Robinson Cano is Out of the Lineup on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cano is reportedly still sore after being hit with a pitch in the hand on Sunday. The test came back clean, so Cano is just day-to-day at the moment. Jeff McNeil will bat second […]

Dwight Smith Jr. Sitting Out on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. (quad) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Smith left early during Sunday's game after experiencing tightness in his quad. The Orioles are considering him day-to-day right now, but that could change. Joey Rickard will bat first and be in center field […]

Austin Meadows Will Not Need Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (thumb) will not need surgery on his sprained right thumb. GM Erik Neander believes that Meadows should be able to return in a few weeks. He was placed on the injured list on Sunday, so we'll wait and see what happens. Meadows was crushing the ball, hitting .351/.422/.676 with […]

Danny Duffy Will Rejoin Rotation on Friday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (shoulder) will rejoin the starting rotation versus the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Duffy pitched well during his rehab outing, so the Royals feel he's ready to return. He was able to throw almost 80 pitches during his rehab start. He should be able to surpass that number […]

Blake Snell Will Be Activated on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (toe) will be activated from the injured list when he's first eligible on Wednesday. Snell was able to throw another bullpen session on Monday without any issues. He likely won't pitch until this weekend, but fantasy owners won't have to be without Snell for much longer.

Kyle Freeland Lands on Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Freeland is dealing with a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. Tyler Anderson (knee) has been activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. He'll make the start for Colorado against the Nationals on Monday. There […]

Tyler Anderson is Activated on Monday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Anderson missed a few weeks of action due to left knee inflammation. He heads into this start with an 11.00 ERA, so he doesn't make for a great fantasy option. He'll face off against the Nationals on Monday.

Jean Segura Headed to Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The move is retroactive to Wednesday since Segura's last game was on Tuesday. Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the injured list as well, so the Phillies are thin at shortstop. Phil Gosselin will bat seventh and play shortstop against […]

Scott Kingery Lands on Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kingery suffered a right hamstring strain during Friday's contest. Kingery had an MRI on Saturday, but the results have not been announced yet. He's likely going to miss a few weeks which is a big blow to fantasy owners since Kingery […]

Matt Shoemaker Exits Early on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker (knee) exits early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Shoemaker needed help getting off the field after injuring his left knee during a rundown. He was off to a fantastic start, so this is frustrating news for fantasy owners. It's unclear if Shoemaker will miss any time, […]

Starling Marte Placed on Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (abdominal) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Marte crashed into shortstop Erik Gonzalez during Friday's game and suffered an abdominal contusion. Marte has struggled at the plate this season, so maybe some time off will help him. It's unclear how long Marte will be out, but this seems […]

Brock Holt Suffers Setback

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) has suffered a setback during his rehab assignment. Holt is suffering from a scratched cornea, but apparently his new contact lens are not effective. The Sox could really use Holt right now with the team banged up, but it appears they will have to wait a little longer.

Jordan Lyles Expected to Make Next Start

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hand) is expected to make his next start following a hand injury he suffered on Friday. Lyles was hit with a comebacker during Friday's contest, but it appears to be a minor contusion. He was able to play catch on Saturday and should be fine for his next start. […]

Aaron Judge Will Undergo MRI

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) will undergo an MRI after injuring himself on a swing during Saturday's game. Judge was pulled from Saturday's contest due to what's being called a left oblique injury. It would be surprising if Judge doesn't land on the injured list for a few weeks. Fantasy owners should stay […]

Joel Embiid is Doubtful for Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as doubtful for Game 4 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Embiid was listed as doubtful for Game 1, but still managed to play. However, he missed Game 3, so who knows what's going on with him. Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris would see a higher usage […]

Blake Griffin is Questionable for Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Griffin has not played in the playoffs yet this season due to left knee soreness. The Pistons are getting crushed in this series, so having Griffin would be huge for them. Thon Maker would likely start again […]

Hanley Ramirez Designated for Assignment on Saturday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Hanley Ramirez has been designated for assignment on Saturday. Shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has activated from the 10-day injured list, so Ramirez was cut to clear up a roster spot. Ramirez saw 57 plate appearances in Cleveland, but managed just a .184/.298/.327, so it's tough to overlook that. He may bounce […]

Brandon Nimmo Back in the Lineup on Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be Nimmo's first game back in action since leaving Tuesday's contest due to a stiff neck. Nimmo will bat first and play center field versus right Miles Mikolas. DFS players should strongly […]

Jacob deGrom Plays Catch on Saturday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) was able to play catch on Saturday and is set for an MRI on Monday. It's a good sign that deGrom was able to play catch, so hopefully his elbow issue isn't too serious. He felt some pain in his elbow on Thursday and has been placed […]

Francisco Lindor Activated on Saturday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Lindor has been battling minor leg injuries, but seems good to go now. The team has designated Hanley Ramirez to clear a roster spot for Lindor. Fantasy owners should go ahead and adjust their lineups now.

Saturday's Game Between Detroit and Chicago Has Been Postponed

The rain continues to come down in Detroit, so Saturday's Tigers versus the Chicago White Sox game has been postponed. Reynaldo Lopez will make his scheduled start for the Sox on Sunday. It sounds like Ervin Santana who was scheduled to start for the White Sox will be skipped in the rotation. DFS players should […]

Gary Sanchez Will Play in Rehab Game on Monday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) has been making steady progress lately and will play in a rehab game on Monday. There is a chance that if everything goes right, that Sanchez could be activated on Wednesday. Sanchez has six home runs and 11 RBI in 11 games this season, so he looks to […]

Nathan Eovaldi Placed on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Eovaldi had a 6.00 ERA through four starts this season, but maybe the elbow problem was what is holding him back. Left-handed pitcher Bobby Poyner has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Eovaldi on the active roster. It's unclear […]

Cole Tucker Recalled on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Cole Tucker has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Tucker was hitting .333/.415/.579 with three home runs and seven RBI during his 13 games in the minors this season. Erik Gonzalez was injured on Friday, so Tucker should get a chance to slide right into the starting lineup. The lineups for the […]

Ian Desmond Returns to the Lineup on Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond (leg) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Desmond will be in the lineup for the first time since Monday due to general leg soreness. He'll bat sixth and play center field versus righty Vince Velasquez. Taking any Rockies' hitter in Coors Field is […]

Ryan Braun Sits Out Against Dodgers

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Braun has struggled this season, hitting .185/.221/.369, so it's not surprising to see him out of the lineup. Ben Gamel will play left field and bat seventh versus righty Ross Stripling. Gamel doesn't have […]

Jesus Aguilar is Sitting on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aguilar is hitting .155/.254/.190 this season, so he'll take a sit in this one. Eric Thames will take over duties at first base and bat sixth versus righty Ross Stripling. Thames is always a […]

Blake Swihart Likely to Be Traded in Next 24 Hours

Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart is expected to be traded in the next 24 hours, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, so Swihart's time on the Red Sox is coming to an end. He was once a top prospect, but has a .255/.314/.365 […]

Brad Peacock Will Start on Monday

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock will draw the start in Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Peacock hasn't started a game since April 7. He was used mainly as a relief pitcher, so he likely won't pitch deep into Monday's game. DFS players can go ahead and avoid Peacock on Monday since he probably won't […]

Manuel Margot Placed on Paternity Leave

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot (personal) has been placed on paternity leave. It'll be interesting to see what the Padres decide to do since Margot is the only center fielder on the roster. Jose Pirela has been recalled to take Margot's spot on the roster. Maybe Pirela gets a chance in center field, but […]
