Zach Neto Scratched On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears the 22-year-old is dealing with back tightness. Halos manager Phil Nevin said the team is hopeful it's just a minor issue and Neto only misses one game because of it. In […]

Joey Wiemer Sitting Out On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer is not in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This was expected after the Brewers decided to recall outfielder Sal Frelick on Saturday. Frelick will probably cut into Wiemer's playing time going forward. Wiemer is a solid defender, but his .207/.292/.386 slash line isn't strong […]

Joey Gallo, Willi Castro Remain Out On Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielders Joey Gallo (eye) and Willi Castro (eye) will both be held out of Saturday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox. The two sluggers missed Friday's contest and will sit again due to pink eye. The assumption is that neither player will need a trip to the injured list and should return […]

Andrew Vaughn To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder/first baseman Andrew Vaughn (foot) will be sidelined for the fourth straight game on Saturday. He fouled a ball off his foot on Tuesday and hasn't been able to play since then. The X-rays came back negative, so hopefully Vaughn won't require a trip to the injured list. Yasmani Grandal will cover […]

Hyun Jin Ryu To Rejoin Team On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu (elbow) is set to rejoin the team on Monday. Ryu made his final rehab appearance on Friday with Triple-A Buffalo. The 36-year-old hasn't pitched this season as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. The assumption is that Ryu is going to rejoin […]

Luis Guillorme Placed On Injured List

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme (calf, ankle) has been placed on the injured list following an injury he suffered during Saturday's game. The 28-year-old appeared to hurt his calf or ankle while trying to field a grounder that hit off his body. The Mets haven't officially announced who they will recall in a corresponding […]

Alex Faedo Recalled, Starting Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Faedo has been recalled to take the mound against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. It doesn't sound like the Tigers plan to move anyone out of their rotation. This move is probably just to give the rest of starters an extra day to rest. Faedo holds a 6.98 ERA, […]

Corey Seager Officially Placed On Injured List

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (thumb) has been officially placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. As expected, Seager will miss some time after jamming his thumb while sliding into second base during Friday's game. Luckily, the MRI came back clean, so his IL stint shouldn't be too long. Ezequiel Duran should serve as […]

Noah Syndergaard To Make Rehab Start On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (blister) is scheduled to make another rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. The right-hander has been sidelined since early June due to a blister on his index finger. He was able to throw 52 pitches during his last rehab start. The assumption is that he'll get […]

Michael Fulmer Named Opener For Saturday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Michael Fulmer will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-hander threw 15 pitches during their victory over the Cards on Friday. That being said, Fulmer will likely only be able to pitch the first inning of Saturday's game. The 30-year-old right-hander holds a 4.43 […]

Johnny Cueto To Start On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Johnny Cueto will make his return to the starting rotation for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 37-year-old only made one start before going down in April due to a biceps issue. He recently returned from the injured list, but the Marlins put him in the bullpen. He fired three […]

Evan Longoria Sitting Out On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears the veteran slugger will get a routine rest day here. He could use it considering he's 2-for-19 since the beginning of July. In his absence, Emmanuel Rivera will cover third base and bat seventh […]

Brandon Drury Goes Through Full Workout

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) was able to get through a full workout on Friday. That is good news after Drury went down in the beginning of July due to left shoulder inflammation. The Angels haven't given a timetable for his return, so fantasy managers should stay tuned for an update. The expectation […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Returning On Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) is returning to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. He was pulled out of Tuesday's game due to hamstring cramps. He sat out the next two games as a precaution, but appears to be fine now. The 29-year-old will bat leadoff and […]

Willi Castro Scratched On Friday

Minnesota Twins infielder Willi Castro (eye) has been scratched ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old was pulled out of the lineup due to conjunctivitis. Luckily, it seems like a minor issue, so it should only hold him out for a few days. In the meantime, Donovan Solano will cover third […]

Mike Trout Has Stitches Removed

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) had his stitches removed from his surgically-repaired left hand. The 31-year-old superstar told reporters on Friday he still has to allow the incision to fully heal before he can begin swinging the bat again. It sounds like Trout is feeling good at the moment, but he still has […]

Rashod Bateman Placed On Did Not Report List

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been placed on the did not report list ahead of camp. The 23-year-old recently received a cortisone shot roughly a month ago, but it's uncertain what specific area they gave the shot. As of now, it doesn't sound like Bateman is dealing with an injury. General Manager Eric […]

J.K. Dobbins Heads To PUP List

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday. The Ravens placed five players on the unable to perform list, but Dobbins was the biggest name of the five. It's not exactly certain why Dobbins was placed on the list ahead of camp. It's assumed […]

Kyle Van Noy Visiting With Ravens

Free-agent linebacker Kyle Van Noy is expected to visit with the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran linebacker has bounced around over the last few seasons. Despite that, Van Noy has put together respectable numbers basically wherever he goes. Last season, he recorded 46 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and five sacks in 17 games (13 starts) […]

Nick Vigil, Sam Eguavoen Work Out For Giants

Free-agent linebackers Nick Vigil and Sam Eguavoen have gone through workouts with the New York Giants. The team already has Bobby Okereke locked into a starting role, but they have a hole next to him. That being said, the Giants decided to add some veterans to help boost their depth at the position. Vigil only […]

Cole Beasley Joins Giants

The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Cole Beasley to a one-year deal. The veteran wideout said he would retire if he didn't find a new team by training camp. It appears the 34-year-old will hang around for at least one more season. On paper, this doesn't seem like the best fit for Beasley. […]

James Robinson Signs With Giants

The New York Giants have signed running back James Robinson to a one-year deal. Robinson was recently cut by the New England Patriots because of injury issues stemming from his torn Achilles' tendon in 2022. The signing of Robinson seems like a depth move ahead of the inevitable Saquon Barkley holdout. The two sides were […]

Justin Turner Shifts To Second Base

Boston Red Sox infielder Justin Turner normally serves as the designated hitter, but will actually get to play the field on Friday. The 38-year-old will cover second base for the seventh time this season. He's also started at third base seven starts this season, but usually serves as the DH. The fact he's moving around […]

Dominic Smith To Sit Out On Friday

Washington Nationals first baseman Dominic Smith is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The left-handed slugger will sit this one out against left-hander Alex Wood. The Nationals will play matchups and have right-handed Michael Chavis cover first base and bat seventh on Friday. Also, Stone Garrett will play […]

Francisco Mejia Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Francisco Mejia (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles due to knee discomfort. He underwent further testing that revealed Mejia suffered a left knee MCL sprain. He'll now be shut down for an extended period of time. That means, Christian Bethancourt should do a majority […]

Jarren Duran Playing On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran will make his return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. The lefty outfielder sat out Thursday's game due to the fact left-hander Ken Waldichuk was on the mound for Oakland. Duran will return to the leadoff spot and cover left field versus right-hander […]

Garrett Cooper Returning To The Lineup

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 32-year-old is making his return to the lineup after sitting each of the last two games. It sounds like those were routine rest days, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Cooper dealing with an injury. […]

Ron Harper Jr. Back With Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have signed forward Ron Harper Jr. to a two-way contract. Harper spent last season with the Raptors on a two-way deal. He only appeared in nine games for Toronto as he spent most of his time in the G-League. Harper averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.2 blocks in […]

Admiral Schofield Returning To Magic

The Orlando Magic have agreed on a two-way contract with forward Admiral Schofield. The 26-year-old has spent each of the last two seasons with the Magic. However, he hasn't been able to establish a consistent role for himself in the rotation. Last season, Schofield averaged 4.2 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 12.2 minutes […]

Trevor Keels Signs Two-Way Deal

New York Knicks guard Trevor Keels has signed another two-way contract with the organization. The 19-year-old signed a two-way deal with the team two different times last season. He only appeared in three games for the Knicks, but he has a chance to earn a bigger role in camp. Keels averaged 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, […]
