June 30 Notes
– Dropping off the list: Zach Eflin (245th), Jordan Romano (281st), Bailey Ober (286th), José Soriano (287th), Hayden Birdsong (290th), Mickey Moniak (291st), Luke Weaver (297th), Dane Myers (298th), Drake Baldwin (299th)
– This is one of those weeks that I wish I had an extra 10-12 spots to work with. I didn’t really intend to drop Myers or Baldwin, and I wanted to add the Astros’ Brandon Walter and have Phillies prospect Andrew Painter start working his way up the list in anticipation of a second-half debut. I also nearly included Guardians prospect Chase DeLauter, but he’s just such an injury risk; he’ll warrant adding in mixed leagues if he gets a callup here soon, but he can’t really be counted on to stay healthy.

– There’s no denying that Camilo Doval has been pretty shaky since returning to the closer’s role in late May, and with the Giants being pretty proactive when it comes to changing closers, Randy Rodriguez joins the top 300 this week. Rodriguez has a 0.75 ERA and a crazy 51/7 K/BB in 36 innings. He’s also clearly ahead of Ryan Walker on the depth chart at this point.
– Brandon Woodruff’s cursed rehab time in the minors appears over after he gave up four runs in 3 1/3 innings Sunday. The good news there is that he averaged 93.0 mph with his fastball. That’s down from 95.8 mph when he was last seen in the majors prior to shoulder surgery, but it’s considerably better than the 91.6 mph he averaged in his earlier Triple-A starts. I wouldn’t want him active immediately in mixed leagues, but I’m a little more optimistic now than I was a couple of weeks ago. He checks in at No. 228.
– The A’s promoted Colby Thomas on Monday, but since I’m not sure where they’re going to start him, he didn’t crack the top 300. The 2022 third-round pick was batting .297/.365/.542 for Triple-A Las Vegas and has enough speed and power to be interesting, especially with the way the ballpark is playing in Sacramento this season. But he needs an everyday gig, and I don’t think he’s getting one just yet. Maybe it’ll eventually come at Denzel Clarke’s expense, but Clarke’s defense has been incredible enough to justify the playing time so far.
