Josh Donaldson Suspended One Game

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (suspension) has been suspended one game for his involvement in the benches clearing incident versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.

Kevin Durant Expected to Play in Game 5

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) is expected to be able to suit up for Monday's Game 5 versus the Toronto Raptors. He was able to get through parts of shootaround, but left early to get treatment. Durant has been sidelined about a month after suffering a calf injury during the playoffs. Durant is […]

Aaron Judge Could Begin Rehab Work This Weekend

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as early as this weekend, according to manager Aaron Boone. Judge continues to increase his workload and should be rejoining the Yankees roster soon. Fantasy owners just need to stay patient because Judge isn't far behind from getting back into uniform for the […]

Albert Almora Jr. Sits on Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Almora has seen quite a lot of rest lately with veteran Carlos Gonzalez getting more playing time. Gonzalez will bat fifth and play right field versus righty German Marquez on Monday. Gonzalez hit his first […]

Willson Contreras is Getting A Day Off

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Cubs will give their young slugging catcher the day off, but he could be available off the bench. Victor Caratini will draw the start behind the plate and bat sixth versus righty German Marquez. Caratini […]

Odrisamer Despaigne to Start on Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne will make the start versus the Washington Nationals on Monday. The veteran righty has poor numbers in the MLB, but has pitched well during his time in the minors. Despaigne has a 3.34 ERA through 11 starts in the minors this season. He's not a trustworthy fantasy option, […]

Willy Adames is Absent on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Adames has been average with the bat this season, but remains the everyday guy at shortstop. Daniel Robertson will slide over to shortstop and bat ninth versus righty Tanner Anderson. Robertson doesn't have much fantasy […]

Tanner Anderson to Debut on Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Tanner Anderson will make his MLB debut versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. It sounds like this will be a spot start for Anderson, so he won't likely be up for long. Anderson is carrying a 6.26 ERA at Triple-A this season, so DFS players and fantasy owners can go […]

Dexter Fowler is Getting Rest on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Fowler hasn't put together much success at the plate this season, so the Cardinals will go with another look. Jose Martinez will draw the start in right field and bat second versus righty Sandy Alcantara. […]

Giovanny Urshela is Out on Monday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. This appears to be a routine day off for Urshela, so he should be back in there soon. DJ LeMahieu will bat leadoff and slide over to third base versus lefty Jason Vargas. […]

Masahiro Tanaka Activated on Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (personal) has been activated off the paternity leave list on Monday. Tanaka had a child over the weekend, but is back with the team and ready to make the start against the New York Mets on Monday. Fantasy owners can feel safe about plugging Tanaka back into their […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Resting on Monday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Choo has only two career hits off starter Chris Sale, so he'll take a seat in this one. Danny Santana will play left field and bat second against Sale. Santana has actually been reliable with […]

J.D. Martinez Returns on Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) returns to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Martinez missed four games due to back spasms, but appears fine to suit up for this one. He'll bat third and serve as the designated hitter against lefty Mike Minor. Fantasy owners can go ahead and […]

Adam Jones is Returning to the Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Jones was sidelined nearly a week due to a right hamstring issue. He'll play right field and bat cleanup versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. Jones could make for an interesting DFS option while batting in the cleanup […]

Nick Ahmed is Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (foot) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ahmed left Sunday's game early due to left foot discomfort. Ketel Marte will draw the start at shortstop and bat second versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. Marte has been surprisingly hitting for power this season, and is […]

Yadier Molina Could Play This Weekend

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (thumb) said there is a chance that he's able to play this weekend. Molina has been sidelined with a right thumb injury, but he reportedly isn't feeling pain anymore. It doesn't sound like the Cardinals plan to send Molina on a rehab assignment. Rest and patience is going to […]

Elieser Hernandez Named Tuesday's Starter

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez will make the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Lefty Caleb Smith (hip) is sidelined, so Hernandez will make the fill-in start here. Hernandez posted a 1.12 ERA and 69/14 K/BB line in the minors this season. He could be a cheap DFS option for Tuesday, but […]

Giancarlo Stanton is Beginning Rehab Work on Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Tuesday. Stanton is scheduled to play on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. He'll likely move up to Triple-A on Friday and could be back in the Yankees lineup by the end of next week. Stanton continues to […]

Paul DeJong is Sitting on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (rest) is going to sit out of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. DeJong has struggled at the plate lately, so giving him a breather is not a bad idea. Yairo Munoz will play shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Munoz has been reliable off the bench, […]

Nick Markakis is Out on Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. This will be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. Matt Joyce will cover right field and bat eighth versus righty Pablo Lopez. Joyce has been decent with the bat, but won't be a trustworthy […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Out on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is a routine day off for Guerrero, so he should be back in there next game. Brandon Drury will cover third base and bat ninth against lefty Robbie Ray. Drury isn't much […]

Rafael Devers, Brock Holt Out on Sunday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) and second baseman Brock Holt (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Both players will get the day off against the left-handed starter. Eduardo Nunez will cover third base and bat fifth, while Marco Hernandez plays second base and […]

Robinson Cano Heads Back to Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The Mets gave Cano a few days to rest, but the left quad injury didn't improve at all. This is Cano's second time landing on the injured list in the last three weeks. Adeiny Hechavarria will cover second base […]

Domingo German Lands on Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. German is battling a left hip flexor strain which could explain why he's struggled over the last few starts. German is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, so more information should be known then. Chance Adams is the […]

J.D. Martinez Remains Out on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Martinez hasn't played in a game since leaving Thursday's contest due to back spasms. It doesn't sound like the Red Sox plan to put Martinez on the injured list. Christian Vazquez will serve as […]

Tommy Pham is Back in the Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Pham sat out the second game of the doubleheader on Saturday after taking a pitch to the wrist earlier in the day. He'll be in left field and bat second versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez […]

Kevin Kiermaier, Austin Meadows Out on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Kevin Kiermaier (rest) and Austin Meadows (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Nick Senzel Resting on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This is Senzel's first day off since being recalled from the minors. Jose Peraza will cover center field and bat seventh versus righty Aaron Nola. Peraza is having a rough year and isn't worth looking at […]

Jay Bruce Remains in the Lineup on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce remains in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The newly acquired Bruce has four home runs in four games with Philly. He was not doing much at the plate before the trade, but now he's one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Bruce will bat sixth […]

Yasiel Puig is Resting on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Puig will get a routine day off here, but he's been pretty awful at the plate all season anyway. Jesse Winker will slide over to right field and bat fifth, while Josh VanMeter plays left field […]
