Wilmer Flores is Out of the Lineup Tuesday
New York Mets first baseman Wilmer Flores (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Willson Contreras is Out on Tuesday
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets.

Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig Out on Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig are out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Puig had his suspension hearing on Tuesday, so that's likely why he's out of the lineup. Kemp is probably just getting a rest day and he's been slumping over the last month. Joc […]

C.J. Cron is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The Rays don't have a designated hitter in Atlanta, so Cron will sit this one out. Jake Bauers will cover first base and bat third against righty Julio Teheran. Bauers is not worth consideration […]

Billy Hamilton Will Lead Off Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off and play center field against righty Junior Guerra on Tuesday.

DFS players […]

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (rest) and outfielder Roman Quinn (rest) are out of the starting lineup on Tuesday.

Ramos is hitting .480/.462/.880 with one home run and eight RBI over the last two weeks. However, he's played in back-to-back games, so the Phillies want to give him some rest.

Nick Delmonico Moves Up in the Batting Order
Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico has moved up to the two spot in the batting order for Tuesday's contest against the New York Yankees. Delmonico usually bats eighth or sometimes sixth, but it's quite surprising to see him batting second on Tuesday. He'll bat second and play left field versus righty Lance Lynn. Delmonico […]

Tyreek Hill Has Great Third Preseason Game
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was impressive during Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Hill finished with eight receptions and 88 yards, but did not score a touchdown. It looks like quarterback Patrick Mahomes has found his favorite target on the Chiefs roster. There was some worry that Hill wouldn't have the […]

Kareem Hunt Quiet in Saturday's Loss
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has not done much during three preseason games. Hunt was held to just seven yards on three carries during Saturday's loss to the Bears. The Chiefs are obviously not going to run Hunt hard and risk an injury right before the regular season. However, Spencer Ware is back […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well in Saturday's Loss
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes played well in Saturday's preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. Mahomes was 18-for-24 with 196 yards and one touchdown on Saturday.

Jay Bruce is Out of the Lineup on Monday
New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Chicago Cubs.

Teoscar Hernandez is Out on Monday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

McKinney has been on […]

Kevin Pillar is Sitting Out on Monday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Aaron Hicks Will Lead Off on Monday
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will lead off and play center field versus lefty Carlos Rodon on Monday. Hicks normally bats third in the Yankees order, but does see the occasion start in the one-hole. He's hitting .224/.339/.514 with eight home runs and 20 RBI off left-handed pitching this season. Rodon has pitched very […]

George Springer is Out Again on Saturday
Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (quad) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Springer has now missed five straight games with a quad issue.

Joc Pederson is Day-to-Day
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (knee) is out in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Josh Harrison is Starting on Saturday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison did not start in four straight contests due to lingering hamstring issues.
