David Peralta Avoids Serious Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta (elbow) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. The left-handed slugger was removed from the game after getting hit by a pitch in the second inning. He underwent X-rays that came back negative, so fantasy managers should consider Peralta as day-to-day right now. Fantasy […]

Ranger Suarez Strikes Out 10 In No-Decision

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez was dominant throughout most of his start versus the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The left-hander allowed three runs on two hits over 6.1 innings of work here. Suarez allowed three walks, but also struck out a season-high 10 batters during this game. He was cruising until the seventh inning […]

Tylor Megill Throws Five Scoreless Innings

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill looked good during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander allowed two hits and four walks over five shutout innings during Sunday's victory. Megill struggled with his command, but was able to get through the threats without any damage. Megill has now allowed three or fewer runs […]

Sawyer Gipson-Long Looks Good In Debut

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Sawyer Gipson-Long took the mound for his big league debut against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. The right-hander was sharp, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings of work. He was also able to strike out five batters without allowing a walk. Gipson-Long was struggling with a 5.45 […]

Alec Pierce Has Low-End Flex Value

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is coming off a fairly decent rookie campaign. The 23-year-old finished with 41 receptions for 593 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (12 starts) with the Colts last season. That's a decent performance considering the below average options the Colts were using at quarterback. The hope is that […]

Josh Downs A Risky Choice For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has done enough to earn himself a starting spot ahead of the Week1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie wideout has looked good in camp and will open the season as the starting slot receiver. The Colts have high hopes for Downs after selecting him in the third-round […]

Michael Pittman Jr. A Low-End WR2 For Opener

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is the unquestioned No. 1 option for this team heading into the season opener. Pittman has 270 targets over the last two seasons, so there's no question he'll get the ball thrown his way. It's more about the quality of the pass than the quantity here. Rookie quarterback […]

Jamison Crowder Elevated To Active Roster

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been elevated to the active roster on Saturday. The veteran wideout signed with the Commanders practice squad earlier this week. He last played with the Buffalo Bills in 2022, but only played four games with the team. Despite that, Crowder has a solid track record and is worth […]

Myles Gaskin Returns To Vikings

As expected, running back Myles Gaskin will rejoin the Minnesota Vikings after being released by the team on Friday. It was expected all along that the Vikings would bring back Gaskin as they released him originally for salary reasons. The 26-year-old will return to the team and be elevated to the active roster ahead of […]

Brenton Doyle Resting On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, so his absence is likely for rest purposes. Doyle has struggled this season, but has actually been hitting better lately. He is 5-for-20 with four RBI […]

Mickey Moniak To Miss Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This is the third straight game that Moniak has missed due to back tightness. For now, Moniak is considered as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. In […]

Shohei Ohtani Continues To Sit Out

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, oblique) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This marks the sixth game in a row that Ohtani has missed due to inflammation in his right oblique. The right-hander is also dealing with a UCL tear in his elbow that will […]

Brendan Rodgers Sitting Out On Saturday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers is out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers missed some action recently due to an illness, but this absence appears to be rest related. The 27-year-old will get a breather after going 5-for-20 over his last five games. Harold Castro will cover second base and bat […]

Luis Rengifo Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (biceps) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old will see his season come to an end due to a ruptured biceps tendon. This is bad timing considering Rengifo was red-hot at the plate. He was slashing .443/.471/.770 with five home runs over his last […]

Isaac Paredes Pulled From Saturday's Game

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (hand) has been removed early from Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 24-year-old was taken out of the contest after getting hit in the hand by a pitch in the fifth inning. Paredes has experienced some tough luck this season as he has been hit a league-leading 20 […]

Austin Meadows Shut Down For The Season

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows will be shut down for the rest of the 2023 season, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 28-year-old has been away from the team since early April due to mental health reasons. He continues to undergo treatment for his anxiety near his home in Florida. The Tigers aren't in the […]

Ketel Marte Removed Early On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 29-year-old fouled a ball off his knee during the opening frame. He remained in the contest, but was ultimately lifted in the seventh inning due to an apparent knee issue. The expectation is that Marte will undergo […]

Tyler O'Neill To The Bench On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It doesn't appear that O'Neill is dealing with an injury, so this is probably just a routine rest day. O'Neill is 8-for-21 at the plate with two home runs and five RBI since the beginning of […]

Javier Baez To Sit Out On Saturday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the Chicago White Sox. The 30-year-old has seen quite a lot of the bench lately, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Baez is slashing .221/.267/.319 with eight home runs and 54 RBI in 123 games this season. The Tigers aren't in […]

Evan Carter Heads To The Bench

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 21-year-old top prospect made his MLB debut during Friday's game. Carter went 1-for-3 with a stolen base during his first big league contest. The assumption is that he'll play regularly, so it's a bit odd to […]

Austin Riley Returning On Saturday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 26-year-old is back in the lineup after missing each of the last two games due to a stomach bug. This season, Riley is slashing .274/.334/.509 with 34 home runs and 85 RBI in 138 […]

Marlon Humphrey Ruled Out For Week 1

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey (foot) has been ruled out for the Week 1 matchup against the Houston Texans. This doesn't come as a surprise after Humphrey has missed practice all week. He underwent surgery on his foot in mid-August, so his absence was expected. The organization is hopeful that Humphrey will return for […]

Dare Ogunbowale Questionable For Season Opener

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale (hamstring) is considered questionable for the Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran back has been limited all week in practice due to a lingering hamstring issue. That being said, he could possibly be on the sideline for this game, assuming he's not better by Sunday. His […]

Myles Gaskin Expected To Remain With Vikings

Minnesota Vikings running back Myles Gaskin has been released by the organization on Friday. However, the 26-year-old is expected to rejoin the team as part of the squad practice. After that, Gaskin is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]

Jaleel McLaughlin To Have Significant Role

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin is expected to get significant carries in Week 1, according to Andrew Mase. It appears the Broncos are going to use a three-back committee to open the season. Javonte Williams is the favorite to be the lead back, but is expected to be eased back into action after coming […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Won't Be Limited In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (wrist) has practiced in full this week and wasn't listed on the final injury report heading into Week 1. The rookie wideout is less than a month removed from wrist surgery. Despite that, Smith-Njigba isn't going to have any limitations heading into the Week 1 matchup against the Los […]

Mickey Moniak To Miss Another Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Moniak was scratched ahead of Thursday's contest due to back tightness. It appears he's still dealing with the issue, so he'll miss at least one more game. The fact he hasn't been placed on the […]

Ryan Jeffers To Sit Out On Friday

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. This doesn't appear to be injury related at all, so probably just a routine rest day for Jeffers. The 26-year-old saw his three-game hitting streak come to an end on Thursday. In his absence, Christian […]

Josh Jung Takes Swings On Friday

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) was able to take 25 swings without any issues on Friday. The 25-year-old was swinging off a tee without any problems which is great news for his recovery process. Jung has been out since early August due to a fractured left thumb. Before going down, Jung was slashing […]

Austin Riley Remains Out On Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This marks the second game in a row that Riley has missed due to a stomach bug. It's worth noting that Braves' manager Brian Snitker said Riley would be available off the bench on Friday. […]
