Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jeremy Peña exited Saturday’s game against the Orioles with an apparent injury.

It appears to be a right leg injury for Peña. The shortstop has been replaced by Nick Allen at shortstop. It’s likely that Peña will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue, but either way, further updates should be available shortly.
Kyle Bradish

BAL Starting Pitcher #38

Orioles signed RHP Kyle Bradish to a five-year, $90 million contract extension.

Bradish hasn’t had his best season — in fact it’s been his worst by ERA at 3.61 since his rookie campaign — but it’s certainly understandable why Baltimore would want to wrap the 29-year-old up at a rate that makes sense for both parties. For his career, he owns a The right-hander will pitch at or near the top of the Baltimore rotation for the remainder of the decade, barring a trade, of course. He owns a career 3.50 ERA, 9.4 K/9 and 1.20 WHIP over his 465 career innings.
Julio Rodríguez

SEA Center Fielder #44

Mariners activated OF Julio Rodríguez from the 7-day concussion injured list.

Rodríguez returns to Seattle’s lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants at T-Mobile Park after missing just over two weeks recovering from a concussion, but will begin his second half as the designated hitter, with Luke Raley handling center field. The 25-year-old franchise cornerstone was hitting .259/.323/.424 with 14 home runs, 40 RBI and 12 steals in 378 plate appearances across 87 games to open the season. His presence should provide an immediate lift for Seattle’s offense.
Esmerlyn Valdez

PIT Right Fielder #55

Esmerlyn Valdez launched a two-run homer, propelling the Pirates to a 7-1 win over the Guardians in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

The magic continues. Valdez picked up right where he left off prior to the All-Star break, lifting a towering fly ball off Guardians starter Gavin Williams that just kept on carrying into the right-field seats to give Pittsburgh a 4-1 advantage in the sixth inning. The 22-year-old slugging prospect has gone deep a staggering 11 times in just 29 games to open his big-league career. He’s going to cool off at some point in the near future since he’s striking out nearly 40 percent of the time and running a BABIP in the .400 range, but he’s clearly going to keep hitting for power, which should keep him fantasy-relevant until further notice.
Jared Jones

PIT Starting Pitcher #17

Jared Jones recorded a season-high nine strikeouts and allowed one run over five innings on Saturday against the Guardians.

Jones drew the starting assignment for the front-end of Saturday’s doubleheader at Progressive Field and touched triple digits 11 times during an impressive 74-pitch outing where he leaned almost exclusively on his fastball and slider. The lone run against him came on an RBI triple from Travis Bazzana with two outs in the third inning. The Pirates have been cautious with his workload as he returns from Tommy John surgery, but he’s looked outstanding since the start of July, allowing just two runs while compiling a 23/3 K/BB ratio over 15 innings across his last three starts. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues at this point based on his strikeout upside alone.
Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Gavin Williams matched a season-high with 11 strikeouts and allowed five runs over six innings on Saturday in a loss to the Pirates.

Williams notched his fifth double-digit strikeout performance of the season but was burned by the long ball in this one, serving up three homers to a suddenly red-hot Pirates lineup. He managed to shake off an early two-run blast from Jacob Gonzalez before giving up a two-run shot to Esmerlyn Valdez and a solo tater to Nick Gonzalez in the sixth. The result was a bizarre-looking pitching line where he somehow managed to dominate for most of his outing while still ending up being saddled with a loss. He’ll square off against the Twins on Thursday in his next outing.
Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang was scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Marlins with right foot soreness.

Braden Shewmake takes over at the keystone with Turang taking a seat after fouling a ball off his right foot during Friday’s second-half opener. He’s delivered top-three fantasy value at second base this season, hitting .263/.359/.460 with 66 runs scored, 14 homers, 60 RBI and 15 steals in 421 plate appearances through 92 games. It’s unclear whether there are any plans for him to undergo imaging at this juncture. There should be a more definitive update on his status later this weekend. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff will undergo season-ending right shoulder capsule surgery.

The history of pitchers returning from multiple shoulder surgeries is extremely bleak, but Woodruff has insisted that he plans on pitching again. The 33-year-old former fantasy ace will miss the remainder of the current season in addition to a significant chunk of next year as well. He missed nearly a year and a half after undergoing a similar capsule repair procedure back in 2023. This latest development certainly helps explain why Milwaukee went out and acquire Lance McCullers Jr. from the Astros earlier this week.
Jacob Misiorowski

MIL Starting Pitcher #32

Jacob Misiorowski (fatigue) will start on Tuesday against the Mets, according to Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920.

It hasn’t been officially confirmed by the Brewers, but Misiorowski resumed throwing earlier this week with the expectation that he would take the ball at some point during next weeks’ series against New York. The hard-throwing 24-year-old strikeout machine was scratched from his final first-half outing and didn’t pitch in the All-Star Game either due to fatigue. Milwaukee is probably going to have to get creative to effectively manage his workload over the final two-plus months, but all signs point to him getting the ball against the Mets next week.
Juan Soto

NYM Left Fielder #22

Juan Soto (calf) is in the lineup at DH for Saturday’s showdown against the Phillies.

Soto is back in New York’s lineup without missing any additional time following an early exit from Thursday’s second-half opener with left calf soreness. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar is at DH and hitting second to face Phillies lefty Jesús Luzardo on Saturday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his status throughout the weekend, but Soto doesn’t appear to be at risk of missing any additional game action.
