It’s an extremely encouraging development for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers that Barger isn’t facing an extensive absence after being scratched from Saturday’s lineup with right hip discomfort. The 25-year-old breakout slugger presumably checked out fine after additional evaluation and testing since he’s back in Toronto’s lineup at third base and batting second for Sunday’s series finale.

Quietly, Clement has had a great season and has been scorching hot in June, going 28-for-74 (.378). That has come with just six extra base hits, one home run, and no steals in 19 games, which highlights a bit of the downside to his game from a fantasy perspective. The batting average will be there, and the runs will be too when Toronto is hot, but Clement won’t help you much in the other categories. Still, he could be a valuable piece depending on your team’s needs.

The veteran struck out seven and walked one while posting a strong 34 percent whiff rate and 33 percent CSW. He wasn’t sharp with the cutter today, but the rest of his pitches were commanded well in the zone and missed bats. He needed just 82 pitches to cover six innings, and it’s possible the Blue Jays wish they had pushed him longer, given that their bullpen imploded in a loss. Bassitt will be in for a much tougher outing in Boston next week.

Scherzer added that he’s feeling fine after completing a roughly 40-pitch bullpen session on Sunday morning and that he’ll return for Wednesday’s showdown in Cleveland. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer has been on the shelf since late March working his way back from a persistent thumb issue that he’ll likely need to manage for the rest of the season. There’s some definite streaming appeal here for fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues, but the persistent durability concerns aren’t going to vanish at this stage of his legendary career.

Smith has been on a heater this month, batting .321 (18-for-56) with two homers, 10 RBI and one steal over his last 15 games to earn a shot in the middle of Houston’s lineup with Isaac Paredes and Yainer Diaz getting a breather during Sunday’s series finale in Los Angeles.

It appears to be a routine off day for Hernández with Andy Pages moving over to right field and Hyeseong Kim patrolling center field. The other notable change for Los Angeles is rookie Dalton Rushing handling the catching duties with Will Smith getting a well-deserved day off.

Not good. Carroll remains on the bench as he continues to recover from a left hand contusion that he suffered earlier this week on Wednesday when he was hit by a pitch. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters the 24-year-old will undergo an MRI on Monday in Chicago to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. The fact that he hasn’t been put on the injured list is an encouraging sign as it appears the organization is merely proceeding with an abundance of caution by giving their franchise cornerstone some extra time off to rest and recover. Hopefully he’ll be ready to return for Monday’s series opener against the White Sox, assuming the MRI comes back clean.
