Justin Verlander To Make Rehab Start This Weekend

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab start over the weekend. It doesn't sound like the organization has decided on which day Verlander will start. He threw 65 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Sugarland on Sunday. It wasn't great results for the veteran right-hander but the main […]

Jose Soriano Named Starter For Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano has been named the starter for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The organization has decided to stretch him out as a starter likely due to the fact they've had multiple injuries in their rotation. Soriano is expected to throw around 60 pitches during Wednesday's outing. That […]

Ty France Activated, Starting On Monday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France has been activated from the paternity leave list on Monday. France missed three games while his wife gave birth. However, he's back at first base and batting seventh versus right-hander Jose Berrios on Monday. France is batting .320 with an RBI in seven games this season. Fantasy managers can […]

Jameson Taillon To Make Rehab Start In Triple-A

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (shoulder) is set to make his next rehab start with Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander made a rehab start with Double-A Tennessee on Sunday. The team hasn't scheduled the next start, but Taillon will make the jump to the Triple-A roster. If all goes well, Taillon could rejoin the Cubs […]

Bobby Dalbec Optioned To Minors

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday. The former top prospect has struggled during his time with the big league club. So far this season, Dalbec was limited to nine at-bats in which he struck out during six of those. Possibly, Dalbec returns to the MLB if […]

Michael Conforto Not Starting On Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. There is no injury being reported so it's assumed that his absence is a routine rest day. It's a bit odd with a right-hander on the mound, but the expectation is he'll be back […]

Michael Lorenzen Will Make Additional Rehab Start

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen appears to be nearly ready to join the big league rotation. The right-hander said he was ready to go following his latest rehab start. However, the organization will have Lorenzen pitch one more time to get his pitch count up to 90. That means, Cody Bradford should make at […]

Jackson Merrill Collects Four Hits

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill put together a solid day at the plate during Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The young slugger went 4-for-4 at the plate during Sunday's loss. All of the hits were singles, but Merrill is not known as a power hitter. He makes hard contact but isn't a […]

Camilo Doval Locks Down First Save

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval has experienced a rough start to the season with two runs allowed in 2 2/3 innings coming into Sunday's game. However, the right-hander was able to hold his own versus the San Diego Padres. Doval struck out the side while working around a two-out single by Jackson Merrill. […]

Tanner Houck Tosses Six Shutout Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck is off to a hot start to the 2024 campaign. On Sunday, Houck threw six shutout innings while striking out seven batters in the win over the Los Angeles Angels. That marks the second straight in a row that Houck has thrown six shutout innings. He has now […]

Ryan Pepiot Looks Excellent On Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot was nearly unhittable during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander threw six shutout innings while striking out 11 batters in the victory. Pepiot allowed only three hits during this outing while walking zero batters. Pepiot was lit up during his last start but turned the page […]

Tejay Antone To Undergo MRI

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (elbow) was pulled early during Sunday's appearance against the New York Mets. The 30-year-old was only able to throw one pitch before exiting the game due to elbow discomfort. Following the game, Reds' manager David Bell said Antone will undergo an MRI on Monday. This is a tough blow […]

Adbert Alzolay Notches First Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Adbert Alzolay was handed the ball with a two-run lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The right-hander gave up two singles to begin the inning. Luckily for fantasy managers, Alzolay was able to retire the next three batters and record his first save of the season. He's allowed one […]

Jose Abreu Falls In Batting Order

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu has been dropped down in the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 37-year-old is regressing rapidly as he is having a horrible start to the season. So far, Abreu is slashing .105/.190/.105 with zero RBI and a 6/1 K/BB ratio in 21 plate appearances. On […]

Justin Foscue Remains On The Bench

Texas Rangers third baseman Justin Foscue remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. The team recalled Foscue after Josh Jung (wrist) landed on the injured list on Tuesday. Since then, Foscue has been on the bench for the first three games. It seems odd that the Rangers would […]

Geraldo Perdomo Likely To Undergo MRI

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo (knee) could be looking at missing additional time after suffering an injury during Wednesday's game. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Perdomo is likely to undergo an MRI on his injured knee after experiencing additional discomfort on Friday. The hope was that this was a day-to-day issue, but it could […]

Nathaniel Lowe Takes Batting Practice

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) was able to take batting practice on Friday without any issues. Lowe continues to make progress on his right oblique strain that has sidelined him since the beginning of the season. The Rangers haven't given a timetable for his return to the field yet. The assumption is that […]

Connor Wong Absent On Friday

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old was expected to be the starting catcher to begin the season. However, Wong has only started three of the team's first eight games of the season. Instead of Wong, the Red Sox […]

Luis Rengifo Heads Back To The Bench

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is back on the bench ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The 27-year-old has started only two of the first seven games for the Halos this season. It's obvious that manager Ron Washington doesn't consider Rengifo an everyday player right now. It'll likely take an injury […]

Jusuf Nurkic Uncertain For Friday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man is back on the injury report due to left calf soreness. If he sits, Drew Eubanks is expected to move into the starting five during Friday's game. He'd be worth looking at as a […]

Walker Kessler Unavailable On Friday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (nose) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man will miss this game after suffering a fractured nose during Tuesday's contest. He'll be joined by fellow forward John Collins (back) who continues to sit due to a lingering injury. Omer Yurtseven is […]

RJ Barrett Expected To Play On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (rest) is expected to return to the court ahead of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Barrett and forward Kelly Olynyk (rest) both sat out of Wednesday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as it appeared to be a routine rest day. The return of these players should […]

Keldon Johnson Holds Questionable Tag For Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson has missed each of the last two games due to a left foot sprain. However, it appears Johnson has a chance of suiting up on Friday. If he plays, Johnson could move into the […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Ruled Out Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This seems odd considering Jackson has been playing in basically every game since the middle of March. Possibly, the Grizzlies feel that it's time to give Jackson a rest day. Regardless, the absence of Jackson will […]

Mike Conley Removed From Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran guard was held out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes. However, Conley will return on Friday and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. The Wolves are likely just […]

Gary Payton II Available On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Payton will play after being listed as probable coming into this game. Payton should resume his normal role off the bench for Golden State. He normally plays minutes in the teens and doesn't offer enough […]

Josh Hart Cleared To Play On Thursday

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (wrist) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Hart is ready to go after being listed as questionable coming into this game. He should resume his role in the starting five, but might not shoot as much due to the wrist issue. Hart […]

Mitchell Robinson Upgraded To Available

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Robinson has been cleared to play after being listed as questionable coming into this game. The assumption is that Robinson will continue coming off the bench as the Knicks are trying to manage his workload. […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Cunningham was a late scratch on Wednesday and will sit out Friday's game as well. The expectation is that Malachi Flynn will start again with Cunningham on the bench. He dropped 50 points during his last game. […]

Michael Busch Takes A Seat Versus Southpaw

Chicago Cubs infielder Michael Busch is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This marks the first time this season that Busch will take a seat. This makes sense to give Busch some rest against a left-handed starting pitcher. In his place, Garrett Cooper will cover first base and […]
