Joe Ross Expected to Be Fine

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (leg) is scheduled to make his next start versus the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. He took a comebacker off his right leg during his start on Monday. He was removed from the contest, but it appears to be a day-to-day type of issue. Ross is expected to stay in […]

Darrell Henderson is Seeing Plenty of Snaps

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson has been heavily involved in the offense during the first two preseason contests. Henderson has 12 rushing attempts for 29 yards and seven receptions for 33 yards through two games. He's listed as the third string running back for the Rams going into the season. However, he could […]

Darrel Williams Sees Little Action Against Steelers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams saw plenty of usage in their preseason opener, but was kept quiet during the second preseason contest. Williams saw six carries for 25 yards versus the Bengals. However, the Chiefs decided to let other players get into the mix for their game against the Steelers. Williams has quickly […]

Demarcus Robinson Has Slow Start to Camp

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson hasn't been too involved in the offense during the first two preseason games. He caught one pass for six yards during their preseason opener. He didn't see any receptions in the second game versus the Steelers. He's basically been passed on the depth chart by rookie Mecole Hardman. […]

Damien Williams Takes Snaps Versus Steelers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams got involved in the first-team offense during their second preseason game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Williams saw five snaps in the contest, but it's still early in camp, so fantasy owners shouldn't be alarmed. Williams was dealing with hamstring issues a few weeks ago, so the Chiefs might […]

Mecole Hardman Has Been Impressive

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been impressive through the first few preseason games this season. He's caught three passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns through two games. The rookie wideout is listed as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Chiefs this season. However, it's difficult to imagine him having much […]

Harrison Butker Remains Reliable Option

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is once again going to be one of the better kickers in fantasy football this year. Butker is coming off a solid season with the Chiefs and should have just about the same fantasy value in 2019. This preseason Butker has made all six PATs and has made one […]

Sammy Watkins Has Slow Start to Camp

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has not been as involved in the preseason as some may have expected coming into the season. Watkins has just one reception for seven yards through two preseason games. However, Watkins does have a long history with injuries, so the Chiefs main focus is keeping Watkins on the […]

Chris Sale to Be Shut Down for Six Weeks

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) will be officially shut down for the next six weeks of action. Sale will be given a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow, so he won't pitch again in the regular season. He'll finish the season with a 4.40 ERA and 218/37 K/BB ratio across 147 1/3 […]

Ian Desmond Gets Day Off on Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Hampson doesn't have enough upside to […]

Ryan Braun is Out Again on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun sat out on Sunday due to rest, but he's sitting out again on Monday as well. It's unclear if he's dealing with an injury or the Brewers just want to shake up their outfield. […]

Billy Hamilton Claimed by Braves

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves on Monday. He was designated for assignment by KC after hitting .211/.275/.269 with the team. The Braves have lost two outfielders in just a few short weeks, so Hamilton provides depth. His speed makes his a useful fantasy option, but […]

Jose Peraza Draws Start in Outfield

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza is moving to the outfielder for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Peraza normally plays second base for Cincinnati, but is shifting to the outfield against the left-handed starter. Peraza will play left field and bat fifth versus lefty Eric Lauer. Peraza is 0-for-8 through his last seven games, […]

Brian Dozier Placed on Paternity Leave List

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier (personal) has been placed on the paternity leave list on Monday.

Asdrubal Cabrera will cover second […]

Max Kepler is Out of the Lineup Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (illness) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Kepler left Sunday's game due to illness, so that could be why he's sidelined again. Marwin Gonzalez will cover right field and bat sixth versus righty Ivan Nova. Gonzalez has been incredible with the bat […]

Zach Davies Activated, Starting on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He was sidelined last week due to back spasms, but will return to the rotation versus the St. Louis Cardinals here. Davies has a 3.74 ERA through 23 starts with the Brewers this season. He was getting roughed […]

Jaime Barria Will Start on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jaime Barria will draw the start in the second game of the doubleheader versus the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Barria is 4-6 with a 6.62 ERA in seven starts with the Angels this season. He isn't a reliable fantasy option and he's not worth streaming on Tuesday.

A.J. Puk to Join Athletics on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics pitcher A.J. Puk is expected to join the major league team ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Puk is one of the highest rated pitching prospects in baseball right now. He's posted a 4.97 ERA this season in the minors, but is coming off Tommy John surgery. He's going to […]

Lorenzo Cain Remains Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (oblique) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tyler O'Neill Takes Batting Practice Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is scheduled to take batting practice before Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

O'Neill should be back in the Cardinals' lineup before the end […]

Nick Senzel Scratched on Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (elbow) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was hit by a pitch during Sunday's contest and is still dealing with a sore elbow. However, he's listed as day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the injured list. Phillip Ervin will bat […]

Jose Altuve Gets Day Off

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This is a normal day off for the All-Star infielder, so he should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Jake Mayfield will cover second base and bat eighth versus righty Edwin Jackson. Mayfield is […]

Niko Goodrum is Out of the Lineup Again

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. Goodrum is dealing with a sore groin, but isn't expected to land on the injured list. Ronny Rodriguez will cover second base and bat seventh versus lefty Wade Miley. Rodriguez doesn't have much upside with the […]

Nelson Cruz is Activated on Monday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Monday. He suffered a ruptured tendon in his left wrist, but was only sidelined for 10 days. He'll be back in the lineup on Monday versus righty Ivan Nova. Cruz should continue to be a reliable source of power […]

Joey Votto is Placed on Injured List

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 15. Votto has not played since Wednesday due to lower back tightness. It's unclear how long Votto is going to be sidelined at the moment. Josh VanMeter is expected to draw most of the starts at first base. […]

Ketel Marte Remains Out on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This marks the second game in a row that Marte has missed due to back tightness. Adam Jones will cover center field and bat fifth versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Jones has been red-hot at the […]

Yasmani Grandal Sits Out Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Grandal has seen an increased workload lately, so he'll get a much deserved off day here. Manny Pina will draw the start behind the plate and bat sixth versus righty Erick Fedde. Pina doesn't have enough […]
