Rice will make his first as a catcher in the majors. Assuming this doesn’t become a disaster, there’s a good chance the 26-year-old will get a few more starts behind the plate, and it not only helps his fantasy stock for 2025, but would be a big booster for the 2026 prospectus as well. Austin Wells is getting Wednesday off with Rice behind the plate.

It’s a significant step forward in Gil’s throwing progression as he continues to work his way back from a lat strain that he suffered back in spring training. However, he’ll need several weeks to build up his arm strength and pitch count in the minors before he’s ready to make his season debut, which makes it unlikely he’ll return before next month’s All-Star break. He’s worth stashing in deeper fantasy formats on the likelihood that he makes an impact, especially in the strikeouts department, over the final two months of the year.

Stanton, 35, will get a break after playing in his first two games back as the designated hitter. The Yankees will likely give the outfielder some maintenance days throughout the 2025 campaign. He’ll take a seat with Jasson Dominguez operating as the DH and hitting eighth.

Brubaker has been out for the entirety of the 2025 season after suffering three fractured ribs just before the start of the campaign. The 31-year-old will be a middle-inning option for the Yankees now that he’s back on the roster.

Technically, Reynolds is already out on paternity leave after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers after his wife went into labor with their third child. The 30-year-old outfielder will be away from the club for a couple days with Billy Cook coming up from Triple-A to take his spot on Pittsburgh’s roster.

The Braves are currently 12 games back in the NL East and seven games out of a Wild Card spot, so they face a real uphill climb to get back into the postseason race. If they don’t make up enough ground by the deadline, Feinsand believes Ozuna will be the most attractive rental for Atlanta. However, we also know he’s playing through a tear in his hip, so it’s unclear what kind of return he would net. Feinsand lists the Guardians, Rangers and Tigers as potential trade destinations.

Brown also said that Alvarez “is not taking swings right now.” It’s unclear how the 27-year-old is “day-to-day” but also hasn’t begun swinging, but perhaps he’ll pick up a bat any day now. Until he does, we have no idea what his true timeline for return will be.
