Washington Nationals relief pitcher Clayton Beeter leads his team with seven saves on the season, and he seems to have the job as primary closer under control going into the All-Star break. He did blow a save and take a loss on Saturday, though, allowing two home runs and three hits without recording an out against the Yankees. He entered the game with a one-run lead with one out in the eighth inning and allowed homers to Trent Grisham and Paul Goldschmidt. Before that outing, he had not allowed a hit in five straight appearances, earning a win, a save, and two holds over that stretch. Manager Drew Butera has been very unpredictable in his bullpen usage this season, although he doesn't have many great options to choose from. Beeter is probably the best option in the bullpen, but the situation has been very unpredictable all season. He's one of the best widely available closer options for saves, but he has been a wild ride for fantasy managers all season. Unless the Nats bring in a closer at the Trade Deadline, he'll remain in a high-leverage role with boom-or-bust upside. If you're desperate for saves, he's worth a look, but be ready for some major volatility.--Zach Thompson

When NFL teams gather for training camps at the end of the month, one of the league's most intriguing battles will be for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland. Browns veteran Deshaun Watson was thought to have an early edge in the pass-heavy setting of OTAs and minicamp, though reports from some of the later sessions seemed to indicate that second-year pro Shedeur Sanders had significantly narrowed the gap. A former first-round pick of the Houston Texans, Watson was once viewed as a rising star in the league, but his career has been derailed by character issues and a string of serious injuries, most recently missing the entirety of the 2025 season after rupturing his Achilles tendon for the second time. He has not thrown for more than 1,150 yards since 2020, and even if he wins the starting job outright, existing health concerns would only be compounded by the rigors of a full 17-game season. The Browns have done an admirable job of building around the quarterback position, spending three top-40 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on offensive line and wide receiver after hitting on rookie tight end and running back Harold Fannin Jr. and Quinshon Judkins in 2025, and Watson could gain an advantage by what he's able to provide with his legs. While not an exciting pick, the 10th-year veteran is practically free at the end of 2026 drafts, currently coming off the board as the QB32, but if he's able to win the job and stay healthy, he could add surprising value in Todd Monken's offense and is a worthwhile dart-throw as a third quarterback in superflex leagues.--Patrick McGrath

Center Rodrigo Abols has joined the Swiss team SC Bern on a three-year deal. He has decided to move back to Europe after spending two seasons in the NHL with the Philadelphia Flyers. Abols contributed three goals and seven assists in 42 games with the Flyers last term. His campaign was derailed by a fractured ankle in mid-January. Although Abols didn't see much success in the NHL, he has been a productive player in the European league. Before joining the Flyers, he played for Rogle BK in Sweden. Abols will turn 31 in January, making it unlikely he will return to the NHL.--Taavi Pailk

Chicago Bulls forward Caleb Wilson finished Monday's 80-63 Summer League loss to the Utah Jazz with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, five blocks and three three-pointers in 29 minutes. The No. 4 overall pick shot 8-for-17 from the field and 3-for-8 from deep, but the 0-for-6 mark at the line was the clear blemish. After opening Las Vegas with 35 points, Wilson still showed enough defensive range and shooting confidence to keep building fantasy buzz. His free-throw line was ugly, but the mix of rim protection and stretch potential is exactly what can separate him from the typical rookie forward in fantasy.--Brian Dailisan

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock continues to be very effective for the Red Sox, but his future role has been clouded a little bit by his team's recent success. Before the Red Sox won nine straight games heading into the All-Star break, it seemed inevitable that Whitlock or his fellow reliever Aroldis Chapman would be traded at the deadline, with the Red Sox well out of the playoff race. Now that Boston is back in the battle for a Wild Card spot, there's a greater chance the team holds both relievers through the deadline, which would likely keep Whitlock in a setup role. The 30-year-old has been very effective in his 34 games, posting a 2.18 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in his 33 games with 37 strikeouts and two saves. He has huge potential if he steps in as the closer for the Red Sox or another team, depending on where all the pieces land at the trade deadline. If you can stash Whitlock in deep leagues, he still has an elite ceiling down the stretch if he becomes a full-time closer. Since it now seems less certain that he gets that chance, though, he can be left on the waiver wire in standard-sized leagues until the situation becomes clearer as we near the August 3 MLB Trade Deadline.--Zach Thompson

Defenseman Jordan Oesterle has retired from the NHL after a 12-year career. He suited up for seven teams, making 409 regular-season appearances. Oesterle spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL and was limited to one outing with the Nashville Predators. He earned 96 career points (23 goals, 73 assists). The American blue-liner, who won bronze at the 2018 IIHF World Championships, began his career with the Edmonton Oilers in 2014 after going undrafted from Western Michigan University. He also played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings, Calgary Flames, and Boston Bruins.--Taavi Pailk

Limited to only 14 games after a high ankle sprain cost him time early in the year, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's 75 catches and 1,077 receiving yards were his lowest totals since his rookie season, while his three touchdown grabs marked a new career low. His fantasy finish as the WR20 put him outside the top eight for the first time since 2021, but, coming into his seventh season healthy and with the Cowboys' offense largely unchanged, the prevailing belief is that his 2025 season will ultimately prove to be more of a blip than a sign of decline. When at full health, Lamb remained the team's primary option in the passing game, even with George Pickens breaking out to the tune of 1,429 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in his first year with the team. In the 11 games where both saw at least a 50% snap share, Lamb earned more targets eight times, only once ending a game with fewer than five receptions. In what again projects to be an offense capable of supporting two difference-making fantasy wide receivers, Lamb is still the Cowboy most likely to finish the year as the WR1. That league-winning ceiling is accented by one of the safest floors in fantasy, and at RotoBaller's WR4, he's a player that managers can again feel comfortable building their teams around in the first round of 2026 drafts.--Patrick McGrath

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Meleek Thomas dropped 35 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and five three-pointers in Monday's 90-73 Summer League win over the Miami Heat. Thomas shot 14-for-23 from the field, 5-for-9 from deep, and 1-for-1 at the line. The No. 34 pick has now scored 20, 30, and 35 points in his first three Las Vegas games, giving Cleveland a real shot-creation bright spot. Thomas is unlikely to have a clean rookie-year fantasy path without rotation minutes, but the scoring burst, threes, and steals make him a name to track beyond Summer League.--Brian Dailisan

Miami Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez has been a key contributor for the Fish this year, as they've gone from one of the worst teams in baseball last season to the middle of the NL Wild Card race. After hitting .246 last season, Lopez has had a huge jump to a .334 batting average with nine homers, 17 stolen bases, and a .376 wOBA. Last year, he had a .264 BABIP, but that has improved all the way to .370 this year. While some regression seems almost certain in that number since the league average is around .300, Lopez has definitely improved this year, increasing his hard-hit rate by over five percentage points. The 27-year-old has a chance to challenge his personal highs in home runs (15) and stolen bases (20) with a strong second half, and he is on track for his best wOBA and ISO in any qualifying season in the MLB. He has played all his games at shortstop this season, but if he still has 2B eligibility, he actually brings more value at that spot, due to the scarcity of production at that position. While his batting average is likely to settle down a little bit, based on that elevated BABIP, he can still be a very strong middle-infield play with speed and power potential while hitting in the middle of the Marlins batting order, and he's a solid option for fantasy baseball, even though he doesn't bring elite home run production.--Zach Thompson

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward accumulated 17 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two three-pointers in Monday's 96-88 Summer League loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The 2025 No. 11 overall pick needed 23 shots to get there, including a 2-for-9 mark from deep, but the rebounding and secondary playmaking helped save the line. Coward averaged 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists as a rookie, so his fantasy case is not new. The concern is efficiency, though his minutes, boards, and defensive stats give him a useful path if Memphis keeps leaning on him.--Brian Dailisan

Edmonton Oilers forward Colton Dach has signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract extension. He finished his entry-level contract at the end of the 2025-26 season, becoming a restricted free agent. The Oilers acquired Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks in March. Due to health issues, he appeared in only eight regular-season games for his new club, scoring two goals and delivering two assists. Dach also racked up 30 hits. For the season, he managed 13 points (five goals, eight assists) and 219 hits in 61 games. The 23-year-old is a hitting machine, but doesn't offer much else in fantasy hockey.--Taavi Pailk

When the Miami Dolphins reconvene for training camp at the end of the month, they will do so with one of the league's most unproven wide receiver rooms, giving third-year veteran Malik Washington a chance to earn an important starting role. Washington caught 46 passes for the Dolphins in 2025, which trails only De'Von Achane among the handful of players still with the team, while free agent acquisitions Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Terrace Marshall Jr. combined for only 24 receptions last season. Miami spent three of its 13 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on receivers, but with the headliner of that group, Chris Bell, still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in his final game with Louisville, some of Washington's stiffest competition for a spot atop the depth chart could come from third-rounder Caleb Douglas and fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman Jr. With a new coaching staff and a new quarterback in Malik Willis, the Dolphins will be rebuilding their offense from scratch. If Washington can earn his way into a featured role, he's a smart bet to outperform his current ADP of WR70, though how much of a difference that will actually mean for fantasy is still up for debate, as Miami projects to have one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league.--Patrick McGrath

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cameron Boozer finished Monday's 96-88 Summer League loss to the Dallas Mavericks with 21 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two three-pointers in 29 minutes. The No. 3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft shot 7-for-17 from the field, 2-for-8 from deep, and 3-for-5 at the line, leading Memphis in scoring for the second straight Las Vegas game. The efficiency dipped after Friday's 23-point showing, but the steals, passing, and willingness to shoot from deep are more important for fantasy purposes. Boozer's rookie-year ceiling will depend on how quickly Memphis trusts him with regular-season usage, but the early Summer League profile looks category-friendly.--Brian Dailisan

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras was drafted as one of the best bats from behind the plate, but he has had an underwhelming first half of the season. His power numbers and his walk rate are down a bit, but his batting average has bounced back after dipping to .260 last season. His hard-hit rate is down from last year as well, but this barrel rate is up. He has been struggling coming into the All-Star break, hitting only .171 with a 20% hard-hit rate in his first 10 games in July, which may cause his managers to be willing to part with him at a lower price. However, he remains a reliable, proven option behind the plate at a position without much depth. He is in the middle of a very productive lineup, and in each of the last four seasons, he has been significantly better after the All-Star break. He may not reach his ceiling totals this season, but if you can get him at a discount, he can be a reliable anchor behind the plate for the rest of the season.--Zach Thompson

Dallas Mavericks guard Sergio de Larrea accounted for 16 points, one rebound, 12 assists, one block, and two three-pointers in Monday's 96-88 Summer League win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 25 pick bounced back efficiently, shooting 3-for-7 from the field after struggling to a 3-for-14 line in Thursday's loss to Golden State. His scoring consistency remains a developmental project, but the 20-year-old's positional size and elite court vision popped throughout his 30 minutes of action. De Larrea is not set up for an immediate rookie-year fantasy impact while buried on the depth chart behind Kyrie Irving and Marcus Sasser. However, his advanced playmaking profile gives him a cleaner long-term path to rotation minutes than a standard one-dimensional prospect.--Brian Dailisan

Seventh-round rookie running back Seth McGowan will have a chance to earn an important role for the Indianapolis Colts when the pads come on for training camp at the end of the month. McGowan will be competing with 2025 fifth-round pick DJ Giddens for the primary backup duties behind three-time Pro Bowler Jonathan Taylor, and the job has garnered added attention with rumblings that the team could be looking to limit Taylor's touches after he carried the ball a league-leading 323 times last season. Head coach Shane Steichen has pointed out the difficulty in taking his star running back off the field, and with Giddens coming off an uninspiring rookie season and the team spending only late Day 3 capital at the position, he could see another massive workload in 2026. Neither McGowan nor Giddens is being drafted within the top 70 running backs, and neither is expected to hold any standalone value in 2026 redraft leagues. However, any sign that one or the other has taken a lead in their battle to sit closer to Taylor on the depth chart would put them in position to hold down one of the league's most important insurance roles, and as such, reports out of Indianapolis' training camp should be followed closely.--Patrick McGrath

Corey Conners has an up and down history across the pond. The Canadian golfer has had some less than ideal results but two Top 15 finishes at the Open Championship (2021 and 2025). Throwing out the results from the Genesis Scottish Open may be wise (T-52 last week). One worry is his driver accuracy (7% below average). Normally, Conners ranks 13th in driver accuracy at 67.45%. With decent breezes, averaging 303.1 yards off the tee should not be much of a hindrance. The bigger problem is putting. When Conners is rolling, he plays well like at last year's Open. In 2026, he averages 30 putts or worse in Rounds 2 and 3. That has to improve this week for Conners to have a bettor's chance at plus money for a Top 20 or better.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

In four of his previous five events, Keefer has shown plus side driver accuracy. Off the tee, he hits the ball an average of 318.3 yards (10th on Tour). The concern is links golf has its share of dunes and bunkers. Scrambling and scrambling from the rough are not strong suits for Keefer. Overall scrambling ranks 133rd at 56.04%.

Royal Birkdale is a different course to say the least compared to the Renaissance Club. However, Thorbjornsen has a little momentum and drives well off the tee (314.1 yards - 20th) and 60.51 accuracy (67th). The big concern is those birdie chances. Unfortunately, Thorbjornsen carries a birdie-or-better percentage of only 29.64% (120th). His approaches will have to be better but around the green, Thornbjornson ranks 22nd at 0.295 strokes gained.

At least five teams have been checking in on free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs nearly two weeks out from the start of NFL training camps, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Diggs had produced 1,013 yards, 85 catches, and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts for the New England Patriots last year, coming off an ACL tear and playing around 55% of the offensive snaps, and he feels like he can be even better due to offseason training with no injury concerns. Despite putting up his seventh 1,000-yard season in his 11th year in the league in 2025 and helping the Patriots get back to the Super Bowl, the 32-year-old veteran was cut early in the offseason for salary cap purposes. Diggs believes he's one of the best No. 2 wideouts in the league at this point of his career, if not the best, which is probably why he remains unsigned this late into the offseason. The four-time Pro Bowler is no longer in the prime of his career, but he could definitely still be fantasy relevant if he signs with the right team for the 2026 campaign. Stay tuned.--Keith Hernandez

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is expected to work his "way into practice as (training) camp gets started in one way or another," head coach John Harbaugh told ESPN. Nabers is on schedule and is doing better each day, with Nabers not far behind running back Cam Skattebo, who is rehabbing from a season-ending dislocated ankle that he suffered in Week 8 of last year. Harbaugh added that Nabers "is not far behind" Skattebo and that he's "in a good place right now." There has been speculation that Nabers could open the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would require him to miss the first four weeks of the 2026 season. Harbaugh has made it sound like Nabers is doing much better, but there is still some mystery as to when exactly he'll be back on the field as a full-go after having surgery on Oct. 28 to fix ACL and meniscus tears in his right knee. The 22-year-old former first-rounder also had a cleanup procedure on his knee this spring to remove scar tissue. Nabers showed his high-end WR1 upside in fantasy as a rookie by producing a 109-1,204-7 line in 15 games, but fantasy managers are better off fading him as a WR1 target in 2026 drafts because of his injury and the fact that he's missing valuable time in a new offense. RotoBaller has Nabers ranked as the WR24 as he heads into Year 3.--Keith Hernandez

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that second-year running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) is expected to be ready to participate early in training camp this summer, according to ESPN. Harbaugh added that Skattebo is further ahead of receiver Malik Nabers (knee) "based on the type of injury." Skattebo suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 8 of his rookie season and required surgery, but he took part in some 11-on-11 team drills at mandatory minicamp in June. Barring a setback during training camp or the preseason, Skattebo is on track to be a full-go for the start of the 2026 regular season in Week 1 for a divisional showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Tyronce Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are still in New York's backfield, but Skattebo, a fourth-rounder from Arizona State last year, has every intention of earning RB1 duties in his second season in an offense that should feature the run heavily under Harbaugh. Skattebo had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries and added 24 receptions for 207 yards and two more scores in his eight games as a rookie, and RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 20 fantasy RB going into the 2026 campaign.--Keith Hernandez

In a stunning final round of the 2026 Home Run Derby in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker came back to stun Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber to win the event on his final swing, according to MLB.com's Theo DeRosa and Brent Maguire. Walker silenced the relentless Philly crowd by homering on each of his final four do-or-die swings to take home the title, his first ever. The 24-year-old right-handed slugger crushed a dozen homers in the final round to win it, homering on his final six swings to stun the hometown crowd. Walker entered this year's Home Run Derby as one of the biggest underdogs in the field, having never competed in the HR Derby. On 27 total swings on the night, he hit 19 homers, including 13 in the first round. In the process, he became the first Cardinals player ever to win a HR Derby. After teasing high-end power upside for years as one of the top prospects in baseball, Walker has finally put it all together in 2026, batting .294/.354/.532 with an .887 OPS, 22 home runs, 74 RBI, 62 runs, and 13 stolen bases in his 357 at-bats in the first half of 2026.--Keith Hernandez

The No. 1 overall pick in this year's MLB draft, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, passed his physical and will sign with the Chicago White Sox for $10.35 million, according to Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. It shatters the MLB draft bonus record of $9.3 million set by Cincinnati Reds right-hander Chase Burns and Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Charlie Condon in 2024. Cholowsky is the best all-around college shortstop prospect since Troy Tulowitzki, and the 21-year-old is so advanced that there have been rumblings that he has a realistic chance to make his major-league debut on the South Side of Chicago as early as next season. He stands at 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds and thoroughly impressed big-league scouts with 44 home runs, 134 RBI, and eight stolen bases in his final two collegiate seasons with the Bruins. Cholowsky has the quickness to stay at shortstop long term, but one of the few knocks against his fantasy profile will be his lack of stolen-base upside. Otherwise, though, Cholowsky has a realistic shot at competing for an Opening Day roster spot in spring training in 2027.--Keith Hernandez

After undergoing offseason ankle surgery, Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman did not make his 2026 debut until June 17. However, the 31-year-old has performed well since his return, hitting .343/.421/.478 with one home run, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 78 plate appearances. With a 5.5% barrel rate (career 4.9%), Edman does not profile as a major power source for fantasy managers. However, as a switch-hitter who can play all over the diamond, Edman should see near every-day playing time in the prolific Dodgers lineup. The veteran brings a balanced approach at the plate without any major weaknesses, and he may get back to being a speed asset now that his ankle issues are hopefully behind him. Particularly in deeper leagues, fantasy managers may want to target Edman on the waiver wire ahead of the second half of the season.--Will Brady
