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.
Jarren Duran

BOS Left Fielder #16

Jarren Duran drove in three with a triple and a sac fly as the Red Sox beat the Orioles 6-3 in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader to run their winning streak to 15 games.

The Red Sox have matched their franchise-long win streak from 1946. Duran’s first-inning triple helped give them an early 4-0 lead in this one and they simply held on from there. Duran is just 7-for-44 this month, but 15 of his 36 balls in play have been hit hard. It still seems like he has to get hot at some point. His exit velocity numbers are down some from the last couple of years, but not enough to justify his .238 BABIP. His career mark was .340 previously.
Aroldis Chapman

BOS Relief Pitcher #44

Aroldis Chapman worked a scoreless ninth with a three-run lead in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles for his 390th career save.

Chapman gave up a single and a walk, but he got a double play and then another groundout to end it. He moved into a tie with Dennis Eckersley for ninth place all-time in saves. He’s 23-for-25 this year. With the Red Sox using Chapman, Garrett Whitlock and Justin Slaten to finish off the first game today, it’s possible Tyron Guerrero could get a save chance in game two.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

Guardians activated 3B José Ramírez from the 10-day injured list.

Ramírez was placed on the IL with a fractured hamate bone on June 16th, so he has missed just over a month and will be right back out on the field for the Guardians. We could see a bit of a power dip in the first few weeks back, but Ramírez has always hit for power thanks to how often he pulls the ball in the air and not impressive raw exit velocities, so perhaps he can survive the recovery from hamate surgery better than others. Regardless, he should be back in all fantasy lineups.
