Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (shoulder) had a follow-up visit with thoracic surgeon Dr. Gregory Pearl on Tuesday to re-establish a plan of care, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Priester has been pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment multiple times due to reduced velocity and continued discomfort as he tries to battle his way back from thoracic outlet symptoms. At this point, it appears that the 26-year-old is trending toward needing season-ending surgery, but nothing is official yet. In his eight rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, at High-A Wisconsin, and at Triple-A Nashville, Priester has surrendered 28 earned runs on 22 hits (one homer) while walking 24 and striking out 18 in 16 innings pitched. Priester was set to be part of Milwaukee's starting rotation again in 2026 after going 13-3 in 2025 with a 3.32 ERA (4.01 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, and 132:50 K:BB in 157 1/3 innings over 29 outings (24 starts) in his first year with the Brew Crew. He's now rostered in only 12% of Yahoo leagues.

Chicago Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera (hand) was pulled from his start early on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field with a cramp in his right hand, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Cabrera was handed his fourth loss of the year in a 5-2 decision against Colorado, allowing five earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings of work. The good news is that Cabrera isn't dealing with blister issues on any of his fingers, an issue that has already caused him to miss time on the injured list this year. For now, we'll consider the 28-year-old Dominican hurler to be day-to-day, but he could be in danger of missing his next scheduled start. In his first year on the North Side of Chicago, Cabrera has been pretty volatile for fantasy managers, as he entered his start on Tuesday against Colorado with a 4.86 ERA (5.08 FIP) and 1.41 WHIP with 58 strikeouts and 23 walks in 63 innings over his 12 starts. After his rough outing on Tuesday that ended prematurely, Cabrera is sporting a 5.21 season ERA.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (wrist) resumed hitting on Tuesday, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Zwelling reports that Varsho will continue to ramp up over the next few days as the Blue Jays "evaluate his next steps." Varsho was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 10 due to wrist inflammation, but it appears he may have avoided a significant injury and could return close to when he is first eligible. Across 236 plate appearances in 2026 before the injury, Varsho hit .256/.331/.408 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 27 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 29-year-old has drastically cut down his swing-and-miss this season, reducing his strikeout rate from 28.4% in 2025 to 19.1%. However, he's also seen a significant drop-off in power, as his barrel rate has fallen from 15.9% to 6.0%. If Varsho can make a quick return from his current injury and rediscover some of his power, he could emerge as a strong contributor for fantasy managers in the second half of the season.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans (elbow) remains shut down from throwing amidst ongoing injury symptoms in his left elbow, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Rogers reports that Ragans is scheduled to see a new doctor in the coming days as the team seeks a better understanding of the injury. The 28-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since early May and does not appear to be particularly close to making his return to the Royals rotation. Ragans broke out as a fantasy ace in 2024, pitching to a 3.14 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 223 strikeouts and 11 wins across 186 1/3 innings (32 starts). However, he's struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness since then, recording a 4.73 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 143 strikeouts across 97 innings (21 starts) over the past two seasons. Ragans is worth stashing in deeper league formats, but fantasy managers in shallower leagues without IL spots may need to consider looking for a replacement on the waiver wire.
