Laureano landed on the injured list earlier in the week with right hip inflammation and now it looks like he’s going to miss considerable time. The Padres announced that he’s expected to miss 4-5 months after undergoing surgery to repair his labrum. This is very likely to end his 2026 season.

Wilson languished on the open market for roughly 24 hours before heading back to Milwaukee on a brand-new pact. The 28-year-old allowed four runs over 13 2/3 innings after signing with the Brewers last month. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots as a multi-inning reliever over the final two months.

Richardson loses his spot with Milwaukee after tossing 1 2/3 scoreless frames in relief against the Padres on Monday night. The 26-year-old righty figures to pass through waivers unclaimed.

Okamoto winds up being scratched for the second straight game due to a knee issue. It’s fair to wonder if he’ll require a trip to the injured list or the Blue Jays are merely being cautious. It’ll be rookie Charles McAdoo, who homered in his return to the big leagues on Monday night, taking over at third base once again.

Anthony isn’t quite ready yet, but he’s on the precipice of facing live pitching again, according to Tracy. He added that Anthony has progressed to hitting off a Trajekt machine, which is ostensibly his final step before a live batting practice session. The 22-year-old prodigy has been on the shelf working his way back from a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger since early May. It sounds like there’s a realistic possibility that he’s back in Boston at some point in September.

Hanner gets his first opportunity with the Yankees after being added to the club’s 40-man roster last month. The 27-year-old has pitched to an encouraging 2.10 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 61/24 K/BB ratio across 51 1/3 innings on the doorstep of the big leagues this season. He’ll get a look in low-leverage duty during his first taste of the majors.

No word yet regarding how much time Castro will miss. The 27-year-old was pitching extremely well in low-leverage spots for New York, allowing one run over 6 1/3 innings of work this season.

There was some optimism that Perdomo would be able to give it a go after making an early exit from Monday’s series opener with left knee soreness. The 26-year-old receives some additional time off to rest and recover with veteran Ildemaro Vargas taking over at shortstop with recently acquired Lars Nootbaar moving up to the leadoff spot in his absence. Perdomo appears likely to avoid the injured list and remains day-to-day for now.

Harper is back patrolling right field after being limited to DH in three of Philadelphia’s last four games as a result of knee soreness. It doesn’t appear to be a massive concern, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the final few weeks, especially since playing right field on a regular basis is going to result in more wear and tear than usual.

Martin’s next outing has been moved up a couple days after he threw just 23 pitches over one inning during a rain-shortened start against the Guardians on Sunday.

McFarlane bolsters Philadelphia’s overworked bullpen heading into Tuesday’s game against the Cardinals. The 25-year-old made his big-league debut last month before being shipped back to the minors. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots for the Phillies.
