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 […]

J.T. Realmuto Won't Play on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Realmuto took a foul tip off his groin on Saturday, so he won't be in the lineup for this one. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so Realmuto is considered day-to-day at the moment. Andrew […]

Elvis Andrus is Sitting Against Reds

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Andrus has been fantastic at the plate this season, so he's earned a rest day. Danny Santana will cover shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Sonny Gray. Santana continues to get on base, but doesn't hit […]

Asdrubal Cabrera is Out on Sunday

Texas Rangers third baseman Asdrubal Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Cabrera has been playing basically every day at third base, so he's earned a few days off. Logan Forsythe will cover third base and bat fifth versus righty Sonny Gray. Forsythe has one hit in […]

Wilson Ramos is Absent Against Cardinals

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Ramos gets a regular day off here like many starters do on Sunday. Tomas Nido will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Dakota Hudson. Nido is not a reliable […]

Jeff McNeil, Amed Rosario Out on Sunday

New York Mets infielders Jeff McNeil (rest) and Amed Rosario (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Both McNeil and Rosario are getting routine off days here. Dominic Smith will bat leadoff and play left field, while Adeiny Hechavarria plays shortstop and bats sixth versus righty Dakota […]

Kole Calhoun is Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Calhoun has slugged 14 home runs this season, but is hitting a rough .229 on the year. He'll receive a routine day off to rest here. Brian Goodwin will cover right field and bat […]

Adam Frazier Gets Off Day

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. Frazier gets a routine day off here, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Colin Moran will cover second base and bat fifth, while Jung Ho Kang plays third base and bats […]

Corey Dickerson is Sitting on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The Pirates have too many outfielders and not enough spots, so Dickerson is the odd man out here. Melky Cabrera will play left field and bat third versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Cabrera has been reliable for […]

Starling Marte is Absent Versus Marlins

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. This appears to be a routine day off here, so no injuries to report on Marte. Bryan Reynolds will cover center field and bat second versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Reynolds has 11 hits in his last […]

Miguel Cabrera Resting on Sunday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Cabrera will sit this one out and the Tigers are off on Monday, so he'll get two days of rest. Nicholas Castellanos will serve as the designated hitter and bat third versus righty Trevor Bauer. […]

Nick Senzel is Out on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (eye) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. He left Saturday's game after a foul ball bounced off the dirt and hit him in the left eye. Luckily, the injury sounds like a day-to-day issue, so he won't be sidelined for long. Jesse Winker […]

Jose Iglesias Could Miss A Few Games

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Iglesias (personal) has been placed on the paternity leave list, so he won't be in Sunday's lineup against the Texas Rangers. Iglesias could miss up to three games, so fantasy owners should be aware of that. Jose Peraza will play shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Ariel Jurado on Sunday. Peraza […]

Jay Bruce Should Avoid Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (hamstring) is expected to avoid a trip to the injured list. Bruce left Saturday's game due to left hamstring tightness. The injury is considered day-to-day, so the Phillies hope that he just needs a few days off to rest. Nick Williams will cover left field and bat sixth versus righty […]

Robinson Cano Activated, Starting Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quad) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Cano has been banged up all season it seems like, so hopefully it's behind him now. He'll bat fifth and play second base versus righty Dakota Hudson. It's surprising to see Cano lower than the three spot […]

Noah Syndergaard Placed on Injured List

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Syndergaard suffered a right hamstring strain during Saturday's start. The team only expects him to miss one start, but he'll undergo an MRI on Sunday. More information about his timetable should be known after the MRI.

Andrew Benintendi Scratched from Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The team has not announced why Benintendi is out of the lineup. Eduardo Nunez will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth versus lefty John Means. Nunez has one hit over his last […]

Nomar Mazara to Undergo MRI

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. Maraza has been dealing with right hamstring tightness lately, so the team would like to see how severe it is. Hunter Pence will play right field and bat third versus righty Sonny Gray on Sunday. Pence has been tough to stop […]

Tommy La Stella Returns to the Lineup

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella (forearm) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. La Stella missed the last two games with tightness in his left arm. He will bat leadoff and play second base versus righty Ryne Stanek on Sunday. La Stella is a strong fantasy […]

Marcell Ozuna Sits on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. This is a rare day off for Ozuna, so he should be back in there next game. Jose Martinez will cover left field and bat cleanup versus lefty Jason Vargas. Martinez has just 14 […]

Jake Faria Recalled on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Faria has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Faria has pitched most of the season in Triple-A despite starting the season with Tampa Bay. Faria has a 5.14 ERA in six starts and nine relief appearances. He's someone that could pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen or make a […]

Jonathan Lucroy Sits on Saturday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Lucroy is having a down year and will get a routine day off here. Kevan Smith will draw the start behind the plate and bat cleanup versus righty Charlie Morton. Smith is in a […]

Tyler Glasnow Throws Off The Mound

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) threw off the mound to a catcher from roughly 50 feet on Saturday. Glasnow landed on the injured list May 10 due to a right forearm strain. Glasnow avoided Tommy John surgery and could begin throwing bullpen sessions next week. He was fantastic before getting injured, so […]

Brandon Lowe is Sitting on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Lowe will get a routine day off here against the left-handed starter. Joey Wendle will take over second base and bat ninth versus lefty Jose Suarez. Wendle isn't a great DFS option here, […]

Cody Allen Designated for Assignment

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Cody Allen has been designated for assignment. Allen began the season as the Opening Day closer, but quickly fell from grace. He signed a one year deal with Los Angeles in the off-season, so not a huge loss for the team. He had a 6.29 ERA in 25 appearances and […]
