Miguel Cabrera is Out on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. There is no designated hitter available while playing in Pittsburgh, so Cabrera will sit this one out. Cabrera has been dealing with some nagging injuries, so we could see more rest from him as the […]

Edwin Jackson Lands on Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran righty has been getting crushed lately, so this is probably a good move. Jacob Waguespack is expected to draw the start against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Jackson belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues.

Wilson Ramos Sits Out on Tuesday

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine day off for Ramos here. Tomas Nido will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Julio Teheran. Nido is not a fantasy option for Tuesday.

Giancarlo Stanton Activated, Starting Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Stanton has been sidelined since April due to various injuries. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Ryne Stanek. Stanton should supply some instant power to the Yankees lineup, but he might have some difficulty versus […]

J.T. Realmuto Sits Out on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Realmuto was hit with a ball in the groin on Saturday and has not played since then. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus lefty Patrick Corbin. This is not […]

Jay Bruce Remains Out on Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Bruce has not played since he tweaked his hamstring on Saturday. The Phillies don't expect Bruce to land on the injured list. Sean Rodriguez will cover left field and bat fifth versus lefty Patrick Corbin. There […]

Yandy Diaz is Out on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. This marks the second game in a row that Diaz has missed due to a hamstring issue. The Rays don't believe that Diaz is going to be sidelined for too long. Travis D'Arnaud will […]

Tyler Glasnow Throws Bullpen Session

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) threw another bullpen session on Tuesday. He reportedly felt good afterwards and is scheduled for his third session on Friday. He's coming along nicely and could be making a rehab appearance sooner rather than later. There is a chance that Glasnow is back in the starting rotation […]

Adam Wainwright Will Start on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (hamstring) will return to the starting rotation for Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. Wainwright has been sidelined the last week due to a hamstring issue. Michael Wacha will have his start pushed back a day. Wainwright normally isn't a great fantasy option, but could have some value […]

Jose Altuve Will Be Activated Wednesday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring, knee) will be activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Altuve landed on the injured list May 10 due to a left hamstring strain. He just finished a three game rehab stint and appears ready to play for the Astros again. He should be in the lineup […]

Tyler Chatwood Will Start Thursday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Tyler Chatwood will make the start against the New York Mets on Thursday. Kyle Hendricks (shoulder) landed on the injured list, so Chatwood will make a spot start here. Surprisingly, Chatwood has been reliable as a relief pitcher this season, but he's a risky DFS option as a starter.

Hunter Pence Lands on Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Pence suffered a strained right groin while chasing down a ball on Sunday. The veteran outfielder was having a surprisingly strong season at the plate. Hopefully, Pence won't be sidelined for too long. Shin-Soo Choo will bat leadoff and […]

Byron Buxton Sits Out on Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Buxton was hit by a pitch on Friday and has not played in a game since then. It does sound like he's able to play as a defensive replacement, but wouldn't bat. Max Kepler will […]

Maikel Franco is Sitting on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Franco has been struggling at the plate and will get a rest day here. Scott Kingery will cover third base and bat third versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Kingery is hitting over .400 in the last […]

Nick Senzel Returns to the Lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (eye) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. Senzel took a foul tip to his left eye during Saturday's game. He missed Sunday's contest, but will bat leadoff and play center field against lefty Wade Miley on Monday. Senzel has been reliable with the […]

Edwin Encarnacion Making Debut for Yankees Monday

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion will make his debut with his new team on Monday. Encarnacion was acquired from the Seattle Mariners on Saturday for righty pitcher Juan Then and cash considerations. He's crushed 21 home runs and 49 RBI this season, so he'll look to continue his strong season in New York. […]

Roman Quinn Activated on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Quinn missed almost two months of action due to a right groin strain. He'll play center field and bat sixth versus lefty Patrick Corbin on Monday. Quinn doesn't have great fantasy value, but his speed gives him some appeal.

Jerad Eickhoff Heads to Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jerad Eickhoff (bicep) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Eickhoff was demoted to the bullpen after a horrendous start last week. He was crushed during his relief appearance on Sunday as well. The injury is being called right biceps tendinitis, so we'll probably see Eickhoff sidelined for quite […]

Jay Bruce Sits Out Again

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Bruce tweaked his hamstring on Saturday and hasn't been able to play since then. The team is hopeful it's a minor issue and Bruce can avoid a trip to the injured list. Sean Rodriguez will play […]

J.T. Realmuto Remains Out on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Realmuto took a foul ball to the groin on Saturday and sat out on Sunday because of it. This doesn't sound like something that will sideline him for long. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind […]

Derek Law Named Opener for Monday

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Derek Law will draw the start against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. Law made a start last week and pitched one scoreless inning versus the Orioles. He'll attempt to do it again on Monday with Edwin Jackson following him out of the bullpen. Neither Law or Jackson are valuable fantasy […]

Andrew Benintendi Back on Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (quad) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Benintendi sat out of Sunday's contest due to a sore left quad. He'll bat second and play left field versus righty Jose Berrios on Monday. Fantasy owners can feel safe about plugging Benintendi back into […]

Jhoulys Chacin Activated on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Chacin missed almost of month of action due to a lower back strain. He'll draw the start against the San Diego Padres on Monday. Chacin has not been sharp this season and is a poor fantasy option here.

Justin Upton Activated, Starting Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (toe) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. Upton missed two and a half months due to a sprained toe. He will make his season debut versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Upton was crushing the ball during his rehab outings. He'll bat cleanup and […]

Caleb Smith Could Rejoin Rotation This Weekend

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith (hip) could rejoin the Marlins starting rotation as early as this weekend. Smith has missed almost two weeks of action due to left hip inflammation. Smith continues to throw and it sounds like the team doesn't plan on sending Smith for a rehab appearance. Elieser Hernandez or Jordan Yamamoto […]

Taylor Scott Named Opener on Monday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Taylor Scott has been named the opener for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Lefty Tommy Milone was supposed to draw the start, but he'll follow Scott out of the bullpen. Scott hasn't pitched well during his short time in the MLB, so expect Milone to pitch a majority of the […]

Mike Clevinger Activated, Starting Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (back) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. Clevinger was able to get through his rehab starts without any issues, so it sounds like he's ready to go. He'll draw the start against the Texas Rangers on Monday. Clevinger should be activated and plugged into all […]

Adam Jones is Getting A Breather

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. The veteran outfielder will get the day off to rest. Jarrod Dyson will slide over from his normal spot in center field and play right field in this one. Ketel Marte will cover center field and […]

David Peralta is Absent on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Peralta will receive a much deserved rest day on Sunday. Tim Locastro will draw the start in left field and bat sixth versus righty Anibal Sanchez. Locastro does not have enough upside to look at in […]

Archie Bradley Gets the Start on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Archie Bradley will draw the start against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. This will be an opener situation for the D-Backs, so Bradley won't pitch more than an inning or two. It's unclear who is coming in to follow Bradley in this one. Bradley came up as a starting pitcher, but […]
