Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Trey Yesavage was removed from Tuesday’s start against the Astros with left knee discomfort.

Not great. Yesavage appeared to injure his left knee while landing on a warmup pitch prior to the third inning and made an immediate exit from the contest with a trainer. He departed after firing a pair of scoreless innings. The 23-year-old’s absence would be a crushing blow in the middle of an already dismal season for the Blue Jays. He’ll undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue. It certainly seems like a potential injured list situation. There should be additional clarity on his status later this week.
George Lombard Jr.

NYY Shortstop #96

George Lombard Jr. hit a solo homer to help the Yankees to a 2-0 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Lombard Jr. becomes the latest member of an exclusive club of players who have homered in their MLB debuts. He also drew a walk and helped turn a couple of double plays and cement a shutout victory. Lombard will likely have some ups and downs over these first two months of his career, but there’s never been a question of talent, and he’s absolutely worth a look for fantasy managers who need middle-infield help down the stretch.
Austin Riley

ATL 3rd Baseman #27

Austin Riley hit a two-run homer to help Atlanta to a 4-2 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Riley extended the lead for Atlanta to 3-0 with a mammoth shot off John King. The 29-year-old also singled, but the two reach game still has his slash at a orderline unusable .220/.296/.360. There’s just enough time to turn some of those numbers around, but it’s hard to be too optimistic based on what he’s done in 2026.
Tyler Glasnow

LAD Starting Pitcher #31

Tyler Glasnow (back) fired two scoreless innings in a minor league rehab start for Low-A Ontario on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Glasnow got an additional inning of work in the bullpen to continue building up his pitch count and stamina. He struck out one and allowed one baserunner during the abbreviated 16-pitch outing. He’ll need a couple additional outings before he’s ready to jump back into Los Angeles’ rotation later this month.
Jackson Jobe

DET Starting Pitcher #21

Jackson Jobe (elbow) will be activated to make his season debut against the Giants later this week.

Jobe will draw into Detroit’s new-look rotation following the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize at the trade deadline when they kick off a three-game series in San Francisco later this week. The hard-throwing 24-year-old was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in the not-so-distant past and will be making his return to the majors after missing most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s struck out 17 batters over 15 1/3 innings during five minor league rehab outings. There are probably going to be some workload restrictions down the home stretch, but Jobe is the type of talent that fantasy managers should at the very least be monitoring closely.
Jordan Walker

STL Right Fielder #18

Jordan Walker was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Yankees with right knee inflammation.

Walker has hit a bit of a rough patch at the plate since his iconic performance during the All-Star Home Run Derby last month, hitting .240 (18-for-75) with zero homers in 18 games since the Midsummer Classic. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There should be additional clarity on his status following the contest. It’ll be Nelson Velázquez taking over in right field at Yankee Stadium in his place.
José Soriano

TOR Starting Pitcher

José Soriano will make his Blue Jays debut against the Cubs on Friday.

Soriano takes the ball for Friday’s contest at historic Wrigley Field with the Blue Jays moving to a six-man rotation. The 27-year-old was one of the biggest names to move at the trade deadline, heading north of the border in a four-player swap. He’s posted a strong 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127/57 K/BB ratio across 123 innings over 22 starts so far this year. This will be his first outing since July 26.
Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet (shoulder) has started a throwing proression.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters Crochet, who has progressed to flat-ground throwing at roughly 60 feet, is at the very outset of his throwing program. He added that he absolutely has a chance at returning this season. The 27-year-old fantasy ace has been on the shelf with shoulder and lat issues since late April. He’s not going to deliver enough volume to be worth stashing in shallow fantasy leagues, especially since he’s unlikely to make it back until some point in mid-to-late September. Yet, he could wind up being a late-season pickup as a streaming option.
Bryce Eldridge

SF Designated Hitter #8

Bryce Eldridge is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rangers with a left thumb contusion.

Eldridge receives some extra rest to address a lingering thumb bruise, but the expectation is that he’ll be ready to return to the lineup rather quickly. The 21-year-old former top prospect should play everyday for San Francisco over the final two months in the wake of their trade deadline teardown. He offers enough over-the-fence power to be interesting in deeper mixed leagues until further notice.
Agustín Ramírez

MIA Catcher #50

Marlins recalled C/DH Agustín Ramírez from Triple-A Jacksonville.

It’s become a lot less challenging to forecast Ramírez from a playing time standpoint after Miami jettisoned Liam Hicks at the trade deadline. The 24-year-old has zero shot at reclaiming the starting catcher role given his defensive shortcomings, especially now that defensive wizard Joe Mack is firmly entrenched in the role. However, he figures to see enough time between first base and DH to matter for fantasy purposes. There have never really been a ton of questions regarding his offensive ability and having less competition for at-bats should help Ramírez tremendously.
