Home Run Risers: September's Power Surgers

Cam Schlittler Dealing With Back Inflammation

New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler (back) has "felt a tweak here and there" and is dealing with mid-back inflammation in camp, manager Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The Yankees will keep him off the mound for now, but Schlittler will continue to throw. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day, and his back […]


Corbin Carroll has Surgery on his Hand

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) had surgery on Wednesday on his hand after breaking the hamate bone on his right (non-throwing) hand while taking a swing during live batting practice on Tuesday, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. It's not clear how long Carroll will be out, but in a best-case scenario, he could […]


Twins Acquire Anthony Banda From Dodgers

The Minnesota Twins acquired left-handed reliever Anthony Banda from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in exchange for international bonus money, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. The Dodgers designated Banda for assignment. In a corresponding move, the Twins designated pitcher Jackson Kowar (shoulder) for assignment. The 32-year-old Banda pitched well in relief for […]


Brewers Avoid Arbitration With William Contreras

The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Thursday that they avoided salary arbitration with catcher William Contreras by signing him to an undisclosed one-year deal with a club option for the 2027 season. Contreras' downtick in production last year most likely had to do with the fact that he played through a fracture in his left middle […]


Guardians Finalizing Two-Year Minor-League Deal With Ben Lively

The Cleveland Guardians are finalizing a two-year minor-league deal with free-agent right-hander Ben Lively (elbow) on Thursday, according to Zack Meisel of The Athletic. Lively had Tommy John surgery last June. The 33-year-old veteran is in camp with Cleveland this spring and will continue to rehab from UCL reconstruction and a flexor-tendon repair. The Guardians […]


Diamondbacks Bring Back Paul Sewald on One-Year Deal

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed right-handed reliever Paul Sewald to a one-year, $1.5 million deal on Thursday, pending a physical, according to Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Sewald was Arizona's closer in 2023 and had a career-high 34 saves that year, but he lost the role the following year before pitching with the Cleveland Guardians […]


Enrique Hernandez Returning to Dodgers

Free-agent infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez announced on his Instagram account on Thursday that he is re-signing an undisclosed one-year deal to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hernandez won't be ready for the start of the 2026 season after having left-elbow surgery this offseason. When the 34-year-old veteran returns, he'll resume his role in L.A. as […]


Zac Veen Unlikely to Break Camp With MLB Team

The Denver Post's Kyle Newman writes that someone would probably have to get injured for Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen to break camp with the major-league team. The Rockies are pretty set in the outfield right now with Brenton Doyle, Mickey Moniak, Jordan Beck, and Jack McCarthy, which leaves Veen on the outside looking […]


Ronny Mauricio a Candidate to Start At Shortstop?

New York Mets starting shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) underwent surgery to fix a broken hamate bone in his hand on Wednesday and might not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season. With Lindor sidelined this spring, infielders Ronny Mauricio, Vidal Brujan, Grae Kessinger, and Jackson Cluff will take reps at shortstop. The […]


Kyle Bradish Looking Sharp Early in Camp

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish has looked sharp early in camp and was seen striking out first baseman Pete Alonso on Thursday during live batting practice, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Although it was a small sample size of only 32 innings over six starts, Bradish looked outstanding in 2025 in his return from […]


Bo Bichette Won't Take Reps at Shortstop After Teammate's Injury

The New York Mets signed Bo Bichette this offseason to play third base, and The Athletic's Will Sammon writes that he "won't be taking reps at shortstop" following Francisco Lindor's surgery on the hamate bone in his hand. However, Sammon adds that it could change if Lindor's timetable changes. Early this spring with Lindor sidelined, […]


Dodgers Reach Contract Extension With Max Muncy

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday that they reached a contract extension with third baseman Max Muncy for one year and $10 million guaranteed, according to Jack Harris of The California Post. The deal also includes a $10 million club option for the 2028 season. Muncy will make $7 million in 2027. The 35-year-old […]


Drew Thorpe has Hit "Road Bumps" in his Recovery

Chicago White Sox right-hander Drew Thorpe (elbow) has hit what he described as "road bumps" in his recovery process, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Thorpe visited Dr. Keith Meister last week and was told that his ligament looks solid. Doctors believe his pain is coming from some tendinitis in his elbow. The 25-year-old was […]


Sebastian Walcott to Have Elbow Surgery, Could Miss Entire Season

Texas Rangers shortstop prospect Sebastian Walcott (elbow) will undergo elbow surgery and will likely miss most, if not all, of 2026, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Walcott was expected to start the season back in the minors, but he almost certainly would have made his major-league debut this year had he […]

2026 Fantasy Baseball Prospect Call-Up ETAs - Predicting Top MLB Prospect Timelines

Prospects, you can't live with them, and you can't live without them. One of the most difficult tasks each season in redraft leagues is trying to figure out which prospects to target or not target in your drafts, and when they might be up. I'm going to do my best to answer the latter part […]


No Restrictions for Andrew Painter in Spring Training

Philadelphia Phillies top pitching prospect Andrew Painter has no restrictions in spring training, and the Phillies are hoping he wins a rotation spot in camp, according to John Clark of NBC Sports. It's been a long road for Painter to this point after a tear in his UCL was discovered three years ago, which led […]

Luis Gil Throwing Live Batting Practice on Thursday

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Gil will throw live batting practice as he looks to get ready for a full 2026 season. Gil will face Aaron Judge, Amed Rosario, and Paul Goldschmidt out of the gate. The 2024 American League Rookie of the Year got a late start to 2025, making his season debut in […]


Coby Mayo Headed Back to the Hot Corner?

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/third baseman Coby Mayo was the subject of plenty of trade rumors this offseason after the O's signed Pete Alonso to play 1B on a five-year deal. Mayo has been an elite power prospect for the last few seasons, but he hasn't really established himself in the majors yet. He played 85 […]


Grant Holmes has No Restrictions, Could Claim Rotation Role

Atlanta Braves pitcher Grant Holmes (elbow) was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL last season and shut down at the end of July. He opted not to undergo surgery, instead resting and rehabbing, and now he wonders if it was a pre-existing condition, based on his quick recovery so quickly. The 29-year-old righty has no […]


DJ Herz Place on 60-Day Injured List

Washington Nationals starting pitcher DJ Herz (elbow) will continue to rehab from his Tommy John surgery to start the season and won't be available until mid-season at the earliest. He underwent the procedure last April, so he could return at some point this season, depending on how the recovery goes. The young lefty showed some […]


Julian Merryweather Joining Twins on Minor-League Deal

Free-agent relief pitcher Julian Merryweather is joining the Twins bullpen mix by signing a minor-league deal with an invite to camp. The 34-year-old righty has pitched for the Blue Jays and Cubs over the last six seasons, with his best year coming in 2023, when he went 5-1 with a 3.38 ERA and 3.52 FIP […]

Home Run (HR) Risers for Fantasy Baseball - September Power Surgers (2026)

Welcome, RotoBallers! In this article, we're going to take a look at players who had powerful finishes in 2025 to see if it's sustainable in 2026. Yes, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Cal Raleigh had the most home runs in September, but no, we're not going to discuss them. You know they're going to hit […]


Liam Hendriks Signs Minors Deal With Twins

Free-agent right-handed reliever Liam Hendriks signed a minor-league deal with the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Hendriks, a three-time All-Star, has only made 19 relief appearances since the start of the 2023 season due to injuries. The 37-year-old veteran […]


Chris Bassitt, Orioles Agree on One-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Chris Bassitt and the Baltimore Orioles agreed on a one-year, $18.5 million contract on Wednesday night, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 36-year-old now joins an overhauled Orioles rotation that also includes Shane Baz, Zach Eflin, Kyle Bradish, Trevor Rogers, and Dean Kremer. Bassitt will stay in the American League East after […]


Jake McCarthy Could Start in Right Field for Rockies

The Denver Post's Kyle Newman writes that new Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy "could very well end up starting in right field" to begin the 2026 season over Mickey Moniak. McCarthy can play all three outfield spots and will be the fastest Rockies player with a sprint speed in the 99th percentile. The 28-year-old finished […]


Jared Jones Placed on 60-Day Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Jared Jones (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for recently signed right-hander Jose Urquidy, according to Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Jones' placement on the 60-day IL was expected, as he's not projected to make his 2026 season debut until […]


Kris Bubic Wins Arbitration Case Against Royals

Left-hander Kris Bubic won his salary arbitration hearing against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Bubic will earn $6.15 million in 2026 after the team filed at $5.15 million. Bubic broke out in 2025 in his sixth year in the big leagues to earn his first All-Star nod, […]


Eric Lauer Loses Arbitration Hearing Against Toronto

Left-hander Eric Lauer lost his salary arbitration hearing against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Lauer will earn $4.4 million in 2026 instead of the $5.75 million he filed for. The 30-year-old veteran southpaw stepped up for Toronto in a swing role in 2025 after pitching in Korea […]


Bailey Falter Throws a Bullpen on Wednesday

Kansas City Royals left-hander Bailey Falter (biceps) was able to throw a bullpen session at spring training on Wednesday, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Falter missed the final five weeks of last season due to a left-biceps contusion, but he made a couple of minor-league rehab starts in late September and appears to be […]
