Trea Turner Exits Early Due to Knee Injury
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (knee) left early during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Turner exited the game after fouling a pitch off his right knee, according to Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer. He was removed from the game in the eighth inning with the Phillies already leading big. The team was likely just being cautious, especially with a big lead on the scoreboard late in the contest. Before leaving, Turner went 1-for-3 with a single, a run scored, and a walk. Justin Crawford replaced him in the lineup while Edmundo Sosa took over at shortstop. Fantasy managers should check back after the game for another update on his injury.

Roman Anthony to Begin Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Tuesday, according to Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. It appears that Anthony is finally making progress with his finger injury that has kept him sidelined since early May. He has been rehabbing a partially torn tendon in his finger, but appears ready for game action. Given he hasn't played in months, Anthony will likely require a lengthy rehab assignment. He should return by the end of the month, but will likely require at least a week of rehab games. Fantasy managers should check back for an update on his status over the next week.

Logan Webb Removed with Back Tightness
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (back) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. Webb was pulled after 80 pitches due to back and shoulder tightness, according to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. Webb threw six strong innings, but began to feel tightness in his shoulder after getting hit by a comebacker in the fifth inning. The Giants decided to remove him from the contest as a precaution. Before exiting, Webb allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out seven batters across six innings of work. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch against the Boston Red Sox next week. Fantasy managers should check back in the coming days for an update on his status.

Joshua Baez Blasts Three Home Runs in Historic Debut
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez made history during his big league debut against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Baez did something no other MLB player has done before, which is homer in his first three plate appearances. He took the first pitch he saw as a big leaguer deep to center field for a solo homer off Matthew Boyd. He continued his success off Boyd with another long ball in the fourth inning. Baez came up for his third plate appearance in the sixth inning and blasted a ball over the right field wall. Overall, Baez went 3-for-4 with three homers and five RBI in his debut. The power and speed potential make Baez worth snagging in all fantasy formats right now after his incredible MLB debut.
