Huff went unclaimed on waivers after being jettisoned from San Francisco’s active roster earlier this week. The 27-year-old former prospect hit just .208 (11-for-53) with two homers and four RBI over 20 games with the Giants. He also struck out 25 times in 58 plate appearances during that span. He’ll remain with the club as organizational catching depth.

Lowe and Aranda head to the bench with tough lefty Ryan Weathers taking the ball on Saturday afternoon for Miami. The Rays will roll out their assortment of lefty-mashing platoon options, including José Caballaro in right field and Curtis Mead in right field and at first base, respectively. It’s worth noting that Mead is on a hot streak of late, hitting .300 (6-for-20) with two homers and one steal over his last seven games.

Smith will sit out his second straight game as he continues to battle an illness that led to him being a late scratch from Friday’s lineup. The 22-year-old top prospect has endured an up-and-down rookie campaign, which isn’t uncommon as young player acclimates to everyday life in the big leagues. It’ll be versatile veteran Mauricio Dubón taking over in right field on Saturday afternoon at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The deal includes $10 million in guaranteed money and $5.85 million in playtime and team performance incentives, bringing the total maximum value to $19.5 million. It was previously reported that Rodgers would play for around $10 million in 2025, with his new deal in Pittsburgh bringing that much in guarantees. The veteran quarterback would have made $37.5 million playing with the Jets in 2025 but the team has since moved on in favor of a cheaper contract with Justin Fields. From a fantasy perspective, Rodgers should not be expected to throw more than 30-33 times per game behind the stalwart Pittsburgh defense, leaving him better left to two-quarterback and deeper leagues.

Stowers is dealing with a lingering hand issue, which has kept him on the bench since Tuesday’s contest against the Rockies. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but it’s a situation fantasy managers should continue monitoring. It’ll be Jesús Sánchez moving over to cover left field with Eric Wagaman in the opposite corner on Saturday afternoon at Steinbrenner Field.

Stott gets a rare day off with lefty Bailey Falter drawing the starting assignment on Saturday afternoon at PNC Park. It’ll be Trea Turner moving up to the leadoff spot in his absence. The 27-year-old second baseman has been scuffling in recent weeks, batting .198 (23-for-116) with two homers, 11 RBI and four steals over his last 30 games. Veteran lefty-masher Edmundo Sosa is getting a turn at the keystone in his place.
