Garrett Mitchell Likely to be Sidelined Until July

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has been making slow progress since his injury in April.

Sadly, Mitchell isn't making great […]

Blake Perkins Progressing Slowly

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Blake Perkins (shin) has been making progress, but sadly it's not going as well as the organization has hoped. Perkins has been cleared to resume baseball activities since late April. That being said, Perkins was expected to be back with the Brewers by now. Sadly, Perkins progress has been slow and has […]

Shane Bieber Pitches Well in Rehab Start

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber (elbow) was sharp on the mound during a rehab start for Rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Tyler Glasnow Moved to 60-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as this is only a procedural move to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. This move frees a spot for catcher Chuckie Robinson who was claimed off waivers on Saturday. […]

Jorge Polanco Idle on Saturday

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Polanco was struggling at the plate, but snapped a seven-game hitless streak during Friday's game. This appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran infielder. In his absence, Cal Raleigh will shift over to […]

Royce Lewis Absent from Saturday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. It's not shocking to see Lewis head to the bench considering he's in the middle of a 0-for-26 stretch at the plate. The Twins are hopeful that a day off will help him get his mind […]

Harrison Bader Returning on Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (finger) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Bader returns to the field after missing the last four games due to a right finger injury. He'll play left field and bat eighth versus right-hander Bryce Miller on Saturday. Usually, the status of Bader […]

Ben Rice Heads to the Bench

New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Daulton Varsho Exits Early on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (hamstring) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Athletics.

The expectation is that Varsho will undergo […]

Freddie Freeman Playing on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) is in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Freeman mentioned on Friday that he was dealing with discomfort on his surgically-repaired ankle. Despite that, Freeman will remain in the lineup, so it doesn't appear to be significant enough to put Freeman […]

Christian Yelich Blasts Two Homers in Win

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich continued his hot stretch of play against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Yelich smacked a three-run home run off Tanner Banks in the fifth inning. The left-handed slugger struck again as he added a solo shot Carlos Hernandez in the final frame. It was his 12th career multi-homer game as […]

Robert Stephenson Exits Early on Friday With Arm Injury

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Robert Stephenson (biceps) was removed early during Friday's outing against the Cleveland Guardians. Stephenson threw three pitches before exiting the contest. The right-hander just returned from Tommy John surgery, but appears to have avoided a major injury. Stephenson reportedly exited the contest due to biceps discomfort, so it's unrelated to […]

Zach Eflin Tosses Seven Scoreless Innings

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Zach Eflin bounced back nicely versus the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Coming into this start, Eflin had allowed 12 total earned runs over his last two starts. Eflin was sharp on Friday as he tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits, while striking out six batters in the win. To […]

Luis Gil Throws Bullpen Session on Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil (lat) took the mound for his first bullpen session since suffering his injury. Gil threw a 15-pitch outing without any issues, according to Yankees' manager Aaron Boone. This is a step in the right direction for Gil who is still a long way from getting back on the […]

Nick Kurtz to Begin Running Bases Next Weekend

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz (hip) continues to work his way back from a hip flexor issue that recently placed him on the injured list. The plan is for Kurtz to run the bases next weekend. If everything goes well, Kurtz should head out on a minor league rehab assignment. He'll likely play a few […]

Joe Mixon Currently in Walking Boot

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (foot) did not participate in voluntary OTA workouts on Friday. Mixon is currently in a walking boot, but it's reportedly not a serious injury. The star running back played through an ankle injury in the playoffs, so maybe it's not 100 percent healed yet. Regardless, fantasy managers shouldn't be […]

C.J. Stroud Dealing with Minor Injury

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (pectoral) is not throwing during voluntary OTAs this week. Stroud watched from the sideline on Friday as he's currently nursing a minor pectoral injury. The organization has downplayed this injury. The Texans aren't concerned at all and believe Stroud will increase his activities next week. For now, Davis Mills will […]

Dillon Gabriel Unlikely to Win Starting Gig

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel appears to be a longshot to win the starting gig to begin the season. Zac Jackson of The Athletic believes there's really no scenario where Gabriel wins the No. 1 spot on Day 1. This news shouldn't really shock anyone as Gabriel was a third-round pick during this year's draft. […]

49ers Nearing Trade for Bryce Huff

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Bryce Huff appears to be likely on his way to the San Francisco 49ers.

Despite that, Fairchild is reportedly available as a pinch-runner for the […]

Genesis Cabrera Officially Signs with Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have officially signed free-agent relief pitcher Genesis Cabrera to an undisclosed major-league contract.

It sounds like Cabrera will be available out […]

Danny Jansen Heads to the Bench

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Danny Jansen is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Astros.

Alejandro Kirk Back in the Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is back in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Now, Kirk will return […]

Bo Bichette Returns on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (back) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the A's. Bichette was out of the starting lineup on Wednesday due to back tightness.

The 30-year-old hasn't done much with the bat this season, but has been limited to only 14 games. Arcia was […]

Brenton Doyle Gets Day Off

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle will head to the bench ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Doyle has started in the last 10 games, so this appears to be a regular rest day for him. During that span, Doyle hit .242 with one homer, four RBI, and seven walks. In his absence, Mickey […]

Alejandro Kirk Heading to The Bench

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk will head to the bench ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Kirk will sit this game out after starting in the first two games of the series.

Bo Bichette Getting Rare Day Off

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This appears to be a rare rest day for Bichette who basically plays everyday. Bichette is in a bit of a slump as he's slashing .163/.217/.186 over his last 10 games. That being said, Bichette […]
