Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Tuesday that Anthony (finger) is "getting closer" to a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Anthony recently graduated from hitting in the cages to hitting off a Trakjet machine. He last appeared in a game May 4, an absence which indicates there could be a longer-than-normal rehab assignment. The report pegs Anthony's return for late August or early September.

Texas manager Skip Schumaker mentioned Quantrill as a potential rotation fill-in for the injured Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), Kenndi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The thrust of Landry's report was about Jordan Montgomery moving into the rotation, but Schumaker made a point to include Quantrill as a candidate. "Obviously [the replacment is] going to be internal, but as far as who that is, we'll see what these next two games look like... If we do end up going with somebody else internally, as far as Cal or Jordan or whatever we do, that's also going to change things as far as bullpen usage." Quantrill has made seven starts (3.34 ERA) for the Rangers this season, most recently throwing six innings against the Giants on Aug. 3.

Montgomery is considered as a possible replacement for Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) in Texas' rotation, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Montgomery was recently activated and pitched four innings (79 pitches) as a reliever Sunday. At the time, manager Skip Schumaker said the left-hander would be used out of the bullpen, but circumstances have changed since. Eovaldi was placed on the injured list Monday, and now Montomery is poised to start. "We have a pretty good idea, but we're going to wait to see what these next couple games look like," Schumaker said. "Obviously it's going to be internal, but as far as who that is, we'll see what these next two games look like." Cal Quantrill is another option to replace Eovaldi.

Adell went 1-for-2 with two walks, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Detroit.

Adell swatted a solo home run in the eighth inning -- his first in a Guardians' uniform -- and then plated another run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The RBI were also the first for Adell since Cleveland acquired him at the trade deadline. He's batting .167 (4-for-24) with 10 strikeouts over seven games for the Guards.

DeLauter went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.

DeLauter's blast tied the game in the top of the third inning, and he remains consistent and productive deep into his rookie season. The homer was the 13th of the season for the outfielder, who has an .800 OPS over a career-high 464 plate appearances. Since the break, he has an .820 OPS with four steals, two homers, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored over 22 games.

De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

De La Cruz was part of a late-game, three-run rally in the eighth inning to tie the game. He had a run-scoring single as part of the rally and then hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th to produce the go-ahead run. It was the third time this month with multiple RBI for De La Cruz, who has knocked in eight over eight August contests.

Sharp signed a two-way contract with the Clippers on Sunday, Lauren Rosen of FanDuel Sports Network SoCal reports.

Sharp spent the 2025-26 campaign in the G League with the Texas Legends, and he finished the season with averages of 7.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 blocks and 1.0 steals in 25.1 minutes per tilt across 39 appearances. He's likely to spend most of his time with the Clippers' G League affiliate, the San Diego Clippers, in 2026-27.

Wallace signed a two-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv, the team announced Sunday.

Wallace will head overseas after spending last year on a standard deal with the Hawks. The 27-year-old guard appeared in 53 regular-season games (three starts) in 2025-26, averaging 3.5 points, 1.8 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per contest.

Penda could need an impressive training camp with the Magic to carve out a larger role in 2026-27.

Orlando kept virtually all of its core from 2025-26 intact, so a similar role could be in store for Penda in 2026-27. After averaging only 12.8 minutes per game last regular season, the 2025 second-rounder has Jamal Cain, Tristan da Silva and Jase Richardson as his primary threats for playing time ahead of camp.

Richardson has some obstacles to climb in order to seize an Opening Night role.

The 2025 first-rounder was not a big part of Orlando's rotation in his rookie season, averaging 10.9 minutes per game over 54 regular-season appearances. With Anthony Black primed to serve as the Magic's sixth man off the bench, Richardson is left to compete with the likes of Jamal Cain, Noah Penda and Jevon Carter for reserve minutes this season.

Fleming will likely have to navigate through a crowded Suns frontcourt for an Opening Night role.

Phoenix is stocked with plenty of options at the forward spots, including new additions Miles Bridges and Koa Peat, who was selected in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft. Jordan Goodwin, Haywood Highsmith and Ryan Dunn are also vying to be part of the squad's rotation, so Fleming has plenty of hurdles to overcome in order to attain fantasy relevance in 2026-27.

Maluach is set to battle with Oso Ighodaro for the top backup role at center behind Mark Williams during training camp.

The 19-year-old big man put forth a dominant Summer League run, averaging 19.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 53.2 percent from the field over four appearances. Ighodaro is the early favorite to handle the No. 2 center minutes behind Williams, though a strong showing at camp could force the Suns to give Maluach more consideration.

Miromanov agreed to terms on a two-year contract with SKA St. Petersburg on Friday, RDS.ca reports.

Miromanov played in just one NHL game last year in which he logged 17:49 of ice time for the Flames. The blueliner last played in the KHL back in 2020-21 when he was with Sochi HC. At this point, it seems unlikely Miromanov will get another shot at the NHL, though it can't be completely ruled out.

Grebenkin signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with the Flyers on Thursday.

Grebenkin recovered from an upper-body injury over the summer, which had kept him out for 23 games (regular season and playoffs) to end 2025-26. He established himself as a regular when healthy, earning 14 points with 32 shots on net, 46 PIM and 86 hits over 55 regular-season outings last year. Grebenkin will be in the mix for bottom-six minutes again in 2026-27.

Fasching signed a one-year contract with SHL Skelleftea on Thursday.

Fasching recorded seven goals and 18 points in 65 regular-season outings with AHL Cleveland in 2025-26. The 31-year-old has accumulated 17 goals and 40 points across 175 career regular-season NHL appearances, but his shift to Europe might be a sign that he's played in his final NHL game.

Koivunen agreed to terms on an eight-year, $32 million contract with Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Considering Koivunen has logged just 47 career games in the NHL, the term on his new deal is somewhat surprising. The 23-year-old winger should be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot heading into the 2026-27 campaign, but he could still end up in the minors at some point, making him a somewhat risky fantasy option.

Miftakhov signed a two-year contract with the KHL's Shanghai Dragons on Wednesday.

Miftakhov had a 3.25 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 28 regular-season outings with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. Although the 26-year-old hasn't played for Shanghai before, he has spent parts of five seasons in the KHL. Most recently, he posted a 2.18 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 30 regular-season appearances with KHL Kazan.

Hunt will hang up his skates and call it a career; he announced Tuesday.

Hunt spent last season with Sport Vaasa overseas, logging 25 points in 53 games for the Swedish club. Over his career, the 37-year-old forward saw action in 288 regular-season games for the Wild, Oilers, Golden Knights, Canucks, Avalanche, Blues and Predators. In those outings, Hunt racked up 26 goals and 60 assists.
