Anthony DeSclafani Could Return This Weekend

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) could return to the starting rotation by the end of the week.

Fantasy managers should […]

Dansby Swanson Takes Yankees Deep On Monday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has put together an impressive season with the bat. On Monday, Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Wandy Peralta. It marked Swanson's 23rd blast of the season as he has blown by his former career high in homers that was set at 17. Sadly, the Braves […]

Andy Ibanez Continues Hot Stretch

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez hit a clutch game-tying double in the ninth inning of Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard was able to hold his own against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. He went six innings, four hits allowed, three earned runs, three walks, and five strikeouts in the 8-4 loss. Allard did allow a pair of home runs in the game, which seems to be a common […]

Mike Foltynewicz Lands On COVID-19 List

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

That being said, youngster Spencer Howard should start on Wednesday with righty Dane Dunning going on Thursday. Neither of those pitchers are […]

Mike Ford Claimed By Nationals

The Washington Nationals have claimed first baseman Mike Ford off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday.

Luke Weaver Has Rehab Assignment Stopped

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Luke Weaver (shoulder) had his rehab assignment put on pause due to close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

Tim Anderson Miss Third Game In A Row

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (leg) will miss his third game in a row on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The organization claims that Anderson is dealing with general leg soreness.

Zack Britton Could Miss Significant Time

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 20.

George Springer Increasing Baseball Activities

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) did some running and also is scheduled to take batting practice ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The fact Springer was able to run is a good sign moving forward. He has been sidelined roughly a week while dealing with a Grade 1 left knee […]

Gregory Polanco Starting On Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco was placed on outright waivers on Sunday. Despite that, he'll be starting in right field versus righty Will Crowe and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. It's unlikely that any team claims Polanco since he's hitting .199 with 11 home runs and 34 RBI this season. Regardless, a chance of scenery […]

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber will move into the outfield for Monday' s game against the Texas Rangers. This will be Schwarber's first time in outfield since joining his new club.

Corey Davis Shines Versus Packers

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis lit up the Green Bay Packers defense during their preseason contest on Saturday. Davis hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 70 yards in the victory over Green Bay.

La'Mical Perine Slowed Down In Second Preseason Matchup

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine was not a reliable option on the ground versus the Green Bay Packers.
