Miguel Amaya Absent Versus Pirates

Chicago Cubs rookie catcher Miguel Amaya (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is a bit concerning after Amaya was hit by a pitch in the hand during Sunday's game. It's possible the Cubs are just giving Amaya an extra day to rest. Fantasy managers should stay […]

Tim Anderson Remains Out On Monday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Anderson will now miss his second game in a row after exiting early on Saturday due to shoulder soreness. The White Sox didn't place him on the injured list yet, so the assumption is that […]

Alek Thomas Recalled On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas has been recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday. He returns to the majors following a minor league stint after struggling with the D-Backs to open the season. Thomas slashed .195/.252/.327 with two homers and three steals during his first stint with the D-Backs. The 23-year-old went down to the minors […]

Andrew Kittredge To Face Hitters On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge (elbow) is scheduled to face hitters during a live batting practice session on Friday. The right-hander has been sidelined all season while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. Kittredge underwent surgery last June, so in theory he should be fully recovered soon. The 33-year-old posted a 1.88 ERA […]

Brandon Lowe To Resume Baseball Activities On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) is scheduled to resume baseball activities on Friday. He was shut down from baseball activities for 2-3 weeks earlier this month.

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. Miller also racked up six strikeouts and didn't issue a walk during this outing. The 24-year-old has looked extremely sharp over his last two […]

Lars Nootbaar Could Return On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (back) could potentially make his return to the field versus the Washington Nationals on Monday. He started his minor league rehab assignment earlier this week and will be re-evaluated on Sunday. Nootbaar put together a four-hit performance on Sunday. He appears ready to make his return, but fantasy managers […]

Jonathan India Removed From Sunday's Game

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. He later went down hard after being taken out on a double play in the ninth. India stayed in the game, but left for […]

Alex Cobb Placed On Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (oblique) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday, retroactive June 15. It's a tough blow to the Giants considering Cobb was scheduled to start versus the San Diego Padres on Monday. The organization hasn't given a timetable for Cobb's return. 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. Luckily, the tests came back negative, so Rendon isn't dealing with a serious injury. However, the Angels are going to hold him out for a few games. Manager Phil Nevin said that Rendon is […]

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. It seems like the team pulled him out of the contest as a precaution. Fantasy managers […]

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

Saturday's game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees has been postponed due to inclement weather in Boston. The plan is for the two teams to play a doubleheader on Sunday. The assumption is that pitchers Brayan Bello and Clarke Schmidt will have their starts pushed back to Sunday, assuming the weather cooperates. […]

Eury Perez To Remain In Rotation

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. However, the injury to Edward Cabrera has made it difficult for the Marlins to follow through with those plans. Perez has a 1.80 ERA, 1.09 […]

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 corner infielder was removed from Thursday's game after falling down while attempting to run out a grounder. The 31-year-old was seen using crutches, which is never a good sign. 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. The left-handed slugger received a rest day on Wednesday and the team had a scheduled off-day on Thursday. It appears the team just wanted to give Devers some extra rest. He'll resume his role […]

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 […]
