Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that a groundball "got the nail pretty good" on middle infielder Otto Lopez's right ring finger in Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The skipper didn't have much information on Lopez's finger after the game about whether testing would be needed. The 27-year-old took a groundball to his finger in the second inning, but he remained in for the duration of the contest and finished 1-for-4 at the plate with an RBI and a strikeout in the 8-6 loss on the road in Milwaukee. It sounds like Lopez will undergo testing, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect the first-time All-Star in 2026 to be available for Sunday's series finale at American Family Field. In his fifth year in the majors (third with Miami), Lopez entered Saturday's tilt leading the league in hits (129), doubles (27), and batting average (.336) in 96 games and 414 plate appearances. If his finger injury is serious, both Leo Jimenez and Javier Sanoja would both be candidates to take over playing time at the 6 in Miami for the Fish.--Keith Hernandez

Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof (knee) is expected to begin doing baseball activities once his stitches are removed on Tuesday. Gelof has been out since right before the All-Star break due to a right knee laceration. It sounds like he's extremely close to getting back on the field. There's a decent chance that Gelof doesn't require a minor league rehab assignment, but that'll depend on how he feels once he gets the stitches. out. Gelof has done enough damage with the bat this season to warrant rostering in at least deep leagues. He has blasted 11 home runs while slashing .273/.327/.476 this season.--Andy Webb

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz (thumb) appears to be slowly making progress from his injury. Kurtz is participating in range of motion and strengthening exercises right now. He has not been cleared to do baseball activities yet. Kurtz landed on the Injured List just before the All-Star break. He's currently working his way back from a right thumb capsule sprain. It's unclear if Kurtz is going to require a minor league rehab assignment yet. Fantasy managers should have a clearer timetable for his return once he's able to do baseball activities. In the meantime, Jonah Heim and Tommy White should split up the reps at first base.--Andy Webb

Memphis Grizzlies forward Cameron Boozer stuffed the stat sheet with a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double, five assists, one steal, and one block in Saturday's 101-90 Summer League semifinal win over the Rockets. The Duke product did it on an off-shooting night, going 3-for-13 from the field and 0-for-4 from deep while getting to the line for the rest of his points. That he still posted a double-double and led Memphis on the glass speaks to his floor: the rebounding, passing, and defense travel even when his shot does not. For fantasy managers, that all-around base is the appeal, and the shooting should catch up as the sample grows.--Brian Dailisan

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward scored 28 points in Saturday's 101-90 Summer League semifinal win over the Rockets, sending the Grizzlies to the championship game. He added six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block over 28 minutes while shooting 9-for-19 from the field with four made threes. The No. 11 pick has been Memphis's most reliable perimeter scorer all week, reinforcing the case for a bigger role as a sophomore. Filling the box score around his scoring, Coward increasingly looks like a lead wing rather than a complementary piece, the kind of profile that carries real fantasy weight as his role grows.--Brian Dailisan

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Framber Valdez has been activated off the bereavement list on Saturday. Valdez missed a little under a week while dealing with personal issues. Luckily, it was right before the All-Star break, so his absence didn't mess up the Tigers' rotation. Valdez is expected to make his next start during the upcoming series versus the Chicago Cubs. The exact date of his start is unknown, so fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more information. In a corresponding move, right-hander Beau Brieske was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday.--Andy Webb

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Pena appears to have tweaked his hamstring while taking a swing in the third inning. He stayed in and finished the at-bat, but was replaced in the fourth inning. Pena finished the game 1-for-2 at the plate with a single. The Astros are calling it a right hamstring cramp, but he'll likely undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue. Fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Nick Allen gets the starting nod at shortstop on Sunday. There should be another update on Pena ahead of Sunday's game.--Andy Webb

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nate Ament contributed 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in Saturday's win over the 76ers, hitting 5-for-10 from the field with two threes. The rangy forward filled several columns in a quieter scoring night, a week after a 23-point breakout against Charlotte. Milwaukee's second lottery pick has been up and down in Vegas, flashing shot-making and length one game and fading the next. The inconsistency is expected this early, and his development runs on a longer timeline than most in this class. For now, Ament is a developmental hold whose fantasy value rides on turning flashes into steady production.--Brian Dailisan

Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker (hip) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Walker appeared to have tweaked his right hip after taking a swing in the fourth inning. He was taken out of the game before finishing the at-bat. He finished the game hitless in one plate appearance. The assumption is that Walker will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Walker is out of the lineup on Sunday. Until there is more information, fantasy managers should consider Walker as day-to-day.--Andy Webb

Milwaukee Bucks guard Brayden Burries has been a breakout at Summer League, and he punctuated the run with a summer-high 27 points in Saturday's narrow win over the 76ers. He chipped in five assists, four rebounds, one steal, and one block, shooting 9-for-18 from the field and 5-for-7 at the line. He entered the day averaging 22.3 points across his previous three Vegas outings, pairing shot-making with playmaking and disruptive defense. The No. 10 pick lands in a deep Bucks backcourt, but that two-way completeness gives a rebuilding Milwaukee team every reason to find him rookie-year minutes.--Brian Dailisan

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Emerson Hancock (hand) is scheduled to take the mound to start against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Hancock was removed during his final start before the All-Star break after getting hit on the hand by a comebacker. Thanks to the break, Hancock received some extra time to rest and recover. It appears that Hancock won't require a trip to the Injured List, so the extra time off has helped. This season, Hancock owns a 3.17 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 94/25 K/BB ratio across 18 starts. He has been a nice surprise story for the Mariners and is deserving of being rostered in most fantasy formats.--Andy Webb

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has been named to France's roster for its August FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifying window, L'Equipe's Maxime Aubin reports. Les Bleus host Slovenia on Aug. 27 in Paris and visit Sweden on Aug. 30 in World Cup qualifying, after a pair of warm-up games against Serbia to open the window. It's a full-circle moment for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, whose blood clot cut short his second NBA season before he stormed back with 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, and a Finals run. His return to the national team confirms a clean bill of health, the reassuring headline for fantasy managers. The only wrinkle is the added summer mileage on a franchise cornerstone heading into a long season.--Brian Dailisan

New York Mets outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back) is expected to return from the 60-day Injured List ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Due to injuries, Robert has been limited to under 25 games this season. He has been playing games at Triple-A Syracuse since late June. He appears to finally be on the verge of returning to the Mets lineup. Mets' interim manager Andy Green said on Saturday that Robert won't be an everyday player once he returns. The Mets want to give youngsters Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing as many opportunities as possible in what has been a lost season for the Mets. Robert should still be in the mix, but will likely only be a deep league option due to a lack of playing time.--Andy Webb

ESPN's Shams Charania reports the Los Angeles Lakers are promoting South Bay coach Zach Guthrie to an assistant and head of player development on JJ Redick's staff. The 38-year-old spent two seasons leading the Lakers' G League affiliate, guiding South Bay to a league-best 26-10 record and a trip to the Western Conference finals. Before that, he was an NBA assistant under Quin Snyder in Utah and Rick Carlisle in Dallas, plus three seasons in Washington. His new development role puts him over a young Lakers group he already knows well, having worked with two-way pieces like Chris Manon in the G League. There's no rotation change to act on here, but it reflects how much the Lakers are investing in their young core around Luka Doncic.--Brian Dailisan

Restricted free-agent center Moussa Cisse has agreed to a two-year offer sheet with the New York Knicks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports, giving the Dallas Mavericks 48 hours to match or let him walk. The first year is half-guaranteed with 2027-28 non-guaranteed, a modest number for a backup center. The 23-year-old carved out a role for the shorthanded Mavericks as a rookie, averaging 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes across 38 games. He ranked among the league's top 15 in both rebound and block rate, the physicality that made him a valuable role player. Dallas has valued him as cheap depth behind Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, so a match is plausible. Either way, his fantasy value hinges on injuries opening minutes in a crowded frontcourt.--Brian Dailisan

The New York Yankees announced that their game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Bronx on Saturday, July 18, has been postponed due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather. It will be made up as the first game of a split doubleheader on Sunday, July 19. Left-hander Ryan Weathers was scheduled to start on the mound for the Yankees on Saturday and be opposed by Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan. Both pitchers will likely be pushed back to the first game of Sunday's twin bill at Yankee Stadium. Weathers is hoping to continue a strong recent run of form in which he's allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings, but it's going to be a difficult matchup against the first-place Dodgers. The 26-year-old southpaw is 3-7 on the year with a 4.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 110 strikeouts in 97 2/3 frames across 18 starts. Sheehan has allowed only four earned runs with 17 K's in his last three starts, but he's been highly inconsistent in 2026 as a whole, going 4-6 with a 4.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 93 punchouts in 82 1/3 innings covering 17 starts. He'll be a pretty risky fantasy streamer on Sunday in the Bronx.--Keith Hernandez

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Saturday that they agreed to a five-year, $90 million contract extension with right-hander Kyle Bradish for the 2027-31 seasons. The deal comes after Bradish has gone 6-9 with a 3.61 ERA (4.00 FIP) and 1.35 WHIP with 106 strikeouts and 50 walks in 107 1/3 innings across his first 19 starts in 2026 in his fifth year with the O's. The former fourth-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels in 2018 out of New Mexico State University has gone 25-24 with a 3.50 ERA (3.62 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, a 25.2% strikeout rate, and an 8.6% walk rate in 86 starts over his five seasons in the majors. Bradish made only 14 starts for Baltimore in 2024 and 2025 combined due to Tommy John surgery, but now that he's past that, he's locked in as one of the team's top-of-the-rotation arms for the foreseeable future. Since back-to-back outings to start June in which he allowed 10 total earned runs in two starts against the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, Bradish has allowed only nine runs (eight earned) with three wins, 11 walks, and 33 strikeouts in 34 innings in his last five starts. Bradish's arrow is pointing up for the second half of 2026.--Keith Hernandez

The Seattle Mariners announced that they reinstated outfielder Julio Rodriguez (concussion) from the seven-day concussion list on Saturday and designated infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment in a corresponding move. Rodriguez is serving as the designated hitter and will bat second in his return to the starting lineup against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Fantasy managers will want to throw J-Rod back into their starting lineups immediately as a five-category contributor. The 25-year-old three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner will return for the second half of the season with a .259/.323/.424 slash line, .747 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 12 steals across his 344 at-bats. Since June 1, he has gone 25-for-101 (.248) with two homers, two doubles, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 27 games and 115 plate appearances. Rodriguez has only faced Webb three times in his career and has gone hitless with an RBI.--Keith Hernandez

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Demond Claiborne was selected in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after he recorded 1,047 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 games at Wake Forest in 2025. In Minnesota, Claiborne joins a crowded running back room that also includes Aaron Jones Sr., Jordan Mason, and Zavier Scott. As a result, Claiborne may have a difficult time carving out a fantasy-relevant role in his first NFL season. However, both Jones Sr. and Mason will be free agents at the end of the 2026 season, leaving the Vikings without a clear running back of the future. Weighing in at under 200 lbs., Claiborne is a bit undersized for a true three-down role in the NFL. Still, he brings high-end speed and could be worth targeting as a dynasty stash candidate in rookie drafts.--Will Brady

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson was a breakout success story in 2025, recording 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns on 126 targets across 17 games. From the time Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett took over as the team's starter in Week 6, Wilson ranked as the WR11 in per-game scoring. While Brissett is back as the QB1 in Arizona for 2026, Wilson could have a very different situation around him with the Cardinals in the upcoming season. For one, Arizona should get more production out of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who missed five games last season due to myriad injury issues. Additionally, Brissett is unlikely to throw the ball as frequently this season as he did a year ago, when he averaged over 40 pass attempts per game. Arizona has a new play-caller in place for 2026 in head coach Mike LaFleur and also used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on running back Jeremiyah Love. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Wilson.--Will Brady

Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 275 touches. By measure of per-game PPR scoring, Pollard finished the year as the RB30. The veteran back has been both durable and consistent in recent years, recording four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played, 1,000 rushing yards, and 200 receiving yards. However, he's scored just 10 touchdowns across 33 career games as a Titan. While Tennessee's offense should continue to improve in 2026, it still profiles as a mid-tier unit at best heading into the year. Additionally, Pollard is now entering his age-29 season with over 7,500 career touches already under his belt. Tennessee has already shifted more of the backfield receiving workload to running back Tyjae Spears in recent seasons and also added a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft in Nicholas Singleton. As the RB28 by current redraft ADP, Pollard may have trouble paying off his draft-day price.--Will Brady

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II was one of the most productive pass-catchers in the country in his final collegiate season at the University of Tennessee, hauling in 62 catches for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns across 12 games. Carolina selected Brazzell II in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and he could have a chance to see significant playing time right away. Heading into 2026, Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are firmly established as the top two wide receivers on the Panthers' depth chart. Going into training camp, Brazzell II will likely be behind 2024 first-rounder Xavier Legette on the team's wide receiver depth chart as well. However, Legette has provided underwhelming production to this point in his career, failing to record either 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in either of his first two NFL seasons. With a strong showing this summer, Brazzell II could leapfrog Legette. As the WR94 by current redraft ADP, Brazzell II could be worth taking a shot on late in drafts.--Will Brady

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang (foot) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the visiting Miami Marlins with soreness in his right foot that stems from a foul ball that he hit off his foot in Friday's series opener in Milwaukee, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Braden Shewmake is making the start at the keystone and will hit eighth on Saturday against Marlins right-hander Max Meyer. The fact that Turang was able to stay in Friday's game after fouling a ball off his foot likely means that it's just a minor injury, and he should have a good chance to return for Sunday's series finale at American Family Field. The 26-year-old continues to be a must-start in all fantasy formats when he's active for the Brew Crew, and he comes into Saturday's action hitting .286 (16-for-56) with an .873 OPS, two homers, seven doubles, 12 RBI, seven runs scored, and two steals in 13 games (62 plate appearances) so far in July.--Keith Hernandez

A third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane is entering his rookie season with a chance to carve out a role in his team's passing game immediately. Across 11 games at USC in 2025, Lane recorded 49 catches for 745 yards and four touchdowns. The Ravens have a clear WR1 in Zay Flowers, but the team received underwhelming production from current starting outside wideouts Rashod Bateman and Devontez Walker in 2025. Along with fellow rookie Elijah Sarratt, Lane could emerge as a key downfield target for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson if he performs well in training camp and the preseason. Baltimore also has a new coaching staff in place entering 2026. New play-caller Declan Doyle could look to open up the team's passing game a bit more, which could lead to more fantasy production overall from Ravens wide receivers this season. As the WR95 by current redraft ADP, Lane could be a sleeper name for fantasy managers to target at the end of drafts--Will Brady

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a consistently high-end fantasy contributor since joining the Packers in 2024, recording nearly 2,900 scrimmage yards and 30 touchdowns on 607 touches over the past two seasons. However, Jacobs' profile carries some uncertainty ahead of 2026, as he could be facing a league suspension after being arrested following a domestic disturbance in May. Even if Jacobs avoids missed time, he's entering his age-28 season and has already racked up a ton of mileage on his legs. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Jacobs has averaged over 300 touches per season. His efficiency fell off in 2025, as he averaged 4.0 yards per carry and 4.5 yards per touch after averaging 4.4 yards per carry and 5.0 yards per touch in 2024. At his current redraft ADP of RB17, Jacobs may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid in 2026.--Will Brady

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson (elbow) is showing "a lot of improvement" and should begin a throwing program Saturday or Sunday, manager Torey Lovullo said. Nelson has been shut down since landing on the injured list June 19 with a right flexor strain and mild UCL sprain. Arizona transferred him to the 60-day IL on June 25, and the club has listed September as a possible return. Beginning to throw is encouraging, but it is only the first step in what could still be a lengthy buildup. Nelson had a 4.97 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 62 strikeouts across 83 1/3 innings over 15 starts before the injury. He remains a deep-league IL option rather than a must-hold player in standard redraft formats.--Bruno Mulé

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (right arm) will return to the rotation Tuesday against the New York Mets. The 24-year-old was scratched from his July 12 start because of arm fatigue and also sat out the All-Star Game, but Milwaukee never placed him on the injured list. He last pitched July 7, allowing three runs over seven innings against St. Louis, so he will have 14 days between starts. Misiorowski has dominated through 18 outings, going 10-4 with a major-league-best 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, and 167 strikeouts in 111 innings. Fantasy managers can get him active again. Milwaukee has already been deliberate with his schedule, and Misiorowski is now 30 1/3 innings shy of the career-high 141 1/3 he logged between the majors, minors, and postseason in 2025.--Bruno Mulé

Cleveland Guardians catcher prospect Cooper Ingle has continued to hit despite being sent down to Triple-A Columbus after a big-league stint with Cleveland. In three games back at Columbus, Ingle has five hits, including a homer and two RBI. This year with Columbus, Ingle has been extremely productive with 13 homers and 43 RBI and a .291 batting average and a .985 OPS. The No. 3 prospect for the Guardians, Ingle has proven himself at the Triple-A level, it seems, but did little offensively in his brief major league cameo. Ingle had just two hits in his 21 at-bats at the big league level. It's a good sign, however, that he picked up right where he left off at Columbus, and he could get another look at Cleveland this season. Thus, he might be worth a speculative add, as many fantasy managers may have dismissed him after his poor stretch with the Guardians.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) announced Saturday that he will undergo surgery to repair the anterior capsule in his right shoulder, ending his 2026 season. It is the same operation he had in October 2023, a recovery that cost him all of 2024 and kept him out until July 2025. Woodruff said he is going through with the procedure "with the goal in mind of pitching again" and pushed back on retirement talk, adding, "I'm not having a funeral or anything." The 33-year-old finishes 2-2 with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings over nine starts. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues. Shane Drohan and Robert Gasser are scheduled to start for Milwaukee this weekend while the club continues sorting through a depleted rotation.--Bruno Mulé

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins has had an abbreviated 2026 season as he has dealt with injuries. Wiggins started the season with two four-inning outings at Triple-A Iowa before dealing with right elbow inflammation. Between the ACL Cubs and the South Bend Cubs, Wiggins completed four rehab starts before he was activated again by the Iowa Cubs on July 10 for two more starts. In his most recent starts for Iowa, Wiggins allowed a total of eight earned runs in 5 innings pitched. Wiggins has struggled a bit this year, but he has a ton of prospect pedigree as the Cubs' second-round draft pick out of Arkansas. For fantasy purposes, however, it might be best to wait until next year when Wiggins is fully healthy before acquiring his services. This year, it might be smart to leave him on the waiver wire as he works out his health issues and growing pains at Triple-A.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller
