Cameron Maybin Not in The Lineup Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Cameron Maybin (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He is normally a starting outfielder in Miami, but will receive a rest day on Tuesday. Magneuris Sierra will draw the start in center field and bat eighth against righty Julio Teheran. Sierra could be an […]

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Braves. J.T. Riddle will draw the start at shortstop and bat seventh against righty Julio Teheran. Riddle and Rojas continue to battle for playing time, which hurts both their fantasy values. However, Rojas is worth an add […]

Jeff McNeil Recalled From Minors

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil has been recalled to play some third base for the Mets. According to Joel Sherman, this move was not made because Asdrubal Cabrera has been traded. The Mets are just looking to add some depth in the infield. McNeil was slashing .342/.411/.617 with 19 home runs and 71 RBI […]

Magneuris Sierra Recalled, Starting on Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra has been recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday. He is taking the place of Garrett Cooper (wrist) on the Marlins active roster. Sierra was acquired by the Marlins during the Marcell Ozuna. He was hitting .260/.287/.341 with two homers and 14 steals during 86 games in Triple A this […]

Orioles Discussed Yasiel Puig for Zach Britton

The Baltimore Orioles continue to search for a new home for relief pitcher Zach Britton as the trade deadline approaches. The Los Angeles Dodgers have discussed a trade in which Yasiel Puig would head to Baltimore in exchange for Britton. The Dodgers want to stay under luxury-tax threshold, so moving Puig's salary in exchange for […]

Jason Heyward is Not Starting Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Heyward will get the night off, while Ian Happ, Albert Almora, and Ben Zobrist cover the outfield for the Cubs on Monday. It's not surprising to see Heyward get the night off against lefty Patrick Corbin. […]

Mike Moustakas is Out of the Lineup Monday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Moose is hitting .158/.200/.211 off Monday's starter Francisco Liriano in his career. Hunter Dozier will bat fifth and cover third base against the veteran lefty. Dozier is not worth using in DFS contests Monday.

John Hicks is Sitting Out Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/catcher John Hicks (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Hicks is 0-for-9 during his last three games, so he'll get a night off to rest on Monday. Jim Adduci will bat sixth and play first base against righty Heath Fillmyer. Hicks is worth […]

Mark Canha Back in the Lineup on Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Monday after sitting out on Sunday due to hamstring cramps. Canha was reportedly available off the bench on Sunday, but didn't play. He's been seeing regular playing time lately, so he could be an interesting option in AL-only and deep leagues. Canha […]

C.J. Cron Not in the Lineup Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Cron is hitting .351/.390/.703 with three home runs and 11 RBI over the last two weeks. Jake Bauers is batting third and starting at first base while Ji-Man Choi bats cleanup and serves […]

Eric Thames Expected to Come Off DL Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (hamstring) said he's ready to come off the disabled list when his 10-day stint expires on Tuesday. Thames has missed six straight games, but could be back in the lineup for their next game. That would be a huge addition with Jesus Aguilar (hamstring) sitting out right now. Fantasy […]

Russell Martin is Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Monday will be Martin's second game off in the last three contests. Martin is having a horrible season with the bat, but backup Luke Maile is not hitting much better right now. Maile will draw […]

Keon Broxton Will Lead Off Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Keon Broxton will bat first and play right field against Nationals' lefty Gio Gonzalez on Monday. Jesus Aguilar (hamstring) is sitting out, so Ryan Braun will move from the outfield to first base for this contest. Broxton is hitting .100/.308/.250 at home this season. He's in a favorable part of the batting […]

Jesus Aguilar Out Again on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (hamstring) will sit out his second straight game on Monday. Aguilar was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to cramping in both his hamstrings. It does not sounds too serious, but the Brewers want to be cautious with Aguilar. Ryan Braun will bat cleanup and play first base against lefty […]

Scooter Gennett is Sitting Out Monday

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Scooter Gennett (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Gennett is reportedly under the weather, so he'll get the night off on Monday. Brandon Dixon will fill in at second base and bat second against righty Daniel Poncedeleon. Dixon is not worth adding in […]

Manuel Margot Returning on Monday

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot (wrist) is returning to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. It will be Margot's first start since he suffered a left wrist injury on Friday. He'll be in center field and batting seventh against Jacob deGrom on Monday. Margot has been hot lately and […]

Brent Suter Likely Undergoing Tommy John Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter (arm) has a torn ulnar collateral ligament and is likely headed towards Tommy John surgery. Suter landed on the disabled list earlier this month due to forearm tightness. Assuming Suter does undergo surgery, then he likely won't be back until 2020. It sounds like it is safe to go […]

Cesar Hernandez Not Playing Monday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hernandez has been one of the Phillies best hitters this season, but it looks like Monday is just a routine day off. Trevor Plouffe will cover second base and bat seventh against righty Ross […]

Ozzie Albies Sitting Out on Monday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Albies has now missed back-to-back contests after leaving during Friday's game due to a tight right hamstring. Luckily, the Braves are not putting Albies on the DL, and are calling the issue day-to-day. Charlie Culberson […]

Yoenis Cespedes to Meet With Foot Specialist Monday

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (heel) is scheduled to meet with a foot specialist and have an MRI on Monday. The Mets are currently waiting on a diagnosis, but Cespedes revealed on Friday he's dealing with calcification in both of his heels. There is a chance that Cespedes has surgery, which would sidelined him […]

Justin Turner Likely to DL, Alex Verdugo Recalled

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) is likely headed to the disabled list on Monday. Manager Dave Roberts said on Sunday Turner could return to the DL. Outfielder Alex Verdugo is with the Dodgers in Philadelphia for their game against the Phillies on Monday. Turner cannot catch a break this season, and it […]

Willy Adames Starting At Shortstop Monday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames was recalled on Sunday and will start at shortstop and bat eighth against Yankees' righty Luis Severino on Monday. The Rays did not bring him up to sit on the bench. That means Adeiny Hechavarria is going to see less playing time going forward. Hechavarria could very well be […]

Kevin Kiermaier Returning on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (foot) will return to the Rays starting lineup on Monday after missing back-to-back games with a bone bruise in his right foot. Kiermaier will resume his role of batting first and playing center field against Yankees' righty Luis Severino. Kiermaier is hitting .192/.277/.273 off right-handed pitching this season. He's […]

Blake Snell Lands on 10-Day DL

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. The Rays expect Snell to only miss one start due to left shoulder fatigue. He underwent an MRI on Monday, but it showed no structural damage. Righty pitcher Chih-Wei Hu has been recalled from Triple A to take Snell's […]

Amed Rosario Moving Up in Batting Order Monday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario has moved up to first in the batting order for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Rosario normally bats in the seventh or eighth spot, but gets the nod to bat first against lefty Eric Lauer. Rosario is hitting .216/.247/.351 off left-handed pitching this season. Batting higher in […]

C.J. Cron is Not Starting on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Jake Bauers will bat third and play first base, while Ji-Man Choi serves as the DH and bats fifth against righty Dan Straily. Cron has been on fire lately, so it's unclear why he's […]

Miguel Rojas Sitting Out on Friday

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He continues to split playing time with J.T. Riddle who is batting seventh and starting at shortstop against righty Nathan Eovaldi on Friday. However, Rojas is hitting .261/.310/.353 off right-handed pitching this season, so he […]

Sean Rodriguez Activated Off DL, Starting Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Sean Rodriguez (quadriceps) has been activated off the 10-day disabled list and has been plugged into the starting lineup on Friday. Rodriguez will bat seventh and play second base against righty Tyler Mahle. Josh Harrison (hamstring) is not starting in this game, but could be back this weekend. Rodriguez is not worth […]

Tucker Barnhart Moves Up in Batting Order

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart is behind the plate and batting second against righty Jameson Taillon and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Barnhart is hitting .227/.302/.332 off right-handed pitching this season, which doesn't scream two-hole hitter. Barnhart is normally in the sixth or seventh spot in the batting order, but gets a rare chance to […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Sitting Out Against Lefty

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Mookie Betts will bat first and cover center field, while Andrew Benintendi and J.D. Martinez cover the corner outfield spots. Bradley is hitting .188/.263/.261 off left-handed pitching this season. It is not surprising to […]
