Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Brock Stewart (shoulder), the Dodgers' big deadline acquisition for the bullpen, has some shoulder inflammation. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes they caught it early, but he's going on the 15-day IL, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. The Dodgers' bullpen continues to get hit with the injury bug, and Stewart will join Brusdar Graterol (shoulder), Michael Kopech (knee), Evan Phillips (elbow), Tanner Scott (elbow), and Kirby Yates (back) on the injured list. Stewart had last appeared in Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. At this time, it seems unclear the level of severity of the shoulder injury, and that he will undergo further testing on Wednesday. Stewart has had a nice season thus far, with a 2.63 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 44/13 K/BB in 37 2/3 innings pitched.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced on Tuesday that they have placed infielder Taylor Walls (groin) on the 10-day injured list and recalled outfielder Tristan Peters from Triple-A Durham, Rays Communications reports. Walls had been day-to-day since injuring his groin last Friday, August 8, against the Seattle Mariners. Walls is a strong defensive player; however, he has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .220/.280/.319 with 36 runs scored, four home runs, 38 RBI, and four stolen bases. Additionally, his career slash line in his five MLB seasons is .195/.286/.298. Although this is tough news for the Rays team and their fans, Walls is not a recommended option in fantasy baseball and should remain on the waiver wire.

Kansas City Royals' 22-year-old outfielder Jac Caglianone (hamstring) tallied four hits in Tuesday's game against the St. Paul Saints, going 4-for-5 with one run scored and one RBI. Caglianone landed on the injured list with this injury back on July 26, and took a positive step forward on Tuesday to return to the Royals lineup. Unfortunately for Caglianone, the Royals traded for Randal Grichuk and Mike Yastrzemski at the trade deadline, both of whom are outfielders, which limits his opportunities to secure a spot in the everyday lineup. Still, his upside is too good to pass up, which means he should get that chance to play every day once he returns. Before landing on the IL, the rookie produced a poor .147/.205/.280 slash line with five home runs, one stolen base, 10 RBI, and nine runs over 161 plate appearances through his first 41 big-league games. That being said, his .332 xwOBA and .260 xBA showcase signs that he was getting a bit unlucky.

Milwaukee Brewers young star Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Misiorowski injured his leg when Seiya Suzuki hit a comebacker that struck Misiorowski's leg on July 28. He was diagnosed with a tibia contusion and appears to be heading in the right direction, and hasn't experienced any setbacks, as the swelling has gone down. Given his short stint on the IL, it appears likely he will require just one rehab start before joining the Brewers' rotation sometime next week. Misiorowski continues to be a must-start in all fantasy baseball formats, with his 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 36.7 percent strikeout rate. This minor setback should not limit his ceiling in any way.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Kevin McGonigle went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI during their contest on Tuesday evening against Double-A Chesapeake. This game snapped a six-game power drought for the budding star. Even though he did not go deep in his previous six games, he still held a strong .836 OPS over this stretch. Since joining Double-A Erie, the No. 6-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com has been nothing short of impressive, posting an elite .289/.384/.566 slash line with seven doubles, four home runs, and three stolen bases. McGonigle opened the regular season with High-A and held a .372/.462/.648 line across 36 games. The 30-year-old is quickly rising on prospect boards and is emerging as one of the game's top hitting prospects. He is on track to debut in the majors next season.

Milwaukee Brewers catching prospect Jeferson Quero went 2-for-3 with a home run during their contest against Triple-A Durham on Tuesday evening. This was Quero's first long ball since returning from the injured list on August 7. Since returning, the backstop has hit safely in all but one contest and held a 3:3 K:BB over this stretch. Before his injury, Quero held a .259/.333/.362 line with six doubles and just two home runs over his first 30 games of the Triple-A regular season. He missed part of the first half due to injury as well, but appears to be fully healthy. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the 22-year-old could be in the mix to join the Brewers for the stretch run. For now, the No. 65-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com should be left on the waiver wire. However, if he were to continue to hit for power, he would enter stash consideration.

Boston Red Sox infield/outfield prospect Kristian Campbell was able to snap his brief skid at Triple-A quickly. After riding an impressive 15-game hitting streak, the former top prospect went 0-for-9 across his next three games. After this short slump, Campbell bounced back in a big way, going 5-for-8 with a double and a home run over his last two contests. During his 15-game hitting streak, Campbell carried an elite .393/.469/.589 line with two doubles, three home runs, one stolen base, and a 12:7 K:BB. The Georgia Tech product opened the season with Boston but was sent back to the minor leagues after hitting a slump in May and June. However, given his strong play in the minor leagues and recent shift to first base, Campbell could find himself back in Boston soon. He is a top hitter to stash in all standard leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter has had a rough stretch at Triple-A. In his last start on Sunday against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the former first-round pick allowed nine hits and seven earned runs through 4 1/3 innings. In his previous outing on August 5, Painter also struggled serving up five runs with a 4:4 K:BB through four innings of work against Scranton as well. However, before this rough two-game skid, Painter held a solid 3.12 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP over his last three outings, which suggested he may have been nearing the final stages of his development. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress at Triple-A as the Phillies could look to promote him to strengthen their rotation during the final months of the season. While he has struggled recently, he is still a strong stash option in standard formats, given his high strikeout upside.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Dylan Beavers has continued to stay hot at the plate and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Over his last 12 contests with the Norfolk Tides, the outfielder has posted a strong .313/.459/.667 slash line with two doubles and five home runs. During this impressive run, Beavers has held an 11:13 K:BB and even swiped two bags. After appearing in just nine Triple-A games last season, Beavers has taken a significant step forward this season and is on the verge of earning a call to the big leagues. In 91 total games at the top level of the Baltimore system, Beavers has posted an impressive .303/.419/.521 line with 14 doubles, 18 home runs, and 22 stolen bases. He should be viewed as a top hitter to stash in all leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Bubba Chandler struggled in his recent outing at Triple-A. Facing Omaha, the top pitching prospect in Pittsburgh served up six hits and three runs across four innings of work. He allowed two free passes and struck out only three. This was a bit of a step back compared to his previous outing, where he also allowed three runs but struck out seven and served up just one walk. Over his last eight starts, Chandler has had very mixed results, holding an overall 4.42 ERA with a 1.63 WHIP. During these 38 2/3 innings, Chandler has tallied 42 strikeouts with 29 walks. Through 96 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season, Chandler has posted a modest 3.82 ERA and a 1.42 WIP. Given his inconsistency, fantasy managers should only consider stashing him in deeper 12+ team formats.

Royals' 1B Vinnie Pasquantino had five RBIs going 2-for-3 with a home run in a 8-5 win over the Nationals on Tuesday, Aug. 12.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Juan Morillo earned the first save of his big-league career in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers. Morillo came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by one and turned in a 1-2-3 performance with no strikeouts. The Diamondbacks' bullpen was plagued by injuries earlier in the season, and the team is now in fourth place in the National League West. Four different pitchers have seen save opportunities in the last seven days, including the 26-year-old. Morillo has a lackluster 4.76 ERA, a 1.66 WHIP, and an 8.89 K/9 rate in 28 1/3 innings of work. At this point, it seems like a true dart throw as to who may get the next save opportunity for the team, limiting the potential to find fantasy value.

Houston Astros infield prospect Brice Matthews went 1-for-4 with a home run in a 4-3 win against Triple-A Salt Lake. Matthews was optioned to Triple-A on August 1 following the activation of Jeremy Pea. He struggled during his brief time in the majors despite clubbing three homers in 11 games. He struggled to make consistent contact with a giant 45 percent strikeout rate, and hit just .143. On the occasions he did make contact, he produced an impressive 26.3 percent barrel rate. He'll need to clean up the swing and miss woes to make the most out of his power, and it has been an issue for him in the minors as well. He likely won't be on fantasy radars for the near future.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and an additional run scored against Triple-A Worcester. Caissie belted his 22nd homer of the season and brings his season slash line to an impressive .292/.393/.573 and a 112:53 K:BB ratio in 400 plate appearances. The power numbers have been standout all season for the lefty slugger while also displaying a plus approach. There were talks of him potentially getting moved at the trade deadline, which would have opened up every day playing time for him, but it ultimately didn't happen. An injury would likely need to pop up for Caissie to get a shot at the majors this season. He'd make for a decent speculative add in 15-team formats in that case.

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Chris Martin (calf) felt pain in his left calf while throwing a live bullpen on Tuesday and will pause his rehab ramp-up, per Dallas News' Shawn McFarland. Martin, who has been on the injured list since July 20, was progressing through regular bullpen sessions and training, but felt irritation when advancing to more strenuous activities. The 39-year-old was putting together a solid season before his injury, collecting 12 holds with a 2.36 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and a 25.7% strikeout rate in 34 1/3 innings pitched. Fantasy managers will have to wait for another update, although Martin was only offering fantasy value in saves-plus-holds leagues, given his role.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (ankle, ribs) looked excellent in Tuesday's rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Nola pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks with 11 strikeouts over 84 pitches. The 32-year-old has made three rehab starts while recovering from ankle and rib injuries, compiling a 2.19 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and 17 strikeouts in 12 1/3 IP. This is encouraging for fantasy managers, as Nola had a poor 6.16 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and 23.6% strikeout rate in nine starts with the Phillies before going on the injured list. It was reported last week that Nola may return to the Phillies after this rehab start, so fantasy managers should be on the lookout for more news.

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang (pinky) exited Tuesday's 14-0 win over the Pirates early due to a "slight pinky issue", per Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg. Turang went 1-for-3 with a solo home run off of Paul Skenes and a strikeout before being replaced by Andruw Monasterio. Per manager Pat Murphy, Turang was only pulled because the Brewers were up by so much. It sounds and seems like the issue shouldn't hinder Turang, although fantasy managers should keep an eye out for any news on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has been productive for fantasy once again, slashing .278/.344/.411 with 12 HR, 56 RBI, and 21 stolen bases in 481 plate appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras (foot) exited Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Rockies after being hit by a pitch in his right foot. Contreras was plunked in the fourth inning, and he stayed in the game until the sixth inning, when he was replaced defensively by Nolan Gorman. The team reported the injury as a right foot bruise. Contreras went 0-for-1 with the hit-by-pitch before exiting. Fantasy managers should look for further updates in the coming days to get a better idea of whether Contreras may have to miss time. The 33-year-old has produced offensively while transitioning to first base this season, slashing .255/.344/.443 with 16 home runs, 65 RBI, and four stolen bases in 472 plate appearances.

The San Francisco Giants recalled second baseman/outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday ahead of their game against the Padres. Fitzgerald played second base for the Giants earlier in the season, but he was playing right field at Triple-A and was slotted in the lineup against the Padres batting eighth and playing right field. Pitcher Carson Wisenhunt was optioned in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old was unable to replicate his 2024 success with the Giants in the first portion of 2025, slashing .227/.287/.333 with three home runs, 13 RBI, and nine stolen bases in 222 plate appearances. As for Wisenhunt, the 24-year-old posted a 5.04 ERA in three starts with the Giants, although he was not faring much better at Triple-A.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz (head) exited Tuesday's game against the Brewers after a collision in the bottom of the fourth inning. Cruz was replaced by veteran Tommy Pham and is currently undergoing evaluation and treatment from the team's medical staff. The severity of the injury has not yet been disclosed. Cruz is in his fifth season with Pittsburgh and has shown flashes of upside despite an inconsistent year at the plate. Through 108 games, he is slashing .207/.304/.398 with a .702 OPS. With his rare athletic profile and raw power, Cruz remains a key part of the Pirates' long-term plans.
