Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that right-hander Cal Quantrill (triceps), who landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with right-triceps inflammation, had an MRI exam on Aug. 31 and then received a cortisone shot with the hope that the inflammation calms down and he can make starts at the end of the season in late September. Quantrill is heading into the final year of salary arbitration this offseason and is expected to be a key part of Colorado's starting rotation, so they would like him going into the offseason on a high note. The 29-year-old was scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday at Coors Field against the Baltimore Orioles. Even in deeper fantasy leagues, managers shouldn't be banking on Quantrill's return to close out 2024. Left-hander Ty Blach took Quantrill's rotation spot on Sunday and should stick around in the rotation for the time being.

Texas Rangers rookie starting pitcher Jack Leiter has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to take the ball against the New York Yankees on Monday. This is a quick turnaround for Leiter who also pitched last Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. He allowed three runs (two earned) over four innings of work during that game. He'll face a much stronger lineup on Monday, so Leiter won't be a recommended streaming option for Monday's slate. The rookie right-hander holds a 12.83 ERA, 2.40 WHIP, and 11/8 K/BB ratio across four starts this season. There should be better streaming options available ahead of Monday's games.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This is a rare day off for Kiner-Falefa who has played in every game since he joined the Pirates. The 29-year-old has struggled with a .223/.263/.321 slash line with one home run and seven RBI in 27 games with Pittsburgh. He was tearing the cover off the ball before heading to Pittsburgh, so hopefully a rest day will help him get back on track. In his place, Alika Williams will cover shortstop and bat ninth versus right-hander Jameson Taillon. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option as Williams only has two hits in his last five games.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (groin) is scheduled to take the mound and throw a bullpen session on Monday. Darvish appears to be on the verge of returning to the mound after being sidelined since late May. The 38-year-old is expected to come off the injured list and start against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. It will be his first start in months, which means Darvish is likely going to be limited during his first game back. The right-hander holds a 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 53/15 K/BB ratio across 11 starts this season. He should be a viable fantasy option for managers in need of starting pitching down the stretch of the season.UPDATE: Manager Mike Shildt confirmed on Monday that Darvish will start on Wednesday.

Kansas City Royals first baseman Yuli Gurriel (leg) was removed early during Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The 40-year-old suffered a leg injury while trying to run out a double during Monday's game. Well, Gurriel made it through one full game with the team before getting injured. The team hasn't given an update on his status, but it's likely that Gurriel heads to the injured list. If Gurriel misses time, Freddy Fermin will likely do most of the catching while Salvador Perez sticks at first base. Both players are viable fantasy options and should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats.
