Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 5. Price has a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) cyst in his left wrist. He's been absolutely destroyed during his last four starts, so this injury explains why that happened. It's unknown how much time he's going to […]

Brad Brach Signs Deal with Mets
New York Mets relief pitcher Brad Brach should give the organization some much-needed depth in the bullpen. Brach was released by the Chicago Cubs earlier this week after posting a 6.13 ERA through 42 appearances. The former All-Star had a rough time in Chicago, but hopefully a change of scenery will help. He's likely going […]

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. Lopez struggled heavily during his rehab outing, so hopefully this goes better for him.

Steven Duggar Placed on Injured List
San Francisco Giants outfielder Steven Duggar (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Duggar injured his left shoulder while diving for a ball during Wednesday's contest.

Gleyber Torres Remains Out on Thursday
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (core) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Valera is not worth adding in fantasy leagues […]

Carlos Hyde is Earning More Reps
Kansas City Chiefs running back Carlos Hyde has reportedly taken advantage of his opportunities in camp, according to head coach Andy Reid. Lead back Damien Williams (hamstring) was sidelined for 10 days, so Hyde received some extra work. Williams remains the starter, but Hyde does have some fantasy value heading into the season. There should […]

Damien Williams Returns to Practice Wednesday
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday. He missed 10 days due to a hamstring issue, but appears ready to go now. Williams will be good to go for Week 1, assuming that he doesn't suffer any setbacks. He'll likely be a back-end RB1 at the beginning of the […]

John Means Will Be Limited Wednesday
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means will be limited during Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees, according to manager Brandon Hyde.

Austin Riley Placed on Injured List
Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Riley suffered a knee issue on Tuesday, so he'll be sidelined with an apparent knee ligament injury. He got off to a hot start with Atlanta, but has been slumping with the bat lately. It's unclear at the moment […]

Cam Gallagher Scratched on Wednesday
Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher (back) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Gallagher is dealing with tightness on his left side, so he'll sit this one out. Meibrys Viloria will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Viloria is not a reliable fantasy […]

Anthony Rendon Exits Early on Wednesday
Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (toe) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rendon left the game after getting hit in the foot by a pitch. Asdrubal Cabrera took over at third base for Rendon, so he could see a couple of starts over there. The team is doing some […]

Christian Yelich Won't Play on Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yelich is dealing with a back issue and won't be in the lineup until he feels better. This is a day-to-day issue, so he shouldn't land on the injured list. Trent Grisham will bat leadoff and […]

Cain was removed from Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his knee. The Brewers are going to stay cautious here and give him another day off. Ben Gamel will draw the start in center field […]

Brandon Kintzler Lands on Injured List
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Kintzler (pectoral) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He felt discomfort in his pec while pitching against the Oakland Athletics on Monday.

Hector Noesi Will Start on Tuesday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Hector Noesi will draw the start against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Noesi hasn't started a game in the MLB since 2015, so we'll see how this goes. He has a 3.82 ERA in 21 starts at Triple-A this season. He's not a favorable streaming option, so DFS players should […]

Jonathan Holder Will Open on Tuesday
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Holder is scheduled to be the opener for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Holder made a start for the Yankees last season, but it's the first time he's doing it this year. He has a 6.28 ERA, so he's not a favorable fantasy option, even against the Orioles […]

Christian Yelich is Resting on Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is a rare off day for the potential MVP. Trent Grisham will cover left field and bat seventh versus lefty Steven Brault. Grisham has been off to a hot start, so he's a decent cheap […]

Joe Panik Designated for Assignment
San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik has been designated for assignment by the organization on Tuesday. The team acquired Scooter Gennett from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline. Panik was hitting .235/.310/.317 this season, so the team preferred using Gennett at this point in the season. His fantasy value should increase if he […]

Kole Calhoun Sits Tuesday
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Calhoun has actually struggled more against right-handed pitchers this season, so he'll sit this one out. Brian Goodwin will cover right field and bat third versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Goodwin has been great with the […]

Ender Inciarte Will Play Tuesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (quad) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Inciarte was forced to exit the game early on Monday due to tightness in his quad. Luckily, it's not anything too serious, so Inciarte won't land on the injured list.
