Lou Trivino Named Opener for Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Lou Trivino will serve as the opener ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Will Smith Riding the Bench on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith heads to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Smith is absent from the starting lineup after starting in each of the last three games. During that span, Smith went 3-for-13 with a home run, three RBI, and a walk. In his absence, Dalton Rushing […]

Nathan Lukes Scratched on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The severity of the issue is unknown, but Lukes has been pulled from the lineup due to neck discomfort. For now, fantasy managers should consider Lukes as day-to-day until more information is […]

Jonah Heim Resting on Tuesday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This is a routine rest day for Heim who has been in a terrible slump at the plate.

Jorge Soler Returns to the Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Athletics. Soler is back in action after missing each of the last two games due to a lingering groin issue. This doesn't appear to be a serious issue, but it is something that Soler has dealt […]

Christian Yelich Absent on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine rest day for Yelich who has started in each of the last seven games. Over the last three games, Yelich is 1-for-9, so a rest day looks like it's needed. […]

Gabriel Moreno Returns from Three-Game Absence

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Moreno has missed the last three games after getting hit in the right hand during Friday's game. He missed a few games due to inflammation in his hand, but appears to be ready to go […]

Shohei Ohtani Playing on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (foot) is in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani appears to be fine after getting hit in the foot by a pitch on Sunday. It didn't appear to be a significant issue, but also wouldn't be shocking to see the Dodgers […]

Jorge Soler Still Out on Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the A's. Soler aggravated his groin issue over the weekend and as a result he'll sit out his second straight game on Monday. The Angels are hopeful Soler is able to avoid a trip to the injured […]

Michael Conforto Absent on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine rest day for Conforto, but a bit odd to see it happening against a right-handed starter. The Dodgers have been platooning Conforto in left field this season. In […]

Gabriel Moreno Remains Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This marks the third game in a row that Moreno will sit out after being hit in the hand during Friday's game. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Moreno appears to have avoided a […]

Ryan Weathers Placed on 60-Day Injured List

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (lat) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Monday. Weathers was pulled from his most recent start on Saturday after reportedly dealing with discomfort. The Marlins had Weathers undergo further testing, which revealed a lat strain. This looks like it's going to be a lengthy absence with […]

Nick Kurtz Activated, Playing on Monday

Athletics rookie first baseman Nick Kurtz (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Kurtz is back in the mix after being sidelined since late May due to a hip flexor strain. The rookie first baseman needed only one rehab appearance before rejoining the A's roster. He'll serve as the designated hitter and […]

Freddy Peralta Throws Six Scoreless Innings

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta bounced back nicely during Sunday's outing against the San Diego Padres. Coming into this start, Peralta had allowed six earned runs over his last two starts. Peralta was sharp in this one as the Padres could barely touch his stuff. The right-hander tossed six shutout innings, allowing one hit, […]

Jack Flaherty Tosses Six Shutout Innings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was once again sharp on the mound during Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Flaherty retired the first nine batters he faced as the Cubs had no answers for him. The right-hander put himself in trouble in the fourth inning, but he was able to work through it without […]

Jake Meyers Registers Four Hits

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers refused to get out during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Meyers had two hits during the first two games of this series, but doubled that on Sunday. The 28-year-old went 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, and a run scored in the loss. Meyers has proven to be a consistent […]

Paul Skenes Looks Excellent in No-Decision

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes was once again fantastic on the mound, but didn't get much run support. Skenes had seemingly no issues as he threw 7 ⅔ innings, allowing only two hits while striking out seven batters in a no-decision. The right-hander has now allowed one earned run or less in six straight […]

Kerry Carpenter Not Expected to Miss Time

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) made an early exit from Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Carpenter was taken out of the game following a double in the seventh inning. Afterwards, Carpenter admitted that he's still battling through hamstring tightness. That being said, the Tigers are expected to be cautious with Carpenter going forward. […]

Marcelo Mayer Heads to the Bench

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Mayer will head to the bench with left-hander Carlos Rodon throwing for the Yankees on Sunday. The 22-year-old appears to be in a straight platoon as he continues to sit out against left-handed pitching. Mayer hasn't exactly been […]

Raisel Iglesias Removed From Closer Role

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias has been reportedly removed from the primary closer role. Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters on Friday that Iglesias won't be the closer going forward. This move isn't shocking considering Iglesias holds a 6.75 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and 25/6 K/BB ratio this season. He's only 8-for-12 in save situations, […]

Jordan Westburg Expected to Return on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hamstring) appears to be on the verge of returning to the big-league roster. Westburg has been crushing the ball in the minors during his rehab assignment. He's slashing .360/.429/.760 with two home runs and five RBI across 28 plate appearances. Recently, O's interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters Westburg is […]

Denzel Clarke Returning on Sunday

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (shoulder) will make his way back into the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Clarke sat out of Saturday's contest after suffering a shoulder contusion on Friday. It's a bit surprising to see Clarke back after only one game, but that's good news for the A's. Clarke […]

Jorge Soler Absent on Sunday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Unsurprisingly, Soler will head to the bench after exiting early on Saturday due to a lingering groin issue. The expectation is Soler will undergo further testing before the organization decides if he'll need a […]

Cal Raleigh Gets Day Off

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh will head to the bench ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is a well deserved rest day for Raleigh who is in the middle of a hot stretch at the plate. The switch-hitting catcher blasted two home runs during Friday's contest. In his absence, Mitch Garver […]

Brenton Doyle Sitting Out on Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Doyle is in the middle of an ugly slump, so hopefully a day off will help him get back on track. He's currently 3-for-31 over his last eight games. The offensive struggles have made Doyle […]

Danny Jansen Collects Three Hits

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Danny Jansen was an unlikely hero at the plate during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Jansen did a little of everything in this game, including a two-run home run in the fourth inning. He would finish this game 3-for-4 with a homer, double, and three runs scored in the loss. […]

Ronny Mauricio Hits Homer on Saturday

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio posted a solid performance at the plate during Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Mauricio took right-hander German Marquez deep in the third inning for his first homer of the season. It was a quality outing from Mauricio who finished the game 2-for-4 with a homer, stolen base, and […]

Austin Wells Homers in Loss

New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells was able to do some damage against tough southpaw Garrett Crochet on Saturday. Wells got the better of Crochet in the second inning with a three-run blast off the Boston ace. He would later add another RBI with a double in the fourth inning. He finished his night 2-for-4 […]

Cal Raleigh Smashes Two Homers

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been on another level lately with the bat. On Saturday, Raleigh opened the scoring with a three-run home run off right-hander Jack Kochanowicz in the first inning. His day wouldn't end there as Raleigh would go deep again in the ninth inning off right-hander Kenley Jansen. Raleigh is hitting […]

Jo Adell Homers Twice in Win

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell came ready to swing the bat during Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Adell took right-hander Luis Castillo deep in the second inning. After that, Adell got Castillo again with another home run in the fourth inning. He finished his night 3-for-3 with two homers, three RBI, and a […]
