Luis Morales Earns First Win

Athletics starting pitcher Luis Morales looked sharp on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-hander had mixed results during his first start when he tossed 2.2 scoreless innings, but walked five batters in the process. This time around, Morales was able to locate his pitches much better on the mound. […]

Nolan McLean to Remain in Rotation

According to Laura Albanese, New York Mets starting pitcher Nolan McLean will remain in the starting rotation going forward. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering how well McLean looked during his MLB debut. The 24-year-old tossed 5.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, while walking four batters, and striking out eight. There are […]

Marcus Semien Avoids Serious Injury

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien (hand) was absent from the starting lineup during Saturday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Semien missed this game after waking up on Saturday with a swollen wrist after getting hit by a pitch during Friday's contest. He underwent X-rays which came back negative for any fractures or serious […]

Vinnie Pasquantino Removed Early on Saturday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (illness) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pasquantino was pulled out of the game after his first-inning strikeout due to a heat related illness. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, so Pasquantino should be back in the lineup in a day or […]

Kyle Stowers Heads to Injured List With Left-Side Strain

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (side) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Stowers was reportedly held out on Saturday as a precaution, but manager Clayton McCullough announced he's going to the shelf due to a Grade 1 left side strain.

Zack Wheeler Placed on Injured List With Blood Clot in Shoulder

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday.

The Phillies will take the cautious approach and shut […]

Daniel Palencia Unavailable Due to Illness

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Daniel Palencia (illness) didn't take the mound during the ninth inning of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Instead, Brad Keller was tasked with recording the final three outs on Saturday. Afterwards, manager Craig Counsell said that Palencia was feeling under the weather, so they gave him a day off. This […]

Josh Lowe Scratched from Saturday's Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) was scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was originally penciled in to play right field, but will now head to the bench due to oblique tightness. For now, fantasy managers can consider Lowe as day-to-day, but oblique issues often […]

Yordan Alvarez Takes Live At-Bats on Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (hand) was able to take eight live at-bats in West Palm Beach on Saturday. Now, Alvarez will return to Houston on Sunday to determine the next steps in his rehab process. Alvarez has been sidelined since early May due to a fractured hand.

Paul Goldschmidt Remaining Out on Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cody Bellinger Absent from Saturday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. At first, Bellinger appeared to be getting a routine rest day which he certainly needed given his current slump at the plate. Now, it's being reported that Bellinger is absent from the lineup […]

Orlando Arcia Activated on Saturday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Orlando Arcia (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Arcia missed the minimum 10 days while dealing with elbow inflammation.

Jeremy Pena Remains Out on Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This marks the second game in a row that Pena has missed due to an illness. It doesn't sound like something that is going to land him on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers […]

Colton Cowser Likely Returning on Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (concussion) is expected to rejoin the team on Sunday, according to interim manager Tony Mansolino. Cowser is currently on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion. He has been eligible to return since Thursday, but needed a few extra days. Cowser figures to resume his starting role in left […]

Anthony Santander Begins Swinging the Bat

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has reportedly progressed to swinging from both sides of the plate. If everything goes well, Santander should work his way up to a hitting program and begin a rehab assignment. However, this progression is likely going to take weeks, so fantasy managers should be able to safely rule […]

Matt Chapman Goes to Injured List

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This comes after a hand issue kept Chapman from playing during Wednesday's contest. He underwent an MRI which ruled out any structural damage. However, Chapman is going to miss a few weeks because of this injury. The Giants […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King (knee) was recently placed back on the injured list. King made only one start in his return from a shoulder injury before heading back to the shelf.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has been reportedly looking good in joint practices with the Philadelphia Eagles this week. On Thursday, Fannin dropped a potential touchdown pass from quarterback Joe Flacco. However, Fannin responded by catching the next one and later scoring on a corner route. The rumors are that Fannin could line […]

Jaydon Blue Still Not Practicing

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (heel) is no longer using a walking boot, but hasn't participated in practice since last week. That being said, it's unlikely that Blue is going to be ready to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The Cowboys probably aren't going to put Blue into game action without him […]

Kaleb Johnson Unlikely to Have Big Role Right Away

According to Andrew Fillipponi, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson is unlikely to have a big role on offense early in the season. Johnson still needs to work on his pass protection and pass-catching ability before taking on a bigger role. It's still fairly early in training camp, so things could change from now to […]

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez was all over the place during Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Tarik Skubal Pitches Well in No-Decision

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal didn't factor in the decision during Thursday's start against the Minnesota Twins. Skubal didn't have his normal swing-and-miss stuff during this game. The southpaw only struck out three batters which is his second-fewest in a game this season. He tossed seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits in […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Sharp During Thursday's Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez bounced back nicely on the mound during Thursday's start against the Colorado Rockies. Last week, Rodriguez was smacked around for five runs against this same Rockies club. The southpaw looked much better this week as the only damage against him was on a solo home run by Kyle Farmer. […]

Matthew Boyd Takes Tough Loss on Thursday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd was excellent on the mound throughout most of Thursday's outing against the Toronto Blue Jays. Boyd had a shutout going into the seventh inning until Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blasted a two-run home run off him. The Cubs couldn't put up much offense during this game, so sadly Boyd will […]
