Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (oblique) has returned to Miami to be re-evaluated on Monday after he was unable to play for Triple-A Jacksonville on his minor-league rehab assignment the last two days, according to Isaac Izaout of Fish On First. Stowers started his rehab assignment with the Jumbo Shrimp on Friday night but was held out on Saturday and Sunday due to fatigue after going 0-for-3 as the designated hitter. The 27-year-old breakout star has been on the 10-day injured list since the middle of August, and it's unclear if he's had a setback with his strained oblique or if he's dealing with another issue, but his availability for the remainder of the 2025 season is now firmly in question. For the time being, Joey Wiemer should continue to see most of the playing time in right field in Miami, with Victor Mesa Jr. also being an option for more starts in the outfield.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) gave a thumbs up in the clubhouse at Wrigley Field, a sign that he's not too worried about a right-knee injury that he suffered in Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. However, the Cubs are playing it safe with their All-Star center fielder and could keep him out a second straight game in Monday's series opener at the Atlanta Braves. The 23-year-old fouled a ball off his kneecap on Saturday and had to leave early. "PCA came in actually feeling pretty good," manager Craig Counsell said before Sunday's loss. "He's still a little sore today, but we're going to get him moving around today, which is a good sign. We'll see how that feels." While Crow-Armstrong might sit on Monday, he doesn't appear to be in danger of going on the injured list.

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made was promoted to Double-A Biloxi on Monday after a highly successful 2025 campaign that began at Single-A and saw him move to High-A in early August. The Brewers' top-ranked prospect (MLB No.5) played well at Single-A, including 40 steals in 83 games, but flourished at High-A, where he slashed .343/.415/.500 with a .426 wOBA and 157 wRC+ across 27 games there. The 18-year-old will be one of only two players that young at Double-A, with the other being the Athletics' top prospect (MLB No. 3) Leodalis De Vries. The 6-foot-1 Dominican possesses plus hit, power, and run tools, giving him the profile of a future multi-category fantasy producer, and he should be stashed away in dynasty leagues.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber reports that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) is headed for an MRI exam on his right hamstring on Monday after he left in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins with a hamstring strain. Either way, Turner probably will not play in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets, and fantasy managers should be well prepared for the 32-year-old veteran to land on the injured list. If Turner needs to go on the IL, there's a chance we may not see him again until the playoffs in October, which would obviously be terrible news for fantasy managers still playing for a title. If Turner must miss extended time, Edmundo Sosa is the top candidate to take over everyday duties at the 6 in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller is headed to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following a productive campaign at Double-A this year. The Phils' second-ranked prospect started off slow, hitting just .217 through his first 77 games, although he still managed to hit eight home runs, draw walks at a 14.2 percent rate, and steal 37 bases during that time. However, in the last 31 games, he's hit .361 with five home runs, logged a 25:25 BB:K, and stolen 15 additional bases. In all, the 21-year-old finishes his Double-A season with a .259/.382/.427 slash line with 13 home runs and 52 steals in 108 games. The former first-round draft pick could be in line for a late-season call-up in 2026, and the 6-foot-1 slugger should already be stashed away in dynasty formats.

San Diego Padres right-hander Michael King (knee) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list and start on Tuesday versus the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Petco Park, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. It would give King four starts before a potential postseason appearance for the Friars, which the Padres think is sufficient ramp-up for King to give them what they need in October. While King will be extra risky in starting fantasy lineups on Tuesday in his first start back, he'll also be lined up for a two-start week with a second appearance coming against the last-place Colorado Rockies on Sunday at home. The 30-year-old has made just one start since late May after also missing extended time with a right-shoulder injury. King was SD's best pitcher to close out last year, but he'll be a wild card upon his return given his injury-plagued 2025 campaign.

Cleveland Guardians left-hander John Means (elbow) didn't fare too well in his fifth minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A Columbus, giving up five earned runs on six hits while waking two and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings of work. He threw 46 of his 72 pitches for strikes in the outing. Means had his fifth rehab start pushed back from Friday to Sunday because of an illness, and perhaps he still wasn't feeling all that great. The good news is that the 32-year-old southpaw was extended out to 72 pitches. However, it's expected that he'll need at least one more rehab start before the Guardians consider activating him for what will be his 2025 debut in the big leagues. Given the time of year, fantasy managers will not be able to consider Means a realistic option when he makes his debut with Cleveland, and he won't even be guaranteed a starting role.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has not been confirmed for Monday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves, as manager Craig Counsell will reevaluate his status tomorrow before the game. Crow-Armstrong is day-to-day with a right knee contusion after fouling a ball off his kneecap on Saturday. The 23-year-old started the season hot but has cooled off in recent weeks, slashing .160/.216/.230 in August. A short break could benefit the young outfielder, giving him a chance to reset and rediscover his swing as the Cubs aim for a deep October run.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell exited Sunday's game after reportedly feeling nauseous, according to manager Ray Montgomery. He was replaced by Matthew Lugo in the top of the ninth inning and finished 1-for-4 with a strikeout and a two-run home run in the first inning, his 35th of the season. Adell is likely day-to-day as the Angels monitor his availability for Monday's game. The 25-year-old is slashing .243/.303/.507 with an .810 OPS and has clearly unlocked his power stroke, making this his most productive season as a big leaguer.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker is unlikely to be in Monday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves as he continues to recover from a calf injury, according to manager Craig Counsell. Tucker last played on September 2 and has been sidelined since, though he is reportedly ramping up his pregame work. He remains day-to-day, but the Cubs hope to have him back soon as they push for a playoff spot in the National League. The 28-year-old is slashing .270/.381/.472 with 22 home runs in his first season with Chicago, showing his trademark consistency.

Reds' SP Hunter Greene recorded 12 strikeouts in 7 innings collecting the win in a 3-2 win over the Mets on Sunday, Sep. 7.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is set to undergo concussion evaluation after being struck in the head by a warmup swing from Jacob Wilson in the seventh inning, forcing him to leave Sunday's game. Manager Ray Montgomery said O'Hoppe is feeling "OK," but the Angels will prioritize his health before clearing a return to the lineup. Fantasy managers should monitor updates closely as his status remains uncertain. O'Hoppe is slashing .217/.260/.386 with a .646 OPS and has hit 19 home runs in 109 games during his fourth season.

New York Mets right-hander Brandon Sproat made his MLB debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, turning in a strong six-inning performance despite taking the loss. Sproat allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out seven, flashing plenty of upside in a quality outing. The 24-year-old threw 88 pitches, 58 for strikes, good for a 66 percent strike rate. With more opportunities to grow and refine his command, Sproat has the potential to become a key piece in the Mets rotation as they push for a playoff spot.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez had his turn in the rotation pushed up to Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The Astros decided to scratch Luis Garcia who was going to start this game, and give the ball to Valdez. The southpaw wasn't great on the mound, but the biggest blow was a two-run home run by Jake Burger in the sixth inning. He tossed seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five batters in the loss. Valdez has been inconsistent on the mound lately, so fantasy managers will take this performance even if it wasn't an elite outing.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Andrew Vaughn was nearly unstoppable at the plate during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After an epic beginning to his career in Milwaukee, Vaughn saw his numbers take a dip there for a bit. Now, Vaughn appears to be back after a strong performance on Sunday. He went 4-for-5 at the plate with three singles, a double, and one RBI in the blowout win. His overall numbers aren't great because of his previous time with the Chicago White Sox. However, Vaughn has been a stud with the Brewers and should be rostered in at least deep leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski looked outstanding on the mound during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Coming into this start, Misiorowski had struggled lately with three earned runs or more in each of his last four starts. The rookie right-hander was able to bounce back nicely on Sunday. He tossed seven innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out eight batters in the win. The hope is that this will help him get back on track down the stretch of the season. The upside alone makes Misiorowski worth rostering in most fantasy formats. His next start will come against the St. Louis Cardinals next weekend.

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Daniel Palencia (shoulder) is likely to miss time after suffering an injury during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Palenica was removed from Sunday's outing due to tightness in his right shoulder. Before exiting, Palencia was destroyed for five earned runs on four hits with one walk in the loss. There is no word on how long Palencia will be sidelined, but a trip to the injured list seems likely. Brad Keller is likely going to be the next man up in the bullpen, but Porter Hodge should also be in the mix for saves in Chicago.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh slugged his league-leading 53rd home run of the season in an 18-2 thrashing of the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Raleigh's three-run jack in the top of the ninth against right-hander Rolddy Munoz traveled 426 feet. The AL MVP candidate finished the afternoon 2-for-6 with an additional run scored. He's now slashing .243/.351/.581 with an AL-high 113 RBI, 94 runs scored, and a surprising 14 stolen bases over 619 plate appearances. Raleigh is just one homer from tying the legendary Mickey Mantle for most by a switch-hitter in a single season. With another three weeks left in the regular season, Raleigh also has a good chance to reach the 60 mark. He's already in uncharted territory as the first catcher to smash at least 50 in a season.

The Texas Rangers will shut down right-handed reliever Josh Sborz (shoulder) for the rest of the season, manager Bruce Bochy told reporters. Sborz hasn't pitched in the majors at all this year after undergoing shoulder debridement surgery last November. The 31-year-old threw 12 innings in the minors this season, but he wasn't able to regain his velocity and will now turn his attention to a return in spring training. Sborz also dealt with shoulder problems in 2024 and totaled just 16 1/3 innings in the majors as a result. In his most recent full campaign, 2023, he logged a 5.50 ERA (3.35 xERA) with a 1.15 WHIP and 66:17 K:BB over 52 1/3 frames. While Sborz had trouble keeping runs off the board that regular season, he helped pitch the Rangers to a World Series title in the playoffs with 12 innings of one-run ball.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson (wrist) is expected to come off the 10-day injured list before Monday's series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Burleson will end up with a minimum IL stay after landing on the shelf with right-wrist inflammation on Aug. 29. He underwent a pain-killing injection shortly after going on the IL, and it helped lead to a quick recovery. The 26-year-old will return with a .286/.337/.451 line, 16 homers, 60 RBI, 47 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 472 plate appearances. With three weeks left in the season, Burleson will have a chance to reach the 20-HR mark for the second straight year.
