RANGER SUAREZ

(Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)With less than a week until the MLB Trade Deadline, fantasy rosters are about to experience some major changes. Here are some names who could get you through the weekend in style, with a few potential long-term options mixed in. The slugger doesn’t ruin a fantasy squad’s batting average, and his 17 homers and 52 RBIs would make him an asset on most squads. Those with some bench room could stash the 28-year-old now in hopes of getting ahead of a waiver wire rush for his services in a few days. With a 1.50 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP and 55 strikeouts, the rookie righty has been good enough to help fantasy teams even if stuck in a setup role.

American League powerhouses square off when Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees host Yordan Álvarez and the Houston Astros in the opener of a highly anticipated four-game series Thursday night.

Christian Walker had three hits and three RBIs, Jake McCarthy homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Phillies 13-1 to end Philadelphia’s nine-game winning streak and give interim manager Rob Thomson his first loss.

Ozzie Albies and the Atlanta Braves have won 10 straight going into their home game Sunday against Pittsburgh while rookie Bryson Stott and the Phillies have a nine-game winning streak as they host Arizona.

Zack Wheeler struck out eight over six sharp innings, Bryson Stott hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies won their ninth straight game with a 4-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Bryson Stott hit a game-winning, three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning after Bryce Harper tied it with a grand slam in the eighth, and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied for a 9-7 victory that sent slumping Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels to their 11th straight defeat.

Yu Darvish struck out five and walked none over seven shutout innings to lead the San Diego Padres to a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Pete Alonso homered twice, had three hits and drove in five runs to lead the New York Mets to a 6-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and a doubleheader split.

Billy McKinney homered and Daulton Jefferies and four relievers combined on a three-hitter to lead the Oakland Athletics past the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1.

Joe Girardi isn’t concerned about managing the Philadelphia Phillies without a contract extension.

The Atlanta Braves have captured their fourth straight NL East championship.

The surging Cardinals will try for a franchise-record 15th consecutive win in a game at Wrigley Field.
