Texas Rangers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney seemingly had no problems versus the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The left-hander went six innings, allowing only one unearned run with five strikeouts in the 13-3 victory. This marks three straight quality starts for the 31-year-old southpaw. To be fair, the last two games were versus the Seattle Mariners […]

Jorge Soler Posts Four-Hit Game

He stayed hot with an RBI single in the third and fifth inning. Soler finished the game 4-for-5 with a […]

Aaron Hicks Gets Designated For Assignment

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks has been designated for assignment on Saturday. The switch-hitter has been struggling, slashing .188/.263/.261 with one homer and five RBI in 20 games this season. The 33-year-old signed a seven-year, $70 million extension with the Yankees back in 2019. The Yankees have decided to eat nearly $30 million that […]

Taijuan Walker To Start On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Taijuan Walker has been named the starter for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Luckily, they still […]

Tommy Edman Back In Saturday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman (abdomen) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

James Outman Sitting Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This looks to be a routine day off for the rookie outfielder. Outman has been hot this season, slashing .263/.353/.533 with nine home runs, 27 RBI, and five steals in 41 games. Veteran outfielder Jason […]

Will Smith Gets Rest Day On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off after Smith had caught three straight games for the Dodgers. That being said, Austin Barnes will start behind the plate and bat ninth versus right-hander Miles Mikolas […]

Jorge Polanco Lands On Injured List

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He was pulled from Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring strain.

Brenton Doyle Absent On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. It appears the 25-year-old is getting a routine day off here, so fantasy managers don't need to worry about an injury. Doyle has been fairly successful during his limited action this season. He's slashing .237/.274/.508 with four […]

Manny Machado Placed On 15-Day Injured List

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (hand) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday. He attempted to play through the injury, but the team is going to take the cautious approach.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley (lat) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury on Tuesday. The left-hander has been diagnosed with a posterior serratus strain and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, according to manager Craig Counsell. It's a shame because the 36-year-old was having a fairly decent season. Before going […]

Manny Machado Continues To Sit Out

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Machado has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his third metacarpal bone in left his hand. He recently mentioned himself that this injury might require a trip to the injured list. For […]

Alex Verdugo Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was pulled from Wednesday's game due to tightness in his groin. However, Verdugo returns to the lineup after an off-day on Thursday, so it appears to be only a minor issue. He'll cover […]

Mike Trout Not In The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is not of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine day off for the superstar outfielder. The Angels will have Mickey Moniak cover center field and bat leadoff versus right-hander Joe Ryan on […]

Joey Gallo Won't Play On Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (shin) is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's contest versus the Los Angeles Angels. The left-handed slugger left Wednesday's contest after fouling off a ball on his shin. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, but it appears Gallo is still dealing with some soreness. Fantasy managers should expect Gallo […]

Jorge Polanco Absent On Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He was pulled from Wednesday's contest due to a mild left hamstring strain. The team is calling the injury a day-to-day issue, so Polanco hasn't been placed on the injured list. Hopefully, Polanco can […]

Yasmani Grandal To Remain Out On Friday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. He was pulled from Wednesday's contest after re-aggravating his hamstring issue. This sounds like something that the White Sox are going to have to continue manage going forward. Manager Pedro Grifol said Grandal is […]

Starling Marte To Play On Friday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (hand) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The 34-year-old missed Thursday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand on Wednesday. It doesn't appear that it was a serious issue as Marte is back in the lineup after a one-game absence. […]

Eric Hosmer Gets Designated For Assignment

Chicago Cubs first baseman Eric Hosmer has been designated for assignment on Friday. Honestly, it was just a matter of time after Hosmer was recently moved to a bench role. The Cubs don't have the room for Hosmer on the roster with youngster Matt Mervis up and playing everyday at first base. Hosmer slashed .234/.280/.330 […]

Kevin Kiermaier Returning To The Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The left-handed slugger has missed each of the last two games due to a minor illness. He's back now, Kiermaier will cover center field and bat ninth versus right-hander Kyle Gibson on Friday. The 33-year-old […]

Tommy Edman Absent On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman (abdomen) is absent from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. This isn't shocking considering Edman exited early on Thursday due to abdominal soreness. He suffered the injury when colliding with teammate Lars Nootbaar in the third inning. For now, the Cardinals are considering Edman […]

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The left-handed slugger hyperextended his left knee while making a catch during Monday's game versus the Houston Astros.

Nico Hoerner Officially Activated

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. As expected, Hoerner will make his return to the field after a minimal injured list stint due to a hamstring strain. The 25-year-old has been off to a fantastic start, so hopefully the time off won't slow him […]

Yandy Diaz Remains Sidelined On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury on Sunday. The Rays continue to call him day-to-day, so the expectation is that Diaz will return this weekend. They haven't decided to use the […]

Nick Williams Joins Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to a one-year deal with defensive end Nick Williams. The 33-year-old has bounced around in the league since being drafted in the seventh round in 2013 by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jacob Martin Signs With Texans

The Houston Texans have reached an agreement with free-agent linebacker Jacob Martin on a one-year deal. The two sides have agreed on a reunion after Martin spent 2019-2021 with the Texans. He left and split time with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets last season. Martin didn't have much success elsewhere, so he'll join […]

Davante Adams Unlikely To Be Traded

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams recently voiced his displeasure with the direction of this organization. The Raiders haven't added much offensive talent over the offseason.

Lane Johnson Cleared For Football Activities

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (core) has been cleared to resume football activities. The four-time Pro Bowler played through a core muscle injury last postseason. He missed the final two games of the regular season because of the issue, but played through the pain in the playoffs. After that, Johnson underwent surgery in February […]

Preston Williams Cut By Panthers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Preston Williams has been released by the organization. The 26-year-old put together a fairly strong rookie campaign in 2019. Since then, Williams has struggled to make the same kind of impact in the league. He only played in one game with the Panthers last season. He has 56 receptions, 787 yards, […]

Jacob Eason Released By Panthers

Carolina Panthers quarterback Jacob Eason has been released by the organization on Thursday. The former fourth round pick has seen very little NFL action since being drafted in 2020 by the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old has completed 5-of-10 passing attempts for 84 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions in two career appearances. Possibly, Eason […]
