Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge (elbow) is scheduled to face hitters during a live batting practice session on Friday.

Yunior Marte Records First Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Yunior Marte was asked to take the ball with a one-run lead in the ninth inning during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The Phillies were limited on short relievers after going through most of their bullpen on Saturday. That being said, they gave Marte a chance to show what he […]

Lance Lynn Notches 16 Strikeouts

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn looked unhittable throughout most of Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The right-hander delivered a dominant performance in a losing effort. Lynn struck out a career-high 16 batters over seven innings of work. Those 16 punchouts matched a White Sox' franchise record set by Jack Harshman in 1954. […]

Bryce Miller Looks Terrific On Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller made easy work of the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. The rookie right-hander allowed only one run on four hits over seven innings of work.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India was unable to finish out Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The right-handed slugger tied the game with a home run in the eighth inning.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (oblique) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday, retroactive June 15.

Keaton Winn will take the […]

Anthony Rendon Targeting Return For Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (wrist) exited early on Thursday after being hit in the wrist by a pitch.

Sean Murphy Removed Early On Saturday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (leg) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The right-handed slugger blasted a ball off the wall in the fourth inning, but suffered an apparent leg injury while running the bases.

Michael Massey Remains Out On Saturday

Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He suffered a laceration to his left index finger prior to Friday's game. As a precaution, the Royals will hold Massey out of Saturday's game as well. The assumption is that this is […]

Red Sox-Yankees Postponed On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez will remain in the starting rotation. There were rumors that the Marlins would send him to the minors in order to limit his workload.

Eduardo Rodriguez Throws Bullpen Session

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) was able to throw a bullpen session on Friday. The left-hander has been sidelined since late May due to left index finger injury. The organization doesn't have a timetable for his return, but the fact he was able to throw is a great sign. At this point, fantasy […]

Michael Massey Scratched On Friday

Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey (finger) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup versus the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old suffered a finger laceration, so the team will hold him out from this contest. This sounds like a minor issue, so fantasy managers should consider Massey as day-to-day. In the meantime, Matt Duffy […]

Cristian Pache Activated On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 24-year-old has been out since late-April due to a meniscus tear in his right knee. Before that, Pache was actually hitting well through his first nine games with the Phillies. He's not […]

Yasmani Grandal Sitting Out On Friday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine rest day for the switch-hitting catcher.

Triston McKenzie Scratched On Friday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie (elbow) has been scratched from Friday's start against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more information on his […]

Gio Urshela Heads To Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Gio Urshela (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday.

The Angels revealed that Urshela suffered a left […]

Ryan McMahon Resting On Friday

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be nothing more than a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. He's slashing .271/.352/.494 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in 67 games this season. Coco Montes will cover second base and […]

Jalin Hyatt Working With Third-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has been working with the third-team offense during offseason practices, according to Dan Duggan. That being said, it appears Hyatt has an uphill battle for playing time in New York. The Giants selected Hyatt in the third-round during this year's draft. The assumption is that they believe the […]

Isiah Pacheco Hopeful To Return Soon

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder, hand) is hopeful to return mid-way through camp, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic. Pacheco suffered a torn labrum and a broken bone in his hand this past season. He was able to play through the injuries, but ultimately needed surgery after the season. Pacheco is […]

Parris Campbell To Be Featured Piece

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell is expected to be a featured piece of the offense, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. It sounds like Campbell is doing extremely well during in camp. He caught more passes than any other wideout on roster during seven-on-seven drills. It's still early, but Campbell appears to […]

Falcons Sign Matthew Trickett To Three-Year Deal

The Atlanta Falcons have made a move to add depth at their kicking position. On Friday, they signed undrafted kicker Matthew Trickett to a three-year deal.

Rafael Devers Returning On Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees.

Daniel Vogelbach Returns To The Lineup

New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is the first time that Vogelbach has been in the lineup since June 7. The Mets were giving the slumping corner infielder a mental break. He's slashing .203//343/.297 with two home runs and […]

Francisco Alvarez Resting On Friday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Alvarez, so he should be back in the lineup after this game. He's slashing .236/.289/.520 with 12 home runs and 25 RBI in 41 games this […]

Ryan Mountcastle Not Quite Ready Yet

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ryan Mountcastle (illness) was recently placed on the 10-day injured list due to vertigo.

That is an indication that […]

Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Chidobe Awuzie (knee) is nearly a lock to be ready for Week 1, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Awuzie is currently working his way back from an ACL tear that forced him to miss a good chunk of last season. It sounds like Awuzie is doing great in […]
