Melky Cabrera Sitting Out on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran switch hitting outfielder is surprisingly hitting well this season. However, the Pirates will go with Bryan Reynolds in left field and batting fifth versus righty Chase Anderson. Reynolds is hitting for a high batting […]

Jesus Aguilar Gets A Breather

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The struggling slugger will get the night off to rest. Eric Thames will bat seventh and play first base versus righty Joe Musgrove. Thames is hitting better than Aguilar, but still not enough to trust […]

DeMarcus Cousins is Questionable for Game 1

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (quad) is listed as questionable for Game 1 versus the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Steve Kerr said that Cousins is "pain-free", but remains questionable for Thursday. The Warriors are going to limit his playing time, so don't expect to see big minutes from Cousins in this series. The team […]

OG Anunoby is Questionable for Game 1

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (appendectomy) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. Anunoby had his appendix rupture before surgery and the surgery had infection complications, so it's surprising to see him ready to play this soon. Pascal Siakam will still see plenty of playing time, so Anunoby should […]

Anibal Sanchez Activated, Starting Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Sanchez missed 10 days due to a left hamstring strain. He's posting a 5.10 ERA this season, so he won't be a reliable fantasy option. He'll draw the start versus the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. He should be avoided in […]

Tony Wolters is Out on Wednesday

Colorado Rockies catcher Tony Wolters (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Wolters was scratched before Tuesday's game due to a hand contusion. He'll sit out again on Wednesday, but hopefully he won't land on the injured list. Chris Iannetta will draw the start behind the plate and […]

Jacob Waguespack Placed on Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jacob Waguespack (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Waguespack left Monday's game early due to right shoulder soreness.

Jordan Lyles Expected to Start on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hamstring) is expected to make his next scheduled start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Lyles has been fantastic this season and should […]

Daniel Descalso is Sitting Out Versus Lefty

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. The veteran infielder is hitting .194 and has been awful at the plate in the month of May. David Bote will draw the start at second base and bat ninth versus lefty Wade Miley. Descalso can […]

Travis d'Arnaud Off on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Travis D'Arnaud (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. D'Arnaud has struggled to find his groove with the bat since joining the Rays. Veteran Erik Kratz will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Trent Thornton. Both d'Arnaud and […]

Scott Kingery Likely to Stay in the Outfield

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery has seen a good amount of time in the outfield lately, but that's not likely going to stop anytime soon. Odubel Herrera is on administrative leave, so that leaves the Phillies without a center fielder. Kingery was basically playing every day anyway, but he's a full time outfielder without Herrera. […]

Genesis Cabrera Recalled, Starting Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Genesis Cabrera has been recalled from Triple-A and will draw the start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Cabrera had a 6.35 ERA at Triple-A before being recalled. He's taking the spot of Michael Wacha, who has been demoted to the bullpen. Cabrera is a poor DFS option for Wednesday […]

Rio Ruiz Sitting Versus Lefty

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Rio Ruiz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This is the O's playing matchups and going with the right-handed bat versus the lefty pitcher. Hanser Alberto will play third base and bat leadoff against lefty Ryan Carpenter. Alberto has been hitting surprisingly well […]

Gordon Beckham Resting on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Gordon Beckham (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran infielder. Niko Goodrum will bat leadoff and play shortstop versus lefty John Means. Goodrum won't be a reliable DFS option versus Means on Wednesday.

Alex Verdugo Won't Play on Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Verdugo left Saturday's game early due to tightness in his back. He's sitting out on Sunday due to the same reason, but should return on Monday. Enrique Hernandez will play center field and bat seventh […]

Kenta Maeda Activated, Starting Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (thigh) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Maeda was only forced to miss 10 days with the thigh issue, so that's good news for the Dodgers. He'll draw the start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Maeda comes into this contest with a 3.51 […]

Michael Conforto Activated, Starting Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (concussion) has been activated from the 7-day injured list on Sunday. Conforto was on the concussion list, but has been symptom free for a few days.

Francisco Cervelli is Sitting Out

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (concussion) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cervelli was hit in the head on a backswing during Saturday's game and left with concussion symptoms. There is a good chance that Cervelli lands on the injured list. Elias Diaz will draw the start […]

Pete Alonso Getting A Breather on Sunday

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The slugging rookie will get the day off to rest, but will be back in there next game. Dominic Smith will play first base and bat second versus righty Spencer Turnbull. Smith is actually […]

Oscar Mercado is Back in the Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Mercado bruised his right hip on Thursday and missed both Friday and Saturday because of it. However, he's feeling good enough to get back into the lineup here. He'll bat second and play left field […]

Lorenzo Cain is Sitting Out on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Just a routine day off for Cain here, so fantasy owners don't need to worry. Ben Gamel will bat leadoff and play center field versus righty Zach Eflin. Gamel has been average with the bat, but […]

Miguel Cabrera Gets Day Off on Sunday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Cabrera was at first base during the first two games at Citi Field, but will sit this one out. Brandon Dixon will bat sixth and play first base versus righty Zack Wheeler. Dixon is […]

Chris Paddack Scratched on Sunday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack (neck) has been scratched from his scheduled start versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Paddack reportedly woke up with a stiff neck, so the Padres will push him back to Wednesday against the Yankees just to be safe. Robbie Erlin will make the start versus the Jays […]

Franmil Reyes is Out of the Lineup Again

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Reyes is dealing with left shoulder soreness after tweaking it on a swing a few games ago. The Padres are considering Reyes day-to-day at the moment, so he won't be put on the injured list. Josh Naylor […]

Miguel Sano is Resting on Sunday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Sano is getting a routine day off, so fantasy owners don't need to be alarmed about any injury. Williams Astudillo will cover third base and bat seventh versus righty Dylan Covey. Astudillo doesn't have […]

Mitch Keller Recalled, Starting Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller has been recalled from Triple-A and will make his major league debut on Monday versus the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates play a doubleheader on Monday, so it's unclear which game Keller is starting. He could be an interesting DFS option and could be worth stashing in fantasy leagues. There […]

Greg Allen Recalled on Saturday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Greg Allen has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. The switch hitting outfielder struggled with team earlier in the season. Allen hit .105 with six runs knocked in during his stint with the Tribe in April. He should see more playing time with Carlos Gonzalez being designated for assignment. However, the Indians […]

Josh Naylor Gets the Start in Right Field

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Naylor will draw the start in right field versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Naylor normally plays first base, but he won't get too many chances at first with Eric Hosmer there. Franmil Reyes (rest) will get the day off, but should be back in there on Sunday. […]

Jorge Polanco is Out on Saturday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Polanco is hitting .339 with nine home runs and 26 knocked in, so this is just a routine day off for him. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus lefty […]
