Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Aaron Nola pitched 4 1/3 innings on Sunday against the White Sox, yielding five earned runs on six hits while striking out four.

Nola also allowed four walks in the no-decision, raising his ERA to 5.86 on the year. The 33-year-old rediscovered some velocity this season, but it hasn’t helped much, and his ERA is hovering around 6 dating back to last year. The two highest HR/9 rates of his career have come over the past two seasons. As usual, Nola’s ERA estimators paint a more optimistic picture going forward. He draws a tough matchup on the road in Milwaukee for his next start.

Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Max Fried (elbow) would have new imaging on his elbow “later in the week.”

This is noteworthy because Fried was expected to get the follow-up imaging on Tuesday, but it apparently did not happen. The left-hander has been throwing from flat ground, but he will need more imaging before he can be cleared to ramp up his progression. Until that happens, there’s no way to put a timeline on his return from a left elbow bone bruise that he suffered on May 13th.

Sabathia grasps pressure Knicks face to win title

June 10, 2026 12:00 PM

As the Knicks aim for their first title since 1973, CC Sabathia shares what it takes to win a championship in New York City and why Jalen Brunson's "even-keeled" leadership could be the difference-maker.

Austin Wells

NYY Catcher #28

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Austin Wells (neck) was doing baseball activities in New York on Wednesday.

Wells went on the injured list over the weekend with cervical headaches. Being back on the field and doing baseball activities suggests that this might be a minimum stint on the injured list for the 26-year-old.

Blake Dunn

CIN Right Fielder #59

Blake Dunn is not in the starting lineup for the Reds on Wednesday against the Padres.

This is Dunn’s first game on the bench since May 19th, starting in 18 straight games in the outfield. Over that stretch, he has hit .284/.318/.383 with one home run, nine runs scored, four RBI, and three steals. He’s more of a deep league asset given that he hits leadoffs in one of the best offensive environments in baseball. Dane Myers will start in center field and bat seventh on Wednesday.

Zach McCambley

CIN Starting Pitcher #62

Reds optioned RHP Zach McCambley to Triple-A Louisville

The 26-year-old allowed three runs on six hits in four innings across three appearances out of the bullpen for the Reds. His Triple-A numbers are much better, so we expect he’ll get another chance over the summer.

Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

Reds recalled RHP Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville

Petty was once a top prospect for the Reds, but he is pitching to a 6.17 ERA in 42 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season. His last two appearances for the Reds have been as a starter, but they don’t seem to need one right now, unless the Reds are planning to use him as a spot starter when they have six games in a row beginning on Friday.

Chandler Simpson

TB Left Fielder #14
Chandler Simpson is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Simpson returned on Tuesday after missing three days off and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. His lingering thumb injury may be why he’s being held out of the lineup on Wednesday, but the Red Sox are also throwing yet another left-handed pitcher. Austin Slater will make his third straight start in the outfield, and Ryan Vilade will make his fourth straight start, batting cleanup and playing left field.

Marcelo Mayer

BOS 2nd Baseman #11
Marcelo Mayer is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the Rays as he deals with neck and back spasms.

The Red Sox don’t seem worried about him needing an IL stint, but we have seen many players head to the injured list after a battle with back spasms. It would be unfortunate for Mayer, who has battled multiple injuries over his brief MLB career and was slashing .286/.323/.429 with one home run and six RBI over his last six games. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at shortstop and bat eighth with Andruw Monasterio at second base and hitting ninth.

Logan Porter

LAA Catcher #13

Angels selected the contract of Logan Porter from Triple-A Salt Lake

Porter was just signed to a minor league deal on Friday, but will now be activated after Sebastian Rivero got hurt on Tuesday night. The Angels will need to make a move to free up a spot on the 40-man roster, but it would likely just be moving Jack Kochanowicz to the 60-day injured list.

Alec Gamboa

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox optioned LHP Alec Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester

The left-hander acquitted himself well in the majors, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings across two appearances with three strikeouts and no baserunners allowed. The Red Sox needed to make room for Jake Bennett to be called up to start on Wednesday, but Gamboa should get another look this summer.

Jake Bennett

BOS Starting Pitcher #64

Red Sox recalled LHP Jake Bennett from Triple-A Worcester

This move was expected after Brayan Bello was demoted to Triple-A, but it is now official. Bennett allowed five runs on 11 hits in 10 1/3 innings in his first two MLB starts, including allowing four runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings against the Rays in his final outing before being demoted. He will get the Rays again on Wednesday and is not a recommended streamer. He will be on the 15-team radar in more advantageous matchups.
