Esteury Ruiz Sitting Out On Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This seems a bit odd after Ruiz blasted a solo home run off the bench during Monday's game. It'll be JJ Bleday continuing to start in center field with Lawrence Butler and Seth Brown […]

Tyler Wells Placed On Injured List

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander will take a few weeks off while he recovers from right elbow inflammation. Wells hasn't looked too good this season with a 5.87 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through three starts. Despite that, Wells is still worth […]

Nick Nastrini To Remain In Rotation

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Nick Nastrini will stick in the rotation for at least one more start. The organization has announced that Nastrini will make the start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The right-hander has earned the chance to stay in the rotation after a solid MLB debut on Monday. The 24-year-old allowed […]

Justin Verlander To Start On Friday Or Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is set to make his return from the injured list. The veteran right-hander will make his season debut either Friday or Saturday versus the Washington Nationals. The 41-year-old has been brought along slowly while he recovers from a shoulder injury. He's finally ready to return after having no […]

Salvador Perez Remains Out On Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (groin) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran catcher has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left groin strain. Despite that, Perez hasn't been placed on the injured list and is considered as day-to-day. It wouldn't be shocking to […]

Jeimer Candelario Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Hopefully, this is a minor issue and will only force Candelario to miss one game. In the meantime, Santiago Espinal will cover third base and bat eighth on Tuesday night. Fantasy managers should […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Scratched On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (undisclosed) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The organization has not given a reason as to why Hayes was pulled ahead of the game. Jared Triolo will be taking over third base and bat third for Tuesday's game. Fantasy […]

Christian Bethancourt Lands On Injured List

Miami Marlins catcher Christian Bethancourt (illness) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. It appears Bethancourt is dealing with some sort of illness and he'll be sidelined for at least a week or so. In a corresponding move, the Marlins have selected catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville. He figures to split […]

Jonathan Cannon Named As Tuesday's Starter

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon has been named as the starter ahead of Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander will be called up after striking out 11 batters over 9 2/3 innings in Triple-A Charlotte this season. He clearly has swing-and-miss stuff, but we'll see how it translates at the […]

Jhoan Duran To Throw On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) is set to throw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-hander continues to work his way back from an oblique strain that has sidelined him since the start of the season. The 26-year-old could progress to facing live hitters if Tuesday's session […]

Christian Yelich Sitting Out On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined since being forced to exit early on Friday due to back discomfort. For the moment Yelich is considered as day-to-day, but fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Yelich […]

Brendan Rodgers Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an illness. For now, fantasy managers should consider Rodgers to be day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action. In the meantime, Alan […]

Seiya Suzuki Placed On Injured List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. This is a tough blow to both fantasy managers and the Cubs roster. Suzuki was hitting .305 with an .893 OPS along with three homers and 13 RBI over the first 15 games of the season. Barring any setbacks, […]

Gerrit Cole Expected To Throw On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) didn't throw at all on Monday, according to manager Aaron Boone. The right-hander continues to slowly work his way back up from an elbow injury that has sidelined him since the beginning of the season. It sounds like the plan is to have Cole rest on Monday […]

Dominic Canzone Expected To Miss Time

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (shoulder) is expected to be out awhile, according to manager Scott Servais. The 26-year-old suffered a left AC joint sprain while crashing into the wall during Sunday's game. The organization hasn't given a timetable for his return, but Servais said he'll be placed on the injured list on Monday. Canzone […]

Keibert Ruiz Unlikely To Play On Monday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (illness) is unlikely to play during Monday's game, according to manager Dave Martinez. Ruiz has missed each of the last five games due to an illness. The organization has not placed Ruiz on the injured list and still considers the catcher as day-to-day. Drew Millas has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Mitchell Parker Likely To Pitch On Monday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Mitchell Parker is expected to be recalled to make his MLB debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. The 24-year-old is a former fifth-round pick of the Nats from the 2020 draft. The right-hander only made one start in Triple-A this season before receiving the call to the big leagues. […]

Adbert Alzolay Records Third Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Adbert Alzolay was called upon to hold a one-run lead against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The right-hander struck out the first two batters he faced before allowing a single to Cal Raleigh. The Mariners decided to use Julio Rodriguez as a pinch-runner in this spot. Unfortunately for the Mariners, Rodriguez […]

Michael Busch Homers In Fourth Straight Game

Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch has been off to a red-hot start to begin the season. On Sunday, Busch went 2-for-4 with a home run in the 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. The left-handed slugger has now homered in four straight contests. He's slashing an impressive .327/.393/.694 heading into Monday's game against the […]

J.D. Davis Pulled Early On Sunday

Oakland Athletics third baseman J.D. Davis (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Davis was replaced after a few at-bats due to a right groin strain. The severity of the injury is unknown, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Davis miss some time. If he does, Tyler Nevin […]

Michael Lorenzen To Make Season Debut On Monday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen (neck) is scheduled to make his season debut against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. The right-hander is set to take the mound after dealing with a neck injury to begin the season. The expectation is that Lorenzen fills the void in the rotation left by Cody Bradford (back) who […]

Chas McCormick Returns On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. He'll return his return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to a hamstring issue. McCormick will cover center field and bat fifth versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get […]

Alex Bregman Remains Out On Sunday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The stud corner infielder will now miss his third game in a row due to a lingering illness. It's unlikely that the Astros need to place Bregman on the injured list, but fantasy managers […]

Marco Gonzales Lands On Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The left-hander appears to have picked up the injury during Saturday's outing against the Philadelphia Phillies. Gonzales looked strong throwing six innings and allowing only two runs. Sadly, it appears the Pirates are going to be without Gonzales […]

Cody Bradford Placed On Injured List

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cody Bradford (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. It appears the left-hander picked up a lower back injury at some point during Wednesday's start. This is a shame considering Bradford has pitched well to start the season. Now, the young southpaw is looking at missing at […]

Jackson Chourio Taking A Seat On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This appears to be a routine rest day for the rookie outfielder. The expectation is that Chourio will return to the lineup for their next game. In the meantime, Joey Wiemer is getting the start […]

Christian Yelich Remains Out On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran outfielder continues to deal with back discomfort and will be held out of at least one more game. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Yelich as day-to-day. However, Yelich could end up […]

Joc Pederson Sitting Versus Southpaw

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Pederson against a left-handed starting pitcher. The D-Backs will play matchups here and go with Blaze Alexander at designated hitter versus Steven Matz. There's not […]

Keibert Ruiz Remains Out On Friday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Ruiz is set to miss his third game in a row due to an illness. The good news is that this shouldn't be something that lands Ruiz on the injured list. In the meantime, Riley […]

Justin Verlander To Make Rehab Start On Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next minor league rehab start on Saturday at Double-A Corpus Christi. The 41-year-old appears to be progressing well and could return after this outing. Obviously, the Astros don't want to rush back Verlander, but they need help in the rotation. Fantasy managers will […]
