Fantasy Impact: Flaherty has yet to make an appearance for St. Louis this season, as he has been on the IL since early April with right shoulder discomfort. Fantasy managers hope for more of the same production that Flaherty provided in 2021 upon his return.

Lance Lynn to make another rehab start
Chicago White Sox SP Lance Lynn will need at least one more rehab start before joining the White Sox. On Friday, he pitched four innings, allowing three runs, four hits, and one walk in Triple-A. (Source: Scot Gregor on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Lynn continues to increase his pitch count as he works his way back from right knee surgery. Once he is ready to return to the majors, he will be a welcome addition back to the White Sox rotation.

Fantasy Impact: Jackie Bradley Jr. has been put on the paternity list so Duran has been called up and will return to the Red Sox after playing a single game for them this year. Duran has been excellent in Triple-A this season, hitting .314 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 11 stolen bases through 37 games. Although he’s likely to be sent back down after Jackie Bradley Jr. returns, fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to stream Duran for his stolen base upside.
