Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (fingers) is set to visit with Dr. Gary Lourie, who is a hand specialist, in the coming week, according to The Boston Globe's Tim Healey. Interim manager Chad Tracy said on Sunday that Anthony's scheduled visit with a hand specialist is "for peace of mind" and to get Anthony to "a spot where he can focus each day on just pounding away at getting that hand healthy." The former top prospect has been out for nine weeks with a partially torn ligament in his right ring finger. He has yet to resume swinging a bat and doesn't have a timetable for a return. The 22-year-old former second-round selection in 2022 is quickly developing an injury-prone label after finishing his rookie season on the injured list last year. Anthony has played in just 30 games in 2026 and has hit .229 (25-for-109) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs, and two steals in 130 plate appearances. His power/speed upside makes him a hold in all fantasy leagues, but at this point, it seems unlikely that Anthony will be ready to return from the 60-day injured list until August. He's rostered in 79% of Yahoo leagues.

Boston Red Sox left-hander Ranger Suarez (groin) was pulled from his start early on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels in the third inning with left-groin tightness, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Suarez was seen shaking his leg and grimacing before being pulled. Before getting hurt, Suarez allowed three earned runs on six hits while walking none and striking out five in just 2 2/3 innings pitched. The 30-year-old Venezuelan southpaw is now in danger of missing his final start before the All-Star break, and he probably won't be cleared to pitch in the Midsummer Classic, either. Going into Sunday's series finale against the Halos, Suarez was 4-3 with a 2.94 ERA (2.71 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 92 strikeouts and 26 walks in 88 2/3 innings across 16 starts in his first year in Beantown. Suarez should be held until we know more about the severity of his injury. He has a 25.5% strikeout rate, which is the second-highest of his career, and a 7.2% walk rate. Suarez is rostered in 90% of Yahoo leagues. Fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility of him not making another start until late July.

San Francisco Giants slugger Bryce Eldridge has emerged as one of the league's most intriguing young power hitters during his second major league season. After appearing in just 10 games in 2025, the 21-year-old has launched seven home runs while slashing .274/.365/.476 with an .841 OPS across 47 games. The former first-round pick possesses elite underlying metrics that support his breakout. His 54.6 Hard-Hit% ranks in the 98th percentile, while his .374 xwOBA sits well above league average. Eldridge has also paired his power with a strong 12.4 BB%, showing a polished offensive approach. Fantasy managers searching for home run upside should target Eldridge as a high-impact waiver wire addition before his roster percentage climbs.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Sproat has endured an inconsistent first full major league season after making four appearances with the Mets during his 2025 rookie campaign. The 25-year-old owns a 5.13 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and .244 opponents' batting average across 17 appearances, including 15 starts. Sproat showed encouraging progress in June, however, posting a 3.46 ERA during the month. His 25.3 K% remains comfortably above league average and highlights the swing-and-miss ability that holds his ceiling high. Limiting hard contact remains the biggest hurdle, but his recent performances point toward continued improvement. Fantasy managers searching for pitching upside should consider Sproat a worthwhile buy-low waiver wire target before his value climbs.
