Colorado Rockies catcher/designated hitter
Hunter Goodman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's meeting with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Braxton Fulford will catch and hit eighth versus right-hander
Michael McGreevy, while
Yanquiel Fernandez will handle DH duties and bat seventh. Goodman will take a seat after blasting a two-run, 442-foot homer to help the Rockies to a 3-0 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has gone deep 23 times and slashed .275/.322/.519 with 66 RBI and 56 runs in 426 plate appearances during a breakout campaign. Goodman ranks third among catchers in both homers and RBI.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder
Lars Nootbaar (knee) is back in the lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. With
Victor Scott II sitting, Nootbaar will play center field and hit seventh versus left-hander
Austin Gomber. Nootbaar left early on Monday after fouling a ball off his knee, and the Cardinals held him out of the lineup on Tuesday as a result. After missing the second half of July with a rib injury, the 27-year-old has gotten off to a 6-for-26 start with no home runs or walks over seven games in August. Overall, Nootbaar has hit an underwhelming .227/.324/.375 with 12 homers, 40 RBI, 51 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 413 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/designated hitter
Willson Contreras (foot) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
Alec Burleson will man first and bat cleanup, and
Nolan Gorman will DH and hit fifth in a meeting with left-hander
Austin Gomber. Contreras had to exit Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Rockies early after taking a pitch off the right foot, but he was diagnosed with a bruise and shouldn't miss significant time. The 33-year-old has put together another quality offensive season, having slashed .255/.344/.443 with 16 homers, 65 RBI, 57 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 472 trips to the plate.

Detroit Tigers right-hander
Troy Melton will start the team's game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. It'll be the third start for the 23-year-old rookie, who has divided his time between the rotation and bullpen since the Tigers promoted him on July 23. Melton has made four appearances and recorded a 3.63 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP, 15 strikeouts, and four walks in 17 1/3 innings. On paper, he'll get a favorable draw against a Chicago team that ranks 27th in the majors in runs. However, after Melton combined for just 83 pitches in his two most recent appearances, he might not stay in for that long on Wednesday.

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect
Nolan McLean is set to make his MLB debut on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. McLean has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the league this season and is finally being rewarded with a promotion. The right-hander opened the regular season with Double-A but needed only 26 1/3 innings to prove he was ready to join Triple-A Syracuse. At Double-A, he posted a stellar 1.37 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Through 87 1/3 innings at the top level of the minor leagues, McLean posted a strong 2.78 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. During this stretch, McLean struck out 97 batters and allowed 38 free passes. Over his last four outings, he has looked very impressive, holding a 1.96 ERA and a strong 0.83 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect McLean to replace
Frankie Montas in the starting rotation for the foreseeable future.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander
Brock Stewart (shoulder), the Dodgers' big deadline acquisition for the bullpen, has some shoulder inflammation. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes they caught it early, but he's going on the 15-day IL, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. The Dodgers' bullpen continues to get hit with the injury bug, and Stewart will join
Brusdar Graterol (shoulder),
Michael Kopech (knee),
Evan Phillips (elbow),
Tanner Scott (elbow), and
Kirby Yates (back) on the injured list. Stewart had last appeared in Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. At this time, it seems unclear the level of severity of the shoulder injury, and that he will undergo further testing on Wednesday. Stewart has had a nice season thus far, with a 2.63 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 44/13 K/BB in 37 2/3 innings pitched.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced on Tuesday that they have placed infielder
Taylor Walls (groin) on the 10-day injured list and recalled outfielder
Tristan Peters from Triple-A Durham, Rays Communications reports. Walls had been day-to-day since injuring his groin last Friday, August 8, against the Seattle Mariners. Walls is a strong defensive player; however, he has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .220/.280/.319 with 36 runs scored, four home runs, 38 RBI, and four stolen bases. Additionally, his career slash line in his five MLB seasons is .195/.286/.298. Although this is tough news for the Rays team and their fans, Walls is not a recommended option in fantasy baseball and should remain on the waiver wire.

Milwaukee Brewers young star
Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Misiorowski injured his leg when
Seiya Suzuki hit a comebacker that struck Misiorowski's leg on July 28. He was diagnosed with a tibia contusion and appears to be heading in the right direction, and hasn't experienced any setbacks, as the swelling has gone down. Given his short stint on the IL, it appears likely he will require just one rehab start before joining the Brewers' rotation sometime next week. Misiorowski continues to be a must-start in all fantasy baseball formats, with his 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 36.7 percent strikeout rate. This minor setback should not limit his ceiling in any way.

Milwaukee Brewers catching prospect
Jeferson Quero went 2-for-3 with a home run during their contest against Triple-A Durham on Tuesday evening. This was Quero's first long ball since returning from the injured list on August 7. Since returning, the backstop has hit safely in all but one contest and held a 3:3 K:BB over this stretch. Before his injury, Quero held a .259/.333/.362 line with six doubles and just two home runs over his first 30 games of the Triple-A regular season. He missed part of the first half due to injury as well, but appears to be fully healthy. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the 22-year-old could be in the mix to join the Brewers for the stretch run. For now, the No. 65-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com should be left on the waiver wire. However, if he were to continue to hit for power, he would enter stash consideration.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect
Kevin McGonigle went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI during their contest on Tuesday evening against Double-A Chesapeake. This game snapped a six-game power drought for the budding star. Even though he did not go deep in his previous six games, he still held a strong .836 OPS over this stretch. Since joining Double-A Erie, the No. 6-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com has been nothing short of impressive, posting an elite .289/.384/.566 slash line with seven doubles, four home runs, and three stolen bases. McGonigle opened the regular season with High-A and held a .372/.462/.648 line across 36 games. The 30-year-old is quickly rising on prospect boards and is emerging as one of the game's top hitting prospects. He is on track to debut in the majors next season.

Boston Red Sox infield/outfield prospect
Kristian Campbell was able to snap his brief skid at Triple-A quickly. After riding an impressive 15-game hitting streak, the former top prospect went 0-for-9 across his next three games. After this short slump, Campbell bounced back in a big way, going 5-for-8 with a double and a home run over his last two contests. During his 15-game hitting streak, Campbell carried an elite .393/.469/.589 line with two doubles, three home runs, one stolen base, and a 12:7 K:BB. The Georgia Tech product opened the season with Boston but was sent back to the minor leagues after hitting a slump in May and June. However, given his strong play in the minor leagues and recent shift to first base, Campbell could find himself back in Boston soon. He is a top hitter to stash in all standard leagues.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect
Dylan Beavers has continued to stay hot at the plate and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Over his last 12 contests with the Norfolk Tides, the outfielder has posted a strong .313/.459/.667 slash line with two doubles and five home runs. During this impressive run, Beavers has held an 11:13 K:BB and even swiped two bags. After appearing in just nine Triple-A games last season, Beavers has taken a significant step forward this season and is on the verge of earning a call to the big leagues. In 91 total games at the top level of the Baltimore system, Beavers has posted an impressive .303/.419/.521 line with 14 doubles, 18 home runs, and 22 stolen bases. He should be viewed as a top hitter to stash in all leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect
Andrew Painter has had a rough stretch at Triple-A. In his last start on Sunday against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the former first-round pick allowed nine hits and seven earned runs through 4 1/3 innings. In his previous outing on August 5, Painter also struggled serving up five runs with a 4:4 K:BB through four innings of work against Scranton as well. However, before this rough two-game skid, Painter held a solid 3.12 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP over his last three outings, which suggested he may have been nearing the final stages of his development. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress at Triple-A as the Phillies could look to promote him to strengthen their rotation during the final months of the season. While he has struggled recently, he is still a strong stash option in standard formats, given his high strikeout upside.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect
Bubba Chandler struggled in his recent outing at Triple-A. Facing Omaha, the top pitching prospect in Pittsburgh served up six hits and three runs across four innings of work. He allowed two free passes and struck out only three. This was a bit of a step back compared to his previous outing, where he also allowed three runs but struck out seven and served up just one walk. Over his last eight starts, Chandler has had very mixed results, holding an overall 4.42 ERA with a 1.63 WHIP. During these 38 2/3 innings, Chandler has tallied 42 strikeouts with 29 walks. Through 96 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season, Chandler has posted a modest 3.82 ERA and a 1.42 WIP. Given his inconsistency, fantasy managers should only consider stashing him in deeper 12+ team formats.
