David Dahl is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Colorado is facing a left-handed starter, so that could be why Dahl is out in this one. Raimel Tapia will draw the start in left field and bat fifth versus lefty Derek Holland. Tapia is […]

Daniel Murphy is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Murphy was dealing with back stiffness over the weekend, but that doesn't appear to be holding him back anymore. This is most likely just a routine day off versus the left-handed starter. Mark Reynolds […]

Buster Posey Will Rest on Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This sounds like it is just a normal rest day for the veteran catcher. The Giants want to make sure Posey stays healthy, so they continue to give him plenty of rest days. Stephen Vogt […]

Martin Prado is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears this is just a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Neil Walker will play first base and bat third versus righty Kyle Hendricks. Walker is a decent cheap option for DFS contests since […]

Joel Embiid is Probable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) missed shootaround but is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors. Embiid is dealing with an upper-respiratory infection, but hopefully it won't hold him out. Embiid struggled in Game 4, but that was likely due to the illness. Hopefully he's closer to 100 percent for this game.

Pascal Siakam Will Play in Game 5

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (calf) will play in Game 5 versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. Head coach Nick Nurse announced that Siakam will play, but could be limited. Siakam may only play roughly 25 minutes in this contest, so we could see more of Serge Ibaka on Tuesday.

Khris Davis is Back on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Davis left Sunday's game against the Pirates after suffering a left hip contusion. Davis will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Tyler Mahle. Davis is always a threat to go deep […]

Ben Zobrist is Scratched on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Zobrist was replacing the left-handed hitting Kyle Schwarber versus lefty Caleb Smith. However, Zobrist is not playing due to a personal matter. Schwarber will bat eighth and play left field versus Smith. Schwarber is not a recommended fantasy option on […]

C.J. Cron Will Rest on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cron hasn't hit overly well this season besides his six home runs, so the Twins will rest their struggling slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will slide over to first base and bat sixth against righty Aaron […]

Melky Cabrera is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It does not appear that anything is wrong with Cabrera, but the Pirates want to give their veteran outfielder a day off. Bryan Reynolds will draw the start in left field and bat fifth versus righty […]

Nomar Mazara is Sitting Against Lefty

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mazara is fine, but the Rangers want to give him a day off and he's not overly great against left-handed pitching. Hunter Pence will draw the start in right field and bat cleanup versus lefty Steven […]

Kyle Schwarber is Sitting on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Fantasy owners can relax, as this is not injury-related. Schwarber is struggling at the plate, and facing lefty Caleb Smith isn't going to help his fantasy value. Ben Zobrist will draw the start in left field […]

Zack Cozart is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Cozart missed almost two weeks of action due to neck discomfort. He was struggling at the plate before the injury, so Cozart can be ignored in most fantasy leagues for the moment.

Lorenzo Cain Returns to the Lineup on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cain left early during Sunday's contest after taking a pitch off the hand. The X-rays were negative and Cain is back in the starting lineup for this one. Cain will lead off and play center field […]

Shohei Ohtani is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Ohtani has missed the first six weeks of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Ohtani is not going to pitch this summer, but he will serve as the designated hitter for the Angels. He's batting […]

Adrian Houser Will Be the Opener on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser will draw the start as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Houser is only expected to pitch an inning or two in this game. Righty Freddy Peralta will come in afterwards, so he's the better fantasy option out of the two. Peralta has struggled in the early […]

David Price Throws On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) threw on flat ground on Tuesday. Price landed on the injured list Monday due to tendinitis in his left elbow. It appears Price is going to miss a start or two, but hopefully nothing more than that. He's making progress and he feels good after throwing on […]

Matt Olson is Activated on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Olson suffered a hamate bone fracture during the first series of the season. The Athletics haven't announced their lineup yet, but Olson is expected to be in it. Fantasy owners may want to be patient with Olson because […]

Trea Turner is Hitting Off A Tee

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (finger) begin hitting off a tee two days ago. Turner was placed on the injured list April 3 due to a fracture in his right index finger. However, Turner is quickly making progress and could return to the Nats lineup by the middle of May.

David Robertson To Begin Throwing on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (elbow) is scheduled to begin a throwing program on Friday. Robertson landed on the injured list April 15 due to a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. There is a chance that Robertson is able to return to the bullpen by late May. Hector Neris seems to […]

Danuel House is Questionable for Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 4 versus the Golden State Warriors. He did not play in Game 3 on Saturday due to an inflamed toe. Iman Shumpert soaked up the extra minutes in that contest. Shumpert will likely do it again if House is unable to play.

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play in Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 versus the Boston Celtics. Brogdon hasn't played a game in this series yet, but is progressing. There is a chance that Brogdon is able to suit up for Wednesday's Game 5, but no promises. Nikola Mirotic will continue to draw the […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable for Game 4

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (oblique) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 4 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to get in some full-contact work, so Smart is looking good from Monday's game. His status is going to depend on how he feels towards game time, but this is a good sign.

Mohamed Bamba Has Recovered from Fractured Tibia

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (leg) has reportedly fully recovered from a stress fracture in his left tibia. Bamba has been getting in work such as shooting and jumping since April. It sounds like Bamba is on schedule to be fully healthy for the start of the season. Nikola Vucevic is hitting free agency is […]

Clint Frazier is Activated from Injured List

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Frazier is back after missing nearly two weeks due to a left ankle sprain. He was hitting .324/.342/.632 with six home runs and 17 RBI before suffering the injury. He's expected to be back in the Yankees lineup […]

Eloy Jimenez Will Need Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) will need to have a rehab assignment before returning to the big league roster. The team wants Jimenez to get in some at-bats in the minors before letting him return to the team. He's been out since April 26 due to a sprained ankle. It's unclear when Jimenez […]

Steven Matz Will Likely Miss One Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (forearm) is likely going to miss at least one start. The good news is there is no structural damage to his forearm, but Matz is still dealing with a nerve issue. He is likely going to be placed on the 10-day injured list. Matz has pitched fairly well […]

Jose Peraza Draws Start in Left Field

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza will move from his normal spot at second base to left field for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Outfielder Jesse Winker will get the day off against the left-hander Drew Pomeranz. Peraza has only played in the outfield twice this season, so the Reds could be taking a […]

Evan Longoria is Sitting Out on Monday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Longoria was a late scratch before Saturday's contest and hasn't played since then. It's unclear what's going on with him, but hopefully he's back in the lineup soon. Pablo Sandoval will draw the start […]

Buster Posey is Resting on Monday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Posey crushed a three-run bomb on Sunday, so this is clearly just a rest day for him. Stephen Vogt will draw the start behind the plate and bat third against righty Anthony DeSclafani. Vogt is […]
