  • SEA Center Fielder #44
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    He’s regarded as day-to-day, but it’s not surprising for him to miss a day game after a night game given the hamstring spasms. Miles Mastrobuoni will play left field and push Victor Robles to center as the Mariners take on RHP Shane Baz and the Orioles.
  • CHC Center Fielder #4
    This guy is on fire. Crow-Armstrong has now homered in three consecutive games, four times in his last five, and eight times already in June. This one was funny too, sneaking just inside the right field foul pole. At the time, this gave the Cubs an 8-1 lead in a game they eventually only won 8-6. Nevertheless, Crow-Armstrong’s slow start to the season feels like a distant memory as he’s now one of the only players in the league on a 30 homer, 30 steal pace with a .276 batting average that’s nearly 30 points higher than where it wound up last season. He is a bonafide superstar.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #38
    It’s Bradish’s seventh career 10-strikeout game, but it was his first of 2026 and he’d never topped 11 previously. He generated 18 missed swings with his velocity up a little tonight; his sinker was 0.5 mph better than his season average, but his curveball and slider were 1.5 and 1.9 mph harder than usual. Bradish had given up five runs in back-to-back starts, including one at home against the Mariners last week. The consistency obviously hasn’t been there for him this year, but there’s just no giving up on him when he’s still capable of outings like this. He’ll take on the Angels and Nationals next week.
  • SF 2nd Baseman #1
    This is how to stuff a stat sheet. Arraez did a little bit of everything and a lot of things he doesn’t normally do. Especially drawing a walk to start the game. Then, homering in his second plate appearance. That was just his 16th walk and third home run so far this season. Later on, he chipped in his sixth stolen base to make this a delightful combo meal. He’s been a force for the Giants all season long with a .326 batting average and .813 OPS. Over his last 30 games, he’s been even better with a .358 average and .948 OPS. That’s a sensational month and one that probably has plenty of teams looking at Arraez for a potential trade deadline boost.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #24
    The writing was on the wall after Painter was torched for six runs over two innings during Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Marlins. The 23-year-old top pitching prospect has a bright future but he’s struggled mightily in his first opportunity in the majors, posting a bloated 7.06 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 53/24 K/BB ratio across 65 innings. He earns a ticket back to the minors after allowing five runs in three consecutive starts since June 6. He can be safely dropped in all re-draft fantasy formats at this juncture.
  • ATL Right Fielder #13
    MLB.com’s Mark Bowman adds that Atlanta is going to exercise a fair bit of caution with Acuña’s rehabilitation process since the hamstring injury is in the same spot as the previous strain that kept him sidelined for three weeks earlier this season. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain last week. It’s hardly an official return timetable, but it sounds like fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate Acuña returning until after next month’s All-Star break.
  • CLE Right Fielder #24
    DeLauter will require some extra time off to rest and recover after imaging earlier this week revealed a bone bruise and a small fracture in his right ribs. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt expressed optimism on Tuesday that DeLauter could potentially be able to manage the injury and play through it, but the club has opted against taking that route. The 24-year-old has cooled off considerably after a surreal start to the year, but has still put together a sensation rookie campaign so far, slashing .263/.337/.408 with seven homers and two steals in 270 plate appearances in 66 games. There is no timetable for his return but fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate a lengthy absence.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #31
    Scherzer was scheduled to start Wednesday’s contest against the Red Sox at Fenway Park after reaching the 3,500 strikeout milestone his last time out against the Phillies. It’s fair to wonder whether Toronto should continue committing a rotation spot to Scherzer since he’s posted a calamitous 10.23 ERA and 13/12 K/BB ratio across 22 innings this season. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer is likely to miss at least a couple weeks. It’ll be Chad Dallas coming up to take the ball for a bulk relief appearance against Boston in his place.
  • CIN 1st Baseman #27
    Stewart served as Cincinnati’s primary offensive catalyst in this one, socking a tone-setting three-run homer off Mets starter Kodai Senga in the opening frame. It was his 14th long ball of the season and second time leaving the yard in his last seven games. He also delivered a key insurance run with an RBI single in the fifth inning.
  • PHI Designated Hitter #12
    Schwarber ripped a line-drive into the right-field seats off Marlins starter Tyler Phillips in the fourth inning while making his first appearance at the cold corner since October 20, 2021. Amazingly he didn’t have a single ball hit in his direction during the contest. The 33-year-old power-hitter has just three round-trippers since the calendar flipped to June, but he’s hitting over .300 during that 14-game span. That’ll do.
