Trent Grisham is in the leadoff spot on Saturday afternoon, but Domínguez figures to continue getting chances atop New York’s lineup after going 2-for-4 with two homers and a stolen base out of the top spot during Friday’s contest at Citi Field. The 22-year-old former top prospect has legitimately been one of the hottest hitters in baseball recently, hitting .400 (12-for-30) with two homers, six RBI and two steals over his last seven games.

Candelario was released by the Reds after hitting just .113/.198/.213 in 91 plate appearances in 2025. The 31-year-old could be a bench option for the Yankees if he performs well in Triple-A with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but will need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to be promoted. It’s hard to imagine he’ll be fantasy relevant if/when he gets that promotion to New York.

Sherman adds that Schlittler will get the nod to replace an injured Clarke Schmidt, who is likely to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, in New York’s rotation to face the Mariners on Tuesday or Wednesday. The 24-year-old righty has pitched extremely well this season with a sparkling 2.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 99/26 K/BB ratio across 76 2/3 innings (15 appearances, 14 starts) this season between Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset. We’re advising a wait-and-see approach, but there’s at least a few weeks of runway for Schlittler to make an impression before Luis Gil (lat) is ready to return from the injured list for his season debut.

It’s a brutal development for the Yankees, and fantasy managers alike, as Schmidt had pitched to a strong 3.32 ERA across 78 2/3 innings (14 starts) this season before hitting the injured list earlier this week with forearm tightness. The 29-year-old’s absence puts some additional strain on New York’s rotation heading towards the trade deadline. Allan Winans and Cam Schlittler are the most likely candidates to fill his rotation spot. Given the timing of the procedure, Schmidt is unlikely to make it back until the late stages of the 2026 season.

Brown heads to Arizona just a couple days after being released by the Athletics while on the injured list with an elbow issue. The 32-year-old provides the Diamondbacks with some experienced corner outfield depth and has put up some truly eye-popping numbers this season at the Triple-A level.

Altuve was also caught stealing for the sixth time, if you’re looking for a negative. His two homers were among the five that Houston hit in the shellacking, and he also doubled. In addition, he drew two walks while scoring a total of four runs. Probably best to not focus on that caught stealing, in our humble estimation. Altuve is now slashing .269/.331/.443 with 15 homers and 44 RBI following the 14th multi-homer performance of his career.
