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.

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.

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.

Rice gets the nod over veteran Giancarlo Stanton to face Mets righty Frankie Montas on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. The 26-year-old slugger made his 11th appearance at catcher earlier this week, which gives him eligibility there in some formats, which is a significant boost to his fantasy appeal moving forward.

Cameron has the option to elect free agency or stick around with Milwaukee as extra organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old outfielder got into 21 games this season for the Brewers, hitting .195 (8-for-41) with one homer and one stolen base.

Carroll returns to Arizona’s lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Royals following a two-week absence recovering from a fracture in his left wrist. The 24-year-old fantasy superstar has put together a remarkable first half, hitting .255/.341/.573 with 20 homers and 10 streals through 72 games. The central question for fantasy purposes whenever a hitter comes back from a wrist injury is whether it’ll wind up sapping their power production. It’s the singular variable that fantasy managers should pay close attention to in the handful of games left before the All-Star break.

Lovullo declined to say exactly when Carroll will rejoin Arizona’s lineup, but it sounds like it could potentially be at some point this weekend. The 24-year-old has gotten a handful of rehab games under his belt in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League as he works his way back at a remarkably-fast pace from a fractured left wrist.
