Josh Bell Collects Four Hits

Miami Marlins first baseman Josh Bell put together a memorable first game with his new team. The switch-hitter posted a strong 4-for-5 performance with a home run to help lead the Marlins to a 9-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Bell has struggled this season slashing .241/.326/.398 with 12 home runs. However, he looked good […]

Jeimer Candelario Continues Hot Stretch

Chicago Cubs infielder Jeimer Candelario collected four hits during his 2023 Cubs debut on Tuesday. He remained hot at the plate for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 29-year-old went 4-for-5 on Tuesday and followed that up with a 4-for-4 game on Wednesday. He collected four hits and scored four runs during Wednesday's 16-6 […]

Gregory Soto Blows Wednesday's Game

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Gregory Soto was called upon to shut the door against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The Phillies bullpen completely imploded as they allowed three runs over the final two innings. Soto allowed Jorge Soler to blast a 404-foot home run to tie the game in the ninth inning. It sounds like […]

Cole Ragans Tosses Six Shutout Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans looked sharp during Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. The left-hander tossed six shutout innings during his second start with Kansas City. He allowed seven hits, while walking one walk, and striking out eight in the win over New York. The expectation is that Ragans is going […]

Seby Zavala Continues Gaining Playing Time

Chicago White Sox catcher Seby Zavala has seen himself getting more work over the last week or so. Zavala will be making his sixth start behind the plate over the last seven games. Yasmani Grandal finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row. It's unclear if Grandal is dealing with an […]

Daniel Vogelbach Sitting Versus Left-Hander

New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach will take a seat during Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The left-handed slugger will sit this game out with left-handed starter Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City. Vogelbach is 3-for-12 over his last four games, so he could use a break here. Mark Vientos […]

Domingo German Placed On Restricted List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German has been placed on the restricted list on Wednesday. The team announced that German has agreed to voluntarily submit to inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse. The 30-year-old will be away from the organization for an unknown period of time. There's a good chance that German doesn't pitch again […]

James Kaprielian Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian (shoulder) underwent successful right shoulder surgery on Wednesday. The right-hander is done for the season and is likely to miss time in 2024 as well. He was rehabbing his shoulder injury, but has decided to undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair a labrum injury. Before that, Kaprielian held a rough […]

J.D. Martinez Remains Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran outfielder will miss another game after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest. The Dodgers haven't announced the results on the MRI, so it's assumed that Martinez is day-to-day right now. Hopefully, Martinez […]

Jonathan Arauz Recalled, Playing On Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Jonathan Arauz has been recalled ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The 24-year-old is set to make his Mets' debut after playing 95 games in Triple-A Syracuse. During that time, Arauz held a .773 OPS with 14 home runs and two steals. He played with both the Boston […]

Padres Land Scott Barlow

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow is being traded to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. The right-handed reliever will be moved in exchange for pitchers Jesus Rio and Henry Williams. The Padres appear to be hanging onto Josh Hader, which isn't going to help Barlow's value going forward. Barlow is basically going to […]

Red Sox Make A Move For Luis Urias

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias is headed to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for right-handed pitcher Bradley Blalock. The 26-year-old infielder has been dreadful at the plate this season, but the Red Sox want to see if they can tap into his potential. Urias is slashing .145/.299/.236 with one home run and five RBI […]

Josh Bell Headed To Marlins

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Bell is on the move to the Miami Marlins. The switch-hitting cover infielder will head over to Miami in exchange for infielders Jean Segura and Kahlil Watson. The Guardians recently acquired top prospect Kyle Manzardo in a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. That being said, they wanted […]

Orioles Acquire Jack Flaherty

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty has been traded to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The O's needed to make a move to improve their rotation and getting Flaherty should help them. He has registered a 4.43 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, with a 106/54 K/BB ratio across 20 starts this season. In exchange, the Cardinals […]

Josh Naylor Scratched On Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (side) has been scratched ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. The left-handed slugger has been pulled from the lineup due to right-side tightness. The hope is that it's only a minor issue and isn't a something like an oblique injury. For the moment, fantasy managers should consider […]

Tommy Pham Traded To Diamondbacks

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham was expected to be moved all week long and will now be a last-second deadline move. The 35-year-old is headed to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for 17-year-old shortstop Jeremy Rodriguez. This was probably the best deal the Mets were going to get on the impending free agent. Pham […]

Amir Coffey Arrested On Gun Possession

Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey was arrested on misdemeanor possession of a firearm in a car where he was a passenger over the weekend. The car was pulled over for speeding, but the police smelled marijuana as they approached the vehicle and searched it. They found a gun that Coffey admitted was his and […]

Raptors Sign Garrett Temple

Free-agent forward Garrett Temple has agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million deal with the Toronto Raptors. The 37-year-old was recently waived by the New Orleans Pelicans after spending each of the last two seasons with them. The veteran forward has been bounced around the league throughout his career. He doesn't exactly offer much fantasy value […]

Jose Urquidy Roughed Up During Rehab Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) made his fourth and hopefully his final rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on Sunday. The right-hander was hit around for five runs over four innings of work. The good news is, Urquidy increased his pitch count to 76 and is expected to rejoin the Astros rotation later […]

A.J. Minter Activated From Injured List

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since early June due to inflammation in his left shoulder. He appears healthy now and ready to rejoin the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Before going down, Minter […]

Alex Verdugo Available For Trade

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is reportedly on the trade block ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. It seems like the Red Sox are trying to take advantage of the fact there aren't many quality bats available at the trade deadline. The 27-year-old still has one more season left on his deal before he's a […]

Nestor Cortes Jr. To Make Another Rehab Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. (shoulder) is set to make another minor league rehab start on Monday. The left-hander looked sharp during his second rehab start on Friday. It appears the team wants to give Cortes one more start before bringing him back to the big league rotation. The 28-year-old only threw […]

AJ Smith-Shawver Optioned To Minors

Atlanta Braves pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Left-hander reliever A.J. Minter has been activated from the injured list, so Smith-Shawver was the odd man out. Honestly, there isn't a spot for Smith-Shawver in the starting rotation with Max Fried likely returning soon. The 20-year-old allowed three runs over five […]

D'Andre Swift Used Primarily In Passing Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift has reportedly been lining up all over the field early in camp. ESPN's Tim McManus has confirmed that Swift is primarily being used in the passing game right now. That's interesting as Rashaad Penny as been getting the early downs in the running game, while Swift focuses in the […]

Jonathan Taylor Dealing With Injury

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (back) is dealing with an injury that he suffered while working out on his own in Arizona. The 24-year-old is currently on the PUP list while he works his way back from ankle surgery. The Colts are considering placing Taylor on the non-football injury list. This news comes a […]

Zach Charbonnet Out Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury during practice. The team announced that Charbonnet is out indefinitely after suffering a shoulder injury. That's a shame as the second-round pick was expected to have a legitimate role to begin the season. The Seahawks are also without […]

Kenneth Walker III Dealing With Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was sidelined during Sunday's practice due to injury. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker could be sidelined for a decent amount of time. It sounds like the Seahawks are taking the cautious approach and holding out Walker, so the injury can heal. It might not be […]

Nolan Jones Pulled Out Early On Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones was pulled out early during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. There was some concern that the 25-year-old suffered an injury, but that might not have been the case. It sounds like his exit was precautionary due to cramping. The expectation is he'll be fine going forward, so fantasy managers […]

Mike Yastrzemski Exits Early On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This is a bit concerning considering this is the third time that Yastrzemski has battled a hamstring issue this season. At the moment, it's uncertain how serious this injury is as the Giants likely pulled […]

J.D. Martinez To Undergo MRI

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI after suffering an injury during Sunday's game.
