    Matt Chapman Wed Jul 2 9:10pm CT

    San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) will take on-field batting practice Thursday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Chapman, who previously took BP on Monday, will face live pitching and a high-velocity machine in the next step in his recovery from a sprained right hand. The 33-year-old went on the 10-day IL on June 9, which interrupted a productive start to his season. Chapman was hitting .234/.360/.452 with 12 homers, 30 RBI, 35 runs scored, and seven stolen bases over 272 plate appearances when he suffered the injury. The Giants have sent third base backups Casey Schmitt and Christian Koss to the injured list this week, making it all the more important for Chapman to return soon.

    Martin Perez Wed Jul 2 9:00pm CT

    Chicago White Sox left-hander Martin Perez (elbow) is hoping to pitch in an injury rehab game by Aug. 2, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Perez joined the White Sox on a one-year, $5 million deal in the offseason and pitched to a 3.15 ERA over 20 innings in April before hitting the shelf with flexor tendon strain. It initially looked as if Perez would require surgery, but he has avoided going under the knife for a season-ending procedure. The 34-year-old is optimistic he'll pitch again in 2025. Perez told Merkin that the next steps in his rehab will include three throwing sessions from 120 feet and two "touch and feel" bullpen sessions. If those go well, he expects to resume throwing from a mound.

    Luis Robert Wed Jul 2 8:50pm CT

    Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) took batting practice and did some pregame running before the club's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Robert hasn't played since last Tuesday because of a strained left hamstring. The injury forced him to the 10-day IL on June 26, continuing a brutal start to the season for the former All-Star. Robert has batted a personal-worst .185/.270/.313 with eight runs, 32 RBI, and 27 runs scored over 285 plate appearances. The lone bright spot has been his work on the bases, as Robert has already tallied 22 steals. He's just one swipe away from tying the career-high 23 he amassed last year.

    Kevin Pillar Wed Jul 2 8:40pm CT

    Longtime major league outfielder Kevin Pillar announced his retirement on the Foul Territory podcast on Wednesday. Now 36 years old, Pillar began his professional career as a 32nd-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011 and turned into an improbable success story. He debuted in the bigs in 2013 and eventually earned a reputation as a high-end defensive outfielder who could also contribute with the bat and on the base paths. Pillar spent the majority of his career in Toronto, but he made several other stops after Toronto traded him to San Francisco in 2019. He spent time with Colorado, Boston, the New York Mets, both Los Angeles teams, Atlanta, the Chicago White Sox, and the Texas Rangers from 2020-25. He appeared in 20 games with the Rangers this season and struggled to a .209/.209/.256 line in 20 games before the team released him. Pillar hangs up his cleats a lifetime .255/.293/.405 hitter with 114 home runs and 111 stolen bases over 1,234 games and 4,409 plate appearances.

    Masataka Yoshida Wed Jul 2 8:30pm CT

    Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) will get "light work" at first base during his rehab assignment. However, he's unlikely to see game action at the position, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports. "I don't anticipate him starting at first base," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "but if something crazy happens, at least he can catch throws and knock down a ground ball." Yoshida, who has been out all season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery, embarked on a rehab assignment this week and should make his 2025 debut soon. He played almost exclusively at the DH position last year and hit .280/.349/.415 with 10 homers, 56 RBI, and 45 runs scored in 421 plate appearances.

    Wyatt Langford Wed Jul 2 8:20pm CT

    Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) took a successful live batting practice Wednesday and will begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday, according to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. Langford, on the 10-day injured list since June 25 with a strained left oblique, is targeting a return to the Rangers' lineup on Sunday. The 23-year-old has hit .232/.308/.421 with 13 homers, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 292 trips to the plate this season.

    Jon Gray Wed Jul 2 8:10pm CT

    Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment if he doesn't deal with any setbacks from Wednesday's live bullpen session, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports. Gray has now thrown four bullpen sessions as he works back from the fractured right wrist that he suffered during spring training. The 33-year-old should make his season debut sometime in the coming weeks, but he's unlikely to land on most fantasy managers' radars. He threw 102 2/3 innings of 4.47 ERA ball with 7.54 K/9 and 2.45 BB/9 in 2024.

    Kyle Tucker Wed Jul 2 8:00pm CT

    The Chicago Cubs are open to trying to sign outfielder Kyle Tucker to a long-term contract extension, but they aren't committing to serious contract talks until later in the season or in the offseason, according to The Athletic's Patrick Mooney. Tucker was acquired in a blockbuster trade last winter from the Houston Astros, and the original idea was that the team would try to win big with Tucker in 2025 and figure out the rest later on. "Kyle Tucker is a player you want to have for a long time," president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said. "He's been one of the best players in baseball this year. He does so many things well, and he's really had a significant impact on this offense. Certainly, you want to keep a player like that. You go into the negotiation wanting to keep him. But, obviously, you realize in some way that you must have your limits."

    Miguel Amaya Wed Jul 2 7:40pm CT

    Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya (oblique) has resumed normal batting practice, catching bullpen sessions and throwing but is "not close" to game action yet, according to manager Craig Counsell. Amaya is recovering from a strained left oblique and will not come off the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break. However, if the 26-year-old continues to make progress and is able to go on a minor-league rehab assignment sooner than later, he could be ready to rejoin the Cubs as their primary backstop early in the second half of the season, which begins on July 18. In the meantime, Carson Kelly will draw the majority of starts behind the plate in Chicago. Kelly is having a fine first season on the North Side, hitting .267 (46-for-172) with nine homers and 29 RBI. He enters Wednesday's action riding a modest four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-13 with three doubles, three RBI and two runs scored.

    Yordan Alvarez Wed Jul 2 7:20pm CT

    The Houston Astros transferred outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday, according to the Houston Chronicle's Matt Kawahara. In an additional moves, the Astros placed infielder Luis Guillorme (hamstring) on the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain and recalled infielder Zack Short from Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston was hoping that Alvarez could rejoin the club before the All-Star break, but that is unlikely to happen now after the 28-year-old All-Star suffered a setback this week. It's turned into a lost season for the left-handed slugger, as he's been out since early May and has hit just .210/.306/.340 with three home runs, 18 RBI and seven runs scored. Fantasy managers must continue to stash Alvarez and keep their fingers cross that he can return for the start of the second half on July 18.

    Yu Darvish Wed Jul 2 7:20pm CT

    San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow) threw a four-inning, 64-pitch simulated game against Single-A hitters in Lake Elsinore on Monday, which was his third sim game, according to MLB.com. Darvish is nearing a return to the big-league starting rotation, but it's unclear what his next step will be at this time. The 38-year-old Japanese hurler is currently on the 60-day injured list and has been out all season with right-elbow inflammation, but he could be back in early July, depending on whether the Friars want to send him on an official minor-league rehab assignment. The Padres certainly could use the help in the rotation with Michael King (shoulder) still sidelined, but they also don't want to rush the veteran hurler. Darvish can be useful as back-end rotation depth in mixed fantasy leagues, but he's no longer the dominant strikeout artist he was earlier in his career and will likely be eased back in from a pitch-count perspective when he does make his 2025 debut.

    Teoscar Hernandez Wed Jul 2 7:10pm CT

    Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is receiving the night off on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Andy Pages is starting in right field and is batting fifth, while Tommy Edman makes the start in center field and hits eighth against White Sox left-hander Brandon Eisert. Hernandez went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's win over Chicago with an RBI and a run scored to break a stretch of three straight hitless games. While the 32-year-old veteran right-handed slugger hasn't been quite as good as he was in 2024 in his first year in L.A., the Dominican outfielder is still providing plenty across the board for fantasy managers with 14 long balls, 54 RBI and 41 runs scored in 270 at-bats in one of the best lineups in baseball. Pages is in the midst of a career year in just his second MLB season and has contributed 16 homers, 57 RBI and six steals in 82 games.

    Heliot Ramos Wed Jul 2 7:00pm CT

    San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos will take the day off on Wednesday in the tilt versus the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Luis Matos will draw into the lineup in left field and will hit sixth against Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly. It's a good time for a breather for Ramos, who has gone 2-for-24 with eight strikeouts in his last six games played. The former first-rounder out of Puerto Rico is hitting a respectable .272 (88-for-323) on the year as an everyday player for the Giants and has added 13 homers, 44 RBI and five steals after being a first-time All-Star in 2024. Under the hood, though, he's sporting an xBA of .255 and xwOBA of .344. He's in the 55th percentile in hard-hit rate and 70th percentile in average exit velocity. Matos has a homer and two RBI while hitting .222 in nine career at-bats against Kelly.

    Josh Naylor Wed Jul 2 6:40pm CT

    Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor (neck) is serving as the designated hitter and will bat cleanup on Wednesday against the division-rival San Francisco Giants and right-hander Landen Roupp. Pavin Smith will make another start at first base and bat third for Arizona. Naylor was in the original lineup on Tuesday before being scratched and missing his fourth straight game due to lingering soreness in his neck. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger will give it another go on Wednesday, though. Naylor's 10 homers for a first baseman leave plenty to be desired, but he hit .311/.366/.486 with three homers, 16 RBI and 12 runs in the month of June and is hitting .304 (89-for-293) on the year with 53 RBI, 42 runs and 10 steals in his first year with the Snakes. Nine of his 10 homers on the year have come against righties. Get him back into your starting lineups.

    Gary Sanchez Wed Jul 2 6:20pm CT

    Baltimore Orioles catcher Gary Sanchez (finger) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth on Wednesday against the hosting Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Jacob Stallings will do the catching and will hit out of the nine-hole. Sanchez was forced from Tuesday's 10-2 loss to Texas early after taking a foul tip off his finger behind the plate. Luckily, X-rays came back negative on the 32-year-old veteran, and he'll remain in the lineup on Wednesday as the DH. The Orioles can't afford any more injuries to their catchers with Adley Rutschman, Maverick Handley and Chadwick Tromp all currently on the injured list. Sanchez has added fantasy value in two-catcher leagues while he sees regular playing time and can still run into a ball with plenty of power. Since June 14, Sanchez is batting .353 (18-for-51) with five homers, two doubles and 20 RBI in 14 games for the O's.

    Cal Raleigh Wed Jul 2 6:20pm CT

    Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Royals. Mitch Garver is behind the plate and will catch right-hander Logan Gilbert while hitting sixth against Royals left-hander Noah Cameron. Raleigh is receiving just his third day off of the season. In all fairness, it's been hard for the M's to sit him down with how dominant he's been on offense in 2025. The 28-year-old switch-hitting catcher has been one of the best players in all of baseball this year and comes into Wednesday's action leading the league with 33 home runs and 71 RBI in 84 games. He's also added a superb .272/.383/.641 slash line, 1.024 OPS, 60 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 371 plate appearances. Even with some regression due in the second half, Raleigh is going to easily finish with a career year in 2025.

    Spencer Steer Wed Jul 2 6:10pm CT

    Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer (hand) has been scratched ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Steer was hit in the hand by a pitch during the first game of the doubleheader earlier in the day. He was originally cleared to play in this game, but now they've decided to take the cautious approach. In his absence, Christian Encarnacion-Strand will take over the cold corner and bat eighth on Wednesday. It's worth noting that Encarnacion-Strand fouled a ball off his foot earlier on Wednesday and was out of the original lineup. He'll battle through the injury and play in the nightcap.

    From RotoBaller

    Logan O'Hoppe Wed Jul 2 6:10pm CT

    Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe will start on the bench for Wednesday's contest in Atlanta against the Braves at Truist Park. Travis d'Arnaud is behind the plate to catch left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and will hit seventh against Braves right-handed rookie Didier Fuentes. O'Hoppe will take the day off after starting in each of the last four games behind the plate for the Halos while going 3-for-19 with a double. The 25-year-old starting backstop is one of the better offensive backstops in baseball and enters Wednesday's action with 17 home runs and 37 RBI despite hitting only .237 (57-for-250). O'Hoppe has gone 8-for-34 (.235) with three long balls, a double, six RBI and three runs in nine games over the last 14 days. d'Arnaud will be looking to make some noise against his former team, but he'll be a low-upside DFS play that has just four homers in his 124 at-bats in 2025.

    From RotoBaller

    Jordan Westburg Wed Jul 2 6:00pm CT

    Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (finger) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Westburg is set to miss his fifth game in a row due to a left finger sprain. It doesn't sound like the O's plan to place Westburg on the injured list despite him missing eight of the last 10 games. This is obviously a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, but they will have to remain patient. Ramon Urias will cover third base and bat seventh versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi on Wednesday.

    From RotoBaller

    Brennan Bernardino Wed Jul 2 5:50pm CT

    Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brennan Bernardino will serve as the opener ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Red Sox have decided to go bullpen-game after having Brayan Bello pitch during the resumption of Tuesday's suspended contest. Bernardino figures to throw an inning before handing the ball off to Cooper Criswell who will pitch the bulk of the innings. Criswell doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming on Wednesday.
