Riley Greene Reinstated From 10-Day IL

The Detroit Tigers activated outfielder Riley Greene (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and announced he will serve as the 27th man for tonight's game against the New York Yankees. Greene is working back from a right hamstring strain and will hit in the No. 2 spot in the Tigers' lineup on Sunday. The 23-year-old is hitting .264/.357/.485 this season with 17 homers and 51 RBI in 101 games this season. Greene is a solid producer in fantasy leagues and should be activated on most fantasy rosters upon this news.

Brandon Nimmo Leaves Game With Shoulder Discomfort

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo left Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins with shoulder discomfort according to the team. Nimmo was 1-for-3 with a solo home run before exiting the contest early. It will be worth monitoring this injury to see if it is something more serious than it sounds. Nimmo is hitting .229/.343/.414 with 18 homers and 71 RBI this season. The slash line numbers are well below his career marks as he has struggled a bit this year, especially with the batting average.

Jasson Dominguez Promoted To The Major Leagues

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is being promoted to the major leagues for Sunday's game in Willliamsport, Penn., as the 27th man, according to Newsday. Dominguez has spent the entire summer in the minor leagues but has been limited as he has battled numerous injuries. Through 40 games split between several levels of the Yankees system, the switch-hitter has held a stellar .298/.365/.477 slash line with seven round-trippers, 24 RBI, and nine swiped bags. The top prospect in the Bronx got a brief taste of the majors last season and posted a .258 average with four long balls and one stolen base across a small eight-game stint. The 21-year-old is likely to be sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Sunday's game, but the man they call the Martian will have an immediate fantasy impact in all formats once he returns to the Bronx for good, likely when rosters expand in September.

Jorge Soler Sitting Out On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (hamstring) will be kept out of the lineup on Sunday afternoon for the fourth straight game. Soler was diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain on Thursday but remains day-to-day. As a result, veteran Ramon Laureano will cover right field again. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 32-year-old's status prior to their three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies, which kicks off on Tuesday evening. The slugger has once again enjoyed a nice power season, hitting 16 long balls so far with a .244/.339/.438 line. He returned to Atlanta at the deadline, where he won World Series MVP in 2021. When he returns to the lineup, he and Michael Harris II should share leadoff duties. Laureano could be a value play in DFS this afternoon as he will bat in the five-hole against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, who holds a 7.98 ERA.

Tyler Black Struggling In Return To The Big Leagues

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Tyler Black has struggled at the plate since rejoining the major leagues on August 11. Black has started three out of the eight games so far and gone 1-for-11 in the batter's box. Earlier this summer in the majors, Black held a .235/.316/.294 line across 12 games. At Triple-A Nashville this summer, the No. 4 ranked prospect in the Milwaukee system has held an excellent .276/.389/.448 slash line with 12 doubles, four triples, 11 long balls, 52 RBI, and 16 swiped bags. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 24-year-old's playing time, as he could be sent down to Triple-A in the coming weeks to continue his development. Given his production in the minors, deeper league managers should continue to hold onto Black, as he could be a viable fantasy asset down the stretch if given the playing opportunities.
