Devon Travis is Out on Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Wil Myers will play third base and bat second against righty Felix Pena. On Monday, the Padres said they would give Villanueva a look at second base and shortstop. It sounds like they […]

Gerardo Parra is Out on Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros.

McMahon can be avoided in DFS […]

A.J. Pollock is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It appears Pollock will get a breather, but it's not performance based since Pollock has been hitting well lately. Jon Jay will lead off and play center field versus righty Yovani Gallardo. Jay is a decent […]

Billy Hamilton is Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Jake Thompson Acquired by Brewers

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jake Thompson has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for cash considerations.

Jackie Bradley Jr. Sitting Out on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He'll sit out with the DH unavailable while playing under NL rules. J.D. Martinez will bat cleanup and play right field versus righty Nick Pivetta.

C.J. Cron is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the New York Yankees. Cron was given Monday off, but will bat cleanup and serve as the DH against lefty J.A. Happ on Tuesday. Cron does not have good numbers against Happ in his career, but is always a […]

Teoscar Hernandez is Out of the Lineup Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Alex Avila Sitting Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Alex Avila (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers.
