Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Shaw will head to the bench after starting in five straight games.

Jordan Beck Heads to the Bench

Colorado Rockies outfielder Jordan Beck is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Beck will get a rare day off on Saturday after starting in nine straight games. He's looking like he could use a day off after going 2-for-19 over his last five games. It has been an […]

Nick Kurtz Absent on Saturday

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz (oblique) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Kurtz was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to right-oblique soreness. After the game, A's manager Mark Kotsay said Kurtz will likely undergo additional […]

Javier Baez to Rest on Saturday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Javier Baez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Baez who has sat out in three of the last five games. Baez went 1-for-9 in the two games that he did play in during that […]

Kyle Hart to Pitch on Sunday

San Diego Padres pitcher Kyle Hart will take the mound for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Regardless, Hart is unlikely to offer much fantasy value considering he has struggled in the big leagues […]

Cal Quantrill Shifting to Bullpen

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Cal Quantrill will make the shift to the bullpen, according to manager Brian Snitker.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Placed on Outright Waivers

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was placed on outright waivers by the organization on Friday. This seems like an odd decision considering Kiner-Falefa has been the primary third baseman since Ke'Bryan Hayes was traded to the Cincinnati Reds. The 30-year-old has struggled at the plate, but does offer solid defense. His fantasy value probably wouldn't […]

Tommy Edman Takes Live Batting Practice on Friday

Payne Durham Could See Increased Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season.

Jason Alexander Records Eight Strikeouts

Houston Astros pitcher Jason Alexander had his swing-and-miss stuff working during Thursday's outing against the Colorado Rockies.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (abdomen) underwent a successful appendectomy on Thursday. He was diagnosed with appendicitis and required emergency surgery.

Carlos Santana Released on Thursday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Carlos Santana was released by the organization on Thursday. Santana was placed on outright waivers on Tuesday and surprisingly went unclaimed.

Jack Kochanowicz Optioned to Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
