Chicago Cubs right-hander
Ben Brown will start Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network. Brown's last outing came on August 4 against the Cincinnati Reds, and he worked four innings while allowing two hits and one earned run with five strikeouts. In 19 games (15 starts) for the Cubs this season, Brown is 5-7 with a 6.04 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 104 strikeouts. The 25-year-old is an intriguing waiver-wire option because of his 25.4% strikeout rate, but Brown is also a persistent threat to cause harm in the ERA and WHIP categories.

Colorado Rockies right-hander
German Marquez (biceps) threw a bullpen session Saturday and is scheduled to throw live batting practice Tuesday, MLB.com reports. Marquez has been sidelined since July 21, meaning a rehab assignment is likely; however, the team has yet to announce whether that is necessary. While this is good news for German and the Rockies, at this time, Marquez is not a recommended fantasy option. He boasts a 5.67 ERA, a 1.64 WHIP, and a 6.68 K/9 in 98 1/3 innings pitched. In addition, he pitches in the least pitcher-friendly ballpark in the majors, Coors Field. Feel free to keep him on the waiver wire for the time being in redraft leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that
Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) could be cleared to take live batting practice by the end of the week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Kim has resumed taking part in most baseball activities since landing on the injured list July 29 due to left shoulder bursitis, but facing live pitching is an encouraging sign he is heading in the right direction to be cleared before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Late August appears to be realistic for the 26-year-old. Kim has produced when given the opportunities in a stacked lineup, slashing .304/.338/.406 with two home runs, 17 runs scored, 15 RBI, and 12 stolen bases in 146 plate appearances. Even when Kim does return, he will likely be in a platoon with
Miguel Rojas and
Tommy Edman (ankle), making it difficult to trust him in redraft formats.

The Cleveland Guardians are promoting former first overall pick second baseman
Travis Bazzana to Triple-A Columbus. Bazzana was the top pick in last year's MLB Draft out of Oregon State and is now just one stop away from the major leagues. After earning a brief taste of High-A following the draft last summer, Cleveland opted for Bazzana to open the 2025 campaign at Double-A. However, the 22-year-old missed time with injuries which halted his development. Since returning from the injured list, Bazzana has looked quite impressive at Double-A, which has resulted in his promotion. Through his last 18 games, he has held a .265/.367/.412 line with a .799 OPS. In 51 total games with Akron, Bazzana has carried a .256/.364/.426 line. He is worth monitoring as the Guardians could give him a brief taste of the majors before the end of the season.

The Seattle Mariners are promoting right-handed pitching prospect Ryan Sloan to High-A Everett, according to MiLB Central. The former second round selection from last year's MLB Draft out of York Community HS has spent the entire season at Low-A. Through 70 2/3 total innings with the Modesto Nuts, Sloan has posted a 3.44 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. During this stretch, Sloan has struck out 77 hitters and shown elite control, allowing only 15 free passes. Since June 18 (last 34 IP), Sloan has looked quite dominant, holding a 1.59 ERA with an impressive 0.85 WHIP. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should continue to keep a close eye on his status as he is quickly ascending prospect boards. If he can enjoy a strong start at High-A, he could be in the mix to spend most of the 2026 season at Double-A.

The New York Mets have promoted first base prospect
Ryan Clifford to Triple-A Syracuse, according to MiLB Central. Clifford was considered their No. 7-ranked prospect in their system prior to the promotion. The corner infielder has spent the entire season at Double-A. Through 105 games with Binghamton, Clifford posted a .243/.355/494 line with an .848 OPS. He tallied 18 doubles and launched an impressive 24 long balls while holding a 113:63 K:BB. During his first extended look at Double-A in 2024, Clifford held a lower .231/.359/.456 slash line with a .815 OPS. Fantasy managers should monitor his status at Triple-A, but it does not appear Clifford will be in the mix to join the MLB roster for the stretch run, as
Pete Alonso is no danger to lose at-bats in the major leagues.

New York Mets infield prospect
Jett Williams is set to be promoted to Triple-A Syracuse. Williams is considered their top-ranked prospect in the system on MLB Pipeline. The former 14th overall pick from the 2022 MLB Draft has spent the entire campaign at Double-A. Through 96 total games, Williams has enjoyed a very productive season, posting a .281/.390/.477 slash line with 29 doubles, 10 home runs, and 32 stolen bases. This was a much-needed bounce-back season for Williams as she struggled across the minor leagues last summer. Through 33 games split between Low-A, Double-A, and Triple-A, Williams held a much-lower .215/.358/.298 line with a low .656 OPS. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Williams as he could be in the mix to join the Mets for their playoff push if he can find his footing early at Triple-A.

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Jonah Tong is set to be promoted to Triple-A Syracuse, according to MiLB Central. Tong has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the entire minor leagues this season and is finally earning a much-deserved promotion. The right-hander has spent the entire regular season at Double-A and has looked quite impressive. Through 102 total innings, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the New York system has posted a stellar 1.59 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP. During this stretch, Tong has struck out 162 hitters and only served up 44 free passes. Since the start of June, Tong has been even more dominant, posting a near-perfect 1.09 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and a 90:20 K:BB. Given his dominance at Double-A, Tong may only need a brief taste of Triple-A before being considered to join the MLB roster.

New York Mets outfield prospect
Carson Benge was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday evening. Benge has enjoyed an impressive campaign at both High-A and Double-A and is being rewarded with yet another in-season promotion. Benge opened the campaign by making his High-A debut and wasted little time, posting a .302/.417/.480 line with a .897 OPS and four home runs through a 60-game stint. He was then bumped up to Double-A, where he posted a strong .317/.407/.571 across a 32-game stint. During this stretch, Benge posted an impressive .978 OPS and went deep eight times. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on the former 19th overall pick from last year's MLB Draft, as he could have an outside chance of joining the Mets during the final weeks of the regular season.

Washington Nationals left-hander
MacKenzie Gore (5-12) dominated the San Francisco Giants in an 8-0 blowout on Sunday to lock down his fifth win of the season. Gore threw six shutout innings and allowed three hits with 10 strikeouts against one walk in a much-needed return to form. After earning a place on the NL All-Star team in the first half of the season, Gore has allowed six-plus earned runs in three of five second-half outings. In his previous start, a 16-7 loss to the Athletics on Aug. 5, Gore was lit up for eight earned runs on 12 hits with no strikeouts and a walk across three innings. After rebounding on Sunday, he'll head into his next start Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4.09 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and 158:47 K:BB in 132 frames. Gore has excelled in two meetings this year with the Phillies, who have combined for just three earned runs and six hits with 19 strikeouts and no walks over 12 innings.

Chicago White Sox right-hander
Grant Taylor threw a perfect ninth inning to notch his fourth save in a 6-4 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Taylor tossed just eight pitches, seven for strikes, and struck out one for his first save since July 4. The last-place White Sox don't get many save opportunities or have one go-to closer, which is a headache for fantasy managers. Taylor, who's among a few candidates for saves in their bullpen, has pitched to a 3.91 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP, 30:9 K:BB, and six holds in 22 innings as a rookie.
