso was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move to add a fresh arm to the Athletics’ bullpen.

Aramis Garcia

AZ Catcher #66

Diamondbacks sent C Aramis Garcia outright to Triple-A Reno.

The Diamondbacks had been carrying Garcia as a luxury third catcher until he was designated for assignment on Friday. He’ll continue to serve as extra catching depth at Triple-A Reno.

Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize will have his next start pushed back to Wednesday after Sunday’s game against the Guardians was rained out.

Mize had been slated to be activated from the injured list and return on Sunday, but the Tigers will instead stay on schedule with Troy Melton and Framber Valdez for the first two games against the Astros in Houston, with Mize working the finale on Sunday.

Seiya Suzuki

CHC Right Fielder #27

Seiya Suzuki (knee) was scratched from the Cubs’ starting lineup on Sunday.

The Cubs had planned on having Suzuki return to the lineup on Sunday after exiting on Saturday due to discomfort in his right knee. They opted to err on the side of caution though and decided to give him an extra day off. He’s still considered day-to-day.

Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32
Sunday’s scheduled contest between the Tigers and Guardians was postponed due on inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Friday, September 3. Expect Sunday’s scheduled starters — Casey Mize and Gavin Williams — to work for their respective clubs on Monday and Tuesday.

Ty Adcock

SD Relief Pitcher #52

Padres designated RHP Ty Adcock for assignment.

The 29-year-old hurler gets bumped from the Padres’ 40-man roster to make room for Blake Hunt on Sunday. Adcock has made 11 appearances across three minor league levels this season, posting a 7.15 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 15/6 K/BB ratio over 11 1/3 innings. There’s a decent chance that he slips through waivers unclaimed and continues to function as extra bullpen depth for the Padres.

Blake Hunt

SD Catcher #12

Padres selected the contract of C Blake Hunt from Triple-A El Paso.

The 27-year-old backstop earns his first promotion to the big leagues after toiling in the minors for nine seasons. He has appeared in 15 games at the minor league level this season, slashing .289/.431/.533 with three homers, eight RBI and a 12/9 K/BB ratio over 58 plate appearances. He’ll add depth behind the plate with Freddy Fermin (concussion) on the injured list.

Freddy Fermin

SD Catcher #54

Padres placed C Freddy Fermin on the 7-day concussion injured list.

Fermin was hit in the head by an errant warm-up toss from Yuki Matsui during Saturday’s game. He’ll need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s eligible to return. Blake Hunt was promoted from Triple-A El Paso to take his place on the Padres’ active roster.
