Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Roman Anthony has excelled with Double-A Portland, especially in June. Through 15 games, he's 16-for-57 (.281 AVG) with four doubles, five home runs, 11 RBI, and a 5:12 BB/SO ratio. Before June, he'd lacked power, slashing .243/.365/.392. However, he's up to .254/.366/.463 slash line on the season. It's also worth noting that Anthony has performed better against lefties than righties. A left-handed hitter, he's currently 13-for-40 (.325 AVG) with a .910 OPS against lefties. Against righties, he's 39-for-165 (.236 AVG) with a .809 OPS, which is still rather impressive. Just 20 years old, Anthony is expected to make his MLB debut next year.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (leg) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates with a right lower-leg contusion. Fraley fouled a ball off his leg a few days ago and is still being bothered by it, so he'll take a seat in the series finale. Consider him day-to-day for now and check back to see if he's back in the lineup for Thursday's series opener in St. Louis against the division-rival Cardinals. With Fraley out on Wednesday, Levi Jordan will draw into the lineup in left field and will bat ninth for the Reds against Pirates right-hander Luis L. Ortiz. Fraley can't seem to stay healthy this year but has been valuable to fantasy managers in deeper leagues against right-handed pitching with his .277 average (51-for-184) with 11 stolen bases.

After being acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, veteran left-hander Dallas Keuchel will make the start on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting Texas Rangers. Keuchel has plenty of big-league experience and even won the American League Cy Young in 2015 with the Houston Astros, but he's bounced around the league since his final season in Houston in 2018 and has pitched in only 24 major-league games (20 starts) with four different teams since the start of 2022. He hasn't been good in that span, either, posting a 7.96 ERA and 1.91 WHIP with 70 strikeouts and 49 walks in 98 1/3 innings. However, Keuchel had a 3.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 71 innings for Triple-A Tacoma over 13 starts this year before the trade. If Keuchel pitches well against Texas on Wednesday, he could stick around in Milwaukee's rotation.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is getting a breather on Wednesday in Milwaukee and will not start against the Brewers in the series finale. In his absence, Josh Smith will play shortstop and bat third in the order against left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who will be making his first start for the Brewers after being acquired in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. Seager gets the day off after starting each of the team's last 11 games while going just 7-for-42 (.167) in that span with a stolen base. Despite the recent skid, the two-time World Series MVP is a must-start every day that he's in the lineup for Texas. Smith is batting a cool .300 (70-for-233) on the year and has been even better against lefties with a .350 average (21-for-60) with two of his seven homers on the year.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) is back with the team on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Jung met with a surgeon in Phoenix on Tuesday and got good reports on the structural status of his bone. He's just dealing with soreness and doesn't have any damage, and he expects to start swinging a bat again in the next couple of days. The 26-year-old was dealing with some inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist, which pushed back his activation from the 60-day injured list just a bit. Jung isn't going to be back in the big leagues by this weekend, but his return could come next week. If for some reason he's sitting on your league's waiver wire, pick him up immediately. Jung, a former eighth overall pick, was a first-time All-Star in 2023 when he hit 23 home runs and 70 RBI in 122 games.
