Pedro Strop Activated on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Strop missed almost four weeks of action due to a hamstring strain.

Carlos Gonzalez In The Lineup Again on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is back in the starting lineup for the second straight game. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Jeff Hoffman on Tuesday.

Brendan Rodgers is Getting the Night Off

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Rodgers has hit pretty well since being called up, but manager Bud Black enjoys playing the matchups. Ryan McMahon will cover second base and bat sixth versus righty Kyle Hendricks. McMahon has some appeal in […]

Mike Moustakas Returns on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Moustakas suffered a fracture in his right ring finger during Saturday's contest. However, the Brewers didn't place him on the injured list, so he's going to attempt to play through the issue. Moustakas will bat […]

Tommy Pham Remains Out on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Gregory Polanco is Out Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Cabrera has some DFS […]

Jimmy Nelson Recalled on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson has been recalled from Triple-A on Sunday. Nelson will be given the start versus the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Nelson pitched fairly well during his recent rehab assignment. He's worth grabbing in fantasy leagues against the Marlins. He's been solid in the past, so it's worth taking a flier […]

Joey Gallo Placed on Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Gallo tweaked his left oblique during Saturday's contest. The team is unsure how much time Gallo is going to miss. He'll likely be out at least a few weeks, but possibly more. Delino DeShields has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Matt Carpenter is Getting Some Rest

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Gregory Polanco is Out on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Nick Markakis Sitting Against Lefty

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Braves will give Markakis the day off against the left-handed starter. Switch hitting Johan Camargo will play right field and bat seventh versus lefty Matthew Boyd. Camargo won't have much fantasy value against Boyd in […]

Miguel Cabrera Remains Out on Sunday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Cabrera sat out on Saturday and also had an MRI on his right knee. Manager Ron Gardenhire said on Sunday that many different doctors are taking a look at the MRI results. The Tigers have […]

Mike Moustakas is Out on Sunday

Adam Eaton is Getting a Breather on Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This is a routine day off for Eaton to get some rest. Gerardo Parra will bat second and cover right field versus righty Sonny Gray on Sunday. Parra doesn't have strong numbers this season, but has […]

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.

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.

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.
