Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase had a nice bounce-back performance after a blown save on Sunday to earn his 19th save of the season in Monday's 7-5 win over the Astros. Clase came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two and shut the door with a 1-2-3 outing. The 27-year-old has not been quite as automatic as he has in previous seasons, but he has still converted 19 of 23 save opportunities with a 3.20 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP, and an 8.92 K/9 rate in 39 1/3 innings of work. He has gotten unlucky on balls in play, with a .357 BABIP that is almost 100 points higher than his career average of .261. This is an encouraging sign for fantasy managers, who can hope for some positive regression throughout the rest of the season.--Connelly DoanSource: MLB.com

San Francisco Giants closer Camilo Doval picked up his 14th save of the season in Monday's 3-1 win over the Phillies. Doval entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two. He allowed a leadoff walk but got the first out on a lineout and ended the game by inducing a groundball double play. The 28-year-old started the season outside of the closer's role but has regained it and pitched well overall, converting 14 of 18 save opportunities with a 3.10 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, an 8.62 K/9 rate, and a 4.31 BB/9 rate in 39 2/3 innings of work. His strikeouts have been uncharacteristically down and his high walk rate has been in line with expectations, but Doval should continue to provide fantasy value on a strong Giants team.--Connelly DoanSource: MLB.com

Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz said on Monday that he expects starting pitcher Davis Martin (forearm) to begin a rehab assignment this week. Further specifics were not provided. Martin was placed on the 15-day injured list in the middle of June due to a right forearm strain. The 28-year-old had gotten some good results before his injury, going 2-7 with a 3.79 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and a 15.9% strikeout rate in 14 appearances (13 starts) over 80 2/3 innings pitched. Fantasy managers will need to see how he fares in his rehab assignment before determining next steps. However, his poor supporting offense and low strikeout ceiling limit his overall fantasy value, even if he returns fully healthy.--Connelly DoanSource: Jack Ankony - X.com

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Allan Castro earned Eastern League Player of the Week honors for June 30 - July 6 after going 12-for-24 (.500) with three doubles, a triple, a home run, six RBI, five runs scored, and a 3:4 BB:K in six games for the Sea Dogs. Boston's 21st-ranked prospect is hitting well this season, slashing .301/.381/.470 with six home runs and five steals through 46 games, all at Double-A Portland. The 22-year-old should get a shot at Triple-A pitching by season's end, and could be in the mix for an MLB debut sometime next season. The switch-hitting Dominican is not stashworthy in dynasty leagues, though.--Jarod RuppSource: MiLBcom

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Hunter Strickland (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday with right shoulder inflammation. Victor Mederos was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. The 36-year-old veteran had posted a serviceable 3.27 ERA in 22 innings pitched but also had an 11% walk rate and just a 15.4% strikeout rate. Mederos has served as a starter for his minor-league career, so it remains to be seen what his role with the Angels may be. His 3.97 ERA,1.30 WHIP, and 18.2% strikeout rate in 14 starts with Triple-A this season leave something to be desired, and he will need to earn his way onto fantasy managers' radars.--Connelly DoanSource: Angels PR - X.com

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Erik Miller (elbow) said Monday that he had been dealing with forearm tightness for the last few weeks before going on the 15-day injury list on Saturday, per San Francisco Chronicle's Shayna Rubin. He had an MRI done that revealed a mild UCL sprain in his pitching arm. While the 27-year-old stated that he isn't worried about his injury, the most optimistic timeline given for his recovery was five weeks. Miller had been a viable fantasy option in saves-plus-holds leagues, going 4-1 with 10 holds and a 1.50 ERA in 30 IP. However, walks had been a significant issue for him, with a 15.6% walk rate, and his 17.2% strikeout rate was notably lower than his career mark of 26.5%.--Connelly DoanSource: Shayna Rubin - X.com

Kansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell (wrist) has completed his rehab assignment and has been reassigned to High-A Quad Cities, which is where he spent the final five games of 2024. The Royals' second-ranked prospect broke his wrist in the spring and it has kept him out until now after suffering a setback during his rehab that caused an additional delay. The 20-year-old went 8-for-28 (.286) with two doubles, a home run, three steals, and an 8:10 BB:K in 11 games during the rehab assignment with the team's Complex League affiliate. At this point, the left-handed slugger will likely spend the remainder of the season at High-A, but should push for the higher levels next season.--Jarod RuppSource: MLB Pipeline

According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) still isn't hitting yet but will hopefully do so soon. Santander has been sidelined on the IL since May 30 with a shoulder subluxation and still hasn't taken swings, although it appears he'll do so soon. The Venezuelan native's first stint with the Blue Jays hasn't begun the way he'd imagined after a career-year in 2024 -- slashing a woeful .179/.273/.304 through 50 appearances. Maybe his inevitable minor-league rehab assignment will be enough to break him out of his funk. The switch-hitting right-fielder won't be eligible to return until the end of the month (Jul. 30).--Alex CiullaSource: Shi Davidi

The Cleveland Guardians placed first baseman Kyle Manzardo (family emergency) on the family medical emergency list Monday and recalled outfielder Jhonkensy Noel from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for further updates as to when Manzardo may be able to rejoin the team. Noel has struggled in his time with the Guardians this season, but he has slashed an impressive .280/.343/.538 in his time at Triple-A. There is not much action to take from this news from a fantasy perspective, although managers may want to see if Noel can make a better impression this time around in the big leagues.--Connelly DoanSource: GuardsInsider - X.com

The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed right-handed pitcher Shelby Miller (forearm) on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Jul. 6 with a forearm strain, per MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher Juan Morillo was promoted from Triple-A Reno. Yikes. No injury is good news, but this is one of the more troubling ones. There has been no mention of a timeline for the veteran's return. However, one would think there's a chance he may not be available when eligible on Jul. 20. Miller has been superb in 2025, boasting a 1.98 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 36 1/3 innings (37 appearances). Morillo figures to hold down Miller's spot in the bullpen and has been solid in Triple-A. Still, he's undoubtedly a downgrade over the 34-year-old.--Alex CiullaSource: Steve Gilbert

Per MLB.com's Scott Merkin, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) should return within the next couple of days if "all goes well." The 27-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list a few weeks ago, but has progressed well from a hamstring strain that ailed him -- a notoriously tricky injury. Whether he'll make it back for the final game of Chicago's home series with the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday remains to be seen, but it shouldn't be too long after that, barring any setbacks. He's had a rough go to start the season, hitting a paltry .185 (.583 OPS) with a 30.9% strikeout rate. However, there's hope for a rebound, considering Robert Jr. has grossly underperformed a .232 expected batting average.--Alex CiullaSource: Scott Merkin

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kenedy Corona was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land for his major league debut on Monday. The 25-year-old is expected to provide outfield depth after Jake Meyers left Sunday's contest with right calf tightness and was out of the lineup Monday. Corona's stay may not be long-lived as Meyers isn't expected to need an IL stint, nor was he batting all that well at Triple-A prior to his call-up. The right-handed hitter was slashing .228/.315/.351 for the Space Cowboys through 76 games. The Venezuelan does have some speed and walks at an above-average rate, but his calling card is his defense. For now, he can be left to waiver wires in fantasy.--Jarod RuppSource: MiLB Central

Per MLB.com's Sonja Chen, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is expected to return for Wednesday's road matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dominican Republic native missed his team's previous two contests after fouling a ball off his foot in Saturday's loss to the Astros. Presumably, testing came back negative, as he's set to rejoin the team only a few days later. Apparently, Hernandez was feeling well enough to potentially be used off the bench in Monday's meeting with Milwaukee, but wasn't needed in a 9-1 defeat. The 32-year-old is caught in a bit of a slump, going 3-for-24 (.125) over his last seven appearances.--Alex CiullaSource: Sonja Chen

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Robert Calaz was named California League Player of the Week after going 9-for-21 (.429) with a double, four home runs, eight RBI, four runs scored, and a 2:4 BB:K in six games for Single-A Fresno. The Rockies' third-ranked prospect is slashing .277/.341/476 with nine home runs, 36 RBI, and 26 runs scored through 55 games for the Grizzlies. The 6-foot-2 Dominican hit .325 in the Dominican Summer League in 2023, won the Arizona Complex League triple crown, and then hit .327 in 13 games at Single-A last year, showing strong exit velocities along the way. He's excelling at every turn, and at 19 years old there's still plenty of room to grow, so he's a prospect to keep tabs on as he has the makings of a quick riser.--Jarod RuppSource: MiLB.com
