New York Mets relief pitcher Adam Ottavino closed out Sunday's 7-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves, picking up his seventh save in the process. Ottavino didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike out a batter in his inning of work. This was Ottavino's first save since July 1, as the Mets had relied on David Robertson for the majority of their save opportunities until he was traded to the Miami Marlins. Since then, the Mets have gone with a committee approach with Brooks Raley taking the lefty-heavy lineups. Ottavino hasn't had many chances, but one would assume the Mets would use him against righty-heavy matchups meaning he should get a few save chances down the stretch. He can be rostered in deeper formats if saves are needed.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (knee) came out of Saturday's game versus the Colorado Rockies after taking a hit-by-pitch to his right knee in the seventh inning. He went 0-for-3 before his night ended. The 33-year-old was not pinch-run for, however, and felt much better after getting treatment following the contest. X-rays were deemed unnecessary, and it looks like Freeman is prepared to get right back into Sunday's lineup without potentially needing his first day off of the campaign. The fantasy superstar is hitting .342 with 28 home runs, an MLB-leading 43 doubles, 83 RBI, 101 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases in 532 plate appearances (116 games).

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the visiting Detroit Tigers and right-hander Matt Manning, serving as the designated hitter and batting third. Turner is returning to the lineup for the first time since Monday while battling a bone bruise in his left heel since July 31. It's an issue that the 38-year-old said he'll probably have to deal with for the rest of the season, but he prefers to play through it instead of going on the injured list. It could affect Turner's production at the plate and will likely lead to more scheduled off days. He's been a must-start in all fantasy leagues in his first year in Beantown, but hopefully this injury won't cause him to finish the year on a low note.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Detroit Tigers. It's an issue that has been bothering Turner since July 31, and he now hasn't played since Monday of this week. Turner wants to continue playing through an injury that he said typically has a recovery timetable of four to six weeks. We'll see how long that lasts until the Red Sox consider putting him on the injured list. If he does continue playing, it's something he'll apparently have to manage the rest of the season. Masataka Yoshida is serving as the designated hitter on Friday and is batting cleanup, with Pablo Reyes starting at the keystone and batting seventh against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Turner has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues in a strong first season in Beantown, but it remains to be seen when he'll return to the diamond.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals. Trevor Story is serving as the designated hitter again and is batting fifth, while Pablo Reyes starts at the 6 and hits leadoff against Royals left-handed opener Austin Cox. It's Turner's third straight game on the bench while he deals with a left-heel bone bruise that has been bothering him since July 31. The 38-year-old veteran said it's an injury that typically requires substantial rest, but he's going to try and play through it the rest of the season. Turner could return to Boston's lineup at some point this weekend as the likely DH, but it remains to be seen how it will affect him offensively.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) is dealing with a left-heel bone bruise that typically requires four to six weeks of rest. However, Turner said on Wednesday that he plans to play through the injury, although the Red Sox are giving him a couple days off this week. When the 38-year-old veteran does return to the lineup, expect him to mostly serve as the designated hitter to keep him off his feet as much as possible. It's an injury that has bothered him since July 31, and in four games since then, he's gone 3-for-14 with four strikeouts. Turner is hoping to avoid the injured list, but if things get worse, an IL stint could be inevitable. He's been great in 2023, hitting .284 with 17 homers, 71 RBI, 67 runs scored and even four stolen bases for Boston.

As expected, Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) will miss another game on Wednesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals, and he'll likely be out on Thursday for the series finale in KC, too. Trevor Story is serving as the DH on Wednesday and is hitting third again, while Pablo Reyes will play the 6 and bat ninth against Royals right-hander Jordan Lyles. Turner is still battling through a bruised left heel that caused him to miss a handful of games last week as well. The 38-year-old isn't expected to go on the injured list, though, so hopefully fantasy managers will get him back this weekend against the Detroit Tigers. Despite almost being 40 years old, Turner has been a must-start in fantasy leagues in 2023 due to his run production.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) sat out on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals after missing four straight games last week due to a heel bruise he suffered on July 31. Turner went just 2-for-10 in the last three games and still isn't 100 percent. Manager Alex Cora said Turner will likely avoid the injured list, but he will likely be out of the lineup again for a couple of days to recover. "He's a little banged up," Cora said. "We're probably gonna stay away from J.T. today, tomorrow and maybe the last game of the series. Hopefully, we can get him ready for the weekend." Fantasy managers need to act accordingly and keep Turner on their benches until this weekend. He's been a must-start for his ability to produce runs regularly in 2023.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner will take the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals. Outfielder Masataka Yoshida will serve as the team's designated hitter and will bat second against Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Turner has missed some time recently with a left-heel contusion, but he was able to serve as the DH in the last three games. Boston will give the 38-year-old veteran a day off here to rest up. The two-time All-Star isn't quite done despite being nearly 40 years of age. In his first year in Beantown, he's produced nicely for fantasy managers, slashing .284/.353/.474 with an .826 OPS, 17 home runs, 25 doubles, 71 RBI, four steals and 67 runs scored in 105 games. Turner has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues in 2023.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Justin Turner (heel) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 38-year-old veteran missed the last three contests with a left heel contusion but is ready to rock against Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios in Saturday's divisional tilt. Turner has been excellent for Boston this season, slashing .286356/.481 with 17 home runs. 71 RBI, and four stolen bases over 391 at-bats. He's serving as the designated hitter and batting third in this one.

The Padres announced veteran right-hander Craig Stammen has retired. The 39-year-old suffered a right shoulder injury during spring training and hinted at retirement, so the update isn't surprising. Stammen was drafted by the Nationals in 2005. He appeared in 562 career games in Washington and San Diego, mostly out of the bullpen, amassing a 3.66 ERA and 108 holds.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Justin Turner (heel) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. Masataka Yoshida will continue to serve as the designated hitter while batting third, with Jarren Duran in left field and batting leadoff against Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah. Turner hasn't played at all this week due to a left-heel contusion, but he should be able to avoid the injured list as long as he can return at some point this weekend. The newly acquired Luis Urias is starting at the keystone for Boston and batting eighth in his debut with the club. Despite his age, Turner has been great for fantasy managers in 2023, mostly for his ability to drive in runs. UPDATE: Turner will be available off the bench on Friday, so he should definitely return to the starting lineup at some point this weekend, possibly Saturday.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) has missed the past two games with a left-heel contusion, but the 38-year-old and manager Alex Cora are targeting a Friday return with the off day Thursday. That's great news for fantasy managers, as they won't have to wait long to get his production back. Turner's slashing .286/.356/.481 with 17 homers, 66 runs, 71 RBI, and four stolen bases over 102 contests. The 15-year veteran is valuable in all formats as a solid hitter in the middle of Boston's lineup.

Boston Red Sox third baseman/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) remains out of action on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Masataka Yoshida will serve as the designated hitter and bat third again, with Jarren Duran in left field and hitting leadoff against Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. Turner suffered a left-heel contusion on Monday and hasn't played since. With a scheduled off day for the team on Thursday, hopefully Turner can return to face the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. The 38-year-old veteran has been an RBI machine all year, but especially in the last two months. Overall, he's hitting .286/.356/.481 with an .837 OPS, 17 home runs, 71 RBI, four stolen bases and 66 runs scored in 391 at-bats.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 4-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base, and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Oakland Athletics. The 33-year-old would get busy after a first-inning flyout, leading off the fourth frame with a single which helped jump-start a four-run Dodgers surge. Freeman then doubled during the fifth before singling in the seventh, eventually coming around to score another run. The superstar then put a bow on his big night with an eighth-inning RBI single to provide some insurance, adding a swipe in the frame, too. It was Freeman's fourth four-hit effort of the year. MLB's doubles leader (36) has certainly been amazing all year, but Freeman is seriously raking of late. The three-time Silver Slugger is batting .425 (34-for-80) with seven home runs, eight doubles, and 20 RBI in his last 20 games.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Justin Turner (heel) is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners and rookie right-hander Bryce Miller. Masataka Yoshida is serving as the designated hitter and batting third, while Jarren Duran starts in left field and bats leadoff against Miller. Turner left Monday's game early with a left-heel contusion, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he's not playing on Tuesday. The 38-year-old should be considered day-to-day this week. Despite being almost 40, Turner continues to produce for fantasy managers in all league sizes. He's been a must-start while slashing .286/.356/.481 with an .837 OPS, 17 long balls, 71 RBI, four stolen bases and 66 runs scored in 391 at-bats. Hopefully, he'll be back in there on Wednesday.

Boston Red Sox third baseman/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) is being considered day-to-day with a left-heel contusion after leaving Monday night's game early against the Seattle Mariners. Turner injured himself while trying to beat out an infield single in the ninth inning on Monday night and had to be removed. Fantasy managers should expect the 38-year-old to rest for at least a day on Tuesday, if not more. Despite his advanced age, Turner has been solid and an RBI machine in his first year in Boston. He's currently hitting .286/.356/.481 with an .837 OPS, 17 home runs, 25 doubles, 71 RBI, four stolen bases and 66 runs scored in 102 games. He was excellent in July, going 30-for-89 (.337) with five homers, eight doubles, 28 RBI and 18 runs scored in 23 games.

Boston Red Sox second/third baseman Justin Turner (unknown) exited Monday's 6-2 loss to the Mariners in the ninth inning after legging out an RBI infield single, per NESN's Tom Caron. Turner, who was designated hitting, went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, and two strikeouts. The 38-year-old has been a great fantasy asset this season, slashing .286/.356/.481 with 17 home runs and 71 RBI. Fantasy managers should know more by tomorrow but should keep an eye out for more news. Hopefully, he can avoid a serious injury.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Craig Kimbrel picked up his 18th save of the season in Monday's 4-2 win over the Marlins. Kimbrel entered to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by two and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with no strikeouts. The 35-year-old veteran has been a solid fantasy contributor after a rough start to the season and has only blown one save opportunity with a 3.13 ERA and 12.72 K/9 rate. He may not be as dominant as he was earlier in his career, but Kimbrel is still producing like an upper-mid-tier fantasy option.

New York Mets relief pitcher Adam Ottavino appears primed to take over part of the role held by David Robertson after the latter was traded to the Miami Marlins on Thursday. Ottavino will likely see the bulk of the save situations in Queens now that Robertson is gone, although Brooks Raley could see his share of chances based on tonight's usage. Expect Ottavino to work in situations where the upcoming lineup is righty heavy, and Raley when lefties are due up. Based on this, Ottavino should be owned in standard or deeper formats where saves are important.
