    Lazaro Estrada Fri Jul 4 9:40pm CT

    Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Lazaro Estrada is being promoted to the major leagues. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays are sending right-handed pitcher Justin Bruihl to Triple-A Buffalo and shifting outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list. Estrada has spent the first half of the campaign with Triple-A. During his first career stint with Triple-A this season, Estrada has posted a 4.75 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP. During this stretch, Estrada has struck out 66 batters while allowing 21 walks. Last summer, the No. 25-ranked prospect spent time in the system with Low-A, High-A, and Double-A. While Estrada has typically been deployed out of the rotation in the minor leagues, he will likely have a long relief role in Toronto. Given his projected role, he is not worth adding in any fantasy formats.

    Ha-Seong Kim Fri Jul 4 9:00pm CT

    Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (calf) finally made his season debut on Friday, but sadly he didn't make it through the game. Kim was pulled out in the seventh inning after attempting to steal third base. Afterwards, Rays manager Kevin Cash said Kim is considered day-to-day with a calf injury. The team downplayed the issue and doesn't believe Kim will require another stint on the injured list. Before exiting, Kim went 1-for-3 with a single and a stolen base. Fantasy managers should continue to look for another update, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Kim sit out the rest of the weekend.

    Corbin Carroll Fri Jul 4 8:50pm CT

    Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (wrist) could be activated off the injured list as early as this weekend, according to D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo. Carroll has been out since late June due to a fracture in his wrist. He began a rehab assignment on Thursday and appears to be ready to return. Before going down, Carroll was slashing .255/.341/.573 with 20 home runs, 44 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 72 games. Jake McCarty figures to lose playing time once Carroll is back in the mix. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday for another update on this status.

    Andres Gimenez Fri Jul 4 8:50pm CT

    Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) made his return to the lineup on Friday, but sadly it didn't last too long. Gimenez tweaked his ankle on Wednesday and as a result sat out on Thursday. He appears to have re-aggravated the injury while running the bases in the sixth inning on Friday. Gimenez attempted to talk his way into staying on the field, but ultimately exited the contest. The expectation is that the Blue Jays will have Gimenez undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Before exiting, Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI. Leo Jimenez figures to see increased playing time if Gimenez doesn't play this weekend.

    Wyatt Langford Fri Jul 4 8:40pm CT

    Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (oblique) is expected to rejoin the big league club ahead of Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Langford is ready to get back in the mix after being sidelined since late June due to a left oblique strain. Before going down, Langford was in a mini slump, going 1-for-13 at the plate, but will hopefully get off to a better start at the plate. He's slashing .232/.308/.421 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 67 games this season. Langford does a little bit of everything which makes him worth rostering in most fantasy formats.

    Luke Weaver Fri Jul 4 8:30pm CT

    New York Yankees relief pitcher Luke Weaver has struggled on the mound over the last few outings. The right-hander has given up two earned runs in each of his last three appearances. Weaver was hit around during their series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The problems continued on Friday when Weaver gave up a two-run home run to Jeff McNeil and suffered his second blown save of the season. Weaver says he's feeling good physically, but he seemingly can't do anything right on the mound. Devin Williams has settled back into the closer role, so Weaver is droppable in most fantasy formats.

    Xavier Isaac Fri Jul 4 6:00pm CT

    Tampa Bay Rays first base prospect Xavier Isaac remains in a slump at Double-A Montgomery. Over his last seven contests, the No. 46-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com has posted a low .148/.343/.259 slash line. During this stretch, Isaac has hit just one extra-base hit (a home run) and held an 8:8 K:BB. Through 41 total games with Double-A this season, Isaac has held a modest .201/.366/.446 line. While his batting average is low, he has shown a strong eye at the plate, drawing 34 walks and striking out just 52 times. He has also hit nine home runs and held an .812 OPS. Last season, Isaac held a much lower .695 OPS during his first taste of Double-A. Fantasy managers should expect the former 29th overall pick to remain at Double-A through most of the second half.

    Moises Ballesteros Fri Jul 4 5:50pm CT

    Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros continues to dominate at Triple-A and is making a strong case to return to the major leagues. Over his last seven contests, the backstop has posted a stellar .308/.333/.462 slash line with four doubles, one stolen base, and a 7:2 K:BB. Over his last four games, he has hit at least one double in all but one. Ballesteros received a brief taste of the big leagues earlier this season. During his five-game stint in the majors, Ballesteros tallied three hits and three RBI. Through 69 total games with Triple-A Iowa this season, Ballesteros has posted a remarkable .331/.389/.498 slash line with 19 doubles and eight home runs. With Miguel Amaya (oblique) on the IL, Ballesteros could be in the mix to return to the North Side very soon. For now, he is worth stashing in all deeper two-catcher formats.

    Drew Pomeranz Fri Jul 4 5:40pm CT

    Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Pomeranz will serve as the team's opener on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, according to manager Craig Counsell. It's unclear who will work as the bulk reliever for the Cubbies in Game 2 of the divisional series, but it's most likely to be left-hander Jordan Wicks, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Friday with righty Jameson Taillon (calf) going on the 15-day injured list. In both of his opening assignments this year, Pomeranz has gone an inning apiece, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes, even though the 36-year-old veteran has yet to allow a run in 2025 in 23 1/3 innings pitched. In addition to his 23 1/3 scoreless frames for Chicago, Pomeranz has a 0.90 WHIP, a save, 23 punchouts and seven walks.

    Zack Gelof Fri Jul 4 5:30pm CT

    The Athletics reinstated second baseman Zack Gelof (ribs) from the 60-day injured list on Friday and placed infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to July 3) with a right-hamstring strain in a corresponding move, according to the team. Gelof will immediately start at second base and hit eighth in his 2025 debut in Friday's series opener against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Justin Verlander. He fractured the hamate bone in his hand in spring training and then dealt with a stress reaction in his ribs, but Gelof should now serve as the team's starting second baseman the rest of the way. While the 25-year-old is a work in progress, he's worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in mixed fantasy leagues for his power/speed profile. He hit 17 homers and stole 25 bags in 138 games last year but also led the league with 188 strikeouts.

    Brenton Doyle Fri Jul 4 5:20pm CT

    Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle will retreat to the bench again for Friday's series opener at Coors Field against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Mickey Moniak is starting in center field and will hit fifth against White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser. This will be the second time in the last three games that Doyle has started on the bench for the Rockies. He's hitting just .201 (57-for-284) on the season, but the 27-year-old is actually in the midst of a four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-15 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored. Still, it's been a highly disappointing 2025 for Doyle, who has six homers, 28 RBI and eight steals over the halfway mark after clubbing 23 long balls, driving in 72 and stealing 30 bags in 2024. Moniak is a DFS outfield sleeper to consider with three hits in his last three games. Believe it or not, he has 12 homers this year.

    Ryan Feltner Fri Jul 4 5:20pm CT

    The Colorado Rockies announced on Friday that they reinstated right-hander Ryan Feltner (back) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque. The team also outrighted outfielder Sam Hilliard to Albuquerque after he cleared outright waivers. The Rockies want to see more from Feltner after he gave up two home runs and nine walks in 10 2/3 innings on his minor-league rehab assignment with the Isotopes. The 28-year-old made six starts with the Rockies before his injury this year and posted a 4.75 ERA (4.34 FIP) and 1.48 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and 12 walks in 30 1/3 innings over six starts. Feltner also made a career-high 30 starts for Colorado last year, so he figures to be a starting rotation option for the team at some point in the second half. At best, he's a matchup-based deep-league streamer on the road in fantasy.

    Travis Bazzana Fri Jul 4 5:20pm CT

    Cleveland Guardians second base prospect Travis Bazzana (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League. The former first overall pick in last year's MLB Draft has been dealing with an oblique strain since May. However, the Oregon State product was finally cleared for game action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he could return to Double-A in the coming weeks. Before the injury, Bazzana spent his entire season with Double-A Akron. Through 33 games, Bazzana held a .252/.362/.433 slash line with five doubles, three triples, four home runs, and eight stolen bases. Given the time he missed with the injury, Fantasy managers should not expect Bazzana to debut in Cleveland this season.

    Rhys Hoskins Fri Jul 4 5:10pm CT

    Milwaukee Brewers slumping first baseman Rhys Hoskins finds himself on the bench yet again in Friday's series opener in Miami against the Marlins and right-hander Sergio Alcantara. Jake Bauers will make the start at first base and bat seventh. Hoskins has been benched in two of the last four games. The 32-year-old is in a rut at the plate right now, going 3-for-22 (.136) with no homers, one RBI, four walks and seven strikeouts in seven games since June 24. The cold stretch has brought his season line down to .239/.335/.418 with a .753 OPS. Bauers, who hits from the left side, hasn't been any better for the Brew Crew in 2025, going 23-for-108 (.213) with only five home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs and four stolen bases. He's also hitless in eight career at-bats against Alcantara with one RBI.

    Colson Montgomery Fri Jul 4 5:00pm CT

    Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery is batting seventh in his major-league debut on Friday at Coors Field against the hosting Colorado Rockies and right-hander Antonio Senzatela. Montgomery is a former first-rounder in 2021 and the club's No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. The 23-year-old got the call-up to the big leagues after hitting only .218 (47-for-216) with 11 home runs, 10 doubles, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and two steals in 55 games for Triple-A Charlotte. That shouldn't give fantasy managers in single-year leagues much confidence in him, but Montgomery should play regularly in the Windy City in another lost season. The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder hits from the left side and is often compared to Corey Seager because of his 30-homer potential. However, his plate discipline must improve, especially now that he's in the big leagues.

    Evan Carter Fri Jul 4 4:40pm CT

    Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter was reinstated from the bereavement list on Friday and is starting in center field and batting fifth in the series opener at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Randy Vasquez. Carter has struggled against lefties and has been injury-prone in his short time in the big leagues. However, the 22-year-old former second-rounder in 2020 has been quite attractive in fantasy when he's been hot, which has been the case when he's been on the field in 2025. He comes into Friday's action with a .283/.372/.444 slash line, an .816 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI, 17 runs and eight stolen bases in 99 at-bats. Carter has gone 26-for-91 (.286) with all four of his home runs and all 11 of his RBI against right-handed pitching this year. You could do much worse than inserting him into your DFS lineups against Vasquez.

    Grayson Rodriguez Fri Jul 4 4:20pm CT

    Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (lat) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Friday that featured fastballs and breaking balls, according to MLB.com's Jake Rill. Rodriguez said he's now thrown a few bullpens and is at 100% intensity. Still, there's no firm timetable on when he'll be cleared to face live hitters, and he said it will depend on how he's feeling. The 25-year-old has yet to pitch this year due right-elbow inflammation that he dealt with in spring training and a lat strain in late April. It sounds as though he should be able to face live hitters soon, but it remains to be seen. Rodriguez will eventually need to go on what will likely be a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment, too, so his 2025 debut probably won't come until August. It gives Rodriguez little time to make an impact for fantasy managers to close out the year.

    Rowdy Tellez Fri Jul 4 4:20pm CT

    The Texas Rangers agreed to a minor-league deal with free-agent first baseman Rowdy Tellez on Friday, league sources tell The Athletic's Will Sammon. Tellez will stay in the American League West after spending 62 games with the Seattle Mariners this year, where he slashed .208/.249/.434 with a weak .682 OPS, 11 home runs, six doubles, 27 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base in 185 at-bats. Tellez certainly has plenty of power still in his eighth major-league season, but he offers little else and won't be guaranteed to make an impact at the major-league level for the Rangers the rest of this year. Jake Burger is currently the team's starting first baseman, but if Tellez impresses in the minors, it's possible he could be a platoon option at the cold corner against right-handers in the second half.

    Adley Rutschman Fri Jul 4 4:10pm CT

    Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique) did some pre-game work on the field on Friday before the game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, including running from first to third, according to the Baltimore Banner's Danielle Allentuck. The Orioles don't expect Rutschman to return from the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break, but they are optimistic that the switch-hitting 27-year-old will be back for the start of the second half on July 18. Even though he's had a disappointing first half in 2025, he needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats. The former first overall pick in 2019 out of Oregon State is currently hitting just .227/.319/.372 with a .691 OPS, eight homers, 20 RBI and 31 runs in 242 at-bats. Veteran Gary Sanchez has become the O's primary catcher with Rutschman, Maverick Handley and Chadwick Tromp all on the IL.

    Daulton Varsho Fri Jul 4 4:00pm CT

    Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (hamstring) ran the bases on Thursday and felt good. He will repeat it in the coming days before starting a minor-league rehab assignment, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. Varsho could begin his rehab assignment this weekend and rejoin the big-league squad next week before the All-Star break, barring a setback. The 29-year-old has been out since May 31 with a hamstring injury, but the team's starting center fielder is on the cusp of a return. Varsho got a late start in 2025 because of offseason shoulder surgery and won't be doing fantasy managers any help in the batting average department, but he did hit eight home runs and drive in 20 in 92 at-bats before injuring his hamstring. The Blue Jays have been mixing and matching in center field of late with Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes.
