Matt Bush Recalled From Triple-A

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Bush has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. He was sent down last month due to lack of control, but he improved during his time in the minors.

Justin Upton is Out on Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (hand) is not in the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. He left Thursday's contest after getting hit by a pitch in the hand by Chris Archer. The X-rays came back negative, so Upton should be able to avoid a disabled list stint. Chris Young will […]

Triggs was forced to exit early into Thursday's start against the Blue Jays. It's unclear how long Triggs will be on the disabled list. Kendall Graveman will likely be called […]

Francisco Cervelli is Not Playing on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (finger) is not in the starting lineup against the San Diego Padres on Friday. He jammed his finger while diving back into a base on Thursday. Elias Diaz will take over the catching duties for Friday's contest. It sounds like a day-to-day injury for Cervelli, so fantasy owners should not […]

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko is going to see the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Paul DeJong (hand) is out, according to manager Mike Matheny. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak mentioned Yairo Munoz when asked who would play shortstop the most. However, Matheny is the one that fills out the lineup […]

Adeiny Hechavarria Not Playing on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The good news is that the Rays have not placed Hechavarria on the disabled list.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Carson Smith (shoulder) will seek a second opinion on his shoulder next week. He was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday with a right shoulder subluxation.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford (forearm) took batting practice on Thursday. He also resumed throwing and is expected to start a rehab assignment this weekend. He was placed on the disabled list late last month due to a strained elbow. He's been struggling this season, so even when healthy, he's not worth owning right now […]

Anibal Sanchez Will Throw Bullpen Session on Friday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. He could make a couple starts in extended spring training so the Braves can figure out how to use Sanchez. It appears Sanchez has recovered from his hamstring issue, but the Braves don't have a spot for him in […]

Teoscar Hernandez Out on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (back) is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics. He is nursing a sore back, but it is not believed to be a serious issue.

Edwin Encarnacion Out of Tuesday's Lineup

Cleveland Indians first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (neck, back) is out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran slugger is sitting out due to stiffness in his neck and back. It is not a serious issue and is considered a day-to-day type of injury. Michael Brantley will serve as the Indians designated hitter […]

Jorge Soler is Not in The Lineup on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler (rib) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He suffered the injury during a leaping catch on Monday.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (finger) will make his scheduled start against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, according to manager Clint Hurdle. Taillon left after three innings during his last start with a finger laceration. He played catch on Sunday, and it sounds like he'll be ready for Wednesday. Taillon has not pitched […]

He's expected to play one rehab game before possibly returning to the Braves on Friday. Johan Camargo and Charlie Culberson have been filling in for […]

Victor Arano Could Return on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Victor Arano (shoulder) could come off the disabled list on Wednesday. He made a rehab appearance on Monday and it does not sound like he will need another rehab outing. Arano is posting a 0.75 ERA in 12 innings with 13 strikeouts this season. He's only worth owning in leagues that […]

Nathan Eovaldi Will Throw Bullpen Session on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow, rib) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. He was scratched from his most recent rehab start after suffering a right rib cage muscle strain. Eovaldi could join the Rays by the end of May, but that's if everything goes as planned. He's not worth adding right […]

Jason Castro Will Have Surgery on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins catcher Jason Castro (knee) will have surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn right meniscus. He is expected to miss roughly four to six weeks of action. He has already missed most of the month, so he decided to have surgery. Castro is expected to return around mid-June. Mitch Garver and Bobby Wilson […]

Miguel Sano Not Near 100 Percent

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (hamstring) is "not close to 100 percent," according to manager Paul Molitor. He did field some grounders, but it does not sound like he is close to returning. Sano has been out since late April and it appears he could be out for at least another week. He should […]

Trevor May Will Continue Rehab Assignment on Thursday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Trevor May (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Rochester. He walked three and struck out five over four scoreless innings on Saturday.

Hector Velazquez Lands on DL

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hector Velazquez (back) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. The team has activated starter Steven Wright to take his spot on the active roster.

Nicholas Castellanos Could Return Tuesday

Detroit Tigers third baseman/outfielder Nicholas Castellanos (finger) could return on Tuesday, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Castellanos has missed two straight games after getting hit by a pitch on Saturday. There is a chance that he does pinch hit during Monday's contest.

Leonys Martin Expects to Return on Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin (hamstring) expects to return from the disabled list on Friday when he's first eligible.
