San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada (hand) is set to undergo further testing after getting hit by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Manager Gabe Kapler mentioned that Estrada was feeling sore after Sunday's game, so the team will play it safe and have him undergo X-rays. It sounds like the Giants […]

Sean Tucker Looks Improved On Saturday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker wasn't much of a factor during his preseason debut last week. However, the 21-year-old was able to make more of an impact during Saturday's game against the New York Jets. The Bucs started Ke'Shawn Vaughn, but he quickly gave way to Tucker. The undrafted rookie rushed seven times […]

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey is out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the Atlanta Braves. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine rest day for Bailey.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 25-year-old missed most of the month of August due to tendinitis in his right knee. His return is great news for the Blue Jays who haven't received much production from the shortstop position in his absence. Bichette […]

Esteury Ruiz Sitting Out On Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 24-year-old speedster. This season, Esteury Ruiz is slashing .251/.304/.331 with 37 RBI and 48 stolen bases over 91 games. Tony Kemp, Lawrence Butler, and Seth Brown will […]

J.D. Martinez Back In The Lineup On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (groin) is returning to Friday's starting lineup versus the Miami Marlins. This is good news after Martinez was a late scratch from Thursday's contest.

[…]

C.J. Cron Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Angels first baseman C.J. Cron (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 16. This news shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fantasy managers.

New York Mets starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. The left-hander was rumored to be called up in order to give Kodai Senga an extra day to rest. That appears to be the plan as Lucchesi is in line to take the ball versus the St. Louis Cardinals on […]
