Si Woo Kim Looks to Break U.S. Open Trend
Si Woo Kim finished tied for 10th at the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago and will now turn his focus to preparing for this week's U.S. Open, being held at Shinnecock Hills in Tuckahoe, New York. Kim has four top-10 finishes in his last six starts, and so far this season, he has 11 top-25 finishes and no missed cuts in 17 starts. Kim finished tied for 42nd at last year's U.S. Open and tied for 32nd in 2024. Kim will look to ride his hot form and finish better than his two previous starts at the U.S. Open.

Chris Gotterup Still Maintaining Excellent Form Heading to U.S. Open
Chris Gotterup finished tied for 27th at the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago and will now focus on preparing for this week's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Tuckahoe, New York. Gotterup has one missed cut, seven top-25 finishes and two wins in 14 starts this season. Gotterup has also performed well in the majors this season, finishing tied for 24th at the Masters Tournament and tied for 10th at the PGA Championship. He has also played well in his previous U.S. Open appearances, finishing tied for 23rd in 2025 and tied for 43rd in 2022.

Matt Fitzpatrick Has Yet to Slow Down This Season
Matt Fitzpatrick finished second at last week's RBC Canadian Open and has shown no signs of slowing down this season. He's been nothing short of outstanding this season, posting seven top-25 finishes, three wins, and no missed cuts in 14 starts. Fitzpatrick has played well in the first two majors, finishing tied for 18th at the Masters Tournament and tied for 14th at the PGA Championship. He finished tied for 38th at last year's U.S. Open and tied for 64th in 2024. Fitzpatrick's form and past performances at the U.S. Open make him a top contender to include in DFS lineups this week.

Wyndham Clark Continues Playing Well Heading to U.S. Open
Wyndham Clark continued his fine run of form by finishing tied for 11th at last week's RBC Canadian Open. He will now turn his focus to preparing for this week's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Tuckahoe, New York. Clark has four top-25 finishes, one top-five finish and one win in his previous seven starts. Clark got out to a slow start this season, but finished tied for 21st at the Masters Tournament and then followed that by missing the cut at the PGA Championship. Clark is in great form and is a former U.S. Open champion.

Jose Ramirez Undergoes Hand Surgery, Expected to Miss 5-7 Weeks
Cleveland Guardians All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) underwent surgery to fix a broken hamate bone in his left hand on Tuesday and is expected to miss five to seven weeks, according to Zack Meisel of MLB.com. Ramirez injured his hand over the weekend against the division-rival Detroit Tigers, and he won't be ready to rejoin the big-league roster until after the mid-July All-Star break. Even though the 33-year-old seven-time All-Star and six-time Silver Slugger hasn't been performing up to his usual high standards in 2026, fantasy managers should consider him a must-hold in all traditional leagues while he recovers from hand surgery. The Dominican switch-hitting third baseman is currently slashing .239/.339/.418 with a .757 OPS, 10 home runs, 33 RBI, 24 stolen bases, and 42 runs scored across his 268 at-bats in 2026. Until J-Ram can return from his hand injury, utility infielder Gabriel Arias is expected to handle most of the playing time at the hot corner in Cleveland.

Daniel Palencia Going on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
Chicago Cubs right-handed closer Daniel Palencia (elbow) is heading to the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with right-elbow inflammation, according to Bruce Levine of the Marquee Sports Network. It's the second time that Palencia will head to the IL this year, with his previous time coming from a lat strain. The 26-year-old Venezuelan hurler apparently injured his elbow during his scoreless outing against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night in the series opener. Palencia has gone 2-1 this year with a 2.70 ERA (3.46 FIP), 1.38 WHIP, three saves, 19 strikeouts, and six walks in 16 2/3 innings over 19 appearances out of the bullpen. It's unclear what direction manager Craig Counsell will go for save opportunities going forward with Palencia on the IL again. If they use a closer-by-committee situation, all of Caleb Thielbar, Phil Maton, and Jacob Webb could be in line for ninth-inning work. Thielbar, Maton, and Webb are all currently rostered in under 3% of Yahoo leagues.

Roman Anthony's Follow-Up MRI Shows Good Progress
Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Antony's (finger) six-week follow-up MRI exam showed healing and good progress, interim manager Chad Tracy told Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. "That does not mean that because the picture said that, that it's like he's hitting today. Things are looking good, but it's still going to be at his progress and how he feels, and the medical staff will determine each day if he's going to swing and try and see where we're at, and we'll progress based on medical and his feelings, but definitely a positive step there," Tracy said. Swinging a bat is something that Anthony hasn't gotten past in his recovery from a strained finger. The former top outfield prospect is making progress, but until he's cleared to start swinging a bat, we won't have a more specific timetable for his return. As things currently stand, it's unlikely that he'll return before the mid-July All-Star break at his current rate of progress. Because of Anthony's high-end power/speed potential, the injured star deserves to be stashed in an IL spot in most fantasy leagues. He's currently rostered in 85% of Yahoo leagues.

River Ryan Bounces Back, is He a Must-Stash Now?
Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan bounced back nicely in his latest outing at Triple-A Oklahoma City after giving up four earned runs in his previous start. The Dodgers' sixth-ranked prospect allowed just one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven in his last start, improving his ERA for the year to 2.81 with a 1.13 WHIP. The right-hander owns a strong 24.6 percent K-BB% and is averaging more than a strikeout per inning, exactly what fantasy managers want to see from a potential fantasy asset. The 27-year-old debuted in 2025 and saw some success, with a 1.33 ERA (3.36 FIP), 1.18 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings pitched, so with his current momentum, there's good reason to think that he'll have success the next time he gets the call. The Dodgers are currently using a six-man rotation and technically have no openings, but things change fast in the major leagues, either due to injury or underperformance, so Ryan should be considered one of the top pitchers to stash for fantasy with his ability to have a positive impact on multiple categories.

Garrett Crochet Could Resume Throwing Program Soon
Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet (shoulder, lat) started throwing a plyometric ball on Tuesday and will continue to do so for the rest of the week before potentially progressing to throwing a real baseball, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Crochet initially landed on the 15-day injured list with left-shoulder inflammation before suffering a setback with a lat strain. He recently clarified that his shoulder is the bigger issue as he continues to tweak his mechanics, and now that he's on the 60-day injured list, the talented southpaw won't be back with the Red Sox's starting rotation until after the mid-July All-Star break. The 26-year-old former 11th overall pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2020 out of the University of Tennessee has been one of the biggest busts so far in fantasy in 2026 after finishing second in the American League Cy Young voting in 2025 in his first year in Boston. Crochet has a 6.30 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 37 K's in 30 innings in his six starts this year, but despite the tough first half, he deserves to be held in all fantasy formats as he looks to bounce back in the second half with better health.

Yainer Diaz Activated From Injured List and Back in Tuesday's Lineup
The Houston Astros activated catcher Yainer Diaz (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Diaz is back behind the plate to catch right-hander Hunter Brown (shoulder), who is also returning from the IL on Tuesday, and will bat sixth for the Astros against the visiting Detroit Tigers and left-hander Framber Valdez. Diaz will return as Houston's primary catcher for the first time since straining his left oblique back in early May. His return will push veteran backstop Christian Vazquez to a backup role. The 27-year-old Dominican was hitting .238 (24-for-101) with two home runs, 14 RBI, and seven runs scored in 26 games before landing on the IL. With 20-plus home runs in two of his first three full seasons in the big leagues, Diaz definitely has fantasy value in single-catcher leagues now that he's back on the field for the Astros. Check your league's waiver wire if you need an upgrade at the position. Diaz is rostered in under half of Yahoo leagues right now.

Twins Place Prospect Kaelen Culpepper on Triple-A Injured List
The Minnesota Twins placed shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper (hip) on the seven-day Triple-A injured list with a strained left hip, according to The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman. There was talk about Culpepper potentially being in line for a big-league promotion soon after tearing it up at the top minor-league level, but those talks will now be put on hold for the time being. The Twins' No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has hit .273/.377/.498 with an .875 OPS, 14 home runs, 43 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 53 runs scored in 61 games across 289 plate appearances for the St. Paul Saints in 2026 before injuring his hip. The 23-year-old former 21st overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft out of Kansas State University uses the entire field and makes plenty of contact from the right side of the plate. He tends to chase offspeed pitches off the plate, but with his power/speed upside, he should be rostered in most dynasty/keeper leagues despite his injury. MLB Pipeline has Culpepper ranked 36th overall this year among all prospects.

Elly De La Cruz on Track to Start a Rehab Assignment on Friday
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) is scheduled to run on Tuesday and Wednesday and would start a minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Louisville if he gets through his running program this week, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. De La Cruz would play five innings on Friday, serve as the designated hitter on Saturday, and then return to shortstop on Sunday. Manager Terry Francona said next Tuesday would be the earliest that De La Cruz would be activated from the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old switch-hitting Dominican superstar is nearing his return to the major-league roster as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks this weekend when he returns to game action. Once De La Cruz is back with the Reds, Matt McLain will slide back over to second base, which could push infield prospect Edwin Arroyo back to the minors. De La Cruz is a must-start in all traditional leagues when he's active. He'll be returning to a .280/.346/.509 with a career-best .855 OPS, 12 homers, 37 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 40 runs scored across 58 games played.

Ryan Helsley Reinstated From the Injured List
The Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that they reinstated right-handed reliever Ryan Helsley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and optioned right-hander Anthony Nunez to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Helsey is back in the big-league bullpen after striking out five of the seven batters he faced in two minor-league rehab appearances at Triple-A Norfolk. He ended up missing seven weeks with inflammation in his right elbow. Baltimore could very well ease Helsley back into a late-inning, high-leverage role now that he's back from his injury, but the full expectation is that he'll be manager Craig Albernaz's primary closing option again, pushing Rico Garcia back to a late-inning setup role. Before getting hurt early in the 2026 season, the two-time All-Star was looking good in his first 12 appearances with the O's, allowing three earned runs in 10 2/3 innings with seven saves, 15 strikeouts, and seven walks. Helsley has 112 career saves in his seven-plus big-league seasons. He's rostered in 84% of Yahoo leagues. If he's available on your waiver wire, scoop him up immediately.

Kade Anderson Not Part of Mariners' Immediate Rotation Plans
Seattle Mariners pitching prospects Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan are not part of the team's immediate plans, a source told Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, as the team reassesses its six-man rotation. The expectation remains for both Anderson and Sloan to figure into the mix at the big-league level by late summer, though. Per MLB Pipeline, Anderson is the club's No. 3 prospect, with Sloan sitting right behind him at No. 3. Anderson, the third overall pick last year out of Louisiana State University, has been absolutely dominant in his first full season of pro ball at Double-A Arkansas, going 6-0 with a 1.13 ERA, 0.66 WHIP, and 82:7 K:BB in 55 2/3 innings pitched across 11 starts. The 6-foot-2, 179-pounder is one of the best pitching prospects to stash in 2026, even in redraft formats. Right now, he's rostered in 11% of Yahoo leagues with his first MLB promotion coming sooner rather than later. Anderson lacks high-end velocity, but he makes up for it with excellent run up in the zone, and he also features two plus breaking pitches in a high-spin slider and curveball.

Is James Tibbs III Nearing an MLB Debut?
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III reached base six times between Saturday and Sunday, thanks to two hits (double, home run) and four walks (zero strikeouts). The Dodgers' 10th-ranked prospect hasn't had a multi-hit performance through 12 games in June, but has still recorded a robust .400 OBP thanks to a 21.8 percent walk rate this month. For the season, the left-handed slugger is slashing .307/.422/.614 and is among the Triple-A leaders in home runs (19, first), runs (62, first), RBI (59, third), and walks (49, second). He's also among the leaders in strikeouts (79, seventh), but given his ability to still hit for average, hit for power, and get on base, the high strikeout rate is something that can be tolerated. Unfortunately, he is not on the 40-man roster, and there are no current openings on the major league squad with recently-promoted Ryan Ward doing enough at the plate to hold off Tibbs for now. Nevertheless, Tibbs should debut in the coming weeks, and with his offensive prowess, the 23-year-old is worthy of stashing in most leagues as he'll be able to show off his skills while hitting in a potent Dodger lineup whenever he gets the call.

White Sox Prospect Hagen Smith Dealing With Shoulder Impingement
The Chicago White Sox say that left-handed pitching prospect Hagen Smith (shoulder) has a left-shoulder impingement, according to James Fegan of The Athletic. The initial plan is for two weeks of no throwing for Smith, followed by two more weeks of ramping up and throwing before he returns to game action in the minors. The team's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will be out for a total of four weeks, pushing back his potential big-league debut to later in the second half of the 2026 season. The 22-year-old former fifth overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Arkansas has gone 0-5 at Triple-A Charlotte this year with a 4.67 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 77:36 K:BB in 52 innings and 14 starts. Despite the lackluster surface stats, Smith was beginning to gain more momentum for his first big-league call-up in Chicago before his shoulder injury. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder should still be stashed in all dynasty/keeper leagues, but those in deeper single-year formats might want to temper expectations now for what Smith might be able to provide down the stretch in the big leagues. Smith is rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues.

Joshua Baez a Must-Stash for Multi-Category Potential
St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez remains one of the top bats to stash in fantasy for his multi-category potential whenever he makes it to the major leagues. The Cardinals' third-ranked prospect is hitting .370 (17-for-46) in June, with five doubles, three home runs, and a stolen base through 11 games this month. For the season, the former second-round draft pick is slashing .271/.337/.579, and his 19 home runs are tied for the Triple-A lead, while he's added 12 steals as well. The 6-foot-3 slugger is coming off a 2025 season in which he blasted 20 home runs and stole 54 bases in 117 games between High-A and Double-A. One area that needs improvement is his strikeout rate, which currently stands at 31.5 percent, and one would figure that would not improve at the major league level. Still, while the strikeouts may limit his batting average whenever he gets the call, the 22-year-old could still be a four-category contributor, and given the likelihood of a call-up within the next month or so, he is one of the few "must-stash" bats in most fantasy leagues.

Max Clark Hitting Well at Triple-A, Remains a High-End Offensive Stash
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark's bat woke up over the weekend, going 6-for-13 (.462) in three games from Friday to Sunday, including a home run, a stolen base, and two walks compared to zero strikeouts. It was his fourth straight contest in which the Tigers' top-ranked prospect did not strike out at all, and he recorded two multi-hit efforts after going 13 consecutive games without one. The surge boosted his season average to .259 with a .345 on-base percentage, while the home run was his third in June after collecting just two over the first two months of the season. Although the team is not rushing him to the majors, with his bat coming alive, it could build some momentum for a midseason call-up for a team that is in need of some offensive help, ranking in the bottom third in terms of runs scored per game and near the bottom in stolen bases per game. With the ability to potentially impact five fantasy categories, the 21-year-old remains one of the top bats to stash despite his debut likely at least a few weeks out.

Zack Gelof Flashing Five-Category Upside, Entering Must-Add Territory?
Athletics infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof is forcing his way back onto fantasy rosters with a strong multi-category surge. The 26-year-old is batting .275 with nine home runs, 26 RBI, 32 runs, seven stolen bases, and a .798 OPS over 189 at-bats. Gelof has been even better during his current hot stretch, hitting .322 with three homers, eight RBI, 11 runs, one steal, and a .559 SLG over his last 15 games. Gelof also pushed his hitting streak to 19 games on Monday, giving fantasy managers another reason to pay closer attention to this surge. Strikeouts are still part of the profile (25.5% K%), but his power, speed, and multi-position eligibility in some formats make him useful in standard category leagues. His 43% Yahoo roster rate leaves enough waiver-wire availability for managers to act where flexibility and category balance are priorities.

Sam Antonacci Offering Useful Speed and Runs Off the Waiver Wire
Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Sam Antonacci is becoming a useful waiver-wire option for fantasy managers looking for speed and run production. On the season, the 23-year-old is hitting .278 with two home runs, 17 RBI, 32 runs, nine stolen bases, and a .760 OPS over 208 plate appearances. Antonacci has also taken a step forward over his last 15 games, batting .293 with 12 runs, one homer, seven RBI, and two steals. The power ceiling is limited, so Antonacci is not the optimal target for managers chasing home runs. However, his batting average, on-base skills, speed, and multi-position eligibility in some formats give him practical value in category leagues. His 23% Yahoo roster rate still leaves him available in plenty of formats, making him worth a look for fantasy managers who need runs, steals, a boost in batting average, and flexible positional eligibility.

Kade Anderson Dominates Again, but Any Closer to MLB Debut?
Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson impressed yet again in his latest start at Double-A Arkansas, tossing 6 2/3 innings of scoreless ball on Saturday, allowing just three hits and no walks while striking out six batters. That is now four straight starts in which the southpaw has not allowed a run, and his third straight in which he did not walk a batter. The effort reduced his ERA for the season to 1.13 with a 0.66 WHIP and a 37.7 percent K-BB%, all of which lead the entire minor leagues for pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched. There is seemingly nothing left to prove at Double-A, so it's just a matter of time before the lefty earns a promotion to Triple-A Tacoma, at which point he'll be knocking on the door to the majors. The Seattle rotation isn't in need of reinforcements at the moment, but should Anderson continue to perform at a high level, a major league debut this season is very likely, and could possibly even happen by the end of July at this rate. That being the case, the former third-overall draft pick is one of the top arms to stash in redraft leagues for his multi-ratio-boosting upside.

Does Minor Injury Diminish Kaelen Culpepper's Stash Worthiness?
Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper (glute) was removed from his latest game at Triple-A on Saturday due to glute tightness, and according to Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll, the team believes the injury will not warrant a trip to the injured list. Culpepper should simply be considered day-to-day. Having not played on Sunday and with no game on Monday, it will be interesting to see if the Twins' second-ranked prospect is out there on Tuesday against Omaha or if he'll need more time. The injury slows some momentum that had been building for the former first-round draft pick as he had hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games before Saturday (0-for-3), going 24-for-69 (.348) with two doubles, a triple, five home runs, and five stolen bases over that time, along with an impressive 12:11 BB:K. The recent hot stretch lifted the 23-year-old's season-long slash line to .273/.377/.498 with 14 home runs, 15 steals, a strong 12.8 percent walk rate, and a 17.3 percent strikeout rate. The right-handed hitter should still be on track to debut in the majors in the coming weeks and should be viewed as a high-end stash for fantasy in all leagues with five-category potential.

Edwin Arroyo Offers Deep-League Power-Speed Upside
Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Edwin Arroyo has not made a loud fantasy impact yet, but his prospect pedigree and recent Triple-A production still make him worth a look in deeper formats. The 22-year-old is hitting .219 with two RBI, two runs, no homers, no steals, and a .497 OPS through 32 major-league at-bats. That line does not stand out, but Arroyo earned the promotion after batting .323 with 11 home runs, 34 RBI, 41 runs, and nine stolen bases over 53 games at Triple-A Louisville. Arroyo was called up after Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landed on the injured list, giving him a clearer path to short-term playing time in Cincinnati's infield. The early MLB results lower his upside in smaller leagues, but the switch-hitting prospect has already shown power and speed in the upper minors that make him worthy of a closer look in deeper formats. Available in 96% of Yahoo leagues, Arroyo is a deeper redraft target for fantasy managers willing to speculate on his five-category potential, while De La Cruz remains on the shelf.

Nick Gonzales Emerging as Sneaky Multi-Position Waiver Target
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Nick Gonzales is making a case for more fantasy attention in deeper leagues. Through his first 67 games, the 27-year-old is hitting .296 with two home runs, 31 RBI, 38 runs, four stolen bases, and a .711 OPS. Gonzales has also remained useful lately, batting .300 with two homers, nine RBI, 14 runs, and one steal over his last 15 games. The power ceiling is limited, and Gonzales has cooled off over his last seven games, so he is not a must-add in shallow formats. However, his batting average, steady run production, and multi-position eligibility give him solid fantasy value in deeper 12-team leagues. Available in nearly three-quarters of Yahoo leagues, Gonzales is a strong target for fantasy managers in deeper formats who need infield depth and a boost in batting average.

Is Rico Garcia Still the Primary Source for Saves in Baltimore?
Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Rico Garcia remains a priority waiver-wire target for fantasy managers chasing saves, despite his recent performance. The 32-year-old has tallied four saves with a 1.82 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts over 29 2/3 innings. Garcia has been one of Baltimore's most effective relievers for most of the season, and his combination of strikeouts, ratio help, and ninth-inning access keeps him firmly on the fantasy radar. The recent results have been shakier, as Garcia has allowed four earned runs over his last four appearances, which opened the door for Andrew Kittredge to earn his first save on June 11. Additionally, the team's primary closer, Ryan Helsley (elbow), has started a rehab assignment, so Garcia's path to saves may narrow later this month, but he remains the clearest option in Baltimore for now. Sitting at a 30% Yahoo roster rate, Garcia still has enough value for fantasy managers looking for short-term bullpen help.

Division II All-American Jordan Rogers Visiting Houston
Former Pittsburg State Division II All-American safety Jordan Rogers is visiting Houston on Tuesday, following visits with Boise State and North Texas. The sixth-year senior was granted a final season of collegiate eligibility last week and is poised to make the move to the Division I level in the FBS. In 38 career games, Rogers has tallied 162 tackles (91 solo), 15 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, 15 interceptions, 29 pass deflections, and five forced fumbles. Last season, Houston surrendered 218.8 passing yards per game and forced just 12 interceptions. Rogers could help the Cougars defense take a step forward.

Yankees Expect Trent Grisham to be Out "a Few Weeks"
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Talkin' Yanks that he expects outfielder Trent Grisham (hamstring) to be out for "a few weeks" with his right-hamstring strain. The Yankees placed the left-handed slugger on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, but he will end up missing more than the minimum time. With Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) also on the IL, the Yankees have been forced to turn to rookie Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez in their outfield next to Cody Bellinger for the time being. The 29-year-old Grisham broke out last year in his second season with the Yanks, hitting .235/.348/.464 with an .811 OPS, 34 home runs, 74 RBI, 87 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 143 regular-season games, but that very well could be his outlier season. So far in 2026, Grisham has hit .232 (52-for-224) with eight long balls, 35 RBI, six steals, and 40 runs scored. The good news is he's sporting a career-best 15.9% strikeout rate and a career-high 14.4% walk rate, so the best may be yet to come for Grisham once he recovers from his hamstring strain. UPDATE: Boone said on Tuesday that Grisham has been diagnosed with a "moderate" strain of his right hamstring, per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic.

Jasson Dominguez Could Sit Out After Having Tooth Pulled
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Talkin' Yanks that outfielder Jasson Dominguez (tooth) had a tooth pulled on Tuesday, and no decision has been made on whether he will start against the visiting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Davis Martin in the Bronx. The 23-year-old switch-hitting Dominican returned from the injured list over the weekend following a shoulder injury, and he will be an everyday player for the Yankees going forward with Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) still sidelined. The Martian has teased power/speed upside since entering the big leagues in 2023, but he has failed to deliver. He's played in only 11 games in pinstripes in 2026 and has gone 8-for-38 (.211) with two homers, three doubles, five RBI, five runs scored, two walks, and six strikeouts in his 41 plate appearances. As long as he's playing regularly, though, he'll have value in deep-mixed fantasy leagues in the Bronx. Dominguez is currently rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues.

Dak Prescott to be Limited in Minicamp With "Sore Knee"
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Tuesday that quarterback Dak Prescott (knee) will be limited at mandatory minicamp this week with a "sore knee," according to Tommy Yarrish of the team's official website. However, Schottenheimer added that it's "nothing we're concerned about." The Cowboys aren't going to push their star QB during minicamp. The 32-year-old veteran should be all systems go for the start of training camp at the end of July, but we'll be keeping a close eye on his knee anyway. Going into his 11th year in the NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler will be a low-end QB1 target for fantasy managers after throwing for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 starts for the Cowboys in 2025. Prescott's lack of mobility as a rusher limits his overall fantasy ceiling, but he has one of the best one-two punches in the league at receiver in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to make up for it in one of the most pass-friendly offenses in the league.

George Pickens Won't Take Part in Team Drills at Minicamp
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that wide receiver George Pickens won't do everything during the first day of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and will not participate in team drills, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "Great visits with George. He's fired up to be back," Schottenheimer said on Tuesday. The 25-year-old will play under the one-year, $27.3 million franchise tag in 2026. Pickens was absent from organized team activities this spring as he seeks a long-term contract extension, and he won't do everything this week at minicamp. He should be a full-go for the start of training camp at the end of July, though, as he heads into his second year in Dallas. Pickens led the team with career highs in catches (93), targets (137), receiving yards (1,429), and touchdowns (nine) in 2025 in his first year with the Cowboys in their pass-happy offense. Even though CeeDee Lamb commands a high number of targets, Pickens will have his chances at a repeat in 2026 with Schottenheimer still running the offense. Pickens will be expensive early in fantasy drafts this fall as a legitimate WR1.
