1B | Ike Davis | New York Mets | Fantasy
New York Mets 1B Ike Davis is batting .347 with five home runs in 49 at-bats in his last 15 games, and around half of the pitches he's seen in that time have been fastballs after he rarely saw heaters in the season's first two months. Davis has cut down on the amount of times he chases pitches outside the strike zone, too. He is also hitting fewer foul balls, which means his timing is coming along and he's squaring pitches up more often.

1B | Ryan Howard | Philadelphia Phillies | Injury, Fantasy
Philadelphia Phillies 1B Ryan Howard (Achilles') said he may not be 100 percent recovered until next season, and he still needs to rebuild strength in his left leg and make adjustments to his running style.

OF | Luke Scott | Tampa Bay Rays | Injury, Fantasy
Tampa Bay Rays DH Hideki Matsui could see his playing time decrease with the return of OF Luke Scott (back) to the lineup.

OF | Vernon Wells | Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim | Injury, Fantasy
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim OF Vernon Wells (thumb) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment in the middle of July, but when he returns to the team, he might not have much of a role due to the emergence of OFs Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout. OF Peter Bourjos is also on roster. However, Wells has a full no-trade clause and doesn't appear to be willing to waive it to find playing time with another team. "I prefer to stay here," Wells said. "I love being here. The guys are awesome. We have the potential to be really good for a long time." The Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians might go after Wells.

OF | Scott Van Slyke | Los Angeles Dodgers | Transaction, Fantasy

OF | Jose Tabata | Pittsburgh Pirates | Fantasy
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle hinted at sending OF Jose Tabata down to the minors to have him work on some things, much like the team did with OF Alex Presley. "(Tabata) either needs to work through it on the field here, or as we've talked about, the next option is the one we visited with Presley, which is to send him down," Hurdle said. "It can help him.

OF | Bryce Harper | Washington Nationals | Fantasy

Starting Pitcher

SP | Joe Saunders | Arizona Diamondbacks | Injury, Fantasy
Arizona Diamondbacks SP Joe Saunders (shoulder) is due back around the All-Star break. "He's feeling great. I think he must have slept on it wrong or had a little bit of a dead arm," general manager Kevin Towers. "He's responded well. The doctors said his strength tests are all good."

Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Rays SP Jeremy Hellickson (shoulder) will come off the disabled list and start Saturday, June 30.

SP | Chris Tillman | Baltimore Orioles | Fantasy
Baltimore Orioles SP Chris Tillman has been on a tear at Triple-A Norfolk. Over his last three starts, Tillman is 3-0 with a 1.06 ERA, having allowed just two earned runs in his last 17 innings. His strikeout-to-walks ratio is back to where is was in 2010, just above 3.0, and over his last six starts, it is 7.16. There is a chance he could be called back to the rotation.

SP | Mike Pelfrey | New York Mets | Injury, Fantasy,

SP | John Danks | Chicago White Sox | Injury, Fantasy,
Chicago White Sox SP John Danks (shoulder) played catch Thursday, June 28, and has done so three times since Sunday, June 24. Danks said he shoulder feels the same has he did earlier in the week.

SP | Chris Sale | Chicago White Sox | Fantasy,
Chicago White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said he believes SP Chris Sale can handle around 190 innings this season even though he only pitched 71 innings in 2011. "I think he can," Cooper said. "He certainly works hard enough. We've given him, as well as everybody else, the days off, extra days, combined with the schedule, combined with strategically putting in an [SP Dylan Axelrod]. The All-Star break is right around the corner. We've managed him as well as everybody else very well." The team may look to give him an extra day of rest in the second half or take him out an inning early when the team has a big lead.

SP | Brandon McCarthy | Oakland Athletics | Injury, Fantasy,
Oakland Athletics SP Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) said the rehab for his shoulder injury is going well but he does not expect to return to the team until after the All-Star break.

SP | Freddy Garcia | New York Yankees | Fantasy,
New York Yankees SP Freddy Garcia will stay in the starting rotation for a while, according to general manager Brian Cashman. SPs Andy Pettitte (ankle) and CC Sabathia (groin) are both on the disabled list. "I expect Freddy to be the man and kind of bounce back to what we have seen him do for so many years," Cashman said.

SP | Francisco Liriano | Minnesota Twins | Fantasy,
Minnesota Twins SP Francisco Liriano has been much more relaxed since he returned to the starting rotation May 30. Since then, he has a 2.41 ERA and a major league-leading 40 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings. "I don't feel any pressure right now," Liriano said. "Before, starting the season, (I felt pressure) because in spring training, I was pitching so good. So I was thinking too much, trying to do too much. Now I'm just trying to go up there, relax, pitch the ballgame and enjoy myself."

Liriano has been able to get ahead of hitters early in the count with improved fastball command, and he's been able to finish them off with his slider or changeup. He isn't focused as much on striking hitters out, though, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. He's also done a better job of not overthrowing when he gets runners on base.

SP | Derek Holland | Texas Rangers | Injury, Fantasy,
Texas Rangers SP Derek Holland (shoulder) said he has regained eight of the 15 pounds he lost when he was ill.

SP | Martin Perez | Texas Rangers | Fantasy,
The Texas Rangers haven't announced a starter for their game Saturday, June 30, against the Oakland Athletics.

Perez allowed four runs (one earned) in two-thirds of an inning in his debut Wednesday, June 27.

SP | Andy Pettitte | New York Yankees | Injury, Transaction, Fantasy,
The New York Yankees moved SP Andy Pettitte (ankle) to the 60-day disabled list Thursday, June 28, after he fractured his fibula during his outing Wednesday, June 27.

SP | Jorge De La Rosa | Colorado Rockies | Injury, Fantasy,
Colorado Rockies SP Jorge De La Rosa (elbow) is currently receiving platelet-rich plasma injections, and he could need a third injection if it's deemed necessary. He will be shut down completely for two weeks, and he isn't expected to return until September, at the earliest.

SP | A.J. Burnett | Pittsburgh Pirates | Fantasy,
Pittsburgh Pirates SP A.J. Burnett won his eighth straight start by tossing 6 2/3 innings against the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday, June 28. He gave up three runs and six hits while striking out seven to win his ninth game of the year. It's Burnett's longest career winning streak and the first time a Pirates pitcher has won eight straight since Dock Ellis in 1974. Burnett is 6-0 on the road this season.

SP | Dana Eveland | Baltimore Orioles | Fantasy,
Baltimore Orioles SP Dana Eveland is listed as the team's starter for Saturday, June 30.

SP | Jeff Niemann | Tampa Bay Rays | Injury, Fantasy,
Tampa Bay Rays SP Jeff Niemann (leg) is throwing in the outfield without a boot Thursday, June 28.

SP | Ryan Dempster | Chicago Cubs | Fantasy,
The Chicago Cubs are willing to eat part of SP Ryan Dempster's $14 million salary, depending on the quality of prospects that they would receive in exchange. The Cubs are trying to restock their weak farm system. The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the teams very interested in obtaining Dempster. Chicago is also willing to eat some of OF Alfonso Soriano's $45 million contract. SP Matt Garza will be another hot commodity on the trade market, along with 1B Bryan LaHair, OF Reed Johnson, C Geovany Soto and SP Paul Maholm.

SP | Drew Pomeranz | Colorado Rockies | Fantasy,
Colorado Rockies new pitching coach Bob McLaughlin said SP Drew Pomeranz has made noticeable improvement, and he could be recalled in the next few weeks. "It's the quality of pitches he's throwing," McLaughlin said. "The breaking ball is tighter. He's throwing changeups that have good fade to them. He's mixing and matches his pitches. He's using both sides of the plate with his fastball."

SP | Tim Lincecum | San Francisco Giants | Fantasy,
San Francisco Giants SP Tim Lincecum threw 59 percent offspeed pitches in his victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday, June 27, which is the second highest rate in any of his starts this year. The Dodgers only put nine of his breaking pitches in play, six of which were hit on the ground. However, the Dodgers have been slumping and have hit only six home runs this month.

SP | Roy Oswalt | Texas Rangers | Fantasy,
Texas Rangers SP Roy Oswalt, who allowed a career-high 13 hits and five runs in six innings against the Detroit Tigers Wednesday, June 27, was throwing too many pitches in the strike zone and inducing too much contact. At one point he had thrown 26 of 30 pitches for strikes. "I still left too many in the zone," Oswalt said. He was the first pitcher to give up 13 hits and win since Doc Medich in September of 1980.

He is 1-3 with a 5.75 ERA with two blown saves in two chances in May and June.

RP | Brian Fuentes | Oakland Athletics | Fantasy,
The Oakland Athletics are looking to trade RP Brian Fuentes this summer, and the lefty reliever has only pitched twice since June 8. He has a 6.85 ERA in his recent outings. The New York Mets don't appear to be a very good match for Fuentes.

RP | Brad Brach | San Diego Padres | Transaction, Fantasy,

RP | Grant Balfour | Oakland Athletics | Fantasy,
