Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis (shoulder) will be shut down for the foreseeable future after experiencing shoulder discomfort while ramping up at the team’s player development complex. He will be shut down for at least 10 days. Sidelined since June 15, the 29-year-old had been building himself back up with a planned bullpen session on July 8. Days after he completed the bullpen, he had reportedly suffered renewed soreness. The Jays believe extended time away from baseball activities will help the symptoms subside. Francis has gone (2-8) with a 6.05 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP this season. Fantasy managers in most leagues can move on from Francis as he's not expected to come back until mid-August at the earliest and is unlikely to rejoin Toronto’s starting rotation even when he does return.--Dave Funnell - RotoBallerSource: Adren Zwelling

Right-handed pitcher Tanner Rainey has signed a minor-league deal with the Detroit Tigers. The 32-year-old Rainey has spent 2025 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, splitting time between the majors and Triple-A Indianapolis. Detroit has assigned him to Triple-A Toledo. In 197 career big-league innings, Rainey has pitched to a 5.44 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 245 strikeouts. He owns an impressive 27.7% career strikeout rate, but his inflated 14.8% career walk rate limits his effectiveness. Rainey logged 12 saves in 2022 while pitching for the Washington Nationals, but he no longer profiles as a high-leverage option at this point in his career.--Will BradySource: Tigers Torkmoil

Houston Astros right-hander J.P. France (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session this past Tuesday and is scheduled to make a rehab appearance in the Florida Coast League this upcoming week, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. France underwent surgery to repair a tear in his right shoulder capsule in July 2024 and has been on the 60-day injured list for the entirety of 2025. He struggled through 25 1/3 innings (five starts) before getting injured in 2024, pitching to a 7.46 ERA and 1.70 WHIP with 22 strikeouts. France was much better in 136 1/3 innings (23 starts) in 2023, going 11-6 with a 3.83 ERA and 101 strikeouts. Given how long he's been out, he'll likely need an extended ramp-up period before he returns. France is unlikely to factor for fantasy in 2025, but he could be a name to monitor heading into 2026, depending on how things shake out with the rest of Houston's rotation.--Will BradySource: MLB.com - Brian McTaggart

Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (elbow) completed his rehab assignment this past Thursday, finishing five starts with a 5.74 ERA over 15 rehab innings. He threw one of those games for Double-A Portland and the other four for Triple-A Worcester. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that the team hasn't decided where he will play next, but it needs to be decided soon. Houck has struggled mightily this season, posting an 8.04 ERA over nine early-season starts before going to the injured list with a right flexor pronator strain. According to Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, there are many options on the table, such as a starter or a reliever for the Red Sox, or getting optioned back to Triple-A.--Dave Funnell - RotoBallerSource: Masslive - Christopher Smith

Kansas City Royals reliever James McArthur (elbow) suffered a setback in his recovery from a fractured right elbow, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. McArthur has two screws placed in the elbow over the offseason, but wasn't responding well and has since had the screws removed. He's undergoing tests to determine the next course of action, and his return timeline is unclear. In 56 2/3 innings (57 games) for the Royals in 2024, McArthur was 5-7 with a 4.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 49 strikeouts, and 18 saves. He lost the closer role to Lucas Erceg in the middle of the season and was pushed even further down the bullpen pecking order when Kansas City signed Carlos Estevez this past winter. Given this latest setback, it seems unlikely that McArthur will pitch in 2025. If he requires a second elbow procedure, he may miss time in 2026 as well.--Will BradySource: MLB.com - Anne Rogers

New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) and reliever Mark Leiter Jr. (leg) are both working their way through throwing programs, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Yarbrough has beenread more...

New York Yankees reliever Fernando Cruz (oblique) is recovering well from his left oblique strain and could resume playing catch over the weekend, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Cruz has been on the 15-day injured list since late June with what was diagnosed as a "high-grade" strain, and he's not expected to return until August. He's a valuable high-leverage reliever for the Yankees. Before getting hurt, Cruz had pitched to a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 54 strikeouts and two saves in 33 innings. As long as Devin Williams and Luke Weaver are healthy, Cruz should not be expected to earn more than the occasional save chance for the Yankees.--Will BradySource: MLB.com - Bryan Hoch

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder) was spotted playing catch in the outfield before his team's game against the Houston Astros on Friday. Robles was placed on the 60-day injured list in early April after dislocating his right shoulder. The initial timeline provided by the team indicated that Robles would be sidelined for "at least" 12 weeks, and more recent reporting suggests that he is not expected to return before September. The 28-year-old had an excellent 77-game stretch with Seattle in 2024, slashing .328/.393/.467 with four home runs and 30 stolen bases. Unfortunately, it appears that 2025 will likely be a lost season for Robles. If he is able return in September, he could be a valuable late-season pickup for fantasy managers in need of stolen bases.--Will BradySource: Seattle Sports - Shannon Drayer

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (forearm) made his fourth rehab appearance at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. The right-hander faced three batters and threw eight pitches, all of which were strikes, and he struck one batter out while not allowing a hit or a walk. He's now allowed one earned run on just one hit (a home run) and a walk while striking out five in four innings pitched. The 37-year-old has been out since mid-April with a strained right forearm, but posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 19.4 percent K-BB% before going down with the injury. The 6-foot-5 hurler should be able to return within a week, and could be in a position to pick up some saves down the stretch with Tanner Scott having a tenuous hold on the closer role.--Jarod RuppSource: Bill Plunkett

Veteran pitcher Daniel Bard has decided to retire after debuting back in 2009. The 40-year-old had recently signed on with the Mariners, but was placed on the 7-day injured list on July 8, according to the MiLB.com transactions page, retiring a little over a week later. After dealing with "the yips" for years and other ailments, Bard had not been in the major leagues from 2014 through 2019, but when he made a return in 2020, the former first-round draft pick won NL Comeback Player of the Year. The 6-foot-4 right-hander also saved 54 games for the Rockies between 2021 and 2022. He'll finish with a career 3.74 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 475 strikeouts in 457 1/3 innings pitched.--Jarod RuppSource: Patrick Lyons

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers (calf) will continue to rehab in Houston, but is still expected to be out until sometime in early-to-mid August. The 29-year-old suffered a calf strain that's kept him out since July 9, which has put his career year on hold for now. The right-handed slugger was slashing .308/.369/.405 with three home runs and 14 stolen bases prior to the injury, good for a .342 wOBA and 120 wRC+. Hitting so well, he was batting in the two-hole for the Astros and saw his run-scoring production tick up while he was there, so if he can get rolling when he returns, Meyers could be a viable fantasy bench option who can help with batting average, runs, and stolen bases.--Jarod RuppSource: Brian McTaggart

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) played catch for the first time on Friday, a small but positive step in the right direction as he works his way back from a strained rotator cuff. The veteran righty is not eligible to return until mid-August, but with the Rangers just 3.5 games behind in the Wild Card race, they'll welcome him back with open arms. The 30-year-old was in the midst of a career year before he succumbed to injury yet again, going 6-3 while posting a 2.34 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. The low strikeout totals (6.55 K/9) are a bummer for fantasy, but he's only rostered in 48 percent of Yahoo! leagues and can contribute in three categories, so he could still help fantasy managers get to the playoffs.--Jarod RuppSource: Jeff Wilson

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (ribs), who is in the midst of working his way back from a small rib fracture and recently began light baseball activities, has traveled to the team's facility in Florida to continue a hitting, running, and throwing progression. The 27-year-old has been on the shelf since June 28, but was having a phenomenal season before suffering the rib fracture. The right-handed slugger boasted a .322/.378/.489 slash line with 11 home runs, 15 steals, a .376 wOBA, and a 144 wRC+ through 82 games. The expectation is that he'll return later this month, and fantasy managers will be happy to have the multi-category producer back in their lineups.--Jarod RuppSource: Brian McTaggart

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki (shoulder) has been working his way back from a shoulder impingement, currently in the bullpen session phase of the progression, and was throwing up to 90 mph in recent sessions. The next step will be to face live hitters, and he still appears to be on track for a return in late August. The Dodgers' rotation needs aren't as dire as they were earlier this season when they were without Tyler Glasnow, Clayton Kershaw, and Shohei Ohtani, but that can always change in an instant. Hopefully when Sasaki returns, the 23-year-old will be able to post better numbers than he was able to log during his time on the mound before the injury. The Japanese righty registered a 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and an ugly 1.3 percent K-BB% through eight starts (34 1/3 innings pitched).--Jarod RuppSource: Fabian Ardaya

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Bubba Chandler took a step back in his most recent outing on Friday evening against Triple-A Nashville. In this outing, the top pitching prospect in the sport on MLB.com allowed eight hits and five earned runs across 3 2/3 innings. He served up two walks and allowed two home runs. He struck out four hitters. This was a rough showing for Chandler, who had recently begun to turn the corner after a disastrous June. In his first two starts of July, the right-hander tossed 12 shutout innings with a 1.17 WHIP and a 13:4 K:BB. However, in June, Chandler posted an 8.53 ERA with a 2.29 WHIP through 12 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development as he could contend for a second-half MLB debut if he can find his footing at Triple-A.--Andy SmithSource: MiLB.com
