Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon has been named as the starter ahead of Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander will be called up after striking out 11 batters over 9 2/3 innings in Triple-A Charlotte this season. He clearly has swing-and-miss stuff, but we'll see how it translates at the […]

Jhoan Duran To Throw On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) is set to throw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined since being forced to exit early on Friday due to back discomfort.

Brendan Rodgers Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an illness. For now, fantasy managers should consider Rodgers to be day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action. In the meantime, Alan […]

Seiya Suzuki Placed On Injured List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. This is a tough blow to both fantasy managers and the Cubs roster. Suzuki was hitting .305 with an .893 OPS along with three homers and 13 RBI over the first 15 games of the season. Barring any setbacks, […]

Gerrit Cole Expected To Throw On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) didn't throw at all on Monday, according to manager Aaron Boone. The right-hander continues to slowly work his way back up from an elbow injury that has sidelined him since the beginning of the season. It sounds like the plan is to have Cole rest on Monday […]

Dominic Canzone Expected To Miss Time

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (shoulder) is expected to be out awhile, according to manager Scott Servais. The 26-year-old suffered a left AC joint sprain while crashing into the wall during Sunday's game.

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (illness) is unlikely to play during Monday's game, according to manager Dave Martinez. Ruiz has missed each of the last five games due to an illness.

J.D. Davis Pulled Early On Sunday

Oakland Athletics third baseman J.D. Davis (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Davis was replaced after a few at-bats due to a right groin strain.

Michael Lorenzen To Make Season Debut On Monday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen (neck) is scheduled to make his season debut against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. The right-hander is set to take the mound after dealing with a neck injury to begin the season. The expectation is that Lorenzen fills the void in the rotation left by Cody Bradford (back) who […]

Chas McCormick Returns On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. He'll return his return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to a hamstring issue. McCormick will cover center field and bat fifth versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get […]

Alex Bregman Remains Out On Sunday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The stud corner infielder will now miss his third game in a row due to a lingering illness. It's unlikely that the Astros need to place Bregman on the injured list, but fantasy managers […]

Marco Gonzales Lands On Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The left-hander appears to have picked up the injury during Saturday's outing against the Philadelphia Phillies. Gonzales looked strong throwing six innings and allowing only two runs. Sadly, it appears the Pirates are going to be without Gonzales […]

Cody Bradford Placed On Injured List

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cody Bradford (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. It appears the left-hander picked up a lower back injury at some point during Wednesday's start. This is a shame considering Bradford has pitched well to start the season. Now, the young southpaw is looking at missing at […]

Jackson Chourio Taking A Seat On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Christian Yelich Remains Out On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran outfielder continues to deal with back discomfort and will be held out of at least one more game. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Yelich as day-to-day. However, Yelich could end up […]

Joc Pederson Sitting Versus Southpaw

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Pederson against a left-handed starting pitcher. The D-Backs will play matchups here and go with Blaze Alexander at designated hitter versus Steven Matz. There's not […]

Keibert Ruiz Remains Out On Friday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Ruiz is set to miss his third game in a row due to an illness. The good news is that this shouldn't be something that lands Ruiz on the injured list. In the meantime, Riley […]

Justin Verlander To Make Rehab Start On Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next minor league rehab start on Saturday at Double-A Corpus Christi. The 41-year-old appears to be progressing well and could return after this outing. Obviously, the Astros don't want to rush back Verlander, but they need help in the rotation. Fantasy managers will […]

Luis Robert Jr. Could Only Miss Six Weeks

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) is trending towards a six-week absence, according to general manager Chris Getz. The organization recently gave a timetable of 6-8 weeks for Robert who is recovering from a hip injury. It's encouraging to hear that Robert might only miss six weeks of action. Barring any setbacks, Robert […]

Eloy Jimenez To Ramp Up Activities

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) will reportedly ramp up his running this week, according to general manager Chris Getz. The oft-injured outfielder has been sidelined since early April due to a groin issue. It's nice to hear that Jimenez is ramping up his activities, but it doesn't sound like he's ready to play […]

Alek Thomas Progressing Well

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas (hamstring) recently told reporters that he is progressing well from his injury. The 23-year-old was placed on the injured list roughly two weeks ago due to a hamstring injury. Thomas has been taking at-bats in extended spring training and it appears to be going well. The D-Backs haven't given a […]

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Rockies' manager Bud Black said Blackmon is feeling under the weather, so they will hold him out of this contest. The expectation is that this will be a one-game absence for the veteran outfielder. […]

Jhoan Duran Feels Good During Bullpen Session

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) reportedly felt good during his bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander continues working his way back from an oblique injury that has sidelined him since the end of spring training. It sounds like the plan is for Duran to throw again on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is likely still […]

Collin Sexton Tagged As Doubtful For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (illness) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It looks like Sexton is set to miss another game after sitting out of Thursday's game due to an illness. His absence has resulted in Talen-Horton Tucker moving into the starting five. He has played fairly […]

Jonathan Kuminga Listed As Questionable For Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kuminga played well, dropping 19 points with six rebounds during Thursday's game. However, it appears he picked up a pelvis contusion during the process. It's worth noting that Kuminga was filling in for Draymond Green […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Will Play On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will officially suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will make his first appearance on the court since suffering a left meniscus injury in early March. Fantasy managers should not expect Towns to have a full workload on Friday. It's his first game […]
