Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday evening with right elbow soreness. The Reds plan on recalling a player from Triple-A sometime tomorrow. The right-hander expressed some pain in his throwing elbow following his previous start on Tuesday and will now sit out for at least the next two weeks. Since the start of July, the hard thrower has been one of the best pitchers in the sport, boasting an incredible 0.98 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, and a 12:53 BB:K ratio across 46 frames. Overall, through 143 1/3 innings of work, the Notre Dame product sits with a 2.83 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP and is on pace to have the best season of his major league career. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to who is called upon to fill the open spot in the rotation going forward.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri will take a seat again on Saturday afternoon as the Rays continue a three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the third time in the past four games that the 29-year-old has been kept out of the starting nine. Since the start of August, Siri has carried a .188/.257/.219 line with no home runs and just two stolen bases, As a result, Jonny DeLuca will get the starting nod at center field this afternoon and will bat in the seven-hole. Overall, Siri has showcased his upside for power and speed but has never been able to show it on a consistent basis. While DeLuca holds an underwhelming .171 AVG this month, he has begun to be a regular in the Tampa starting nine. He is best to fade this afternoon in DFS as he will face Arizona ace, Zac Gallen.


Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is hopeful to avoid an extended stint on the 15-day injured list. Glasnow hit the injured list on Friday with right elbow tendinitis. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reported that Glasnow lobbied to start this weekend, but manager Dave Roberts would have been on "pins and needles" watching it. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any other updates regarding Glasnow, as he could return as soon as his 15-day stint ends. Before the injury, the 30-year-old held a solid 3.49 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 45:168 BB:K ratio through 134 innings of work. He sports an excellent 2.63 xERA and a .197 xBA, which suggests he should enjoy a nice conclusion to the campaign. Glasnow should remain stashed on all rosters and should be placed immediately into your starting lineup when he returns.


San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (thigh, quadriceps) has begun going through baseball activities, including long toss, but remains without a timetable. Manager Mike Shildt expressed that the 25-year-old is "taking those next steps" but did not suggest any potential return window. However, Shildt did note that when he ramps up, he will get ready quickly. Tatis hit the 10-day injured list last June and was eventually shifted to the 60-day IL due to a femoral stress reaction. Before the injury, the budding star was enjoying a nice season as he boasted a .279/.354/.468 line with 14 home runs and eight stolen bases. He posted an elite 13.9% barrel rate and 53.8% hard-hit rate. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Tatis on their injured reserve, as he could push your team over the edge if he returns sometime next month.
