Pablo Lopez to Throw Bullpen Session Friday

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. He's been sidelined since mid-June due to a shoulder issue. It's unclear at the moment when Lopez will be able to take the mound again […]

Gary Sanchez Expected to Return Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) is expected to rejoin the active roster on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez started a rehab assignment on Wednesday, so he should be ready to go by the weekend. Austin Romine and Kyle Higashioka have been sharing the catching duties in New York. Neither have been […]

Austin Riley Suffers Torn LCL

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley (knee) has been diagnosed with a partially torn LCL in his right knee. He's been placed on the 10-day injured list, so he could be sidelined for quite some time. Riley started off the season hitting well with the Braves, but hit a second half slump. There is a chance […]

Jay Bruce Activated on Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Bruce missed three weeks due to a strained oblique. He's back in the lineup, batting fifth and playing left field versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Outfielder Adam Haseley has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Bruce is not […]

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. Duggar only offered fantasy value in NL-only leagues, so not a huge loss for fantasy owners. Joey Rickard will join the active roster while Duggar […]

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. Torres is reportedly feeling better, but will take an extra day off here. Breyvic Valera will play second base and bat ninth versus lefty Thomas Pannone. 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. Means just came off the 10-day injured list after missing two weeks due to left shoulder inflammation. The Orioles will likely have him on a pitch count for this contest. Fantasy owners may […]

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 […]

Gleyber Torres is Sitting Out on Wednesday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (chest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Torres was removed from Tuesday's game due to core pain, but the tests came back negative. Torres is not expected to be placed on the injured list. Breyvic Valera will bat ninth and play second […]

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 […]

Lorenzo Cain is Out of Wednesday's Contest

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. 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 […]

Pedro Strop Activated from Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (neck) has been activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Strop is back in the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics after missing 10 days due to neck tightness. Craig Kimbrel (knee) and Brandon Kintzler (pectoral) are both sidelined, so Steve Cishek and Strop will get most […]

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. Manager Joe Maddon doesn't believe the injury is too serious, so hopefully he'll only be sidelined for the 10 days. Kintzler has been one […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Joins Nationals

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Cabrera was released by the Texas Rangers on Saturday. He officially joins the Nationals roster on Tuesday. He's hitting .235/.318/.393 with 12 home runs this season, so nothing too great from him. He likely won't see […]

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 […]

Steven Brault Activated, Starting Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Steven Brault (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Brault missed a full month of action due to a left shoulder strain. He has a 4.15 ERA in nine starts with Pittsburgh this season. He's drawing the start versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. He can go […]

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. He'll bat ninth and play center field […]

Kolby Allard Will Start on Friday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard will be added to the active roster and will make the start on Friday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Allard was acquired from the Braves during the trade deadline for reliever Chris Martin. Adrian Sampson will move to the bullpen to make room for Allard in the starting rotation. Allard […]

Alex Verdugo Placed on Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Verdugo was scratched from Monday's starting lineup with back issues, but lands on the shelf because of a right oblique strain. Kristopher Negron will cover center field and bat eighth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Fantasy owners should expect to be […]

Ryan Braun Gets Day Off Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The team recalled outfielder Trent Grisham, so they want to give him a chance to play. Grisham will bat leadoff and play left field versus righty Yu Darvish. Grisham doesn't have great fantasy value versus Darvish, […]

Lorenzo Cain is Sitting Out Versus Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This appears to be a routine day off for Cain, so he should be back in there next game. Ben Gamel will cover center field and bat sixth versus righty Yu Darvish. Gamel doesn't have enough […]

Wilson Ramos Sits Out on Sunday

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ramos went 4-for-5 with six knocked in during Saturday's game, so he's earned a day off. Tomas Nido will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Joe Musgrove. Nido is not […]
