Shane McClanahan

TB Starting Pitcher #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Shane McClanahan left Thursday’s start against the Rangers with lower back tightness.

That’s a relief compared to an injury to his throwing arm, but it’s still not great news and could portend an injured list stay. More to come on this. McClanahan lasted three innings against the Rangers, allowing one hit and one earned run while striking out three.
Shane McClanahan

TB Starting Pitcher #18

Shane McClanahan left Thursday’s start against the Rangers with the athletic trainer in the fourth inning.

It’s unknown where exactly the injury was or how it was suffered, but McClanahan’s fastball velocity dipped notably in the fourth inning, sitting close to 93 as opposed to his average on the year of 95.6 and a peak of 97 that he hit in the first inning. More news to come as the Rays make it available, but this doesn’t look good.
Spencer Strider

ATL Starting Pitcher #99

MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports “the scuttlebutt” is that Spencer Strider likely won’t pitch again this year, “at least as a starting pitcher.”

“Will he ever be a starter again? Would it be best to just use him as a reliever once he returns to health? These are the questions that are being asked as we await answers,” Bowman continues. Strider’s continued absence appears likely to have the Braves searching for starting pitching at the trade deadline. Redraft fantasy managers holding on to him in an IL spot don’t necessarily have to keep doing that based on this update.
Matt McLain

CIN 2nd Baseman #9

Reds activated 2B Matt McLain from the 10-day injured list.

The surprising part is that they also sent down Edwin Arroyo, giving McLain what appears to be another real chance at playing time at second base after he struggled mightily in 309 plate appearances so far this year. McLain has eight homers and 11 stolen bases despite hitting .190, so he may be of deep-league interest again if he can start hitting.
Kevin Gausman

TOR Starting Pitcher #34

MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports that the Blue Jays and Phillies “are emerging as trade partners.”

This makes plenty of sense. The Phillies need another starter for the rotation and potentially another outfield bat as well. The Blue Jays could send any combination of Kevin Gausman, Shane Bieber, George Springer, and Daulton Varsho. The Phillies may also be interested in Jeff Hoffman for the bullpen. Would the Blue Jays want to take a chance that they can “fix” Andrew Painter? There is still time to go here and nothing imminent, but it seems like a pairing that makes sense.
Heliot Ramos

SF Left Fielder #17

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Giants “could offload Heliot Ramos, whom some teams see as a solid flier.”

Ramos has played in just 70 games this season due to injuries and is slashing .267/.304/.436 with nine home runs, 34 RBI, and two steals. He has hit at least 20 home runs in two straight seasons but has yet to truly put together a great full season. Still, he is just 26 years old and is under team control through arbitration for three more years, so he would likely bring back a recent return if the Giants do decide to move him.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Dodgers are the favorite to land Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline.

We’re sure the baseball world would react favorably to this move, especially with owners using competitive imbalance to push for a salary cap. The Dodgers should get Blake Snell back in the next week or two, and Tyler Glasnow is set to begin a rehab assignment next week, but some health concerns are keeping Shohei Ohtani (knee/bicep) off the mound, Eric Lauer was acquired as a short-term fix, and about Roki Sasaki and Emmet Sheehan have had inconsistent seasons, so the Dodgers may not want to trust them in the postseason. The Dodgers have plenty of prospect hitters to deal to make this work, so another team is going to have to simply beat their offer.
Mason Miller

SD Relief Pitcher #22

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Brewers “love the idea of Mason Miller joining what’s already a superpen.”

Passan notes that the Brewers are involved in the bidding for Tarik Skubal and are certainly looking to add starting pitching depth, but they could pivot to add Miller and trust that young starters like Shane Drohan, Robert Gasser, and/or Brandon Sproat can pitch 4-5 innings before turning the game over to a dominant bullpen.
Freddy Peralta

NYM Starting Pitcher #51

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that “Chicago lines up very nicely with the Mets” as the Mets look to trade RHPs Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes.

Peralta and Holmes are almost assuredly being dealt this week, and the Cubs are looking to add starting pitching. As Passan notes, the Cubs also have “plenty of bats available” that could interest the Mets, like Matt Shaw and Pedro Ramirez in the big leagues, or Owen Ayers and Jefferson Rojas in the minors. It remains to be seen if the teams can make anything work, but the pieces seem to be there.
Otto Lopez

MIA Shortstop #6

The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey reports that the Red Sox are looking to add more infielders, even after acquiring Curtis Mead.

Of course, Mead is sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks with a fractured wrist, so that plays a part in it. All of Trevor Story (sports hernia), Marcelo Mayer (forearm stress reaction), and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm stress reaction) are on the injured list as well, so infield depth is a need. The Red Sox have been linked to Otto Lopez, which would require a sizable offer that “would have to start with” Boston’s second-ranked prospect RHP Anthony Eyanson.
