Connor Prielipp SP | MIN
Twins' Connor Prielipp: Notches five Ks in bulk relief
Prielipp struck out five and allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks across four innings of relief in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.
Prielipp made a second straight appearance as a bulk reliever, this time piggybacking Joe Ryan (glute), who was lifted after four innings and 66 pitches in his first start with Minnesota in more than a month following his return from the injured list. Ryan should be ready to handle a more standard workload in his next start, so unless the Twins elect to expand the rotation to six men, Prielipp could end up taking on a more flexible bullpen role over the final two weeks of the season. The Twins are looking to limit Prielipp's workload down the stretch; he's already racked up 126.2 frames between the majors and Triple-A St. Paul in 2026, a 44-inning increase from his 2025 total.

Robert Stock SP | NYM
Mets' Robert Stock: Back in rotation Wednesday
Stock is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins in Miami.
After Stock notched a hold while facing two hitters in a relief appearance during Friday's win over the Giants, the Mets will plug him back into a starting role this week while the club moves to a six-man rotation. Interim manager Andy Green said earlier this month that he plans to keep Christian Scott on at least a five-day rest schedule between starts for the remainder of the season, and with the Mets kicking off a stretch of 10 games in 10 days beginning Friday, Stock could be in line for at least one more turn through the rotation beyond Wednesday. In his prior six starts with New York, Stock turned in a 5.88 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 26 innings.

Jack Perkins RP | ATH
Athletics' Jack Perkins: Nabbing start Tuesday vs. Blue Jays
Perkins is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays in Sacramento.
Perkins was headed out of the big-league rotation after being optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, but the Athletics recalled him one day later after starter J.T. Ginn (elbow) was moved to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. He'll end up sliding into Ginn's spot in the rotation, but given his recent form along with the fact that he'll be pitching at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park, Perkins won't make for a comfortable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues. Prior to his brief demotion, Perkins went 1-8 with a 6.91 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 83:40 K:BB in 70.1 innings over 13 starts and three bulk-relief appearances upon moving into the Athletics rotation in early June.

Aaron Judge RF | NYY
Yankees' Aaron Judge: Will be eased into full-time role
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Judge will be eased back into a full-time role.
Judge was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday and will return to the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Rockies. He is skipping a rehab assignment and has not played in a game since late May, so Judge will be subbed out early in some games and will get some extra days off as the Yankees ease him back into an everyday role.

Salvador Perez DH | KC
Royals' Salvador Perez: Drives in three runs Monday
Perez went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
Perez picked up a trio of hits, most notably a bases-clearing double in the 10th inning. The veteran slugger has been much better in the second half, slashing .272/.323/.474 with eight homers, 34 RBI and 17 runs in 46 games since the All-Star break. Overall, he's hitting .230/.274/.387 with 19 homers, 71 RBI and 48 runs across 135 contests.

Craig Kimbrel RP | KC
Royals' Craig Kimbrel: Implodes in extra-inning loss
Kimbrel (1-4) took the loss Monday against the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning.
Kimbrel entered a scoreless game in the 10th and couldn't contain Arizona after beginning the inning with the automatic runner at second. Lars Nootbaar's sacrifice fly broke the tie, and the Diamondbacks eventually pushed across five runs in the frame. Kimbrel finished the inning, but the Royals couldn't respond in the bottom of the frame, so the veteran reliever was tagged with his fourth loss of the season while seeing his ERA climb to 4.53. Despite the subpar outing, it wouldn't be surprising if Kimbrel gets more ninth-inning opportunities -- the Royals are employing a committee-based approach in the absence of Carlos Estevez (shoulder), and Kimbrel is one of the options to close out games alongside Steven Cruz and Nate Pearson.

Shea Langeliers C | ATH
Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Progressing in rehab
Langeliers (knee) took batting practice Monday and is slated to run the bases Tuesday, per MLB.com.
Langeliers has made steady progress in his recovery from the meniscectomy he underwent on his right knee at the end of July. The Athletics are well out of the playoff race and don't need to push the 28-year-old, but his continued buildup in rehab leaves the door open for a late-season return to the active roster. Before hitting the shelf, the catcher slashed .263/.332/.497 with 23 home runs, 51 RBI, 55 runs and two stolen bases in 93 games.

Eli White CF | BOS
Red Sox's Eli White: Producing as fill-in starter
White started in center field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-2 win over the Angels.
White continued to fill in for the injured Ceddanne Rafaela (IL, quadriceps), making a fifth consecutive start in center field. He's hit safely in all five, going 7-for-20 with a double, a home run and six RBI during that stretch.

Noah Cameron SP | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Seven strikeouts in no-decision
Cameron didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Diamondbacks after allowing three hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.
Cameron dominated Arizona and didn't allow a runner to advance beyond first base during his six innings. He lowered his ERA to 3.93 with this strong showing, and he now owns a 1.66 ERA across 59.2 innings over his last nine starts dating back to July 24. Cameron is scheduled to make his next start Sunday on the road against the Red Sox.

Jarren Duran LF | BOS
Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Reaches 20 homers
Duran went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Angels.
Duran led off the bottom of the second inning with the homer, his 20th of the season. Despite what has been a trying season for the outfielder, who is batting .204, Duran has contributed pop, defense and speed (18 stolen bases). He's poised for a second 20/20 season.
