San Francisco Giants catcher
Patrick Bailey (neck) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Bailey was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's contest with neck spasms. He has now been diagnosed with a neck strain and will miss at least a week of action.
Andrew Knizner will do the catching on Wednesday and figures to see a majority of the time behind the plate while Bailey is out. In a corresponding move,
Logan Porter has been recalled from Triple-A and will serve as the backup catcher. Bailey hasn't done enough at the plate to warrant holding through the injury.

New York Yankees infielder
Jazz Chisholm Jr. (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This is great news after Chisholm was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to neck tightness. It appears his removal was precautionary and he's ready to go on Wednesday. Chisholm will cover third base and bat fifth versus left-hander
Kris Bubic. Fantasy managers can safely get Chisholm back in their lineups on Wednesday.

New York Yankees outfielder
Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Dominguez will now head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. It's a bit odd to see Dominguez heading to the bench after a three-hit game on Tuesday. He's slashing .246/.340/.402 with six home runs and 25 RBI this season. The potential is through the roof, but it might take some time for Dominguez to adjust to the big league level. Regardless, he's worth rostering in most 12-team formats.
Trent Grisham will cover center field and bat seventh versus left-hander
Kris Bubic on Wednesday.

Chicago White Sox infielder
Chase Meidroth is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. Meidroth will get a rest day here after starting in nine straight games. During that span, Meidroth is 12-for-33 with four RBI and at least one hit in seven of his last nine contests. He doesn't offer a ton of power, but his contact ability makes him worth a look in deep leagues.
Vinny Capra will cover shortstop and bat ninth versus right-hander
Ryan Gusto on Wednesday.

Athletics rookie first baseman
Nick Kurtz received the day off in Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels for rest purposes after he recently returned from the injured list due to a hip injury.
Tyler Soderstrom got the start at first base and hit third in the batting order for the A's in Anaheim. Kutz returned to the lineup on Monday and went 1-for-8 with a double and three strikeouts in the first two games of the series against the Halos. The 22-year-old former fourth overall pick last year out of Wake Forest quickly worked his way up through the minors and has impressive long-term upside, especially in the power department. He stands at 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds and should continue serving as the team's regular first baseman the rest of the way. In his first 102 MLB at-bats, Kurtz has hit .235 with five long balls, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Athletics shortstop
Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is considered day-to-day with left-hamstring tightness after missing a second straight game in Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. The team is hopeful that he could return for Friday's series opener in Kansas City against the Royals after a day off on Thursday. The 23-year-old former first-rounder was scratched from Tuesday's loss to the Halos and was also held out of the lineup on Wednesday as a precaution. The good news is fantasy managers should have him back at some point this weekend against the Royals. Wilson has been amazing through 64 games in 2025, slashing .366/.402/.520 with a .922 OPS, eight home runs, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored and five stolen bases. Although he rarely strikes out (16 times in 272 plate appearances), Wilson is due for regression in the average department.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder
Austin Hays (foot) had another MRI exam on Wednesday morning because of persistent pain in his left food, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer. The good news is that the MRI still showed no fracture in his foot, and he's been diagnosed with a deep bone bruise. The 29-year-old will be re-evaluated on Friday. Hays has served as the team's regular left fielder this year when he's been healthy, but the problem is he's already been on the injured list several times and doesn't appear close to a return to the big leagues. The former third-rounder by the Baltimore Orioles in 2016 has slashed .303/.346/.555 with a .901 OPS, six home runs, 25 RBI, 23 runs and two steals in his 119 at-bats. In the month of June with Hays on the IL, the Reds have mostly used a combination of
Will Benson and
Spencer Steer in left field.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander
Jesus Luzardo was in the early National League Cy Young conversation before allowing 20 earned runs on 21 hits (three homers) while walking five and striking out six in just 5 2/3 innings in his last two starts against the Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays. The 27-year-old southpaw was able to get back on track in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the visiting Chicago Cubs, giving up just one earned run on five hits while walking none and fanning 10 in six innings of work to pick up his sixth win of the season. It appears his last two starts were just a blip on the radar and he's now back on track after shutting down one of the best offenses in baseball in the Cubs. Luzardo remains a must-start in fantasy and has an excellent matchup next up on the docket next week against his former team, the Miami Marlins.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder
Andrew McCutchen had just one hit in Wednesday's game at PNC Park against the visiting Miami Marlins, but it was a big one. Serving as the designated hitter in the two-hole, McCutchen hit a three-run bomb off
Cal Quantrill in the sixth inning. The five-time All-Star and former MVP is in the twilight of his career but remains an everyday player for the last-place Pirates. McCutchen came into Wednesday's series finale against the Fish hitting .264/.356/.393 with a decent .749 OPS, five home runs, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base in 59 games played. The 38-year-old former first-rounder isn't going to provide much power or counting stats, but he extended his current hitting streak to five games with his sixth home run of the year on Wednesday.

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect
Walker Jenkins (ankle) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored on Tuesday for Single-A Fort Myers. However, the notable part of the performance were the two stolen bases he recorded, which should be an attestation that the ankle injury that kept him out of action until the beginning of June has fully healed. It's unclear how long the Twins' top prospect will rehab at Single-A before moving to High-A or rejoining Double-A Wichita, but given how much time he missed, it could be another week or so. Regardless, Jenkins has one of the best hit tools in the minor leagues and should hit the ground running when he gets back to Wichita, with sights on a move to Triple-A later in the year. Jenkins has moved up to No. 6 overall on MLB.com's top prospects list, and with his ceiling, should probably already be stashed away in dynasty leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect
Ryan Waldschmidt went 2-for-4 on Tuesday for High-A Hillsboro, walking once and homering in his third consecutive contest. The home run was a solo shot, and the 22-year-old also scored twice. The performance pushed his season-long slash line to .277/.434/.477 with nine home runs and seven steals, while his 51 runs scored lead the Northwest League and his 39 RBI are tied for the most in that category. The 31st-overall draft pick in the 2024 draft is also walking more than he's striking out, posting a 47:43 BB:K. It doesn't appear that he's overmatched at this level, so a few more weeks of hitting like this and he should be on his way to Double-A Amarillo.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop/outfield prospect
Konnor Griffin continued to hit in his first game at High-A Greensboro on Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. He was also caught stealing third base in his first attempt at that level. The Pirates' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 34) put together an outstanding start to the season at High-A Bradenton, slashing .338/.396/.536 with nine home runs and 26 steals over 50 games before his promotion. The 2024 ninth-overall draft pick is getting his first taste of professional baseball this season and is off to an impressive start. The 19-year-old has all the tools to get him through the minors quickly, and at this rate could see some at-bats at Double-A by season's end. Dynasty fantasy managers should have a real close eye on this one.
