Jean Segura, Mike Zunino Out on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura and catcher Mike Zunino are both out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It appears both players are just getting a rest day. Andrew Romine will start at shortstop and bat ninth against veteran righty Bartolo Colon. Chris Herrmann will bat seventh and draw the […]

Willson Contreras Not in the Lineup Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Kansas City Royals. It looks like a normal rest day for Contreras, so fantasy owners don't need to worry about an injury. Victor Caratini will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth against righty Brad Keller. […]

Brandon Lowe Starting on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe will bat seventh and draw the start in left field against righty Alex Cobb on Tuesday. Lowe was hitting .297/.391/.558 with 22 homers, 76 RBI in the minors this season before being called up Saturday. It's tough to trust a rookie with such little experience in DFS, but Cobb has […]

Josh Bell Could Be Activated Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell (oblique) could be activated off the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday. Bell has been through a couple of workouts without any issues, so the Pirates might not bother with a rehab assignment. Bell was heating up before his injury, but has been fairly disappointing this season.

Martin Prado Sitting Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Miguel Rojas who normally splits time at shortstop with J.T. Riddle will draw the start at third base. Rojas will bat seventh against Cardinals' righty Miles Mikolas. Rojas is worth an add in NL-only […]

Devin Mesoraco Out Again on Tuesday

New York Mets catcher Devin Mesoraco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday. He's hitting just .200/.222/.360 over the last two weeks, so that could have something to do with him losing playing time. Kevin Plawecki will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth against righty […]

Yan Gomes Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Gomes missed three straight games, but will be behind the plate and batting seventh against lefty Adalberto Mejia on Tuesday. Gomes is hitting .295/.375/.538 off left-handed pitching this season. He should be a decent option for […]

Russell Martin Sitting Out on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It looks like a routine day off for the veteran catcher. Luke Maile will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth against lefty Drew Pomeranz. Maile is not a reliable option for […]

Tyler Flowers Behind the Plate in Game 1

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers will bat seventh and draw the start behind the plate for Game 1 versus the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Flowers will face lefty Jefry Rodriguez, which should be a fairly favorable matchup for him. Kurt Suzuki will likely be behind the plate for Game 2 of the doubleheader, but that […]

Spencer Kieboom Starting Game 1 Tuesday

Washington Nationals catcher Spencer Kieboom is batting eighth and starting behind the plate versus lefty Max Fried on Tuesday. The Nats and Braves play a doubleheader, so there is a good chance we see Matt Wieters behind the plate for Game 2. Neither catcher is a reliable fantasy option, so they can be avoided in […]

Adam Eaton Sitting Out Game 1 Tuesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader versus the Atlanta Braves. Michael Taylor will bat seventh and play center field against lefty Max Fried. Taylor hits lefty pitcher fairly well and the Braves have lefty starters scheduled for both contests. There is a good […]

Kolby Allard Added For Doubleheader Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kolby Allard has been added as the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. Allard made his MLB debut on July 31 against the Marlins, but gave up four earned runs through five innings. He has not pitched with the Braves since that game, but could see action especially […]

Francisco Cervelli to Play First Base on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli will slide over to first base for Monday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. Josh Bell (oblique) is still sidelined, so the Pirates are looking for ways to fill the void at first base. Cervelli has not played much first base during his career, but will do it on Monday against […]

Dee Gordon Back in the Lineup Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Dee Gordon (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Gordon missed two straight games after leaving Thursday's contest with a right ankle injury. Gordon will lead off and play second base against lefty Martin Perez on Monday. However, Gordon is hitting .208/.240/.208 over the […]

Ketel Marte Sitting Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Marte is hitting .368/.455/.632 over the last week, so this is likely just a routine rest day for him. Daniel Descalso will play second base and bat sixth against righty Jake Arrieta. Descalso is having a […]

A.J. Pollock is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Pollock has horrible career numbers against Phillies' starter Jake Arrieta, so that's likely why he's out of the lineup. Jon Jay will lead off and play center field on Monday. Jay is not hitting much better […]

Charlie Blackmon is Out of the Lineup Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is just a normal rest day for Blackmon, so fantasy owners don't need to worry. David Dahl will lead off and play center field against righty Joe Musgrove. Dahl could be an interesting DFS option […]

David Bote is Out of the Lineup Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The red-hot Bote will get the night off, while Javier Baez bats cleanup and plays third base against righty Jake Junis. Bote does not see regular playing time, so it's tough to own him despite […]

Adam Engel Likely To See Increased Playing Time

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel is likely going to see increased playing time over the next couple of weeks. Leury Garcia (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list, so Engel is expected to play just about everyday. However, Engel has struggled with the bat this season, so he won't be an option […]

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out on Monday

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. J.T. Riddle will draw the start at shortstop and seventh against righty Luke Weaver. The battle for playing time continues with Rojas and Riddle, so many fantasy owners will want to stay away from this […]

Jose Martinez, Harrison Bader Starting on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Jose Martinez and Harrison Bader are in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Injuries to Dexter Fowler and Tyler O'Neill have opened up significant playing time for Martinez and Bader. Martinez will bat third and play right field, while Bader bats seventh and plays center field against […]

Jose Bautista, Devin Mesoraco Out on Monday

New York Mets corner infielder/outfielder Jose Bautista and catcher Devin Mesoraco are out of Monday's starting lineup. Brandon Nimmo will bat sixth and play right field against righty Homer Bailey. Kevin Plawecki will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth on Monday. Plawecki can be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests, but […]

Melky Cabrera Sitting Out on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Cabrera is hitting .097/.097/.097 off righty Kyle Gibson in his career, so he'll sit this one out. Brandon Guyer will bat ninth and play right field for the Indians on Monday. Guyer has not seen much […]

Yan Gomes Remains Out of the Lineup on Monday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This marks the third straight game that Gomes has been out of the lineup. However, Gomes is feeling much better on Monday and could return to the starting lineup on Tuesday, according to manager Terry Francona. […]

Jay Bruce Could Return Soon

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce (hip) "is getting really anxious" to return, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Bruce has been sidelined since June 17 die to a hip strain. The Mets have reportedly put an "aggressive" plan in place to get Bruce back on the field. However, Bruce's bat has been awful this […]

Adeiny Hechavarria Traded to Pirates

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria has been traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for right-handed pitcher Matt Seelinger. The Rays designated Hechavarria for assignment on Wednesday, but it wasn't because of poor play. He's a solid defender and is hitting .258/.289/.332 with three home runs and 26 RBI in 61 games with the […]

Steven Matz Throwing Bullpen Session

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (arm) will throw a bullpen session on Monday. The Mets are going to wait and see how he feels on Tuesday before deciding what to do next. Matz went down last week, but there is a chance that he could return as early as this week. Corey Oswalt […]

Sandy Alcantara Throwing Bullpen Session Monday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (arm) will throw a bullpen session on Monday. The Marlins have not decided whether they will activate Alcantara or if he'll go on a rehab assignment. Alcantara has been on the disabled list since early July, but could be back soon. However, he should only be worth a look […]

Tyler O'Neill Placed on 10-Day DL

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (groin) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday. He was scratched from Saturday's lineup and will now get a few days off to rest. Adolis Garcia has been called up to take O'Neill's spot on the active roster. Harrison Bader is expected to see everyday playing […]

Robinson Cano to Begin Rehab Assignment Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. Cano is eligible to return from his 80-game PED suspension on August 14. He will be taking reps at first base and third base in preparation for a possible utility role once activated.
