Brook Lopez is Remaining with the Clippers
Los Angeles Clippers center Brook Lopez is returning to the team next season. On Monday, the Clippers picked up the $9.2 million team option on Lopez's contract. Lopez took over the starting center gig after the team traded Ivica Zubac mid-season. The veteran big man averaged 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 21.8 minutes per game in 75 contests last season. Given his age and possible regression, the Clippers are likely going to add another center to the mix during the offseason. Lopez should remain in the rotation for around 20 minutes, but his fantasy value will be dependent on what the Clippers do in free agency.

Brewers Expect Logan Henderson to Return Before All-Star Break
The Milwaukee Brewers expect right-hander Logan Henderson (back) to return from the 15-day injured list before the mid-July All-Star break, manager Pat Murphy told Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Constitution. Henderson struck out seven in three innings during his first minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday and will make one more rehab start before rejoining Milwaukee's starting rotation in early July. The 24-year-old threw only 50 pitches on Sunday, so he still needs to be a little more stretched out before the Brewers feel comfortable welcoming him back to the big-league roster. Even though Henderson isn't back in the majors just yet, his return is on the horizon, and fantasy managers in need of rotation help should be looking to grab him off the waiver wire right now. He's only rostered in 40% of Yahoo leagues, and he could be a difference-maker for fantasy teams in the second half. Before his back injury, the former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of McLennan Community College was 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 30:6 K:BB in 23 innings over five starts.

Neemias Queta is Returning to the Celtics
Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta will be back with the organization after his team option was picked up on Monday. This was a no-brainer for the Celtics after Queta posted strong numbers with the Celtics this past season. He averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks across 25.3 minutes per game in 76 contests. Depending on what the Celtics do this offseason, Queta could be in line for the starting center role next season. If they do add someone, Queta should still play a similar role, which should mean he'll be a viable fantasy contributor.

Emilio Pagan to be Activated on Tuesday, Returning to Closer's Role?
Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said that right-handed reliever Emilio Pagan (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Francona also said it "makes sense" to put Pagan in the ninth-inning closer's role. The 35-year-old veteran reliever will rejoin Cincy's bullpen for the first time since being put on the IL in early May due to a Grade 2 strained left hamstring. Pagan wasn't exactly pitching well in the closer's role earlier this year for the Reds before his hamstring injury, as he had a 6.43 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 11 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched, but he also had six saves in his 15 appearances, and he is the most experienced closer in Cincy's bad bullpen with 71 career saves. It makes even more sense for Pagan to immediately return as the Reds' closer with both Tony Santillan (oblique) and Graham Ashcraft (elbow) out with injuries. Pagan is only rostered in 65% of Yahoo leagues. This is your reminder to go and pick Pagan up if you need saves.

Jordan Miller Receives Qualifying Offer
Los Angeles Clippers forward Jordan Miller has been extended a qualifying offer from the organization. The Clippers have decided to decline Miller's team option, but he could still stick around in Los Angeles. This past season, Miller averaged a career-high 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 22.1 minutes per game in 60 contests. The 26-year-old finally got a chance to play decent minutes and showed he can be a consistent scoring option. If Miller stays with the Clippers, his role would likely expand, assuming the Clippers do trade Kawhi Leonard. Otherwise, Miller's overall fantasy value will be dependent on where he ends up in free agency.

GG Jackson II Sticking with Grizzlies
Memphis Grizzlies guard GG Jackson II will remain with the organization for this upcoming season. On Monday, the Grizzlies exercised Jackson's $2.4 million team option for the 2026-2027 season. This seemed like a smart decision by the Grizzlies to bring back Jackson on a cheap team-friendly deal. This past season, Jackson averaged 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across 21.4 minutes per game in 55 contests. The expectation is that Jackson will continue to have a similar role in the rotation this upcoming season. His spot in the rotation could change depending on what the Grizzlies do in free agency, but he should stay involved regardless.

Giancarlo Stanton Resumes Running Program, to Take Live At-Bats on Tuesday
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has restarted a running program and will take live at-bats against left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on Tuesday, per Newsday's David Lennon. However, a timeline for Stanton's return remains unclear. The oft-injured 36-year-old veteran initially landed on the 10-day injured list back on April 28 with a calf injury, and then he had his rehab paused after he suffered a right-calf strain on June 11. He's making progress once again, but given how slow he has recovered, fantasy managers shouldn't necessarily be expecting the right-handed slugger to be back with the Yankees before next month's All-Star break. The final test for Stanton will likely be to run at full speed, and he'll also most likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before being officially reinstated from the IL. Most fantasy managers have decided that the former MVP and five-time All-Star's durability issues just aren't worth the hassle for his power anymore. Stanton is only rostered in 23% of Yahoo leagues at this time, and he was hitting .256 (23-for-90) with three home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs, a steal, and a 30.2% strikeout rate in 96 plate appearances before going on the shelf.

Dominick Barlow has Team Option Picked up
Philadelphia 76ers forward Dominick Barlow will be back with the organization next season. On Monday, the Sixers exercised Barlow's $3.42 million team option for the 2026-2027 season. This was a no-brainer for the Sixers with Barlow coming off the best season of his career. He averaged 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 23.8 minutes per game across 71 contests this past season. The 23-year-old has bounced around during his young career, but appears to have found a good home in Philly. He figures to take on an expanded role next season after posting solid numbers this past season.

Max Fried to Throw Two-Inning Sim Game on Tuesday
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that left-hander Max Fried (elbow) is scheduled to throw a two-inning simulated game on Tuesday and throw 30 pitches, according to David Lennon of Newsday. It will be the first time that Fried has faced live hitters since the Yankees put him on the 15-day injured list on May 16 with a bone bruise in his left elbow. The 32-year-old All-Star southpaw is making good progress, but he won't have enough time to get stretched out to rejoin the big-league starting rotation before the All-Star break in the middle of July. Fried, who is a three-time All-Star, was excellent in his first year in pinstripes in 2025, when he won a league-high 19 games and posted a 2.86 ERA (3.07 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, and 189:51 K:BB in 195 1/3 innings across his 32 regular-season starts. Before going on the IL with his elbow injury, Fried went 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA (2.71 FIP) and 1.00 WHIP with 50 K's and 19 walks in 10 starts. In a best-case scenario, Fried will be ready to roll in late July, and he should not be floating around on any waiver wires at this time.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Leaves Early on Monday With Apparent Head Injury
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (head) is leaving Monday's game early against the visiting Detroit Tigers after colliding with outfielder Jasson Dominguez in the fourth inning in the Bronx, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Chisholm took an elbow to the head and was being checked for a concussion by the medical staff. Before being replaced at second base by Oswaldo Cabrera, Chisholm went 0-for-1 at the plate with a strikeout. Fantasy managers should check back later on Monday evening to see if Chisholm passed through the league's concussion protocol. If not, there's a good chance he'll land on the seven-day concussion injured list. The two-time All-Star came into Monday's series opener against Detroit with just a .223 batting average (63-for-283), but he also has 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 24 stolen bases, and 42 runs scored in his 80 games and 320 plate appearances as one of the most valuable players eligible at the second base position in fantasy baseball. If Chisholm is forced to miss additional time, veteran Amed Rosario could see more playing time at the keystone in addition to Cabrera. UPDATE: According to the Yankees, Chisholm was examined by Dr. Christopher Ahmad and is currently in the concussion protocol.

Casey Schmitt Feeling Better, Back in Lineup Against Arizona
San Francisco Giants infielder/outfielder Casey Schmitt (illness) is starting at shortstop and is batting third for the Giants in Monday's series opener on the road against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, according to MLB.com. Schmitt was under the weather and didn't play on Sunday in the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies, but he's back to begin the week and will move to the 6 with regular shortstop Willy Adames sitting due to back spasms. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a breakout in 2026 in his fourth year in the big leagues, slashing .290/.316/.508 with an .825 OPS, 16 home runs, 42 RBI, 37 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 75 games across 313 plate appearances in a regular utility role for San Fran. He's not only having a career year, but he's eligible at first base, second base, third base, and the outfield in Yahoo leagues. Schmitt is hitting .280 (28-for-100) with four homers, three doubles, nine RBI, 10 runs, and two steals in 24 games in June and is batting .625 with a 2.042 OPS, two homers, and three RBI in just eight career at-bats against Rodriguez.

Willy Adames Absent on Monday With Back Spasms
San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (back) is out of the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Arizona against the division-rival Diamondbacks due to back spasms, according to MLB.com. Casey Schmitt, who was out on Sunday with an illness, will start at shortstop and bat third for the Gigantes against Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Adames was pulled from Sunday's game in the eighth inning due to back spasms and will sit out the first game of the week in Arizona. He's considered day-to-day for now, so fantasy managers will want to check back in on Tuesday to see if he's available for Game 2 of the series at Chase Field. While Adames won't help your fantasy team's batting average or on-base percentage much, he's still on pace for a third straight 30-homer season with 14 long balls in 81 games across 342 plate appearances to this point in his second year in the Bay Area. He could be a popular trade candidate before August's deadline, too, and a move to a contending team would only boost his second-half fantasy value.

Harrison Barnes Plans to Return to Spurs
Free agent forward Harrison Barnes intends to sign a one-year, $8 million deal to stay with the San Antonio Spurs, per Shams Charania of ESPN. Barnes will return for his third season in San Antonio, providing the Spurs with a continued veteran presence in the frontcourt. The 34-year-old averaged 25.8 minutes per contest across 77 games last regular season, but his minutes were reduced during the postseason, and he was a healthy scratch in each of San Antonio's last three games against New York in the NBA Finals.

Luke Raley Still Out on Monday With Forearm Injury
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is out of the starting nine for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. It is the second straight start that Raley will miss due to soreness in his left forearm. Victor Robles is starting in right field again and will bat eighth against Angels right-hander Ryan Johnson. Raley should be considered day-to-day and could return to the starting lineup as early as Game 2 of the series at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has interesting pop, but he lacks a ton of fantasy upside in mixed leagues because he doesn't play regularly against left-handed pitchers. In 206 at-bats this year, he's slashing .238/.302/.485 with a .788 OPS, 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 25 runs scored, and a stolen base in 73 games played. Raley has been awful in 19 games (61 plate appearances) in June, going 7-for-56 (.125) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts.

Dominic Canzone Back in Lineup on Monday as DH
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Ryan Johnson, serving as the designated hitter and batting third, per MLB.com. Canzone is back in action on Monday after sitting out Sunday's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians with right-hamstring soreness. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder has been one of the team's most consistent hitters this year and already is up to a career-high 12 home runs, slashing .274/.349/.542 with an .891 OPS, 33 RBI, 29 runs scored, and a stolen base in 190 at-bats. He is hitting .323 (21-for-65) with five home runs, three doubles, a triple, and 11 runs scored in 22 games in June, but he's cooled off of late, going 3-for-23 with a homer, two RBI, three walks, and nine strikeouts in his last eight contests. Canzone lacks fantasy upside in shallow-mixed leagues because he rarely plays against lefties, but he's hitting a nice .281 (48-for-171) with 11 of his 12 long balls against righties this year.

As a Warrior, Porzingis played in 15 regular-season contests last campaign, averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks in 23.7 minutes per game.

Tom Hoge Very Much a Wild Card in Illinois This Week
Tom Hoge is almost capable of anything this week at the John Deere Classic. The American golfer has made 14 of 20 cuts and has three Top 10 results in 2026. However, he has been up and down after a rough Winter stretch. There is the dilemma with Hoge. Overall, the numbers are not good especially off the tee and putting. He gets off to a decent start but even his putts per round climb into average territory too often. Hoge's driver accuracy is 58.07% and only drives the ball 296.9 yards. Too often, that leaves him with awkward second shots and on longer courses even like TPC Deere Run, that can be tough to overcome. Hoge really could be good or be outright faded especially in DFS formats.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju Could Be One to Watch This Week
Sudarshan Yellamaraju may be one to watch this week at the John Deere Classic. The Canadian golfer is only 24 but has three Top 10 results on tour. Yes, his game is raw attires but he finds ways out of trouble, drives the ball well, and has potential at times with the putter. He drives the ball 313.1 yards and manages a solid 61.55% driver accuracy (55th). It is rare for young golfers typically to show the accuracy he has. At the RBC Canadian Open, that paved the way to a T-8 finish. Yellamaraju does putt well and limits putts. He is 17th in birdie or better conversion percentage at 34.59%. With fewer top players in the field this week, Yellamaraju could be a surprise betting choice again.

Jeremy Pena Out on Monday With "Leg Discomfort"
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (leg) is out of Monday's starting lineup for the series opener against the Minnesota Twins after reporting "left-leg soreness," manager Joe Espada told Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Pena is visiting with team doctors. With Pena out to begin the week, Nick Allen, who is back from the injured list, will start at the 6 and bat eighth for the Astros against Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews. Until we have more specifics on the 28-year-old Dominican's leg injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The former third-round pick in 2018 out of the University of Maine has battled various injuries in 2026, but when available, he's been solid, slashing .295/.356/.443 with a .799 OPS, six home runs, 21 RBI, 34 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in 48 games and 202 plate appearances as the Astros' starting shortstop. Check back on Tuesday to see if Pena is ready to rejoin the action for Game 2 of the series at Daikin Park in Houston.

Eugenio Suarez Out With Wrist Injury on Monday
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (wrist) is out of the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener on the road against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers due to a wrist injury, according to MLB.com. Sal Stewart will man the hot corner and bat second, with Spencer Steer starting at first and batting third versus Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser. Suarez was pulled from Sunday's loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates early when he was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the sixth inning. Thankfully, X-rays and a CT scan on the 34-year-old veteran's wrist came back clean, which has the Reds optimistic that he'll be back during the series this week against the Brewers. The 34-year-old Venezuelan has struggled in his return to the Reds in 2026, hitting just .208/.276/.376 with a career-low .652 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 18 runs scored, and a career-high 33.2% strikeout rate in 217 plate appearances. He has really struggled in 22 games in June, going 15-for-81 (.185) with four homers, four doubles, 14 RBI, five runs, four walks, and 32 strikeouts. The strikeouts continue to pile up, making fantasy managers wonder if Suarez is even worth the power at this point in his career.

Pistons Exercise Team Option For Daniss Jenkins
The Detroit Pistons have picked up the $4 million team option for guard Daniss Jenkins, according to Spotrac's Keith Smith. The 24-year-old began the 2025-26 season on a two-way contract, eventually earning a standard contract in February. He was then named a starter for the final three games of Detroit's postseason run, scoring double digits in each contest. Ultimately, Jenkins averaged 9.3 points and 3.9 assists in 20.2 minutes per game during the regular season. The Pistons seem to like Jenkins more as a scoring option off the bench, as the team is rumored to be seeking more shooting to start alongside Cade Cunningham.

Nurkic became a full-time starter last season after Walker Kessler (shoulder) underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn left labrum. The 31-year-old averaged 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest in 41 regular-season appearances (36 starts). He missed the final two months of the season after undergoing nose surgery in mid-February, but he should be ready to go by training camp.

Elly De La Cruz in the Lineup After Injury Scare
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz (ankle) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Monday for the series opener against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Robert Gasser, according to MLB.com. De La Cruz twisted his ankle in Sunday's loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates, but he stayed in the game after having his ankle taped. With the star shortstop serving as the DH, Matt McLain will start at the 6 and bat eighth, with Edwin Arroyo playing second base and hitting in the nine-hole. De La Cruz might not be exactly 100% healthy, but the 24-year-old Dominican should be in all starting lineups in traditional leagues as a five-category contributor. The two-time All-Star is hitting .268/.339/.480 with a career-high .819 OPS, 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 42 runs scored across 63 games and 280 plate appearances. De La Cruz has gone 21-for-71 (.296) at the plate against southpaws this year, adding five of his 12 home runs against them in 78 plate appearances.

Pierceson Coody Must Keep Putting Well to Stay in Contention
Pierceson Coody only has two top-10 results in 2026. The American golfer has been fairly consistent with 10 top-25 finishes in 18 events. He could thrive at the John Deere Classic this week, as Coody gets off the tee well and ranks 35th in strokes gained putting (0.303). He is driving the ball 317.5 yards on average (12th) and is OK with driver accuracy (58.07%). Coody does have to calm down, though, as he wastes putts early in events. He improves as a tournament goes on, ranking 40th with 28.08 putts per final round. It is the weekend where Coody can become a real factor when it comes to DFS and maybe more.

Murray and Jerami Grant were the return for the former All-Pro guard. Murray, a first-round pick in 2023, failed to make much of an impact in his three seasons in Portland. He averaged 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per game last season. However, he's in the final year of his cheap rookie contract ($3.57 million per year) and can provide good wing bench depth for a young Memphis squad.

Taylor Pendrith in Average Form as TPC Deere Run Looms
Taylor Pendrith can make cuts (13 out of 18) and drive the ball well enough (25th in driving distance). The Canadian golfer even has a ranking around the average (93rd in the Official World Golf Rankings). Pendrith averages more than 30 putts per round over the first two days of an event. It has not improved much throughout 2026. At least he has made a few more putts, though, as his strokes gained in putting over the last half dozen events has teetered around zero. Last week, Pendrith dropped right out of the top 50, mostly because his driving accuracy was 11% off compared to the field. Having to be accurate off the tee and getting close to the green have been two major issues for Pendrith in 2026, besides his putting issues.

Brandon Nimmo Out With Shoulder Soreness, Undergoing MRI
Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) is out of the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Cleveland Guardians and will undergo an MRI exam on his shoulder, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Nimmo said he was "OK," but acknowledged he's dealing with soreness. With Wyatt Langford (hamstring) going back on the injured list over the weekend, the Rangers can ill-afford for Nimmo to join him on the shelf as the end of the first half of the season nears. Alejandro Osuna is starting in left field on Monday, with Ezequiel Duran starting in right field and batting third against Guardians left-hander Parker Messick. Nimmo played all nine innings in Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he banged up his shoulder while crashing into the outfield wall. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's active for Game 2 of the series in Cleveland. In his first year with the Rangers, Nimmo has hit .262/.333/.420 with a .754 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 82 games and 354 plate appearances.

The 32-year-old averaged 18.6 points on 38.9% shooting from deep for what was ultimately his final season with the Trail Blazers. His role in Memphis is unclear, to say the least. The Grizzlies drafted Cameron Boozer, traded for Isaiah Stewart, and have $17.5 million per year tied up in Santi Aldama.
