After appealing his 10-game suspension, Seattle Mariners outfielder
Victor Robles' suspension has been reduced to seven games, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Robles will begin serving the suspension on Friday and will not be available for the series opener in Cleveland against the Guardians. Robles won't be able to return to the Mariners' lineup until Sept. 6. With the 28-year-old out for the next seven games, expect to see more of the left-handed-hitting
Luke Raley in Seattle's starting lineup. Robles broke out for the M's after coming to Seattle, slashing .328/.393/.467 with four home runs, 26 RBI and 30 stolen bases in only 77 games played. However, he's looked more like the version he showed with the Nationals in his first eight MLB seasons in 2025, hitting .246 (14-for-57) with no homers, five RBI and only four steals in only 14 games.

The St. Louis Cardinals are placing catcher
Yohel Pozo (concussion) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and are recalling rookie catching prospect
Jimmy Crooks from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move, sources tell Katie Woo of The Athletic. Pozo took a foul tip off his mask in Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and was examined by a trainer before staying in the game. The 28-year-old is evidently in the league's concussion protocol and will now be out for at least a week. Crooks will serve as St. Louis' third backstop for the time being behind
Pedro Pages and
Ivan Herrera. Per MLB Pipeline, he's the team's No. 6 prospect and was hitting .274 (107-for-390) with 14 home runs and 79 RBI in 98 games for Memphis before his call-up. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Crooks to see much playing time.

The St. Louis Cardinals placed infielder/outfielder
Alec Burleson (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with right-wrist inflammation and called up rookie second baseman
Cesar Prieto from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move, according to The Athletic's Katie Woo. Burleson's right wrist caused him to be pulled early from Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after he also missed a game last week with the same injury. The Cardinals are hoping that he'll be recovered in another 10 days, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to return when eligible to come off the IL on Sept. 8. At least until
Victor Scott II (ankle) comes off the IL, expect
Nathan Church to be a regular in St. Louis' outfield. The left-handed-hitting Burleson has been one of the Cards' more consistent offensive players in 2025, as he's hitting .286/.337/451 with a .788 OPS, 16 homers, 60 RBI, 47 runs and five steals.

Houston Astros outfielder
Taylor Trammell (neck) was scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday night. Trammell is working his way back from a concussion and cervical strain in his neck on Aug. 21 but is now ready to play in games on the farm. Depending on how he bounces back, the 27-year-old could be ready to rejoin the big-league roster by early next week. However, with
Yordan Alvarez back in the fold for the Astros, Trammell will most likely be a bench outfielder for the first-place squad when he's activated off the 10-day injured list. The former first-rounder of the Cincinnati Reds in 2016 has hit just .208 (20-for-96) with three home runs, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases in his 42 games played with Houston this year. Trammell belongs on the waiver wire in most mixed fantasy leagues.

The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a minor-league contract with outfielder/designated hitter
Eloy Jimenez, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. Jimenez had been available since the Tampa Bay Rays released him from a minor-league deal on July 11. He hit .278/.335/.397 with three home runs in 40 games with the Rays' Triple-A affiliate in Durham, and he spent time on the injured list twice. Injuries have consistently been an issue for the 28-year-old Jimenez since he debuted in 2019 as a highly touted prospect with the White Sox. As a rookie, he played in 122 games and swatted 31 homers, both of which remain career highs. Also a former Baltimore Oriole, Jimenez is a lifetime .269/.318/.462 hitter with 95 homers over 534 games and 2,126 plate appearances. The first-place Blue Jays don't have an obvious need for Jimenez on their roster, so it's unlikely he'll make an impact in the majors this year.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will skip right-hander
Mike Burrows' turn in the rotation this week, but he will be available out of the bullpen for their weekend series against the Boston Red Sox. Pirates skipper
Don Kelly said the team wants to manage Burrows' innings. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023 and returned to amass 54 2/3 innings between the minors and majors last year. Burrows has already combined for 109 frames this season between Triple-A Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old has made 17 appearances (16 starts) for the Pirates and logged a respectable 4.23 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP, 78 strikeouts, and 28 walks.

New York Yankees outfielder
Austin Slater (hamstring) is progressing in his recovery from a strained left hamstring and has begun participating in some baseball activities and on-field drills. The 32-year-old suffered the injury on Aug. 4 in just his third game after joining the Yankees in a trade with the Chicago White Sox. It was estimated then that he would miss four to six weeks, so the reserve outfielder should make it back sometime in September. Slater has hit .223/.284/.400 with five homers, 12 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 142 plate appearances this season.
UPDATE: Slater is starting a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.--Connor ByrneSource: MLB.com

Baltimore Orioles catching prospect
Samuel Basallo has had a slow start to his MLB career. Through his first 10 games with the MLB club, the top catching prospect in the sport has posted an underwhelming .200/.243/.257 slash line with just two doubles. He has yet to go deep and has scored only one run and tallied five RBI. Despite his modest production, Basallo has shown a strong eye at the plate, posting an elite 26.7% strikeout rate while generating an impressive 76.7 mph bat speed, which suggests his power numbers should increase over the final month. Earlier this season, Basallo was flashing immense upside at Triple-A, carrying a .270/.377/.589 line with a .966 OPS and 23 home runs. Given that he is only 21 years old, fantasy managers should expect Basallo to find his footing in the majors slowly. While he has gotten off to a slow start, managers in all standard 12-team leagues should continue to view him as a high-power upside catcher going forward.

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect
Jordan Lawlar has continued to produce since returning from the injured list and is making a strong case to join the MLB roster for the stretch run. Over his last 10 games since returning to Reno, the former first-round pick has posted a .279/.367/.465 slash line with three doubles, one triple, one home run, and two stolen bases. During this stretch, he has only gone hitless in two games. Through 63 total games with the Reno Aces this season, the top-ranked prospect in the desert has posted a strong .313/.403/.564 line with 22 doubles, 11 home runs, and 20 stolen bases. Despite this elite production, Lawlar has yet to turn the corner in the major leagues, holding a career .259 OPS. With the Diamondbacks out of the playoff picture, fantasy managers should expect Lawlar to be given another look in the big leagues in the near future. He is a top hitting prospect to stash in all 12-team formats.

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitching prospect T.J. Nichols struck out 10 hitters across seven innings of one-run ball against Double-A Biloxi on Thursday evening. This was a nice bounce-back outing for Nichols, as he allowed three runs across five innings in his last outing. Since serving up four runs on August 1, the No. 25-ranked prospect in the Tampa Bay system according to MLB.com has logged 25 innings to the tune of a 1.44 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 26:5 K:BB. The 23-year-old opened the season with High-A but needed just 18 starts to prove he was ready to make the jump to Double-A. Given Nichols's strong start to his Double-A career, allowing just four runs across four starts, fantasy managers in dynasty formats should keep an eye on his progression as he should be in the mix to contend for his MLB debut next season.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder
Aidan Smith continued his impressive power run on Thursday evening. Facing High-A Greenville, Smith went 4-for-5 with two home runs and a stolen base. Over his last 10 contests, the fifth--ranked prospect in the Tampa Bay system has posted a .395/.439/.658 slash line with one double, three home runs, eight stolen bases, and a 9:3 K:BB. Overall, the outfielder sits with a modest .236/.329/.394 line across his first extended taste of High-A this season. However, Smith has clearly been taking the next steps and is flashing immense power and speed upside. Given his late-season surge, fantasy managers should expect the Rays to bump him up to Double-A during the first half of the 2026 season.
