González provides Seattle with a fresh arm for the final two contests of a four-game series against Baltimore. The 26-year-old tossed 5 2/3 scoreless frames over four appearances for the Mariners last month during his first taste of the majors.

Bloss is making his way back from Tommy John surgery, so he also walked two and struck out three in his four innings. He threw 39 of 65 pitches for strikes, and all of his damage came on a two-run home run from Dustin Harris. This was Bloss’ first start at Triple-A after making three starts in Single-A and one start in Double-A. With Max Scherzer (back) continuing to battle injuries, Bloss could be an option for the Blue Jays over the summer.

Ullola allowed two hits but struck out one and avoided any damage. This is his sixth scoreless outing in seven appearances since being shifted into the bullpen. He did have one poor outing in that span, so his total stats as a reliever are three runs allowed on six hits in 6 2/3 innings with a 9/5 K/BB ratio. It’s not flawless work, but it’s good enough that he could join the Astros bullpen at some point over the summer.

Phillips allowed one hit and one walk, but also struck out a batter and didn’t let any runs cross the plate. In 5 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season, he has allowed on runs on five hits with a 5/4 K/BB ratio. Obviously, command is going to be the last thing to return after Tommy John surgery, but Phillips looks close to returning to the Dodgers’ bullpen.

Holmes fractured his fibula on May 15th when he was hit by a comebacker. The original timeline was that he would miss three months, and that appears to be holding. If Holmes begins throwing in July, he could conceivably return to the Mets in the early part of August.

Báez, who put together an unreal four-homer performance earlier this week, is arguably the most intriguing power/speed combo fantasy prospect on the doorstep of the majors, which makes him worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats. The 22-year-old leads the entire International League with 24 round-trippers through 64 games. He’s also chipped in 12 stolen bases during that span. There are some lingering concerns in the contact department since he’s struck out nearly 31 percent of the time at the Triple-A level this season. Still, he offers enough fantasy-relevant skills that fantasy managers should be willing to overlook the contact issues. He figures to get his opportunity with the Cardinals at some point soon.

The central question for fantasy managers is how Ingle fits into Cleveland’s lineup since they swung a trade for defensive-oriented backstop Patrick Bailey last month. The 24-year-old slugging prospect has homered 12 times in 47 games this season and could fill a multi-position role with the Guardians, splitting time between catcher, DH and left field. He’s an interesting prospect that fantasy managers need to have on their radar screens this summer.

Perhaps more importantly, Wells completed the full nine innings behind the plate in his second rehab contest. It’s possible the 26-year-old backstop will return to New York for Friday’s series opener against the Reds, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play a few additional rehab games before coming back. He’s been on the shelf with cervical headaches since early June.

Pérez threw 51 pitches (37 strikes) in his first rehab outing since hitting the injured list with an unusual thigh muscle strain in his right leg back in late May, which was originally expected to sideline him for two months. The 23-year-old is on track to beat that initial timeline since he’s likely to only need one or two additional rehab outings before returning to Miami’s rotation. He’s struggled to work deep into starts this season, but he’s offered enough strikeouts to remain a relevant fantasy option in most leagues.

Jump was getting a battle at the end of his outing, throwing eight pitches to Denzer Guzman with two outs in the seventh. However, the last of those saw Vaughn Grissom wander too far off first on a ball in the dirt and get picked off by Shea Langeliers. Jump threw 107 pitches, an unusually high total for a rookie hurler in the year 2026, but he was in control from start to finish, striking out a new high of seven batters in his fifth major league start. He’s allowed a total of four runs in his four starts this month, with three of those coming in Las Vegas last week. He should be just fine to use in San Francisco next week.

All five runs came in the first. After a clean single to start the inning, novice outfielder Christian Moore botched Nick Kurtz’s fly to left for a double and back-to-back homers followed. Johnson finally escaped the frame after 35 pitches and then never gave up any extra-base hits or walks afterwards. His career ERA actually dropped from 10.17 to 9.96 with the performance. He’ll probably be sent down for a fresh arm Friday, but we’ll see.
