Justin Verlander Looks Sharp In Return

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander made his return to the mound against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

Jesse Winker Comes Up Clutch

New York Mets outfielder Jesse Winker was called upon to come off the bench in the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 30-year-old delivered for his team as Winker blasted a pinch-hit game-winning solo home run off right-hander Seranthony Dominguez. This blasted marked Winker's 12th homer of the season and his […]

Javier Baez Takes A Seat On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old made his return to Wrigley Field on Tuesday. The fans gave Baez a warm welcome, but that didn't help him as he went hitless with four strikeouts. That performance should shock no one considering […]

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 19.

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey (side) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This news isn't shocking considering Bailey was scratched ahead of Monday's contest due to right side tightness. The organization is considering it a minor injury, so for now fantasy managers can list Bailey […]

Oakland Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is still working his way back from an injury he suffered during his MLB debut. The good news is that Wilson has started playing rehab games at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Clay Holmes Likely To Remain Closer

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes is expected to remain the team's primary closer going forward.

However, Boone did mention that he'd be open to […]

Ha-Seong Kim To Miss Another Game

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) remains absent from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Isaac Paredes Returns To The Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Isaac Paredes (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

The list is long for possible closing […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Heads To Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. It sounds like Hayes has been dealing with a lingering back issues all season long. That could explain his regression on both offense and defensively this season. Hayes will attempt to return this season, but surgery hasn't been […]

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday.

Bowden Francis Excellent On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Bowden Francis had seemingly no issues on the mound during Sunday's outing against the Chicago Cubs.

The Rams are downplaying the severity of the issue but will likely re-evaluate his status on Monday. The 36-year-old […]

James Washington Released By Falcons

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver James Washington has been released by the organization on Sunday. It looks like Washington was the odd man out as the Falcons needed to cut someone to add safety Justin Simmons to the roster. At this point, Washington is nothing more than depth on any NFL roster. His best season came […]

Nolan Jones Activated Off Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (back) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Jones appears to be ready to play again after missing a month of action due to a lower back strain.

Max Muncy Expected To Be Activated On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated off the injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Royce Lewis Sitting Out On Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is taking a seat ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. This appears to be a routine rest day for Lewis so fantasy managers don't need to be concerned about an injury. Lewis has collected three hits in this series, so him sitting out isn't due to poor performance. […]
