The deal is worth “up to” $6 million. Going on 33, Lockett is no longer a needle-mover following several seasons of decline in Seattle, but he does help deepen one of the league’s worst receiver corps ahead of Thursday’s expected addition of new franchise quarterback Cam Ward. Held under 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons, Lockett should not expect his WR3 fortunes to revive under the rookie quarterback. This is a classic move that could be more impactful in real life than fantasy. A leader with a decade of experience, Lockett will supply a sounding board and sure pair of hands in Nashville.

Rushing will be on the bench to open Wednesday’s contest with Will Smith handling the catching duties for Los Angeles. The 24-year-old top prospect was officially called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City after posting a .938 OPS with five homers in 31 games this season. He’ll make an impact for fantasy purposes at a relatively shallow position group if he can carve out a semi-regular role in the Dodgers’ loaded lineup.

Cruz remains out of the lineup for the fourth consecutive game due to lower back tightness. There’s been zero indication that he’s headed to the injured list, but it seems like a realistic outcome at this juncture. The 26-year-old fantasy star has eight homers and 16 steals this season through 37 games. It’ll be Ji Hwan Bae in center field on Wednesday night at Citi Field.

Rosario will head to Triple-A Nashville as extra organizational depth for the Brewers. The 33-year-old journeyman outfielder has gotten into five games this season between Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Criswell provides Boston with some extra long relief depth for the next few days and figures to factor into their pitching plans this weekend against Atlanta to fill Tanner Houck’s vacant rotation spot. The 28-year-old righty has been hit hard in three relief appearances this season at the highest level.

The fantasy ramifications are pretty straightforward. Rookie sensation Hunter Dobbins will keep his spot in Boston’s rotation with Walker Buehler (shoulder) coming off the injured list next week to take Houck’s vacant spot. It’ll likely be a bullpen game or spot starter taking the ball on Sunday against Atlanta. The 28-year-old righty will get some time away from the spotlight to attempt to put things back together from a mental and physical standpoint after struggling to a calamitous 8.04 ERA through nine starts to open the season.

Hauser missed Games 2-4 after injuring his ankle in Game 1 of this series. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) done for the year, Hauser could be relied on to play extended minutes as Boston looks to keep its season alive.
