Rockies Fire Bud Black

The Colorado Rockies have relieved manager Bud Black of his duties following Sunday's win over the San Diego Padres. It was just a matter of time before Black was going to get fired. It's really not his fault, but someone needs to be held responsible for the league-worst 7-33 record to start the season. The […]

Brandon Marsh Absent On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. It's a bit odd to see Marsh getting the day off against a right-handed starting pitcher. However, Marsh did recently return from the injured list, so possibly the Phillies are just being cautious. In his place, […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Receiving Threats After Saturday's Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. was reportedly receiving threats following a horrendous outing during Saturday's game. The right-hander received threats to himself and his family after McCullers struggled on Saturday. McCullers allowed seven runs and was only able to record one out before being taken out of the game. Afterwards, the Astros needed […]

Luis Robert Jr. Drawing Interest From Mets

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is reportedly drawing interest from around the league. The New York Mets are taking a look at Robert as a possible mid-season addition to their roster.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas (wrist) appears to be making good progress in his recovery from a bone bruise in his right wrist.

Jacob deGrom Records 10 Strikeouts

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom had his swing-and-miss stuff going for him during Saturday's start against the Detroit Tigers.

Ranger Suarez Throws Seven Shutout Innings

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez bounced back nicely during Saturday's start against the Cleveland Guardians. Suarez was crushed for seven runs during his season debut, but looked much better on the mound in this one.

Jose Altuve Exits Early On Saturday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It's unclear how Altuve suffered the hamstring issue as he was replaced by Brendan Rodgers in the third inning. Altuve walked in his lone plate appearance and came around to score in the first […]

Oneil Cruz Exits With Back Issue

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz (back) made a late exit during Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Cruz appears to have tweaked his back during the ninth inning of this contest.

Anthony Santander Remains Out On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Santander injured his shoulder during Thursday's game and as a result he'll miss his second straight game. It's worth noting that Santander could be available off the bench, which means his injury isn't too […]

Casey Mize Heading To Injured List

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 9. The right-hander was fantastic against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. He gave up one earned run across six innings of work. However, Mize reportedly injured his hamstring during the late stages of that outing. As a […]

Yordan Alvarez Not Swinging The Bat

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) is reportedly feeling better, but isn't ready to swing the bat yet, according to manager Joe Espada. Alvarez is currently on the injured list while he recovers from a muscle strain in his right hand. It seems unlikely at the moment that Alvarez will come off the injured […]

Will Smith Gets Night Off On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will head to the bench ahead of Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This appears to be a routine rest day for Smith who has started each of the first two games of this series. As a result, Smith will take the night off and Austin Barnes will do […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Resting On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gurriel came up with a clutch hit on Friday when he blasted a game-tying grand slam and totaled five RBI in the loss. The right-handed slugger has played in 12 straight games, so he'll […]

Mike Trout Begins Swinging The Bat

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) appears to be progressing from a bone bruise that landed him on the injured list roughly a week ago. The superstar outfielder has been reportedly swinging the bat without any issues. The organization is hopeful that Trout can begin running next week. It sounds like Trout no longer […]

Jorge Soler Remains Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-handed slugger will miss his second game in a row after being scratched ahead of Friday's game due to what is being viewed as a minor groin issue. The organization is hopeful that […]

Ian Happ Absent On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (oblique) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Mets. Happ reportedly felt something in his oblique following his first plate appearance on Friday. The switch-hitter stayed in the game, but will get Saturday night off as a precaution. It wouldn't be shocking to […]

Will Vest Earns Save On Friday

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Will Vest was called upon to hold a one-run lead against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The Tigers elected to use Tommy Kahnle in the eighth inning and give Vest the final frame in this game. Vest was getting more save chances earlier in the season, but this was his first […]

Tarik Skubal Records 12 Strikeouts In Win

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal was excellent on the mound during Friday's outing against the Texas Rangers. The southpaw retired the first 15 batters he faced before giving up a single in the sixth inning. The Rangers would evenutally push across a run, but it was still an incredible performance by Skubal. The reigning […]

Connor Joe Traded To Reds

The San Diego Padres have traded outfielder/first baseman Connor Joe to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. In exchange, the Padres will receive right-hander Andrew Moore and cash considerations. The 32-year-old outfielder was hitless in nine plate appearances before getting traded. Joe doesn't have great career stats, but is someone who could be a contributor off […]

Alejandro Kirk Takes A Seat On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Kirk saw his six-game hitting streak come to an end when he went 0-for-4 during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Now, Kirk will get the night off on Friday and fantasy managers are […]

Austin Wells Resting On Friday

New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Athletics. Wells will get a rest day here after starting in all three games during their most recent series against the San Diego Padres. He went 3-for-12 with a home run and five RBI during that series. […]

Evan Phillips Shut Down For Two Weeks

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Evan Phillips (elbow) was recently placed on the 15-day injured list due to forearm discomfort. An MRI revealed that Phillips is dealing with elbow inflammation, so he'll likely be sidelined longer than expected. For now, Phillips will be shut down for the next two weeks before hopefully beginning a throwing […]

Kris Bubic Throws Seven Scoreless Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic had seemingly no problems on the mound during Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The left-hander tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing six hits, and striking out seven batters in the win. Somehow, Bubic has thrown three scoreless outings over his last four starts. It's worth noting he […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Posts Four-Hit Game

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was hitting the ball all over the place during Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Witt extended his five-game hitting streak in this game and gave fantasy managers a big performance as well. Witt went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, and two stolen bases in the […]

Rafael Devers Won't Move To First Base

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers reportedly has no interest in moving over to first base. Devers appears to be frustrated with the front office after they already forced him off third base during spring training. Devers was turned into a full-time DH with the Red Sox moving Alex Bregman over to third base. […]

Andres Gimenez Remains Out On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez (quad) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Gimenez made an early exit on Wednesday due to right quad tightness. The assumption is he underwent an MRI and the organization is still waiting for the results. That being said, Gimenez will […]
