Stubbs, 30, will be assigned to Triple-A Round Rock. He’ll likely have to wait until the MLB rosters expand to 40 players on Sept. 1.

Unsurprisingly, Joey Gallo was sent back down to Triple-A when Josh Hamilton was activated from the DL. Gallo performed as expected at the majors: flashed tremendous power and demonstrated that he isn’t ready to face Major League pitching on a regular basis. Gallo hit five home runs in 25 games, but he hit .218 and struck out 43.9% of the time. Gallo will be back in the Majors in 2015, whether it be as a result of injury or September call ups. But until he can prove that he won’t strike out [...]Keep on reading: Minor Leagues Spotlight: Top MLB Prospects for Fantasy from Week 12

It's been an injury-filled season for Josh Hamilton, but he is expected to be activated off the DL on Tuesday after losing a month to a hamstring injury. According to the Dallas Morning News, the Rangers are even considering playing Hamilton in center field upon his return to the lineup.

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy player. They're the little “what if” clause hanging over every fantasy season, that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to properly deal with injuries is one of the main separators between casual fantasy players and league champions. Given the importance of this aspect of the game, I'll be devoting[...]Keep on reading: MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Doolittle, Vogt, Puig, Soler, Beltre, More…
