Mike Foltynewicz to Join Rotation on Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) is on track to join the starting rotation on Saturday. Foltynewicz dealt with elbow soreness throughout spring training, but appears better now. However, he was destroyed in his minor league starts. He had a 6.11 ERA over four rehab starts. Fantasy owners probably should wait until after his […]

Anthony Rendon is Out Again

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Rendon was hit in the elbow by a pitch on Saturday and hasn't played in a game since then. Howie Kendrick will draw the start at third base and bat cleanup versus Jeff Hoffman. Kendrick […]

Carlos Martinez Will Pitch Out of the Bullpen

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) will reportedly pitch out of the bullpen when he returns to the team, according to manager Mike Shildt. It sounds like Martinez is still having a tough time building up strength in his right arm. The Cardinals believe the bullpen is a better fit for Martinez at the […]

David Bote Placed on Paternity List

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (personal) has been placed on the paternity-leave list on Tuesday. His wife gave birth to a baby boy, so Bote will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is expected to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Daniel Descalso will bat […]

Ed Davis is Questionable for Game 5

Brooklyn Nets center Ed Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 5 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Davis was fantastic in Game 1, but hasn't been able to do much since that contest. He wasn't able to play in Game 4, so that's not a good sign that he'll be able to suit up here. […]

Joel Embiid is Probable for Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Brooklyn Nets. The fact he's listed as probable is a good sign, but the Sixers should be able to beat the Nets regardless. Boban Marjanovic and Greg Monroe would split up the minutes at center if Embiid is unable […]

Blake Griffin Could Play in Game 4

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is a game-time decision for Monday's Game 4 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The good news is, Griffin is listed as probable for this game, so that's a great sign. It sounds like he'll actually suit up for this game, but there won't be official confirmation until after pre-game warmups. […]

Mike Montgomery Will Make Rehab Appearance on Monday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Mike Montgomery (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance on Monday at Double-A. Montgomery went two innings last outing, so this appearance should be a little longer. There is a chance that Monty rejoins the Cubs by the end of April. However, the won't mean much for fantasy owners with […]

Nathan Eovaldi Will Undergo Surgery

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) will undergo surgery on Tuesday to remove loose bodies from his elbow. The Sox placed Eovaldi on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, but were not aware the injury was this serious. Eovaldi missed roughly two months of action in 2018 when he had a similar surgery. […]

Amed Rosario is Out on Monday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (illness) will not be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rosario has an eight game hitting streak, so he'd be out there if he was healthy enough. Luis Guillorme will play shortstop and bat seventh versus right Jake Arrieta. DFS players can go ahead […]

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.
