Ryan Mountcastle Missing Third Straight Game

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. The 27-year-old continues to sit out due to ongoing illness. This sounds like a minor issue that shouldn't force Mountcastle onto the injured list. In his absence, Ryan O'Hearn covers first […]

New York Mets designated hitter J.D. Martinez (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The veteran slugger is being pulled out of the lineup due to left-ankle soreness. Fantasy managers don't need to panic, as this sounds like a minor issue. For now, Martinez should be […]

Corey Seager Absent On Tuesday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. It sounds like Seager is doing better after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's game. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager remains day-to-day with a left hand contusion. Josh Smith will cover shortstop […]

Max Meyer Quiet During June

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Max Meyer has been a name that has been talked about a lot recently about possibly joining the big league rotation.

Jeff Hoffman Earns Save On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman was called upon to close out Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins.

It was an ugly […]

Aaron Judge Goes Yard In Win

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his MVP-type season versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. The superstar slugger went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run off right-hander Kevin Gausman during Sunday's win. This is unbelievable as Judge has 31 home runs and 82 RBI before the month of July. Fantasy managers can continue […]
