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 […]

Brett Gardner is Out on Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Gardner is dealing with a nagging knee issue, so he'll sit this one out. Mike Tauchman will play left field and bat ninth versus righty German Marquez. Tauchman has been crushing the ball lately, but […]

Paul Goldschmidt Absent on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran slugger.

Luis Urias Recalled on Saturday

San Diego Padres infielder Luis Urias has been recalled and is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Urias has been crushing the ball, hitting .315/.398/.600 with 19 home runs and 50 RBI in the minors this season. He hasn't done much during his short time in the majors, but should […]

Tyreek Hill Could Be Traded

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill could be on his way out of KC, according to Mike Florio. Hill has been cleared of his suspension, but the team is not close to an extension with Hill. The Chiefs have some depth at wide receiver, so losing Hill would not be the end of the […]

Kris Bryant Covers Right Field on Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant will draw the start in right field versus the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Jason Heyward will get the day off to rest against the left-handed starter. Bryant will play right field and bat third versus lefty Joey Lucchesi. Bryant is always a threat to do damage at the […]

Edwin Jackson Released by Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson has been released by the organization on Saturday. The veteran pitcher struggled with the Jays and was designated for assignment on Tuesday. He passed through waivers unclaimed and the Jays opted to let him go rather than have him pitch in the minors. Jackson had an 11.12 ERA […]

Tyler White Has Been Designated for Assignment

Houston Astros first baseman Tyler White has been designated for assignment by the organization on Saturday. White is out of minor league options and hasn't played well enough to stay on the big league roster. He's hitting .225 with three home runs and 21 RBI with the Astros this season. White hit much better last […]

Mike Morin Acquired by Phillies

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Mike Morin has been acquired by the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash considerations. Morin was designated for assignment earlier in the week, but hasn't pitched bad for the Twins this season. Morin owns a 3.18 ERA in 23 appearances, but has only struck out 11 batters all season. He should […]

Adrian Morejon Called Up by Padres

San Diego Padres pitcher Adrian Morejon has been called up to the big leagues from Double-A. He will skip Triple-A and join the big league bullpen in San Diego. Morejon is one of the better pitching prospects in baseball right now, so he should be added in all dynasty leagues. He probably won't have great […]

Nathan Eovaldi Activated on Saturday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Saturday. He had surgery in April to remove loose bodies from his elbow. The Red Sox want to use Eovaldi out of the bullpen in high leverage situations. He could have some fantasy value as a closer in some […]

Jon Duplantier Activated, Optioned to Minors

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jon Duplantier (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Duplantier was activated, but optioned to Triple-A Reno following his activation from the injured list. He's pitched decent in both the starting rotation and bullpen for the D-Backs this season. He shouldn't be in the minors for too long, […]

Taylor Clarke Activated, Starting Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Clarke (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. He'll draw the start against the Milwaukee Brewers, but shouldn't be used in most fantasy leagues. Clarke heads into this start with a 6.21 ERA on the year. He's not expected to have much success against the Milwaukee […]

Buster Posey is Absent on Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. This appears to be just a routine day off for the veteran catcher. Stephen Vogt will draw the start behind the plate and bat cleanup versus righty Jacob deGrom. Vogt is not really worth […]

Mike Montgomery Making Debut for Royals

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Montgomery will make his debut with the team versus the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Montgomery was traded to the Royals from the Chicago Cubs earlier in the week in exchange for catcher Martin Maldonado. He has a rough 5.67 ERA, but hasn't pitched much this season. Montgomery is under […]

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Torres has been tough to slow down at […]

Jesse Chavez Demoted to Bullpen

Texas Rangers pitcher Jesse Chavez has been demoted to the bullpen after his rough outing during his last start. Chavez hasn't pitched well lately, so a move to the pen could help him out. Joe Palumbo will draw the start against the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Palumbo is expected to take over in the starting […]

David Dahl Scratched on Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (foot) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Friday. Dahl left Wednesday's game after fouling a ball off his foot and still isn't ready to play yet. However, he's considered day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the injured list. Garrett Hampson will draw the start in left field and […]

Nick Senzel Remains Out on Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is the second game in a row that Senzel has missed due to a hamstring strain. It's unclear when Senzel will get back in the lineup, but hopefully he'll be able to avoid landing […]

Jonathan Schoop Remains Out on Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (abdominal) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Schoop has not played since Tuesday due to an abdominal strain. Luiz Arraez will bat seventh and play second base versus righty Chris Bassitt. Arraez has been hitting over .300 in the last week, but […]

Andrew Benintendi Won't Play on Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Benintendi has been struggling with the bat this month, so he'll get the day off. Sam Travis will cover left field and bat sixth versus lefty John Means. Travis doesn't have enough upside to warrant […]

Willy Adames Sits on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Adames will get a routine day off here, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Joey Wendle will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Reynaldo Lopez. Wendle […]
