Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, but is out of the lineup for the second straight game. It looks like the return of Adam Duvall is going to strip away playing […]

Seiya Suzuki Absent On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki is absent from Saturday's starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 28-year-old outfielder.

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This appears to be a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger.

The right-hander figures to spend a few months […]

James Karinchak Optioned To Minors

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher James Karinchak has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. This is a bit of a surprise considering Karinchak has been pitching fairly well this season. He's posting a 3.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 38/19 K/BB ratio across 32 appearances. The expectation is that the 27-year-old will be back on roster […]

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine rest day for the right-handed slugger.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A St. Paul.

Ryan Mountcastle Sitting Out On Friday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) is absent from Friday' starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals. The 26-year-old is feeling under the weather, so the team will give him a day off to rest. This doesn't sound like anything serious, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Anthony Santander will cover first base […]

Julio Urias Won't Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias (hamstring) was expected to make his return from the injured list and pitch against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He has missed each of the last four games due to wrist soreness.

Pierce Johnson Removed From Closer Role

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Pierce Johnson has been officially removed from the closer role, according to manager Bud Black. The right-hander has been struggling lately, so it's not surprising that the Rockies have decided to make a change.

Jorge Polanco Absent For Friday's Game

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. As expected, Polanco won't play here after being removed early during Thursday's game due to left hamstring tightness. The hope is that the 29-year-old will just need a few days of rest and can […]

Yordan Alvarez Officially Placed On Injured List

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This was expected after manager Dusty Baker mentioned Alvarez was likely to end up missing time.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To Miss Fifth Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This marks the third game in a row that Fraley has missed due to a wrist contusion. It sounds like a minor issue, so the organization is hopeful to avoid the injured list. In the […]

Anthony Bass Designated For Assignment

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Anthony Bass has been designated for assignment by the organization on Friday. Bass recently shared an anti-LGBTQ+ video on social media. The highly-publicized off-field controversy was enough for the Blue Jays to move on from the 35-year-old. He has been struggling this season, posting a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and […]

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cole Irvin will get the nod versus the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. This marks the first time that Irvin as made a start since April 13.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool is reportedly in a better place with the offense, according to offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.

Despite that, Claypool […]

Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson (foot) recently returned to practice in OTAs. The two-time Pro Bowl safety suffered a Lisfranc injury near the end of November.

Hunter Renfrow Receiving Little Trade Interest

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is reportedly on the trade block, but has been receiving little interest. The 27-year-old is heading into his second-to-last year of his contract extension. The Renfrow trade rumors started after the Raiders signed wideout Jakobi Meyers during free agency. The acquisition of Meyers made Renfrow expendable, but it […]
