Buster Posey is Out on Sunday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Posey tweaked his hamstring on Saturday, so the Giants are going to give him a few days to rest. Hopefully Posey can get back out there on Tuesday or Wednesday, but we'll see what happens. […]

Jhoulys Chacin Placed on Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Chacin is dealing with a lower back strain, so the Brewers will give him some time off to rest. Chacin has struggled this season, so this move could be good for both the Brewers and Chacin. It's unclear who will […]

Andre Iguodala Expected to be Fine for Game 2

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (leg) aggravated his left leg injury during Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The Warriors said that the MRI came back clean, so Iggy should be fine for Game 2 on Sunday. Kevin Durant (calf) has already been ruled out, so Iggy will play a big role without Durant […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out for Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has been officially ruled out for Game 2 against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. He was already listed as doubtful, so this news won't come as a shock to anyone. The Warriors are hopeful to get Durant back by halfway through the series, but that depends on how […]

Josh Jackson is Day-to-Day

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (foot) is reportedly considered day-to-day after tweaking his foot. The young forward was seen with crutches on Friday, but that sounds like a precautionary move. Jackson has been rumored to be on the trade block this summer and hasn't lived up to his hype in Phoenix.

Jeimer Candelario is Sitting Out on Saturday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Candelario was demoted earlier this month, but was recalled a few days ago after a strong showing in the minors. Dawel Lugo will draw the start at third base and bat sixth versus righty Mike […]

John Hicks Starting at First Base on Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman John Hicks will draw the start against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Miguel Cabrera (knee) is out of the lineup and will undergo an MRI on Saturday. Hopefully Cabrera will be able to avoid the injured list, but we could see the Tigers be cautious with their veteran slugger. Hicks will […]

Victor Robles is Resting on Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Robles is hitting for a disappointing batting average this season, but has done well in the power category. Robles has eight home runs and plenty of speed as well. Gerardo Parra will bat seventh and play […]

Guillermo Heredia is Starting on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Guillermo Heredia is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is out of the lineup, so that opens up a spot for Heredia. Ji-Man Choi will bat cleanup and cover the designated hitter role for Garcia on Saturday. Heredia will bat ninth and play […]

Melky Cabrera Back in the Lineup on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran switch hitting outfielder is back in the lineup after sitting out on Thursday. Cabrera is hitting .318 with 3 home runs and 18 knocked in this season. He'll bat fifth and play left field versus […]

Jordan Luplow is Out on Saturday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Jordan Luplow (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Luplow has surprisingly hit for some power this season, but hasn't done much else with the bat. Oscar Mercado will bat second and play right field versus righty Ivan Nova. Mercado doesn't offer much power […]

Avisail Garcia is Sidelined on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Garcia was scratched before Friday's game, but the issue sounds like a day-to-day injury. Ji-Man Choi will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus righty Kyle Gibson on Saturday. DFS players should be […]

Tommy Pham is Out on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Pham tweaked his leg on Thursday, and was not able to suit up during Friday's contest. The MRI came back clean, so the Rays are just going to give Pham a few days to rest. […]

Brendan Rodgers is Out on Friday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodgers is hitting .303/.361/.364 since being called up, so he's not sitting out due to poor performance. Manager Bud Black feels that Ryan McMahon is a better option for Friday's contest. McMahon will bat sixth […]

Mike Freeman is Starting at Third Base

Cleveland Indians infielder Mike Freeman is drawing a rare start for the Tribe in Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Freeman normally only plays on rest days for Jose Ramirez. However, Ramirez is sliding over to designated hitter for this contest, so that opens up third base for Freeman. The veteran lefty infielder will […]

Gordon Beckham is Sitting Out on Friday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Gordon Beckham (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran infielder has been struggling with the bat this season and has seen his playing time getting reduced. Niko Goodrum will bat leadoff and play shortstop versus righty Mike Foltynewicz. Goodrum has not swung the […]

Willians Astudillo Moves Up in the Batting Order

Minnesota Twins catcher Willians Astudillo is drawing the start behind the plate against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Astudillo is a catcher that can actually play multiple positions around the diamond. However, he usually bats fairly low in the order, which hurts his fantasy value. He's batting third and starting behind the plate versus […]

Tucker Barnhart Gets Day Off on Friday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Barnhart is having a rough month of May, so the Reds are trying other options behind the plate. Curt Casali will bat sixth and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Casali is […]

Jacob Stallings Gets Rare Start on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Jacob Stallings will draw the start behind the plate versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Stallings was called up to back up catcher Elias Diaz, while Francisco Cervelli (concussion) is sidelined. Stallings will do the catching and bat seventh against righty Jhoulys Chacin. He's surprisingly hitting well during his limited time in […]

Melky Cabrera Remains Out of the Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran switch hitting outfielder will get the night off once again. He did come off the bench on Thursday and collect a hit during his pinch-hit appearance. Bryan Reynolds will draw the start in left […]

Kevin Durant is Unlikely for Game 2

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has already been ruled out for Game 1 against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. It sounds like Durant is unlikely going to be ready for Game 2 as well. Head coach Steve Kerr said Durant hasn't practiced with the team yet, so he's unlikely to suit up for […]

Andre Iguodala Will Play in Game 1

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (calf) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Game 1 versus the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. Iggy has be given nine days to recover from his minor calf issue. He's going to need to play big minutes with Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined in Game 1. […]

DeMarcus Cousins is Available for Game 1

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (quad) has been cleared to play in Game 1 versus the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. He was a full participant at shootaround, but will likely be limited in this contest. Head coach Steve Kerr has not said whether or not Cousins would start in this game. However, Cousins has […]

Christian Arroyo Recalled, Starting Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Christian Arroyo has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. Arroyo is hitting .214 during his short stint with the Rays this season. He'll bat sixth and play third base against lefty Martin Perez. Fantasy owners can avoid Arroyo at the moment since it doesn't appear he's going to offer much […]

Jordan Lyles Will Throw Bullpen Session on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. Assuming everything goes well, Lyles is scheduled to make the start against the Brewers on Sunday. He was pulled from his start on Monday due to hamstring tightness. Hopefully everything turns out well because Lyles has been fantastic this […]

Corey Seager is Out Against Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. This is mostly just a routine day off for Seager, but the Dodgers are facing a lefty starter, so it's a good day to let Seager rest. Chris Taylor will bat leadoff and play […]

Justin Turner is Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. The veteran infielder gets a breather versus lefty Jason Vargas. Max Muncy will fill in at third base and bat second against Vargas. Muncy won't have much upside in this one, despite batting […]

Jonathan Lucroy Will DH on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy will move from his normal position at catcher and serve as the designated hitter on Thursday. The veteran catcher will take the place of Shohei Ohtani, who is sitting this one out. Dustin Garneau will serve as the catcher and bat eighth versus lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Lucroy bats fifth […]

Leonys Martin is Resting on Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The speedy veteran outfielder will get the day off against the left-handed pitcher. Oscar Mercado will play center field and bat second versus lefty Manny Banuelos. Mercado is a decent cheap DFS option for Thursday's […]

Luis Arraez is Starting At Second Base

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez will draw the start at second base against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. Arraez will bat sixth versus veteran righty Charlie Morton. Jonathan Schoop who normally plays second will serve as the designated hitter and bat third in this matchup. Arraez has been solid with the bat in his […]
