Erick Fedde Could Move to Nats Bullpen

Washington Nationals pitcher Erick Fedde was called up for an emergency appearance on Sunday and was fantastic out of the bullpen. Fedde was once a top prospect not too long ago, but hasn't experienced much success in the MLB. He's scheduled to start for Double-A on Friday, but the Nationals may want to convert him […]

Derek Holland Lands on Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Derek Holland (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Holland suffered a left index finger bone bruise in spring training and has been lingering ever since then. Tyler Beede is expected to take Holland's turn in the rotation against the Reds on Friday. Beede has been fantastic in […]

A.J. Pollock is Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Pollock has been cold to start the season, so the Dodgers will elect to go with the hot bat here. Alex Verdugo will play center field and bat seventh versus righty Jeff Samardzija. Verdugo […]

Lucas Giolito Throws Bullpen Session on Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) was able to throw a bullpen session on Monday. Giolito has been sidelined almost two weeks after he tweaked his hamstring. However, Giolito could avoid going on a rehab assignment if he comes away from this bullpen session without any issues.

Luke Gregerson Likely to Be Activated on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has joined the team on Monday and could be activated on Tuesday. Gregerson was pitching elite during his rehab appearances, so it sounds like he's ready to return to the Red Birds bullpen. Gregerson won't have a bunch of fantasy value, but could be helpful if he's […]

Christian Yelich Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Yelich exited early on Sunday after tweaking his back while running the bases. The good news is, Yelich is considered day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the 10-day injured list. Ben Gamel will cover right field […]

Nelson Cruz Gets Night Off

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The veteran slugger is getting the night off, but should be back on Tuesday. Eddie Rosario will bat third and serve as the designated hitter against righty Justin Verlander. Rosario is in a great spot […]

Wil Myers Resting on Monday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It appears the Padres are just giving Myers a normal day off. Hunter Renfroe will bat fifth and play left field versus righty Mike Soroka. DFS players can avoid most of the Padres hitters because […]

Robinson Cano is Not Playing on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Cano was hit in the wrist by a pitch on Sunday, so it's not surprising to see him sitting out here. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Cano should only miss a few […]

Mitch Moreland is Out on Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Moreland, so he should be back in the lineup soon. Michael Chavis will cover first base and bat sixth against righty Frankie Montas. Chavis […]

Dexter Fowler is Sitting Out on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The Cardinals have too many outfielders and not enough spots, so someone has to sit out. Harrison Bader will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Bader won't have much fantasy upside […]

Klay Thompson Will Play on Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (ankle) will play in Sunday's Game 1 versus the Houston Rockets. Thompson was a game-time decision due to a right ankle sprain. He was able to go through pre-game warmups without any issues. Thompson will play on Sunday, but there's a chance he's limited depending on how the game […]

Austin Rivers Ruled Out for Game 1

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors. Rivers has been playing a fairly decent role off the bench, so losing him could hurt a bit. Iman Shumpert, Gerald Green, and Danuel House will see more minutes. Chris Paul and James Harden will be […]

Stephen Curry Will Play in Game 1

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's Game 1 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. Curry tweaked his right ankle during Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, Curry was able to finish out the game, so it appears the ankle injury was minor. Curry is fine for Sunday's […]

Rich Hill Activated, Starting on Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. This marks Hill's first start of the season as he's been sidelined all year with a lingering knee issue. He's not exactly the most reliable fantasy option out there. Fantasy owners should have a couple other options […]

Francisco Cervelli Won't Play on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's Sunday, so plenty of the starters around the league are getting the day off. Elias Diaz will bat sixth and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Rich Hill. Diaz doesn't have much […]

Ben Zobrist is Resting on Sunday

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs will give their veteran utility player the day off. Kris Bryant will slide over to right field and bat second versus righty Luke Weaver. Bryant is always a threat to do damage for fantasy […]

Mitch Haniger is Out on Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Haniger will get the day off to rest, so Jay Bruce will fill in over at right field. Bruce will bat fifth against righty Lance Lynn. He's going to be a solid DFS option against Lynn […]

Buster Posey Will Sit Out on Sunday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. This is just a normal day off for Posey, so fantasy owners don't have to worry about any injury. Erik Kratz will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Domingo […]

Robinson Cano Exits Early on Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) was forced to exit early after getting hit by a pitch in the hand during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Cano was clearly in pain and will go for X-rays to get a better idea of the injury. Fantasy owners should have more information about the […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Remains Out on Sunday

Texas Rangers infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The Rangers wanted Cabrera to get back out there on Sunday, but it doesn't appear he's ready to play yet. The Rangers are off on Monday, so possibly Cabrera can get out there on Tuesday. Logan […]

Joey Gallo is Resting on Sunday

Texas Rangers first baseman Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The Rangers will give Gallo two days to rest as Texas doesn't play on Monday. Danny Santana will play first base and bat sixth versus righty Erik Swanson. Santana doesn't have enough upside to use […]

Erick Fedde Recalled on Sunday

Washington Nationals pitcher Erick Fedde has been recalled from Double-A on Sunday. Ryan Zimmerman (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, so Fedde was recalled in a corresponding move. Fedde used to be a top prospect, but hasn't done much with his chances at the MLB level. Most fantasy owners can afford to […]

Jon Duplantier Recalled on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jon Duplantier has been recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday. Righty Matt Koch has been designated for assignment after an awful start to the season. Koch had a 9.15 ERA in a little over 20 innings of work. Duplantier has nasty stuff, so he could fit in the bullpen or rotation. He's […]

Ryan Zimmerman Lands on Injured List

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. That is an issue that can only really be fixed by rest, so the Nats made the right call here. Matt Adams will cover first base on Sunday and bat […]

Ian Kinsler Sitting Out on Sunday

San Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. It appears this is just a normal off day for the veteran slugger. Greg Garcia will cover second base and bat second versus righty Jeremy Hellickson. Garcia won't have much upside in DFS contests […]

Ender Inciarte is Sitting Against Lefty

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Inciarte will sit out versus lefty Tyler Anderson, which is not surprising to see. Ronald Acuna Jr. will slide over to center field and bat cleanup, while Johan Camargo covers left field and bats sixth. Acuna […]

Freddy Galvis Remains Out on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Freddy Galvis (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Galvis has been out of the lineup the last few days while nursing a lingering hamstring issue. Eric Sogard will play shortstop and bat first against righty Chris Bassitt. Sogard doesn't have much upside in […]

Neil Walker Sitting Out on Sunday

Miami Marlins first baseman Neil Walker (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This appears to be a normal rest day for Walker, so expect him back soon. Martin Prado will slide over to first base and bat second versus righty Zach Eflin. Prado is a decent DFS […]

David Hess Will Start on Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher David Hess will rejoin the starting rotation for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Hess was demoted after going 1-4 with a 5.88 ERA to start the season. However, Alex Cobb (back) landed on the injured list, so Hess will make the start on Wednesday. He's not worth grabbing in […]
