New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Vientos suffered a right hamstring strain during Monday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's unclear how long Vientos will be sidelined, but hamstring issues usually take at least a few weeks. In a corresponding move, infielder […]

Mookie Betts Officially Returning on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (toe) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets.

Jacob Wilson Absent on Tuesday With Neck Injury

Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson (neck) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's not shocking to see Wilson getting a rest day after suffering a neck injury during Monday's contest. It sounds like a minor issue, so for now fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day. Wilson has […]

Luis Robert Jr. Getting Time Off

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. White Sox manager Will Venable said Robert won't start on Tuesday or Wednesday. The team is giving him a few days off to work through some problems. Robert is currently in the middle of […]

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This marks the third time that Vientos has sat out over the last seven games. Vientos has been struggling at the plate lately, so maybe some extra rest will help him get back […]

Colton Cowser Activated on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (thumb) was activated off the 60-day injured list on Monday. Cowser is finally back with the team after missing a majority of the season due to a fractured left thumb.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics. This marks the third time in the last six games that Lewis has been absent from the starting lineup. He's in the middle of an 0-for-30 stretch at the plate, so it's not shocking to see the […]

Spencer Torkelson Sitting Out on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Torkelson will get a rest day here after registering only two hits over his last three games. The right-handed slugger has lost some steam after coming out of the gate hot to begin the […]

New York Mets starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (knee) was activated off the 15-day injured list on Monday.

Mookie Betts Remains Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts (toe) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the New York Mets.

Miami Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards made his first start since returning from the injured list on Sunday. The San Francisco Giants pitchers had no answers for Edwards during this game. Edwards went 5-for-5 at the plate with a double and one RBI in the loss. It's hard to believe that Edwards reached base five times […]

Pete Crow-Armstrong Productive on Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was all over the field during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Crow-Armstrong came into this game in a 2-for-18 slump, but was productive on Sunday. He went 3-for-4 with three singles, one RBI, two stolen bases, and three runs scored in the win. Crow-Armstrong is in the middle of […]

Kyle Tucker Avoids Serious Injury

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (finger) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Luckily, the X-rays were […]

Corbin Burnes Exits Early Due to Arm Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (arm) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals. Oh no, Burnes showed signs of decreased velocity before being taken out during the fifth inning. The expectation is that Burnes will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. It's never […]

Aroldis Chapman Earns Ninth Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was handed the ball with a two-run lead in the ninth inning during Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Braves.

Garrett Crochet Records 12 Strikeouts

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet was tough to hit during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Crochet gave up an early home run to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning.

Kyle Tucker Makes Early Exit on Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (finger) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Tucker was replaced by Vidal Brujan in right field to open the fifth inning. At the time, it was unclear why Tucker was being pulled as he didn't visibly suffer any injuries. It's being reported […]

Shane McClanahan Could Return in Late July

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (triceps) has been slowly ramping up his progress. McClanahan has been unable to take the mound yet this season due to a lingering triceps issue.

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) could be activated off the injured list as early as Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Giancarlo Stanton Unlikely to Return Next Week

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) is making progress, but isn't quite ready to return yet. Stanton reportedly took 6-to-7 at-bats at the team's complex in Tampa Bay this weekend. It's unclear what the next steps are, but it doesn't sound like Stanton is on the verge of returning. Yankees' manager Aaron Boone said […]

J.P. Crawford Collects Three Hits on Saturday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford is putting together a nice series at the plate against the Minnesota Twins.

The left-handed slugger smacked a two-run home run off right-hander Jorge Alcala to give the Mariners the lead. He would […]

Cal Raleigh Hits 22nd Homer

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his power surge at the plate during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Andrew McCutchen Goes Deep in Win

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen was tough to keep off the bases during Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Randal Grichuk Posts Three-Hit Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Randal Grichuk got a rare start against a right-handed starting pitcher on Saturday. This was only the second time that Grichuk was started against a righty pitcher this season. The veteran outfielder didn't seem to have any problems in this one. Grichuk smacked a two-run home run off right-hander Jackson Rutledge in […]

Josh Naylor Extends Hitting Streak

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor continued his hot stretch of play during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Naylor went deep off right-hander Michael Soroka in the fourth inning, but sadly it wasn't enough as the D-Backs took the 11-7 loss. Naylor finished the game 2-for-4 with a double, home run, and two RBI […]
