Baldwin came into the day just 9-for-41 (.220) in June, so this was a positive step. The rookie has been solid for most of the season and could see an uptick in playing time later in the summer since Sean Murphy’s name has come up in numerous trade rumors with the Braves six games under .500 and now without Chris Sale.

Since his career-best outing against the Giants, Elder has allowed nine runs on 17 hits in 8 2/3 innings against the Rockies and Marlins. That’s not exactly the follow-up that fantasy managers were expecting. The injury to Chris Sale means that Elder will remain in the rotation, but he does not need to be in your lineups next week against the Phillies.

Fuentes flashed some big-time stuff on Friday in his exciting major-league debut against the Marlins when he allowed four runs over five innings. The precocious 20-year-old righty will get another turn in Atlanta’s rotation while ace Chris Sale is on the injured list with a fractured ribcage. He’s worthy of a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues based on his strikeout potential.

Ruiz has the ability to elect free agency and will presumably do exactly that in the coming days. The 30-year-old righty was removed from Atlanta’s relief mix earlier this week after struggling in a pair of appearances after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies.

Handley was inadvertently knocked completely off his feet on a scary-looking collision with Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. while attempting to field an errant throw up the third-base line during the early stages of Sunday’s game. He’ll be evaluated for a possible concussion in addition to other potential injuries. There should be an update on his status ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Rangers. It’s worth noting that Samuel Basallo wasn’t scratched from Sunday’s lineup at Triple-A Norfolk and is unlikely to be called up as temporary stopgap, despite injuries to both Handley and Adley Rutschman (oblique).

Sengers returns to the big leagues to serve as the primary caddy to starter Luis Torrens in the wake of the Mets’ decision to option Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A. The 28-year-old backstop can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

The writing has been on the wall for a couple weeks now as the Mets finally decided to ship Alvarez to the minors in an apparent effort to hit the reset button and give him a chance to iron things out after struggling to a .236/.319/.333 slash line with just three homers in 138 plate appearances over 35 games. The far greater concern for the 23-year-old former top prospect is that he’s gone from being a near-elite defender when he broke into the majors to merely league-average behind the dish over the last two seasons. Luis Torrens will take over as New York’s primary catcher with Hayden Senger coming up in a backup role.
