The Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros lead in All-Star selections with multiple players, including Zach McKinstry and Isaac Paredes, who were named as replacements due to injuries and other reasons, highlighting the ongoing excitement and adjustments in the MLB All-Star roster.
Zach McKinstry's errors and pitching performance contributed to the Detroit Tigers' 11-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins in a lengthy 12th inning, where the Twins scored eight runs, the most in franchise history since 1970. Despite a strong outing from Tigers starter Kenta Maeda and a two-game winning streak, Detroit reliever Alex Lange took the loss after loading the bases before McKinstry's error.

This week's fantasy baseball waiver wire targets include Christian Bethancourt, Zach McKinstry, Ronny Mauricio, Michael Conforto, and Bobby Miller. Bethancourt is a good matchup play against lefties, McKinstry has been a surprise for the Tigers with a new approach at the plate, Mauricio has been crushing pitchers in AAA and could make an immediate impact if called up, Conforto is surging and should be added where available, and Miller looked great in his debut for the Dodgers and is worth consideration in all formats. Gallegos seems to have taken over as the closer for the Cardinals and needs to be added and considered the primary closer for fantasy purposes.

The Chicago Cubs have traded Zach McKinstry to the Detroit Tigers for minor league pitcher Carlos Guzman. McKinstry, who was acquired from the Dodgers last year, struggled to find success in Chicago and was unlikely to make the Opening Day roster.

The Detroit Tigers have acquired infielder Zach McKinstry from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for minor-league pitcher Carlos Guzman. McKinstry, who will be on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, has played all over the diamond and should see at-bats against right-handed pitchers, perhaps in a semi-platoon with second baseman Jonathan Schoop. The Tigers apparently preferred McKinstry to in-house options like Zack Short and veteran Cesar Hernandez.
The Chicago Cubs have traded infielder Zach McKinstry to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for pitcher Carlos Guzman.

The Cubs will likely start the season with a platoon situation at third base, with Ríos, Wisdom, and Madrigal all taking time there. Guzman spent last season with the Tigers’ Single-A affiliate in West Michigan and their Double-A affiliate in Erie.
