Jonah Tong is set for his first Mets start Friday, a ceiling-raising moment for a deep pitching pipeline, while Kyle Bradish returns from Tommy John with a 10K gem that has fantasy managers rechecking rest-of-season plans. Sandy Alcantara shows signs of life, building a promising run of starts as the rotation reshapes down the stretch. A cluster of rookie arms—Waldrip, Schlittler, Bubba Chandler—are tracked for immediate impact, and power hitters Springer and Story light up the night with big production. Waiver chatter centers on Joe Adell and Nolan Gorman fueling shallow and deep leagues alike.

Top prospects Kevin McGonicle, Spencer Jones, Jet Williams, Jonah Tong and Robbie Snelling headline September call-ups, while Tyler O’Neill’s wrist injury adds risk to the power outlook. The episode underscores looming playoff rosters and the need to chase immediate impact from call-ups when possible.

McGonicle could inject Detroit with on-base presence and power; Jones offers big-power upside for New York; Williams brings elite speed; Tong could join Mets in a six-man plan; Snelling carries multi-inning upside for Miami. Waiver-wire discipline is key as teams narrow rosters.

The show stresses precise stash decisions and rehab timelines to optimize short-term streams and DFS angles, turning late-season call-ups into real fantasy leverage.

Yankees dropped three of four to Boston, offense showing power but defense and depth failing when needed. Judge's injury timeline looms large while Volpe shows a spark, hinting at fantasy upside if surrounding pieces stabilize.

Boston leaned on Trevor Story's weekend surge and Connor Wong's RBI double, while Garrett Crochet piled up 11 strikeouts in relief. The weekend underscored Boston’s bullpen strength and left New York facing a tough rest-of-season path.
