Anthony Rendon Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup against the San Diego Padres. This doesn't come as a surprise after Rendon exited early during Tuesday's game. The right-handed slugger fouled a ball off his shin, but luckily the X-rays came back negative. The Angels didn't put Rendon on the […]

Shohei Ohtani Will Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (finger) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani made an early exit during Tuesday's start due to a blister issue on his finger. That being said, the right-hander won't pitch during the All-Star Game. However, this injury isn't going to be […]

Ty France To Sit Out On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (ribs) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

The Mariners haven't placed […]

Ketel Marte To Miss Another Game

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (back) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. This marks the second game in a row that Marte has missed due to an ongoing back issue. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so the team is just going to give him […]

Tommy Edman Scratched On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Miami Marlins. The organization has not given a reason for pulling Edman from the lineup. The hope is that it's a minor issue, but the team should give an update later in the night. In the meantime, Lars Nootbaar is […]

Michael Kopech To Return After All-Star Break

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (shoulder) is expected to make his return to the starting rotation after the All-Star break. He was recently placed on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so fantasy managers don't need to panic here. The White Sox likely just wanted […]

Alek Manoah Returning On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah has been recalled to make the start against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The 25-year-old was demoted in early June after posting a horrendous 6.36 ERA through 13 starts. He was roughed up in rookie-ball, but bounced back nicely during his start in Double-A. It appears the Blue […]

Mike Clevinger Likely To Return In Late July

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (biceps) is hopeful to get back on the field soon. Manager Pedro Grifol announced that Clevinger could return during the first or second trip through the rotation after the All-Star break.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment after the All-Star break. The switch-hitter has been sidelined since mid-June due to inflammation in his lower back. It sounds like Moncada has been slowly working his way back, but appears ready to get back into game action. […]

Noah Syndergaard Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (finger) was able to throw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday. The right-hander has been sidelined since early June due to a blister on his right index finger. The next step is for Syndergaard to throw a three-inning simulated game. After that, the 30-year-old will likely head back […]

Anthony Edwards Gets Massive Extension

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards agreed to a five-year, $260 million max extension with the organization. The 21-year-old is one of the brightest young stars in the game, so it's not surprising to see the T-Wolves lock him up. Edwards averaged career-highs in points (24.6), rebounds (5.8), assists (4.4) last season. He'll be the team's […]

Mason Plumlee Returning To Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a one-year deal with center Mason Plumlee on Monday. The 33-year-old has decided to re-sign with the organization on a one-year, $5 million deal.

Joey Gallo Sitting Out Versus Lefty

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is absent from Monday's starting lineup versus the Kansas City Royals.

This season, Gallo is slashing a rough .193/.311/.487 with 15 home runs and 28 RBI […]

Sixto Sanchez Resumes Throwing Program

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) has reportedly resumed his throwing program. The right-hander is throwing from 90-105 feet, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. He was previously shut down due to a setback with his right shoulder. The team plans to build Sanchez up slowly, so it's uncertain when he'll make […]

Steven Kwan Returning To The Lineup

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Kwan is back in action following a one-game absence due to a left shoulder injury. The 25-year-old will cover left field and bat leadoff versus right-hander Bryce Elder on Monday. Fantasy managers should double check their […]

Jordan Westburg Sitting Out On Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. The 24-year-old was hit by a pitch on the left hand during Sunday's game. As a precaution, the O's will hold Westburg out of this game. It wouldn't be shocking to see Westburg sit a […]

Austin Hays Absent On Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (wrist) is absent from Monday's starting lineup versus the New York Yankees. This isn't surprising considering Hays suffered a left hip contusion from Sunday's game. He suffered the injury when he collided with Reds infielder Donovan Solano during their last contest. It's not shocking to see the O's being extremely […]

Nick Madrigal Removed Early On Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Madrigal suffered a hamstring injury when he collided into the wall in foul territory. He exited the game with what the team is calling right hamstring tightness. The assumption is that Madrigal will undergo further testing to […]

Shawn Dubin Looks Solid In First Career Start

Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Dubin was asked to take the mound versus the Texas Rangers for his first career MLB start on Sunday. The right-hander delivered a surprisingly solid performance here. Dubin went four innings, allowing three hits, and only one earned run in the 5-3 victory. The right-hander has missed some time due to […]

Gregory Santos Escapes With The Save

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Gregory Santos was called upon to hold a three-run lead against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The right-hander has been a fairly reliable option for the White Sox this season. However, Santos ran into some trouble during Sunday's game. Tony Kemp smacked a one-out single, JJ Bleday added a two-out […]

Javier Baez Hits Grand Slam On Sunday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is having a rough first half of the season. However, he was able to make some noise during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Baez connected on a first inning grand slam off Connor Seabold to kick off the game. It was the first time that Baez has homered since […]

Pete Alonso Blasts Home Run In Victory

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso showed off his power during Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

He also announced that […]

Steven Kwan Considered Day-To-Day

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (shoulder) was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. Kwan didn't play in the game after suffering a left shoulder injury when crashing into the wall earlier in the series. It doesn't sound like an issue that is going to force him onto the injured list. The […]

Carlos Estevez Slams The Door On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estevez was called upon to protect a three-run lead versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The right-hander allowed a leadoff single to Jake McCarthy to begin the ninth inning. However, Estevez battled back and retired the next three batters. The 30-year-old has converted all 21 of his save chances […]

Mickey Moniak Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak has been quietly having a good season through his first 28 games of the 2023 campaign. He came through as the hero during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Moniak unleashed a 406-foot three-run home run to give the Halos a 4-2 lead. He finished the game 1-for-3, but […]

Andrew Abbott Records 12 Strikeouts

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott was excellent during his start against the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Abbott left the game with […]
