San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge (hamstring) went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored on Monday in his first rehab game with the ACL Giants. The Giants' top prospect is working his way back from a hamstringstrain that has kept him out since June 21. It's not clear how long the rehab assignment will last, but once complete, he'll return to Triple-A, where he was slashing .230/.284/.426 with three home runs in 16 games after earning a promotion from Double-A. The 6-foot-7 slugger is the Giants' first baseman of the future, and although he strikes out quite a bit, dynasty managers should be stashing him away based on his future power potential.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on July 22, according to MLB.com. Mountcastle was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right-hamstring strain and was moved to the 60-day injured list on June 23. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, he could be activated on July 30 or shortly thereafter. The 28-year-old right-handed hitter has been out since the end of May but should return to regular duties at first base in Baltimore when he's ready. In the meantime, expect Ryan O'Hearn and Coby Mayo to continue splitting time at the cold corner for the O's coming out of this week's All-Star break. Mountcastle had been a disappointment for fantasy managers before his hamstring injury, slashing .246/.280/.348 with a weak .628 OPS, only two homers, 15 RBI and 19 runs in 187 at-bats.

Veteran right-handed reliever David Robertson is throwing for interested clubs this week, according to The Athletic's Will Sammon. Robertson has been a free agent since the end of last season, but he could land with a team looking for help in the bullpen soon. Several teams, including the New York Mets and New York Yankees, have looked into Robertson, according to league sources. Robertson turned 40 in April, but he had a 3.00 ERA with 99 strikeouts and 27 walks with the Texas Rangers in 2024. From 2022-24, he averaged 63 appearances per year with a 2.82 ERA. The former 17th-round pick by the Yankees in 2006 out of Alabama has 177 career saves in 16 MLB seasons and has also pitched for the Marlins, Phillies, Cubs, White Sox, Rays and Rangers. Because of his wealth of experience in high-leverage roles, it's not out of the question for Robertson to become fantasy relevant in the second half.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is eyeing a return to the outfield after the All-Star break and is planning on resuming drills in the outfield, according to The Sporting Tribune's Thomas Murray. However, there's no exact timetable on when Trout will return to right field. Trout has been a full-time designated hitter for the Halos since returning on May 30 from a stint on the injured list due to a bone bruise on his right knee, the same knee he had surgery on last year for a torn meniscus. He has hit .278 with seven home runs and 18 RBI in 37 games since his return, a positive sign for the three-time MVP that has dealt with injuries the last few years. When/if Trout returns to duties in right field, Jorge Soler will shift to a full-time DH role in Anaheim. Expect the Angels to give Trout plenty of rest in the DH spot, too, if he returns to right field.

Miami Marlins reliever Jesus Tinoco (forearm) is continuing a throwing program he started on June 16 and is "close to getting back on the mound," according to MLB.com. The 30-year-old right-hander was placed on the 15-day IL with a right forearm strain in early June. Before the injury, Tinoco had worked 19 1/3 innings with a 5.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 10 strikeouts, and four saves. His 3.26 xERA was significantly lower than his actual number, but his putrid 12.5% strikeout rate was also much worse than the 25.9% K rate he posted in 2024. He could get back in the mix for saves in the Marlins bullpen upon his return. Miami has opted for a committee approach led by breakout right-hander Ronny Henriquez in his absence.

Left-handed relief pitcher Joe Mantiply and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to terms on a minor-league deal. The 34-year-old veteran was knocked around this year, giving up 17 runs on 26 hits in just 9 2/3 innings. He had a 15.83 ERA and 9.39 FIP, while serving up five homers and letting lefties go 12-for-25 (.480) with a .658 wOBA in that small sample size. He had been an important contributor to Arizona's bullpen for the last four years before his rough start to 2025, posting a combined 3.63 ERA over 198 1/3 innings. After his tough start and diminished velocity, he was released by the Diamondbacks earlier this year, and now the Blue Jays will see if he has anything left to contribute as they chase the AL East title. Mantiply does provide solid veteran depth in the organization, but he doesn't have a clear path to a role right now with Justin Bruihl and Brendon Little as the Blue Jays' current southpaws in the bullpen.

Left-handed pitcher Foster Griffin hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022, but he could be one of the most under-the-radar free agents this coming offseason. He split time in 2022 between the Royals and Blue Jays before joining the Yomiuri Giants in the Nippon Professional League. This year, he has posted a 0.75 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 12 games (11 starts). He is 6-0 with a 1.39 FIP and 0.86 WHIP in his 72 innings. Griffin reportedly switched up his arsenal this year, catching the eye of several MLB teams with his strong start to the season, according to Fansided's Robert Murray. Griffin will be a name to watch this offseason as teams look to fortify their rotations, and he could be very productive, despite his non-traditional path through Japan.

The Boston Red Sox may be circling Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Charlie Morton as a trade deadline target, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and Fox Sports. The 41-year-old Morton's season-long numbers are unimpressive, as he's posted a 5.18 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with 88 strikeouts in 83 1/3 innings (14 starts). However, Morton has turned it on of late. Across seven starts in June and July, Morton is 4-0 with a 2.72 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts in 36 1/3 innings. The veteran gives up a significant amount of hard contact on the ground, which has led to an elevated .331 BABIP and will continue to impact his WHIP. However, he still racks up strikeouts and could be in line for more win chances if moved to Boston or any other contender.

According to Jon Heyman, the Yankees are looking to fix their issues at third base with an obvious but effective option--Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Suarez is slashing .250/.320/.569 and leads the NL with 78 RBI. He has crushed 31 home runs this year for Arizona, but his team is still just 47-50 at the break, sitting 11 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and 5.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. With so many injuries to their pitching staff, the Dbacks are expected to be sellers at the deadline, and Suarez should be one of the best bats on the market. Heyman also mentions Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon as other potential fits if a deal for Suarez can't be struck.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (hamstring) was scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Monday in the Florida Complex League, but it "doesn't appear he did," according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. It's been a rough year so far for Varsho. He missed nearly all of April while recovering from shoulder surgery, then strained his hamstring on May 31 and has not played since. In exactly 100 plate appearances before getting hurt, Varsho slashed .207/.240/.543 with eight home runs, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, and one stolen base. In an admittedly small sample, his 17.2% barrel rate was by far the best of his career and his .509 xSLG largely backed up his power surge. Much of Varsho's value to the Blue Jays comes from his stellar defense, so they'll want to be sure his hamstring is ready to go before he rejoins the team. It's unclear at this point whether he suffered a setback in his recovery efforts, or if the team's plans for him were altered for some other reason.

The Minnesota Twins have had no conversations about trading star pitcher Joe Ryan, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. Minnesota is 47-49, 11 1/2 games behind the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central and four games behind the Seattle Mariners for the final American League Wild Card spot. However, Ryan is under team control through the 2027 season, so there's no pressure on the Twins to make a move now. The 29-year-old is having his best year so far in 2025. In 109 1/3 innings (18 starts), Ryan is 9-4 with a 2.72 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 121 strikeouts. His 22.9% K-BB rate is excellent, and opposing batters are hitting just .195 against him. Whether he remains in Minnesota or eventually gets moved, Ryan profiles as a high-level fantasy option.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia has been asked about in trade conversations by "several teams," according to Francys Romero. The 32-year-old Garcia is under team control through 2026, so he'd be more than just a trade deadline rental for a contending team. In 373 plate appearances this season, Garcia is slashing .232/.279/.404 with 13 home runs, 56 RBI, 34 runs, and nine stolen bases. However, his 24.7% strikeout rate is the best of his career, and both his .253 xBA and .479 xSLG point to possible second-half improvement. Garcia is still a decent power/speed option in fantasy, and a move to a stronger offense at the trade deadline could help his counting stats, particularly runs scored.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough is "optimistic" that starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (elbow) will be back in the rotation after the All-Star break, according to Mike Cugno of CBS Miami. The 27-year-old right-hander left his final start before the break on July 11 against the Baltimore Orioles after four innings due to elbow discomfort, but imaging on the elbow came back clean. Cabrera has had a solid season to this point, posting a 3-4 record with a 3.61 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 86 strikeouts in 82 1/3 innings (16 starts). Walks have historically been an issue for Cabrera, but he's logged a manageable 8.6% BB rate so far. He's been talked about as a potential trade deadline target for contending teams, so he could find himself in a more favorable situation for wins down the stretch of the season.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Juan Morillo was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday. The Diamondbacks have suffered numerous bullpen injuries this season. Despite this, the 26-year-old flamethrower was sent down after posting a 4.94 ERA with a 1.72 WHIP and a 23.0% strikeout rate in his first 27 1/3 innings pitched at the big-league level. He was effective at Triple-A for 7 1/3 innings at the beginning of the season, so he will try to engrain that success for a larger sample to earn another shot at the big leagues.

While he did not win, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz drew plenty of attention in Monday's T-Mobile Home Run Derby in Atlanta. The 26-year-old, who is known for impacting the ball harder than almost anyone, led the first round with 21 HR. This included a 513-foot blast hit at 118 MPH. The shot tied the record for the longest homer hit in the Derby outside of Coors Field. He matched up against eventual winner Cal Raleigh in the semifinals and fell 18-13. Even so, Cruz hit plenty of baseballs very hard and very far, breaking the Pirates' franchise record for most home runs in the Derby. In the context of everyday games, Cruz has had a middling season. He has accumulated plenty of counting stats with 16 HR, 49 runs scored, 37 RBI, and 29 stolen bases, but has managed a pedestrian .212/.319/.414 slash line in 360 plate appearances. Fantasy managers may be willing to live with his lower batting averages given his electrifying power-speed combination, and he has plenty of room to regress in the second half.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his elite power surge on Monday, taking home the trophy in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby in Atlanta. With his dad as the pitcher and his younger brother as the catcher, Raleigh became the first catcher and switch-hitter to win the Derby. The 28-year-old barely made it out of the first round, tying with Brent Rooker for the fourth spot with 17 HR but advancing due to his longest homer being one inch farther than Rooker's. He then defeated Oneil Cruz in the semifinals with 13 HR, and bested Junior Caminero in the finals with 18 HR. It seems fitting that Raleigh would win, as he is having a career season and leads baseball with 38 HR. He will head into the second half with a .259/.376/.634 slash line, 65 runs scored, 82 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 417 plate appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks catching prospect Adrian Del Castillo had a big day at the plate on Sunday for Triple-A Reno, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, two home runs, and six RBI. The D-backs' sixth-ranked prospect came off of the IL at the beginning of July after missing a couple of weeks with a back injury, but also got a late start to the season as a result of a shoulder injury suffered in the spring, so has logged just 14 games in Reno thus far in 2025. The 25-year-old is hitting .288 with four home runs during his limited action, and his OBP comes in at .386 thanks to a strong 14.3 percent walk rate. The left-handed hitting backstop made his MLB debut last year with solid results, slashing .313/.368/.525 with four home runs, 19 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 25 games, although a 32.2 percent strikeout rate could limit his upside. Either way, Gabriel Moreno is nearing a return, but if another opportunity opens up with the big league club, expect Del Castillo to be given another shot, and he could be a worthwhile add in deeper leagues given his batting average, power, and RBI potential.

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge (hamstring) was sent on a minor league rehab assignment on Monday with the team's Arizona Complex League affiliate. The Giants' top-ranked prospect suffered a moderate right hamstring strain and hasn't played in a game since June 21. The 6-foot-7 slugger began the year at Double-A and hit .280 with seven home runs and a .350 OBP, which was enough to earn a promotion to Triple-A. In 16 games at Sacramento, the former first-round draft pick has gone deep three times, but is hitting just .230 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate and a below-average 7.5 percent walk rate. If he can get on a roll when he returns, a September call-up could be in the cards, otherwise, look for the JMU product to make his MLB debut next year.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Ryan Ward earned Pacific Coast League Player of the Week honors for the week of July 7-13. The 27-year-old went 9-for-21 (.429) with four doubles, a triple, and one home run, along with six RBI, four runs scored, and a 6:3 BB:K in six games for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The left-handed slugger is up to a .309/.399/.597 slash line for the season, and his 108 hits, 24 home runs, and 82 RBI lead all minor leaguers. He's always had big power, but through 261 games at Triple-A prior to this year, he registered a 26.1 percent strikeout rate. However, this season he has cut that down to a better-than-average 20.0 percent, complemented by a strong 13.1 percent walk rate. If he gets the call to the majors, the power potential and offensive environment could make him an intriguing waiver add in very deep and NL-only leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter allowed three earned runs on six hits, including two home runs, but did not walk a batter and struck out four in five innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. The Phils' top prospect (MLB No. 9) began the year with a 3.18 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, a 20.5 percent K-BB%, and a 0.95 HR/9 through his first eight starts (28 1/3 IP), but over his last eight starts (38 2/3 IP), the righty has posted a 6.05 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, a 15.2 percent K-BB%, and a 2.33 HR/9. Hopefully he's just working on some things, and these are the growing pains of life in Triple-A, as the 6-foot-7 hurler was expected to make his major league debut this season. That still might happen for the former first-rounder, and if he lives up to expectations, then he should remain a stash candidate for those in need of pitching help in deep and NL-only leagues.
