Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo won't make his scheduled start against the Chicago Cubs this weekend. According to Adam Jude, Woo will be pushed back from his scheduled outing on Sunday. Instead, Kade Anderson will get the ball on Saturday, while Bryce Miller gets the starting nod for Sunday's series finale. Woo was removed early during his most recent start against the Houston Astros due to shoulder soreness. It sounds like Woo is still dealing with some soreness, but is expected to be worked into the rotation at some point next week. At the moment, there are no plans to have Woo placed on the Injured List, but it shouldn't be completely ruled out. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Woo next week.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins (forearm) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's start against the Philadelphia Phillies. According to Derrick Goold, Dobbins left this game early due to right forearm tightness. Dobbins was pulled after throwing one pitch in the fifth inning. His day finishes with three earned runs on five hits while striking out three batters across four innings of work. The Cardinals haven't said whether or not Dobbins will require a trip to the Injured List. Brycen Mautz could get a shot in the rotation if Dobbins does miss time. Fantasy managers will need to check back over the weekend for another update on his status.

Seattle Mariners top pitching prospect Kade Anderson is scheduled to make his season debut against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Anderson has earned a late-season call-up after posting fantastic numbers during his lone season in the minor leagues. The Mariners selected Anderson as the third overall pick during the 2025 June Amateur Draft. During his first year in Double-A Arkansas, Anderson posted a 1.06 ERA, 0.64 WHIP, and a 135/13 K/BB ratio across 93.1 innings of work. The 22-year-old is clearly ready to be promoted above Double-A, but the Mariners feel he's ready for the big leagues after 18 starts in the minors. Given his numbers, Anderson is a must-add player ahead of his big league debut versus the Cubbies on Saturday.

New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga is attempting to reinvent himself as a relief pitcher. Senga has been working as a closer lately and has pitched extremely well in that role. During August, Senga has only given up one earned run while recording four saves in six appearances. The expectation is that Senga will continue being the closer until Devin Williams (shoulder) returns, which is likely at some point in September. Fantasy managers seeking help in the relief pitcher department should consider adding Senga while he's still the closer. Williams figures to take over as the closer once he's healthy, but it's unclear when that'll be right now.
