New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez doesn't have a clear path to a big-league call-up anytime soon. "There's currently no lane for us to bring him. It's nice to know he's there. He's just knocking rust off and waiting for his opportunity if it comes," general manager Brian Cashman said. "He's healthy. Ultimately, the injuries this year prevented him from getting much of a bulk of performance. He's definitely sitting there waiting in the wings if need be, playing mostly in centerfield. I think we're going to get him over in left. He's done multiple positions in his career. He's just waiting in the wings, hungry and waiting to see if he gets his chance. It's nice to know he's available to us if need be." The 21-year-old got a late start in 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and then he missed almost six weeks with a strained oblique. Dominguez should be an immediate fantasy contributor across all categories when he's in the Bronx, but that may not come until 2025.

San Diego Padres catcher Kyle Higashioka will head to the bench in Sunday's series finale against the hosting Miami Marlins as the Friars go for the three-game sweep. Luis Campusano will be behind the dish and will bat ninth for San Diego against Marlins right-hander Max Meyer. Higashioka and Campusano have been splitting playing time more regularly ever since Campusano returned from an injury earlier this year. In his first year with the Friars, Higashioka is hitting only .230 (38-for-165) but has been useful in fantasy leagues for his power, as he's slugged a career-best 14 home runs after hitting 10 long balls in each of his previous three seasons with the New York Yankees. Campusano, meanwhile, has been a disappointment offensively after a strong start, as he heads into Sunday's game with a .238/.278/.379 slash line with a .658 OPS, seven homers and 37 RBI in 240 at-bats.

The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated left-hander DL Hall (knee) from the 60-day injured list on Sunday and placed left-hander Hoby Milner (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 9) with a left-shoulder impingement in a corresponding move. The team also moved right-hander Enoli Paredes (forearm) to the 60-day IL. Hall will make his fifth start of the year, and first since April 20 against the St. Louis Cardinals, on Sunday against the visiting division-rival Cincinnati Reds. There's a good chance the 25-year-old southpaw will be a bullpen piece for the Brew Crew down the stretch as long as their current starting rotation stays healthy. We wouldn't recommend Hall as a viable streaming option in his return to the big leagues, either, as he had posted a 7.71 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in 16 1/3 innings for Milwaukee in his four starts before his knee injury.

Seattle Mariners All-Star outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list and put back in the starting lineup for Sunday's night's showdown against the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Luis Severino, serving as the designated hitter. Rodriguez suffered a high-ankle sprain on July 21 while making a play against the center-field fence and has been out since then. He has made consistent progress in his recovery and has tested out his ankle in recent days by running. It's unclear when J-Rod will return to center field, but his return to the lineup should give Seattle a boost at a time when they are battling the Houston Astros for the lead in the American League West. Rodriguez has had a disappointing 2024 season, but in nine games before his injury, he hit .438 with a 1.281 OPS with three home runs.

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is getting a day off on Sunday against the hosting division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. James McCann will do the catching for right-hander Albert Suarez and will bat ninth against Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs. It appears to be a normal day of rest for Rutschman in a matinee affair to close out the series. The 26-year-old All-Star backstop should be back in the O's lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Washington Nationals after a scheduled day off for the team on Monday. Rutschman had a three-hit game on Saturday night and has been hot so far in the month of August, going 9-for-28 (.321) with three doubles, a triple, seven RBI and four runs scored in eight games played. McCann will be a low-upside DFS sleeper at the catcher position for Sunday's slate of games and should be avoided.
