Trent Thornton Lands on Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trent Thornton (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Thornton has struggled over his last four starts, so right elbow inflammation could explain some of the problems. Ryan Borucki (elbow) has been activated off the injured list in a corresponding move. He'll make the start against the Cleveland […]

Ryan Borucki Activated, Starting Monday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. He will make his season debut against the Cleveland Indians. Borucki missed the first three months of the season due to lingering elbow issues. He's been a reliable option in the past, so he could have some […]

Aledmys Diaz Activated on Monday

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Diaz missed two months of action due to a left hamstring strain. He was hitting well before the issue, but who knows if he'll continue that pace. Diaz will have some decent fantasy value until Carlos Correa returns later […]

Max Scherzer Throws Bullpen Session

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) threw a successful bullpen session on Monday. Afterwards, Scherzer said he felt good and is ready to return to the starting rotation. He should be back either Thursday or Friday, so fantasy owners should stay tuned for more information later in the week.

C.J. Cron Back on the Injured List

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. He just returned from the injured list about a week ago. He's dealing with right thumb inflammation that is more serious than the team first thought. Miguel Sano will cover first base and bat fifth versus lefty CC […]

Ryan Zimmerman Lands on Injured List Again

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Zimmerman is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. This is the same injury that sidelined him earlier in the season. Matt Adams is expected to fill in at first base while Zimmerman is sidelined. Adams is batting fifth […]

Zack Wheeler Will Rejoin Rotation Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will rejoin the starting rotation for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wheeler threw a successful bullpen session on Sunday. He is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Tuesday. Wheeler has been sidelined the last week and a half due to shoulder fatigue. He remains a […]

Joey Gallo Sits Versus Lefty

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Gallo will get the day off to rest against the left-handed starter. Delino DeShields will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Marco Gonzales. DeShields doesn't have much upside for fantasy leagues besides his speed.

Buster Posey Takes A Breather

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Posey caught all 12 innings on Sunday after catching Saturday's contest as well. He'll get a routine day off here, but should be back in the lineup for Tuesday. Stephen Vogt will draw the start […]

Tyler Mahle Officially Hits Injured List

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 20. He suffered a left hamstring strain during his start on Friday. The Reds are unsure how long Mahle will be sidelined, but he is expected to miss a few starts. Lucas Sims will draw the start on […]

Brett Gardner Remains Sidelined Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This marks the second game in a row that Gardner has missed due to a left knee issue. The Yankees consider Gardner day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the injured list. Mike Tauchman will cover […]

Tim Anderson Expected to Be Back Soon

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (ankle) is hopeful that he'll be able to return to the lineup in a week or two. He has been sidelined since late June due to a sprained right ankle. Ryan Goins and Jose Rondon have been playing shortstop in his absence. Anderson sounds like he is feeling better, […]

Matt Carpenter Expected to Be Activated Friday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (foot) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when eligible on Friday. He is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday and get in some at-bats in the minors. Yairo Munoz has been hitting very well at third base in the absence of Carpenter. […]

Travis Jankowski Activated, Optioned to Minors

San Diego Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski (wrist) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. Jankowski suffered a fractured left wrist during spring training and has been sidelined all season. He has been optioned to Triple-A since there is no room for him in the crowded San Diego outfield. He should be back […]

Brandon Woodruff Likely Out Six Weeks

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (oblique) is likely going to be sidelined six weeks. Woodruff strained his oblique during Sunday's contest, and the MRI showed significant damage. This is a shame because Woodruff was having a breakout campaign for the Brewers. It's unclear who is going to take the spot in the rotation, but […]

Conner Menez to Debut Against Mets

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Conner Menez will make his big league debut against the New York Mets on Sunday. Drew Pomeranz will move to the bullpen with Menez joining the starting rotation. Menez has a 3.13 ERA with 123 strikeouts during 95 innings in the minors this season. He's worth streaming against the Mets […]

Rogelio Armenteros to Start on Sunday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Rogelio Armenteros will draw the start against the Texas Rangers on Sunday. Armenteros has pitched well for the team through his three appearances this season. He'll be given the opportunity to start against Texas on Sunday, but doesn't have great long-term value. The Astros like to use Armenteros in different spots. […]

Josh Naylor Optioned to Minors

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Naylor has been optioned to the minors on Sunday. Naylor hit .236/.287/.358 with three home runs and 16 RBI during his time in the majors. However, there just wasn't enough playing time available for Naylor. It's better if Naylor gets regular playing time in the minors, so he can […]

Michel Baez Joins Big League Roster

San Diego Padres pitcher Michel Baez had his contract purchased by the organization on Sunday. Baez is one of the top ranked prospects in the Padres' farm system right now. He has a 2.00 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 27 innings in the minors this season. He's been pitching in relief all season. He could […]

Hunter Pence is Resting Versus Astros

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. Pence will get a routine day off here to rest, but should be back in there next game. Shin-Soo Choo will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Rogelio Armenteros. Choo has been […]

Adam Frazier Sits Versus Lefty

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Frazier will get a routine day off here against the left-handed starter. Kevin Newman will bat leadoff and slide over to second base versus lefty Drew Smyly. Newman is hitting over .340 in the last […]

J.T. Realmuto Sits Out on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Realmuto has been getting plenty of rest lately. He'll get another day off to rest on Sunday, but should be back in the lineup next game. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind the plate and […]

Miguel Cabrera Takes a Breather on Sunday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cabrera will get a regular day off here, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Nicholas Castellanos will serve as the designated hitter and bat third versus righty Jacob Waguespack. Castellanos […]

Jose Iglesias is Absent on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Iglesias (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off for him, so Iglesias should be back in the lineup next game. Jose Peraza will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Jake Flaherty. Peraza has been […]

Gary Sanchez is Back in the Lineup

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Sanchez did not play in Saturday's game due to rest, but it appears he's ready to get back out there. He'll draw the start behind the plate and bat fifth versus righty German Marquez. Sanchez hasn't […]

Nick Senzel Sits Out on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Senzel pinch-ran on Saturday, so that's a good sign that he could return to the lineup soon. He's not ready to play on Sunday, but hopefully he'll be back in there in the next few […]

Kevin Kiermaier to Be Placed on Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Kiermaier is dealing with a sprained left thumb, but the team doesn't believe it will require surgery. The team is hopeful that Kiermaier can return in about two weeks. Guillermo Heredia has been recalled to take his spot […]

Tyler Alexander to Start Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyler Alexander has been recalled and will make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Alexander started for the team earlier in the year and pitched well through five innings. There's a good chance that he receives multiple starts for the Tigers. However, he's not worth scooping up in […]

Mark Reynolds Has Been Designated for Assignment

Colorado Rockies first baseman Mark Reynolds has been designated for assignment by the organization on Sunday. The veteran slugger hit .170/.290/.311 with four home runs and 20 RBI this season. He's only a few homers shy of the 300 mark for his career, so hopefully he'll get another chance elsewhere. Fantasy owners can go ahead […]

Drew Smyly Debuts for Phillies on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Drew Smyly will make his team debut with Philly versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Smyly will have a full time spot in the rotation with Nick Pivetta being demoted to the bullpen. Smyly is 1-5 with a 8.42 ERA this season, so he can be avoided in all fantasy leagues […]
