The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old has been dealing with back spasms and the injury has kept him sidelined since last Thursday. In a corresponding roster move, the team called up fellow third baseman Kevin Padlo. Apart from providing 13 stolen bases this year, Hayes hasn't delivered much value for fantasy managers. Across 103 games, he's slashed .251/.323/.358 with six home runs, 35 RBI and 44 runs.

Pirates Ke'Bryan HayesNew York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (oblique) underwent an MRI on Tuesday morning and the exam revealed a low-grade left oblique strain. The expectation for now is that he will be sidelined for three-to-four weeks. Carrasco was removed from his start on Monday due to the injury. His next scheduled start was for this coming Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's likely we'll see either David Peterson or Trevor Williams fill in for him on Saturday and remain in the team's rotation while Carrasco is out. The 35-year-old has had a solid year for the Mets, pitching to a 3.92 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP across 23 starts.
Aug 16 · Source via Mets Carlos CarrascoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (elbow) will have season-ending elbow surgery on Aug. 23. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Buehler recently resumed playing catch for the first time since suffering a Grade 2 flexor strain in his right elbow on June 10, but he apparently had a change of plans and will now undergo surgery. The Dodgers and fantasy managers were hoping to get the 28-year-old right-hander back later this year, but he can now be dropped in all single-year formats. In 12 starts this year, Buehler went 6-3 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 58 strikeouts and 17 walks in 65 innings pitched. With Buehler out for the year and Clayton Kershaw (back) on the injured list, Dustin May's (elbow) impending season debut this weekend will be a big boost for LA's rotation.

So far this season, Knebel has pitched to a 3.43 ERA and a 4.46 FIP in 44.2 innings in his first year with the Phillies, striking out 41 batters and allowing 28 walks in the process. He's also registered 12 saves and a pair of holds. Philadelphia also reinstated right-handed pitcher Sam Coonrod from the 60-day injured list and designated left-handed pitcher Andrew Vasquez for assignment.

He was dealt to the Nationals from the Padres as part of the blockbuster deal involving star outfielder Juan Soto. The 21-year-old slashed .232/.285/.320 with two homers, 16 runs, 11 RBI, and a stolen base with the San Diego in 21 games. Luis Garcia (groin) is expected to be placed on the injured list Monday. Abrams will fill in at second base while Garcia is sidelined. Fantasy managers should look to add Abrams in all league formats as the upside is there for the former first-round pick.
