Outman has been removed from Minnesota’s roster after hitting just .156/.229/.250 with zero homers and four steals over 49 games this season, while also striking out in just over 41 percent of his 70 plate appearances. The emergence of Kody Clemens as a viable outfield option seems to have made Outman expendable, especially since he wasn’t offering anything at the plate. At 29 years old, it’s difficult to image a path to a starting role anywhere based on his present trajectory.

Morris will be back in a low-leverage, non-fantasy relevant role for the Athletics. He has a 11.70 ERA in three appearances (one start) for West Sacramento this year.

Rashi threw two innings in Thursday’s game and allowed three hits and one earned run while throwing 43 pitches. He’s simply being exchanged for a fresh arm.

This was reported to be happening yesterday and we now have official confirmation. Wilson is unlikely to play again this year and can be dropped in any re-draft formats where you were holding out hope for the Sacramento home park to help him out. Based on reporting he seems likely to undergo some sort of shoulder surgery in the near future.

No stranger to the “replace Jacob Wilson” rodeo this year, Stefanic hit .400 in five plate appearances in an earlier appearance with the A’s when Wilson hit the injured list. The 30-year-old has hit .296/.405/.414 for Triple-A Las Vegas with six homers and nine stolen bases in 453 plate appearances.

It appears to just be a routine day off against tough left-hander Jesús Luzardo. Burleson is hitting .288/.355/.489 in 128 games this year with 21 homers and 93 RBI; he’s been a major reason the Cardinals have overachieved preseason expectations.

Andrew Vaughn is starting against tough Braves LHP Chris Sale. Yelich has been receiving plenty of days off down the stretch, so his fantasy managers in daily leagues should be used to this by now.

Barlow pitched in 11 games for Triple-A Omaha, carrying a 5.65 ERA with 15 walks in 14 1/3 innings. He’ll try to catch on elsewhere.

It seems likely that Simeon Woods Richardson, who hasn’t pitched since Saturday, will be the best bet to draw a bulk role here. Ultimately we wouldn’t recommend trying to stream the win here.

DFA’ed by the Royals last week, Morgan elected free agency after being sent outright to Triple-A. He’ll see if he can crack the back of the Yankees bullpen by the end of the season.

López has been down with left knee inflammation since late July. It sounds like he could return as a starting option for the Braves down the stretch as they try to figure out their best postseason rotation.
