Bryce Harper Launches Two Homers

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper came ready to play during Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Sean Murphy Blasts Two Home Runs

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy was seemingly the entire offense during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran catcher went 4-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in the 7-0 victory. Murphy was slumping at the plate, but four hits and four RBIs will certainly help that. He missed the first two months […]

The Pirates had no answers for […]

The veteran slugger will miss back-to-back games due to a family matter. The details of the situation are unknown, but hopefully Alvarez will be able to return soon. In the meantime, Yainer Diaz […]

William Contreras Returns To The Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (head) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

He'll cover third base and bat second versus […]

Yordan Alvarez Resting On Tuesday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Masyn Winn Scratched On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Winn has been hot at the plate lately and he delivered the go-ahead home run on Monday. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry as this appears to be a minor issue. Brendan Donovan […]

Luis Perales To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Luis Perales (elbow) is scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Corbin Carroll Expected To Play On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (ribs) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals.

Kyle Manzardo Optioned To Triple-A

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. The 23-year-old will head back to the minors after struggling during his first stint with the big league club. Manzardo slashed .207/.241/.329 with zero home runs and seven RBI in 30 games. In a corresponding move, third baseman Jose Ramirez has […]

Justin Verlander Could Miss Thursday's Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (neck) is uncertain to make his next scheduled start on Thursday versus the Chicago White Sox.

Jordan Lawlar To Miss 4-6 Weeks

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) is expected to miss an extended period of time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game with Triple-A Reno.

Justin Lawrence Activated From Injured List

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Justin Lawrence (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will move up into the leadoff spot ahead of Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Jose Suarez Gets Designated For Assignment

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Suarez has been designated for assignment by the organization on Monday. This doesn't come as much of a shock given how poorly Suarez has pitched this season. Most recently, Suarez gave up five runs in one inning during Sunday's outing against the San Francisco Giants. He holds a 8.15 […]

Luis Rengifo Sitting Out On Monday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The veteran slugger is back in the mix after missing nearly six weeks of action due to a strained hamstring.

Yennier Cano Notches Third Save

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Yennier Cano was called upon to get out of a jam during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The O's were up 8-3 but a walk and two errors loaded up the bases for Philly in the ninth inning. After that, O's manager Brandon Hyde decided to go with Cano to […]

Pete Alonso Knocks In Five Runs

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has been off to an extremely slow start to the season.

This five-RBI performance matched his […]
