Cade Cavalli

WSH Starting Pitcher #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cade Cavalli struck out eight in six innings and combined with two Nationals relievers on an 8-0 shutout of the Rockies on Wednesday.

Coors was no issue for Cavalli. Eddy Yean and Max Kranick finished up the six-hitter after Cavalli got through seven in 90 pitches. It’s Cavalli’s first scoreless start this year, and he’s up to 14th in the majors with 127 strikeouts in 110 2/3 innings. He’ll face the Blue Jays next week.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #26

JJ Wetherholt launched a solo homer on Wednesday, lifting the Cardinals to a 1-0 win over the Angels.

Wetherholt’s sixth-inning blast against Angels starter Reid Detmers was the lone run for either side during a low-scoring affair in Los Angeles that featured just 10 hits combined. The 23-year-old has gone deep twice in six games since last week’s All-Star break. He’s putting together a sensational rookie campaign, slashing .257/.352/.403 with 62 runs scored, 15 homers, 40 RBI and 10 steals through 96 games.
Jake Mangum

PIT Center Fielder #28

Jake Mangum was scratched from the lineup for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Yankees with right foot discomfort.

Mangum went 2-for-5 with an RBI and his 19th stolen base of the season during the front-end of the twin bill. He’ll undergo further evaluation and there should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s series opener against the Cubs. The 30-year-old has emerged as Pittsburgh’s primary leadoff hitter since rookie Konnor Griffin hit the injured list earlier this month. It’ll be Billy Cook taking over in center field with Nick Gonzales moving up to the leadoff spot.
Grady Emerson

TB Shortstop

Rays signed first-round pick SS Grady Emerson.

The second-overall selection receives a whopping $9.75 million from Tampa Bay, which represents the second-highest signing bonus in draft history. It’s also a record for a high school player, according to MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis. The 18-year-old shortstop has a chance to evolve into the most impactful fantasy contributor from his draft class. He projects as a future five-category standout capable of hitting for both average and power while also chipping in some stolen bases. He’s several hyperspace jumps from the majors at this stage of his development, but it wouldn’t be shocking if he moved quickly through Tampa Bay’s system in the coming years.
Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Yankees activated LHP Max Fried from the 15-day injured list.

Fried returns to New York’s rotation for the nightcap of Wednesday’s twin bill against the Pirates following a 10-week absence due to a bone bruise in his elbow. The 32-year-old fantasy ace posted a strong 3.21 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50/19 K/BB ratio across 61 2/3 innings prior to hitting the shelf in mid-May. He’s likely to be limited to roughly 60 pitches in his return from the injured list since that was the number he was slated to throw in a minor league rehab start before the Yankees decided to bring him back instead. His return should provide a massive lift for fantasy managers heading into the final two months.
Salvador Perez

KC Catcher #13

Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer in a five-run seventh inning as the Royals came back to beat the Giants 5-4 on Wednesday.

Vinnie Pasquantino doubled to start the seventh, but it looked like he fell off the bag with the tag applied after an awkward slide into the second. The Giants, though, didn’t get the call, and Perez homered immediately afterwards to knock Landen Roupp out of the game. It was his 317th homer, trying him with George Brett for first place in Royals franchise history. Of course, both Perez and Brett hit all their homers for Kansas City. They’re tied with Adrián González for 142nd place on the all-time MLB list.
Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

Gerrit Cole struck out 11 while allowing three runs in seven innings Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader versus the Pirates.

Cole bested his previous season high in strikeouts by one. He got 21 whiffs on 53 swings and recorded eight strikeouts with his fastball, which had a 45 percent CSW on the day. Cole was in line for the loss when he threw his final pitch, but the Yankees came back and scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie things up. As a result, Cole remained 3-5 with a 3.92 ERA and an excellent 66/12 K/BB ratio through 62 innings. He’ll likely face the White Sox on Monday.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani (knee) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Ohtani remains without a definitive timetable to return to pitching for the Dodgers, but he continues to make incremental progress with his throwing progression, which is encouraging. The 32-year-old generational talent is likely to miss at least a couple additional turns in Los Angeles’ rotation after experiencing left knee soreness earlier this month.
Ranger Suarez

BOS Starting Pitcher #55

Ranger Suarez (illness) will not be activated from the injured list for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.

Boston will attempt to notch their franchise-record 16th consecutive victory with rookie lefty Eduardo Rivera on the mound and Alec Gamboa coming up from Triple-A Worcester as long relief depth for Wednesday’s nightcap at Fenway Park. Suarez won’t be able to take the ball due to an illness. It’s challenging to pinpoint his exact return date given everything that has transpired in the last few days, but Suárez appears likely to return for either Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays or Monday’s matchup against the Athletics, if the Red Sox opt to give him a few extra days.
Colson Montgomery

CWS Shortstop #12

Colson Montgomery (shin) is in the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Rangers.

Let’s try this again. Montgomery is back at shortstop and hitting cleanup after being scratched from Tuesday’s lineup out of an abundance of caution. The 24-year-old slugger suffered a contusion when he fouled a ball off his right shin during Monday’s series opener. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern moving forward.
