According to Tim Healy, Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (finger) is getting closer to a minor league rehab assignment. Anthony is hitting off a high-tech pitching machine, which is normally the last step before facing live pitching. He has been hitting in the batting cage and seems extremely close to getting back into game action. Anthony has been out since early May due to a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger. Barring any setbacks, Anthony has a chance to return to the Red Sox lineup by late August or early September.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (back) is scheduled to take the ball for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday. It's good to see the southpaw getting back on the mound. McClanahan has been sidelined since the end of July due to back tightness. The expectation is that McClanahan will require one or two more rehab starts to build up his stamina before returning to the Rays rotation. Barring any setbacks, fantasy managers should expect McClanahan to return before the end of August. He should take over Griffin Jax's (elbow) spot in the rotation, with him recently landing on the shelf.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage (knee) underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus on Tuesday. He underwent successful left knee surgery and is now considered week-to-week, according to Mitch Bannon. The Jays haven't ruled out him for the rest of the season, but it's going to be tough for return in time for any regular season action. If the Jays somehow get into the playoffs, Yesavage might be an option, but otherwise, his season is probably over. This season, Yesavage posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and a 91/46 K/BB ratio across 18 starts. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can start looking for a replacement.

According to Jeff Passan, the New York Yankees are calling up right-handed pitching prospect Bradley Hanner on Tuesday. The Yankees are looking to bolster their bullpen, so hopefully Hanner can offer some relief. He owns a 2.28 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 61/24 K/BB ratio in 40 appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. Hanner is a former 21st-round pick of the Minnesota Twins from the 2019 draft. He could be an interesting late-inning option for the Yankees, assuming he can translate his game to the big league level. He's someone deep league managers should keep an eye on.
