The Atlanta Braves are calling up top prospect Vaughn Grissom from Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday. The 21-year-old shortstop has hit a combined .324/.405/.494 with an .899 OPS, 14 home runs, 67 RBI, 72 runs scored and 27 stolen bases in 442 plate appearances over 96 games with High-A Rome and Mississippi this year in the minors. In 22 games at Double-A, he slashed .363/.408/.517 with a .925 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and seven steals. Shortstop is blocked by Dansby Swanson, but with both Ozzie Albies and Orlando Arcia on the injured list, Grissom could play regularly at second base for the Braves in the immediate future. Grissom's power/speed combination warrants a look in most fantasy formats.

Braves Vaughn Grissom prospectsMilwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers (knee) had a cortisone shot in his left knee over the weekend, which is why he was unavailable to pitch on Tuesday night in the win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Rogers should be good to go soon. With Devin Williams also unavailable after a heavy recent workload, right-hander Matt Bush came on for the save. In his two outings since being traded from the San Diego Padres, Rogers has allowed a run on two hits while striking out three and walking one in two innings. The 31-year-old southpaw has 28 saves on the season, but in Milwaukee he'll mostly be working as the eighth-inning setup man in front of Williams, which makes him a lot less attractive in fantasy baseball leagues.

This is bad timing for Boston, as Houck has been sharp out of the bullpen this year. He currently holds a 3.15 ERA and 56:22 K:BB ratio over 60 innings (four starts, 28 relief appearances) on the season. Houck already had two saves in August and appeared to be the best option for Boston in the ninth inning. Now the Red Sox will likely have to go with a closer-by-committee approach with Houck sidelined. Garrett Whitlock will probably be the favorite for save chances with Houck injured, with John Schreiber and Austin Davis also being late-inning options.

The organization announced that Anderson will undergo surgery to repair the torn ligament in his left hand. The expectation is that Anderson is going to be sidelined for the next six weeks. A tough blow to the White Sox with Anderson hitting over .300 on the season with six homers and 12 stolen bases. Leury Garcia started at shortstop during their first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Possibly, he continues seeing more starts while Anderson is sidelined. However, it's unlikely any replacement is going to have the kind of value that Anderson offers the team.
Aug 9 · Source via White Sox Tim AndersonBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (wrist) underwent season-ending surgery on Monday after injuring his wrist during a bicycle accident on Saturday. The surgery was officially described as an open reduction and internal fixation of a right distal radius (wrist) fracture. Sale is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year. The 33-year-old southpaw got a late start to the season while dealing with a rib-cage injury, then he needed surgery to fix a broken left pinkie finger that was hit by a line drive in just his second start of the year. Since 2020, Sale has made just 11 starts for Boston due to an assortment of injuries. It's good news that he's expected to be ready next spring, but he's becoming an extreme injury risk at this stage of his career.
