Jon Rahm missed the cut at the U.S. Open last month and will look to bounce back as he prepares for this week's Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, United Kingdom. Rahm has two wins and seven top-five finishes on the LIV Tour this season. He finished tied for 55th at the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open. Over the past 12 months, Rahm ranks in the 98th percentile in greens in regulation on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is important because over 34% of approach shots at last year's Genesis Scottish Open.--Ian Christenson - RotoBaller

Justin Thomas finished tied for 14th at the Travelers Championship last month and will now focus on preparing for this week's Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, United Kingdom. Thomas has now rattled off seven straight top-25 finishes and appears to be in prime form heading into this week's Genesis Scottish Open and next week's The Open Championship.

Patrick Reed missed the cut at last week's BMW International Open. Still, he will now focus on preparing for this week's Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, United Kingdom. Reed has played eight DP World Tour events this season and is the current points leader on the DP World Tour.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (hand) has been on the 10-day injured list since mid-May due to a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. However, Jeffers began a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday and could be on the verge of a return to the big leagues. The 29-year-old got off to a strong start to the 2026 season before the injury, hitting .295/.408/.541 with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored, and one stolen base across 147 plate appearances. Albeit in a small sample size, Jeffers had posted the lowest strikeout rate (15.6%) of his career while also posting his highest barrel rate (16.0%). If Jeffers picks up where he left off upon his return to the Twins, he profiles as a top-12 caliber catcher for fantasy managers with significant power upside. In leagues where he's not already rostered, Jeffers should be a priority waiver wire target.--Will Brady

Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (illness) was pulled early from his start on Tuesday against the hosting Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park due to an illness, manager Mark Kotsay told Jason Burke of Inside the A's. Kotsay said Ginn's energy level was dropping after the game. "He gave us everything he had," Kotsay said. The 27-year-old made it through four innings and allowed two earned runs on two hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out four to lose his fifth game of the year. Ginn should now be considered up in the air to make his final start of the first half this Sunday against the Chicago White Sox on the road. Even if Ginn is feeling better by the weekend and is cleared to take the mound for Sunday's series finale on the South Side, fantasy managers should consider him a dangerous streamer against a White Sox team that has had an impressive turnaround in 2025. Ginn, a second-rounder by the New York Mets in 2020 out of Mississippi State University, came into his outing on Tuesday with a 7-4 record this year with a 3.04 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts in 94 2/3 frames over his 19 outings (16 starts) in his third season with the A's.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is coming off the second 1,000-yard campaign of his career. Despite some changes of scenery, Swift has been one of the more consistent backs in the NFL in recent years. Last season, Swift rushed for 1,087 yards on 223 carries with nine touchdowns on the ground. The nine scores on the ground were a career-high for the 27-year-old back. The only downside here is the emergence of Kyle Monangai. The two backs are likely going to split up the starting reps, which could create a frustrating situation for fantasy managers. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bears go with the hot-hand method and ride whichever back looks better on that given day. It's worth mentioning that Swift is in the final year of his contract, so the Bears might be more invested in giving Monangai more carries as the possible future back. Dynasty managers who have Swift on their roster might want to consider selling high on him.--Andy Webb

Free-agent forward Khris Middleton has agreed to a three-year, $17.6 million deal with the Washington Wizards via sign-and-trade, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 14-year veteran returns to Washington after finishing last season with Dallas, where his overall production dipped to 10.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. Middleton still offers shooting, secondary playmaking, and championship experience, but his fantasy ceiling is no longer tied to a high-usage role. With Trae Young, Anthony Davis, and AJ Dybantsa shaping Washington's core, Middleton looks more like veteran wing depth than a reliable fantasy contributor.--Brian Dailisan

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn made Pirates history on Tuesday night in the team's 12-4 blowout win at PNC Park over the visiting Atlanta Braves. O'Hearn was locked in at the plate, going 4-for-5 with three home runs and a franchise-record 10 RBI to raise his season average to .293 and his OPS to .851. The left-handed-hitting slugger lifted a grand slam and two three-run homers to become the 17th player in the modern era with at least 10 RBI in a single game. O'Hearn was already in consideration as a waiver-wire target during his breakout campaign in 2026, and now he really is after his monstrous performance on Tuesday. He's now slashing .293/.351/.500 with 16 long balls, 61 RBI, 47 runs scored, and a stolen base in 319 plate appearances in his first season in the Steel City. O'Hearn has hit safely in eight of his last nine starts and is sizzling hot as we approach next week's All-Star break. He's rostered in only 65% of Yahoo leagues, but that number is about to rise after he went nuclear against Atlanta.--Keith Hernandez

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis could be a sneaky addition for dynasty managers ahead of the 2026 season. Davis is entering his third season with the Bills and is currently battling for the primary backup role behind James Cook III. Last season, Davis saw a minimal role in the Bills' rushing attack. He rushed 58 times for 275 yards and didn't find the end zone on the ground. He didn't see a ton of action on the ground, but Davis did rush for nearly five yards per carry. Davis has shown the ability to be a viable option when given the opportunity. There's unlikely to be a ton of chance to do damage on the ground as long as Cook stays healthy. The expectation is that Davis and Ty Johnson are going to split up the reps behind Cook. Davis could be one injury away from being a relevant fantasy contributor, which makes him worth considering stashing as a handcuff in dynasty formats.--Andy Webb

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Harris is being traded to the Detroit Pistons along with Taurean Prince in exchange for Caris LeVert and two second-round picks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Harris picked up his $3.82 million player option for 2026-27 last month, but his fantasy outlook remains limited after a low-usage season in Milwaukee. The 31-year-old averaged 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 48 games last season. The move gives Harris a fresh landing spot, but he will need more than spot minutes to re-enter the fantasy conversation.--Brian Dailisan

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading forward Taurean Prince to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Gary Harris will also head to Detroit in the deal, while Milwaukee is acquiring Caris LeVert and two second-round picks. Prince averaged 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 23.5 minutes last season while shooting 43.6 percent from three-point range. The 32-year-old was limited to 26 regular-season games after undergoing neck surgery in November to address a herniated disc. He gives Detroit another floor-spacing forward, but his fantasy ceiling remains capped by low usage and modest defensive production. Prince would need steady bench minutes to become more than a fringe source of threes.--Brian Dailisan

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is back for at least one more season. The 36-year-old isn't the same top-tier fantasy tight end that he used to be, but that doesn't mean he can't be a reliable contributor. This past season, Kelce hauled in 76 receptions, 851 receiving yards, and five touchdowns across 17 games with the Chiefs. The 76-catch season was his lowest since the 2015 season, but that goes to show how long Kelce has been an elite player in this league. The Chiefs don't have many reliable pass-catchers on offense outside of Rashee Rice, and hopefully Xavier Worthy takes a step forward. The health of quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) also plays a factor in the fantasy value of Kelce. If everything goes right for the Chiefs, Kelce should still be a fringe top-10 fantasy tight end next season. Given his age, fantasy managers needing a tight end might be able to snag Kelce for cheap, with this possibly being his last season.--Andy Webb

In the Milwaukee Brewers' first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, right-hander Jacob Misiorowski continued his dominance by allowing three earned runs on three hits (two homers) while walking none and striking out 11 batters in seven innings for his 10th win of the 2026 season. The 24-year-old flamethrower wasn't at his best by any means on Tuesday, allowing homers to Jordan Walker and Ivan Herrera, but he reached double-digit strikeouts for the eighth time out of his 18 starts on the year. The Miz is now up to 167 strikeouts on the season, which is 30 more than the next closest pitcher (Dylan Cease). He also became the seventh starter with 10 wins in 2026. Misiorowski, a second-round pick in 2022 by Milwaukee, has been by far the most dominant starting pitcher in the big leagues this year in his first full season in the majors. He's an absolute must-start in all fantasy leagues whenever he toes the rubber because of his elite strikeout stuff.--Keith Hernandez

The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring guard/forward Caris LeVert and two second-round picks from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 31-year-old struggled in his lone season with Detroit, averaging 7.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 60 games. While the move provides Milwaukee with another veteran ball-handler as they retool their roster following the blockbuster trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo, a fantasy resurgence is unlikely. The Bucks also recently acquired Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr., creating a crowded perimeter rotation alongside Kevin Porter Jr. LeVert will need to overcome this logjam and show vastly improved efficiency to carve out value, making him an afterthought for fantasy managers until he secures a definitive role.--Brian Dailisan

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James is currently projected to be the primary backup this upcoming season. The former fifth-round pick only made three appearances last season and didn't record a single carry as a rookie. Despite the lack of reps, James has drawn praise from head coach Kyle Shanahan during the offseason. The 49ers don't have a clear No. 2 option behind superstar Christian McCaffrey in this backfield. Outside of James, the 49ers have third-round pick Kaelon Black, Isaac Guerendo, and Sincere McCormick. There's plenty of competition for the No. 2 role, but James wouldn't be a bad player to have as a possible handcuff to McCaffrey. He's an interesting buy-low candidate for dynasty managers looking for help at running back.--Andy Webb

Free-agent center Kevon Looney agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 30-year-old spent last season with New Orleans, averaging 2.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 21 games after 10 seasons with Golden State. Looney is expected to back up Walker Kessler, which limits his fantasy ceiling unless Kessler misses time. He can help the Lakers with rebounding, screening, and interior defense, but his low-usage role makes him more of a situational big than a steady fantasy option.--Brian Dailisan

San Diego Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta (forearm) threw a bullpen and did some fielding practice on Tuesday at Petco Park, according to Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Pivetta is slowly making progress after landing on the injured list in mid-April with a flexor strain in his right forearm. He was eventually moved to the 60-day IL, and barring a setback as he continues to ramp up his arm, a best-case scenario is probably for Pivetta to return to San Diego's starting rotation at some point in August. The 33-year-old Canadian was the Friars' best starting pitcher in 2025 in his first year with the club, going 13-5 with a 2.87 ERA (3.49 FIP) and 0.98 WHIP with a career-high 190 strikeouts and 50 walks in 181 2/3 innings across 31 starts. He went 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA (1.24 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with a 24:6 K:BB in 16 innings over four starts in 2026 before injuring his forearm. The expectation is that Pivetta will return in the second half, which has made him stash-worthy in the majority of fantasy leagues. Pivetta is currently rostered in 72% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins is coming off a decent season in 2025. The veteran wideout hauled in 46 receptions, 550 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts) with the Pats. Those were his best numbers since 2022, but Hollins could be headed towards a diminished role. The Pats acquired AJ. Brown during the offseason to be their top wideout in their offense. They also signed Romeo Doubs, who is projected to be the slot receiver to begin the season. The Pats also have Kayshon Boutte and Kyle Williams returning, who are expected to compete for snaps with Hollins. The assumption is that the Patriots are more likely to feed snaps to a younger player, such as Williams over Hollins. The 32-year-old might end up falling into a depth role on this revamped Pats offense, so fantasy managers counting on Hollins might want to look elsewhere for help.--Andy Webb

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (wrist) is recovering from surgery and is expected to return to basketball activities later this summer, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 29-year-old reportedly dealt with discomfort during New York's championship run but still averaged a league-high 28.4 points during the playoffs. He also produced 26.0 points, 6.8 assists, and 3.3 rebounds across 74 regular-season starts. This looks more like an offseason maintenance note than a major downgrade. Brunson remains New York's clear offensive engine, and his high usage rate guarantees elite fantasy production. His value should hold steady as a premium draft selection unless his rehab stretches into training camp, keeping him firmly established as a top-tier guard.--Brian Dailisan

Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper (glute) is going back on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul with the same glute injury that he missed time with last month, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. In addition to aggravating his glute injury, Culpepper hasn't played for the Saints in the last week after he was hit by a pitch on his hand last week. It's unclear how long the 23-year-old will be out of action on the farm with his latest glute injury, but it definitely pushes back his potential timetable for an MLB debut this year. We've been hyping Culpepper as one of the best infield prospects to stash in fantasy leagues this year, as the former 21st overall pick in 2024 out of Kansas State University has hit .272/.376/.492 with an .868 OPS, 14 home runs, 43 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 54 runs scored in 63 games (295 plate appearances) at Triple-A in 2026. The Twins' No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, is only rostered in 4% of Yahoo leagues, but the 5-foot-10, 185-pounder's power/speed upside at a premier position still makes him stash-worthy in dynasty/keeper leagues despite his injury setbacks.--Keith Hernandez

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (hip) is progressing with his baseball activities and is doing outfield drills, hitting, and running, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Manager Mark Kotsay said there's hope that the team could get him back "very soon" from the 10-day injured list. It's unclear how soon Soderstrom will be activated, but Gallegos suggests it could come as soon as this week's series in Detroit against the Tigers. The 24-year-old is eligible to be activated from the IL at any time with his left-hip impingement. The struggling A's would love to get Soderstrom back before next week's All-Star break. When he returns, he'll be coming back to a .242/.343/.460 slash line with an .803 OPS, 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 41 runs scored, and a stolen base in 80 games across 335 plate appearances in his fourth year in the big leagues. Soderstrom is rostered in 91% of Yahoo leagues for his emerging power stroke from the left side, so he shouldn't be available in many fantasy formats. In 24 games in June, Soderstrom went 23-for-81 (.284) with six homers, three doubles, 15 RBI, and 15 runs scored in 98 plate appearances.--Keith Hernandez

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) ran at high intensity on Tuesday and is hoping to come off the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break next week, according to Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports. Just a few weeks ago, the Rangers said that Langford wouldn't return before the break, so he has exceeded expectations during his rehab. He's recovering from a strained left hamstring and would have to skip a minor-league rehab assignment if he's going to return this week/weekend. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick out of the University of Florida in the 2023 MLB draft continues to be plagued by injuries early in his career, but his high-end power/speed potential keeps him stash-worthy while he rehabs yet another injury. In 40 games and 173 plate appearances so far in 2026 in his third big-league season, Langford has hit .278/.324/.500 with an .824 OPS, eight home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, and six stolen bases. Langford had his first 20-20 season (22 homers and 22 steals) in just 134 games and 573 plate appearances in his second full MLB campaign.--Keith Hernandez

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. The 28-year-old former MVP and five-time All-Star has been on the injured list for the second time this year for almost a month with another hamstring strain, but he's nearing a return to action and could be ready to roll for the start of the second half on Friday, July 17, after next week's All-Star break. Lower-body injuries have been a nemesis for the Venezuelan outfielder, who is an elite five-category producer when he's fully healthy. Due to his hamstring issues, 2026 has been a disappointment in the first half for Acuna, who is slashing .251/.373/.421 with a .793 OPS, seven home runs, 22 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 31 runs scored in his 195 at-bats. Despite not living up to his lofty standards in the first half, Acuna should be rostered in all fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers may want to attempt to buy low on him heading into next week's All-Star break.--Keith Hernandez

A recent report from NFL Network's James Palmer reveals that free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) had surgery to fix his ACL and multiple other knee ligaments after suffering a torn ACL and dislocated knee in Week 4 of last season with the Miami Dolphins. Palmer described Hill's possibility of playing in 2026 as "wishful thinking." Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro, has built a reputation for extraordinary speed, elite acceleration, and reliable hands, but his career could be in jeopardy after his serious knee injury last season. The Cheetah is no spring chicken at 32 years old, and his elite physical traits could diminish after his knee injury. Fans have floated the idea of the former fifth-rounder returning to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he faces significant questions about his future in the NFL. Hill's focus goal could be shifting to a lengthy rehab process that will have him ready for the 2027 season. He opened his career with eight straight Pro Bowl selections, and he has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 touchdowns in his 10 years in the league. As of right now, Hill should be avoided in single-year fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (biceps) is still in line to make his last start of the first half of the season on Friday against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks, manager Dave Roberts told Maddie Lee of MLB.com. Ohtani's catch play has been normal, and he hasn't mentioned anything about his biceps issue. "As he goes through the next couple of days, if he doesn't feel great, we'll pivot...but as we sit here, I don't see that changing," Roberts said. The four-time MVP was held out of action for a couple of days last week due to a minor right-biceps injury, but he has since returned to the starting lineup as the Dodgers' designated hitter, and he looks good to go for his next scheduled start on the mound to begin the final weekend before next week's All-Star break. The Japanese right-hander shouldn't be limited from a pitch-count perspective, either, so fantasy managers should ride with him in their starting lineups. The 32-year-old veteran has been outstanding on the bump in his 14 starts, going 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA (2.62 FIP) and 0.95 WHIP with 95 strikeouts and 26 walks in 85 2/3 innings this year. In his first start against the D-backs on June 3, Ohtani went six shutout innings with one walk and six strikeouts for his sixth win of 2026.--Keith Hernandez
