Texas Rangers right-hander
Tyler Mahle (shoulder) will start throwing next week, manager Bruce Bochy said Thursday. Mahle hasn't pitched since June 10 because of a strained rotator cuff, which caused the Rangers to transfer him to the 60-day injured list on July 1. As a result, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Rangers until mid-August. Mahle was a key part of the Rangers' rotation before the injury interrupted his season, as he went 6-3 with a stingy 2.34 ERA and 56:27 K:BB in 77 innings. Unfortunately, staying healthy has been a problem for the 30-year-old, who has combined for just 22 starts since 2023.

Texas Rangers right-hander
Jon Gray (wrist) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, manager Bruce Bochy announced. Gray made his first start Wednesday and threw two innings of one-run ball over 32 pitches. He'll build on that total next time out as he continues working back from the fractured wrist that he suffered in spring training. From 2022-24, his first three years with the Rangers, Gray amassed 72 starts in 76 appearances and pitched to a 4.16 ERA with 8.41 K/9 and 2.81 BB/9 across 387 1/3 innings. He'll be an option for the Rangers' rotation in the second half of the season.

Washington Nationals outfielder
Dylan Crews (oblique) is ramping up activities as he works back from a strained right oblique, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Crews threw for the first time in seven weeks on Wednesday, and he participated in defensive drills before the Nationals' game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. While Crews isn't quite ready to take on-field batting practice, interim manager Miguel Cairo is confident that the 23-year-old will start a rehab assignment in the minors either a bit before or a little after the All-Star break. Crews, who last played May 20, got off to a slow start with the bat before landing on the injured list. He has hit .196/.266/.354 with seven homers, 15 RBI, 24 runs scored, and 11 steals in 173 plate appearances this season.

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect
Chayce McDermott (elbow) left his start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday with right-elbow discomfort, according to Jacob Calvin Meyer of the Baltimore Sun. McDermott exited after throwing 5 1/3 innings of one-run, three-hit ball with six strikeouts and one walk. The 26-year-old entered Thursday with an ugly 7.65 ERA, 35 strikeouts, and 32 walks in 37 2/3 Triple-A innings this season. He made two appearances with the Orioles back in May and endured similar struggles, as he surrendered seven earned runs on eight hits (three homers) with eight walks and seven strikeouts over 7 2/3 frames. Nevertheless, McDermott ranks as the Orioles' third-best prospect at MLB Pipeline. The O's should have an update on his status soon.

Boston Red Sox third baseman
Alex Bregman (quadriceps) has not begun contract extension talks with the team, Rob Bradford of WEEI reports. Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox last winter, but the deal contains opt-outs after this season and the 2026 campaign. If the Red Sox don't sign Bregman to a new contract by the July 31 trade deadline, and if they expect the Scott Boras client to test free agency again in the offseason, they could deal him over the next three weeks. Bregman has made a case for a richer pact this year by slashing a robust .299/.385/.553 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI in 226 plate appearances. While the three-time All-Star hasn't played since May 23 because of a strained right quadriceps, the Red Sox will activate him this weekend. With his future uncertain, Bregman will be an intriguing player to watch leading up to the deadline.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman
Nolan Schanuel (calf) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers with tightness in his right calf. Schanuel has been dealing with the issue over the past few days, according to Erica Weston of FanDuel Sports Network West. The 23-year-old is just 9-for-38 in nine games this month, though he's hitting a respectable .267/.356/.394 with eight home runs, 39 RBI, and 43 runs in 382 plate appearances this season. With Schanuel on the bench, the Angels are starting
LaMonte Wade Jr. at first base and batting him ninth against Rangers left-hander
Patrick Corbin.

The Athletic's Colton Pouncy writes that Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has paused when discussing wide receiver
Jameson Williams' future with the team, even though coaches have raved about him this offseason following a breakout 2024 campaign in which he caught 58 passes for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns during the regular season. Pouncy adds that the Lions might not be able to afford Williams in the long run if he continues on his current trajectory. The 24-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State is under contract through the 2026 season. If the Lions cannot get close to an extension with him before the start of next season, he could become a trade candidate. The volume is unlikely to be there for Williams in 2025, but he can still be an explosive WR2/3 in fantasy, especially if the Lions emphasize the deep passing game more under new coordinator John Morton.

Undefeated Tallison Teixeira is set to face off against former title challenger Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC Nashville on Saturday. The 25-year-old Teixeira earned his UFC contract by knocking out Arthur Lopes in the first round on Dana White's Contender Series. He then made his UFC debut in his previous fight in February at UFC 312 with a first-round knockout of Justin Tafa, earning a 'Performance of the Night' bonus. He has finished all eight of his opponents, seven via TKO/knockout and one via submission. DraftKings sees Teixeira as the favorite with a salary of $9,000.

Dallas Cowboys All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons, who is heading into the fifth year of his rookie deal in 2025, said he will be with the team this summer for the start of training camp, whether a new deal has been reached or not. However, Parsons didn't say whether he'd participate in on-field work without a new contract, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota. If a new deal isn't reached by July 22, the first day of training camp practice for Dallas, Parsons will likely be a hold-in at camp. The 26-year-old linebacker is reportedly seeking a contract in the range of $200 million. Contract issues aside, Parsons remains one of the most attractive pass-rushers in IDP fantasy leagues. The former 12th overall pick in 2021 out of Penn State has been a Pro Bowler in all four of his NFL seasons and has at least 12 sacks in all four years.

Former title challenger Derrick Lewis is scheduled to take on the undefeated Tallison Teixeira in the main event of UFC Nashville on Saturday. Lewis was last seen in action back in May 2024 at UFC St. Louis, where he got back in the win column by finishing Rodrigo Nascimento via third-round TKO. Prior to that, Lewis dropped a unanimous decision to Jailton Almeida. Lewis, the UFC's all-time leader in knockouts with 15, has gone 2-4 in his last six appearances. DraftKings sees Lewis as a huge underdog with a salary of $7,200.

The Athletic's Joseph Person writes that Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu appears to be next up for a contract extension after the team has locked up core players such as Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn to extensions since Dan Morgan took over as general manager in 2024. Carolina already picked up Ekwonu's fifth-year option for 2026 that's worth $17.6 million. The 24-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2022 is the same dominant run blocker that he was at North Carolina State, but he could still stand to improve in pass protection. Pro Football Focus had Ekwonu ranked 126th out of 140 tackles in sacks allowed (seven) last year, even though he gave up four fewer sacks than he did the previous year. He'll enter the 2025 season as the presumed starter at left tackle for the Panthers.

Arizona Cardinals safety Jalen Thompson, who turns 27 in July, is approaching the final year of his contract in 2025 -- he has a void year in 2026. Thompson has been a key defensive piece of Arizona's defensive backfield during his six years with the team, but The Athletic's Doug Haller writes that time is running out for him to get an extension. He finished third on the team in tackles in 2024 and has been productive and reliable in the desert, but Haller writes that the Cardinals seem to be grooming Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a fourth-rounder last year, as Thompson's eventual replacement. Thompson had 100-plus combined tackles in 2021 and 2022 and almost returned to that mark a year ago with 98 tackles (61 solo). He could have some fantasy appeal in IDP leagues if he can stay healthy in what could be his last season with the Cardinals.

Gabriel Bonfim is set to face off against UFC veteran and former title challenger Stephen Thompson in the co-main event of UFC Nashville on Saturday. Bonfim earned his UFC contract by defeating Trey Waters back in 2022 on Dana White's Contender Series. Since signing with the UFC, Bonfim has gone 4-1, with his only career loss being to Nicolas Dalby. Bonfim rebounded from his first career loss to Dalby by defeating Ange Loosa via unanimous decision. He then submitted Khaos Williams with a D'arce choke in February to win back-to-back fights. DraftKings sees Bonfim as the favorite with a salary of $9,300.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Najee Harris (eye) suffered a superficial eye injury during a Fourth of July fireworks mishap that resulted in injuries to several attendees, according to his agent, Doug Hendrickson. However, Harris is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season. It's unclear if Harris will be forced to miss any practices once training camp gets underway later this month, though. When healthy, the 27-year-old former Pittsburgh Steeler is expected to be a big part of the Chargers' run-first offense in 2025, although rookie first-rounder
Omarion Hampton, who was taken 22nd overall in April, will command plenty of touches himself. Harris has had 1,000 yards rushing in all four of his NFL seasons to this point, but he lacks the big-play ability that Hampton should provide. Fantasy managers won't be able to count on volume for Harris, who has become more of an RB3/flex.

UFC veteran and former title challenger Stephen Thompson will look to bounce back when he takes on Gabriel Bonfim in the co-main event of UFC Nashville on Saturday. Thompson, who is known for his movement, elusive striking and karate-based style, is currently riding a two-fight skid and has gone 1-4 in his last five bouts. In his last bout, Thompson got knocked out by Joaquin Buckley, and before that fight, Thompson got dominated and then submitted by Shavkat Rakhmonov. DraftKings sees Thompson as a huge underdog with a salary of $6,900.

New York Yankees pitcher
Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) resumed a throwing program on Wednesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. This is a step in the right direction for Yarbrough who has been sidelined since mid-June due to a right oblique strain. It seems likely that the Yankees are going to wait until after the All-Star break to bring Yarbrough back into the mix. The left-hander figures to require at least one rehab start before returning to the Bronx. It's uncertain if Yarbrough will have a rotation spot once he's back, so he's not someone that needs to be stashed right now

New York Yankees relief pitcher
Mark Leiter Jr. (leg) is hopeful to resume a throwing program this weekend, according to manager Aaron Boone. Leiter recently landed on the injured list due to a stress fracture in his leg. The Yankees haven't given much of a timetable for Leiter's return yet. The expectation is that he's going to need longer than the minimum 15 days. There should be more updates on his status once he's able to begin throwing again this weekend. Leiter isn't much of a fantasy option right now with his lack of save chances.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher
Erick Fedde will remain in the starting rotation for at least one more start. There were discussions that Fedde would be moved out of the rotation after allowing 17 earned runs over his last three starts. Despite that, the Cardinals will give Fedde another shot against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. The right-hander was supposed to be a trade piece at the deadline, but that ship might've sailed at this point. Given his struggles, Fedde isn't a recommended streaming option for this weekend.

"The Juggernaut" was last seen in action back in October at UFC Vegas 98 where, he got back in the win column by beating Sean Sharaf via second-round TKO.

Jacob Wilson (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Wilson suffered a left hand contusion when he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game. Now, Wilson will miss his second straight game on Thursday due to the issue. It doesn't look like the A's plan on placing Wilson on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day and be hopeful for his return this weekend. In his absence,
Max Muncy will cover shortstop and bat sixth versus right-hander
Spencer Strider.
