Spencer Horwitz Absent on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. This is a rare off day for Horwitz who has started in every game since May 20. Horwitz has good power potential, but hasn't done much at the plate this season. He's slashing .230/.299/.328 with […]

Kumar Rocker Optioned to Minors

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kumar Rocker has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. Well this is unfortunate news, Rocker was activated off the injured list on Wednesday. He took the mound against the Tampa Bay Rays, but it didn't exactly go well for Rocker. The right-hander was hit around for five earned runs […]

Shea Langeliers Exits Early on Thursday

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (side) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's not exactly clear what's wrong with Langeliers, but he appears to have suffered a side or oblique injury during Thursday's contest. The expectation is that Langeliers will undergo further testing, so fantasy managers should get another update […]

Roki Sasaki Plays Catch on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki (shoulder) was seen playing catch at Dodger Stadium ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the New York Mets. Sasaki continues to work his way back from a right shoulder impingement that has kept him sidelined for nearly a month. The right-hander has started a throwing program, but is still […]

Tommy Edman Absent on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Tommy Edman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Edman will take a seat for the second straight game.

Will Smith Sitting Out on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Smith will now sit out for the second time in this series. He has been struggling lately going 0-for-9 over his last three games, so it makes sense to rest him on Wednesday. In […]

Jacob Wilson Officially Returns on Wednesday

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hip) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Wilson makes his way back to the lineup following a one-game absence due to a neck injury he suffered on Monday. This is great news for fantasy managers as Wilson has been crushing the ball this […]

Kerry Carpenter Scratched on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. It's unclear when Carpenter suffered the injury, but he has been pulled from the lineup due to hamstring tightness. Hopefully, it's only a day-to-day issue, but hamstring issues often do linger around. The […]

Tyler Glasnow to Throw This Week

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is reportedly feeling better from a shoulder issue that has sidelined him since late April. Glasnow is currently aiming to throw a bullpen session later this week. That's good news after it was recently reportedly that Glasnow wasn't making progress. The hope is that Glasnow can throw […]

Cole Ragans to Return on Thursday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans (groin) will be activated off the 15-day injured list to start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Vientos suffered a right hamstring strain during Monday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's unclear how long Vientos will be sidelined, but hamstring issues usually take at least a few weeks. In a corresponding move, infielder […]

Mookie Betts Officially Returning on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (toe) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Betts will make his return to the lineup after missing the last four games due to a fractured toe. Luckily, Betts didn't need to be placed on the injured list from this injury. […]

Jacob Wilson Absent on Tuesday With Neck Injury

Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson (neck) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's not shocking to see Wilson getting a rest day after suffering a neck injury during Monday's contest. It sounds like a minor issue, so for now fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day. Wilson has […]

Luis Robert Jr. Getting Time Off

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. White Sox manager Will Venable said Robert won't start on Tuesday or Wednesday. The team is giving him a few days off to work through some problems. Robert is currently in the middle of […]

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Colton Cowser Activated on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (thumb) was activated off the 60-day injured list on Monday. Cowser is finally back with the team after missing a majority of the season due to a fractured left thumb. Cowser figures to immediately slide into the starting outfield, especially with Cedric Mullins (hamstring) sidelined right now. Last season, Cowser […]

Royce Lewis Absent on Monday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics. This marks the third time in the last six games that Lewis has been absent from the starting lineup. He's in the middle of an 0-for-30 stretch at the plate, so it's not shocking to see the […]

Spencer Torkelson Sitting Out on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Torkelson will get a rest day here after registering only two hits over his last three games. The right-handed slugger has lost some steam after coming out of the gate hot to begin the […]

Mookie Betts Remains Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts (toe) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the New York Mets.

Miami Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards made his first start since returning from the injured list on Sunday. The San Francisco Giants pitchers had no answers for Edwards during this game. Edwards went 5-for-5 at the plate with a double and one RBI in the loss. It's hard to believe that Edwards reached base five times […]

Pete Crow-Armstrong Productive on Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was all over the field during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Crow-Armstrong came into this game in a 2-for-18 slump, but was productive on Sunday. He went 3-for-4 with three singles, one RBI, two stolen bases, and three runs scored in the win. Crow-Armstrong is in the middle of […]

Kyle Tucker Avoids Serious Injury

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (finger) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. At the time, it seemed odd that Tucker was being removed because it didn't appear that he suffered any injuries. Later, it was revealed that Tucker jammed his finger at some point during the game. Luckily, the X-rays were […]

Corbin Burnes Exits Early Due to Arm Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (arm) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals. Oh no, Burnes showed signs of decreased velocity before being taken out during the fifth inning. The expectation is that Burnes will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. It's never […]

Aroldis Chapman Earns Ninth Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was handed the ball with a two-run lead in the ninth inning during Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Braves.

Garrett Crochet Records 12 Strikeouts

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet was tough to hit during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Crochet gave up an early home run to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning.
