Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) was scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (hand) was able to take eight live at-bats in West Palm Beach on Saturday. Now, Alvarez will return to Houston on Sunday to determine the next steps in his rehab process. Alvarez has been sidelined since early May due to a fractured hand.

Antonio Senzatela Returning on Sunday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (finger) is expected to be activated off the injured list and start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Paul Goldschmidt Remaining Out on Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cody Bellinger Absent from Saturday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. At first, Bellinger appeared to be getting a routine rest day which he certainly needed given his current slump at the plate. Now, it's being reported that Bellinger is absent from the lineup […]

Orlando Arcia Activated on Saturday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Orlando Arcia (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Arcia missed the minimum 10 days while dealing with elbow inflammation.

Jeremy Pena Remains Out on Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This marks the second game in a row that Pena has missed due to an illness. It doesn't sound like something that is going to land him on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers […]

Cowser is currently on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion. He has been eligible to return since Thursday, but needed a few extra days. Cowser figures to resume his starting role in left […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has reportedly progressed to swinging from both sides of the plate. If everything goes well, Santander should work his way up to a hitting program and begin a rehab assignment. However, this progression is likely going to take weeks, so fantasy managers should be able to safely rule […]

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This comes after a hand issue kept Chapman from playing during Wednesday's contest. He underwent an MRI which ruled out any structural damage. However, Chapman is going to miss a few weeks because of this injury. The Giants […]

The rumors are that Fannin could line […]

Jaydon Blue Still Not Practicing

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (heel) is no longer using a walking boot, but hasn't participated in practice since last week. That being said, it's unlikely that Blue is going to be ready to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The Cowboys probably aren't going to put Blue into game action without him […]

Kaleb Johnson Unlikely to Have Big Role Right Away

According to Andrew Fillipponi, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson is unlikely to have a big role on offense early in the season. Johnson still needs to work on his pass protection and pass-catching ability before taking on a bigger role. It's still fairly early in training camp, so things could change from now to […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Sharp During Thursday's Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez bounced back nicely on the mound during Thursday's start against the Colorado Rockies.

[…]

Matthew Boyd Takes Tough Loss on Thursday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd was excellent on the mound throughout most of Thursday's outing against the Toronto Blue Jays. Boyd had a shutout going into the seventh inning until Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted a two-run home run off him. The Cubs couldn't put up much offense during this game, so sadly Boyd will […]

Owen Caissie Hitless in MLB Debut

Chicago Cubs outfielder Owen Caissie struggled at the plate during his MLB debut against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. It wasn't an easy first game for Caissie who faced off against right-hander Max Scherzer to begin the game. Caissie smacked a nice liner to the outfield, but Davis Schneider made a great diving catch […]

Max Scherzer Excellent on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer was outstanding on the mound during Thursday's outing against the Chicago Cubs.

He tossed seven […]

Michael King Heading to 15-Day Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King (knee) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 11.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (ribs, ankle) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list and take the mound against the Washington Nationals on Sunday.

Endy Rodriguez Has Season-Ending Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Endy Rodriguez (wrist) underwent successful season-ending surgery this week, according to Alex Stumpf. This is a shame considering Rodriguez underwent Tommy John surgery last year. He only managed to play in 18 games for the Pirates this season, but figures to be ready for spring training. The Pirates do have high hopes […]

Colton Cowser, Tyler O'Neill Not Ready Yet

Baltimore Orioles outfielders Colton Cowser (concussion) and Tyler O'Neill (wrist) aren't quite ready to return from the injured list yet. On Wednesday, O's interim manager Tony Mansolino said Cowser won't be activated from the 7-day concussion list when first eligible on Thursday. The left-handed slugger is still going through concussion protocol, so he can't be […]

Austin Riley Unlikely to Return This Week

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (abdominal) reportedly felt discomfort while doing some throwing on Tuesday. The hope was that Riley and Ronald Acuna Jr. (calf) would both be able to return from the injured list this week.
