Jonathan Schoop is Not in the Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Gerson Bautista Will Serve As Opener Wednesday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Gerson Bautista will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He was activated from the injured list recently and has only pitched in two games for Seattle this season. Tommy Milone will follow Bautista and pitch a bulk of the innings. This is a situation to avoid against […]

Jordan Yamamoto Recalled, Starting Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jordan Yamamoto will draw the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Yamamoto was recalled from Double-A following Jose Urena (hip) landing on the injured list. He's been serviceable in the minors this season, so he carries some deep league appeal. Yamamoto probably isn't worth a look against the St. […]

Gregory Polanco is Sitting on Wednesday

Melky Cabrera will draw the start in right field and bat fifth versus righty Mike Soroka. Cabrera has actually been reliable with the bat this […]

Jorge Alfaro is Absent on Wednesday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Derek Law Named Opener for Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Derek Law will draw the start against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Law will act as the opener and pitch an inning or two in this one. Edwin Jackson will follow him and pitch a majority of the innings. Both Law and Jackson have been ugly this season, so fantasy […]

Jarrod Dyson is Out on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The speedy outfielder will get a routine day off here. Ketel Marte will bat leadoff and cover center field versus righty Zach Eflin. Marte is a strong DFS option and will likely be popular in many […]

Bryce Harper Gets Day Off on Wednesday

This will be the first off day of the season for Harper, but with the Phillies off on Thursday, Harper gets two days to rest. Nick Williams will draw the start in right field and bat […]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Garcia is getting a routine rest day here, so fantasy owners don't need to be concerned. Austin Meadows will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Mike Fiers. Meadows is an excellent […]

Darwinzon Hernandez Recalled, Starting Tuesday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Darwinzon Hernandez will draw the start against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Hernandez threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings earlier this season with four strikeouts. However, he owns a 5.13 ERA and 59/32 K/BB ratio in Double-A this year. DFS players should go ahead and stay away from Hernandez in this one.

Delino DeShields is Absent on Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The speedy outfielder will get a routine day off here to rest. Danny Santana will cover center field and bat second versus lefty Darwinzon Hernandez. Santana has surprisingly been strong with the bat and is […]

Christian Walker Takes A Seat on Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. The veteran slugger will get a routine day off here to rest. Adeiny Hechavarria will slide over to third base and bat eighth versus lefty James Paxton. Hechavarria has some fantasy value in […]

Nick Ahmed Returns on Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (foot) will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ahmed left Sunday's game due to left foot discomfort, and sat out during Monday's contest. He'll bat seventh and bat shortstop versus righty Jake Arrieta on Tuesday. Ahmed has been average with the bat this season, […]

Jerad Eickhoff Demoted to the Bullpen

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff has been demoted to the bullpen after a horrendous start on Monday. Eickhoff was crushed, allowing seven runs to the Diamondbacks in Monday's loss. He has not shown signs of life during his other starts either, so the bullpen could be a better fit for him. Manager Gabe Kapler […]

Mark Trumbo Could Return This Weekend

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Mark Trumbo (knee) could return to the active roster this weekend if everything goes right. Trumbo is rehabbing his surgically-repaired right knee in Triple-A right now. He should be activated this weekend, assuming Trumbo doesn't suffer any setbacks. Renato Nunez has been playing well in the designated hitter role this season. […]

Kevin Gausman Lands on Injured List

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Gausman is dealing with plantar fasciitis, so he could be looking at a lengthy absence here.

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (chest) hit off a tee, took infield, and was able to run sprints on Tuesday. Dozier has been sidelined since May 31 because of a chest injury.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (lat) will start a rehab assignment either Friday or Saturday. Hernandez said that he felt great after throwing a 15-pitch batting practice session on Sunday. However, Hernandez has a 6.52 ERA through eight starts this season. He's not someone worth looking at in fantasy leagues until he gets his […]

Josh Donaldson Suspended One Game

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (suspension) has been suspended one game for his involvement in the benches clearing incident versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. Donaldson and Pirates' pitcher Joe Musgrove got into a heated exchange after Donaldson was hit by a pitch. Musgrove was not issued a suspension, but Donaldson was given a […]

Aaron Judge Could Begin Rehab Work This Weekend

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as early as this weekend, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Albert Almora Jr. Sits on Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Almora has seen quite a lot of rest lately with veteran Carlos Gonzalez getting more playing time. Gonzalez will bat fifth and play right field versus righty German Marquez on Monday.

Odrisamer Despaigne to Start on Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne will make the start versus the Washington Nationals on Monday. The veteran righty has poor numbers in the MLB, but has pitched well during his time in the minors. Despaigne has a 3.34 ERA through 11 starts in the minors this season. He's not a trustworthy fantasy option, […]
