Cedric Mullins Doesn't Play Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (rest) was not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This was a routine rest day for Mullins, so fantasy managers don't have to worry about any injuries. Mullins has been on fire with the bat and should be rostered in every fantasy format. Austin […]

Steven Matz Placed On COVID Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz has been placed on the COVID injured list on Sunday. The left-handed starter is reportedly symptom-free and will undergo additional testing. The organization should give a better timetable once all the testing is completed. Jeremy Beasley has been recalled to take over Matz spot on the roster, but […]

Colin Moran Removed From Sunday's Contest

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (undisclosed) has been removed from Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Moran suffered an unknown injury while running the bases. The team hasn't given much information, so fantasy managers are likely going to be forced to wait until after the game. Phillip Evans subbed into the game and could […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Exits Due To Injury

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (pectoral) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The team reportedly removed Acuna as a precaution because he was dealing with right pectoral muscle tightness. The team should be able to give more details after the game. Hopefully it's just the type of issue […]

Angels Claim Jack Mayfield Off Waivers

Los Angeles Angels have decided to give Jack Mayfield another chance after designating him for assignment earlier in the season. On Sunday, they claimed Mayfield off waivers from the Seattle Mariners. He has struggled heavily during his time at the major league level. It's unlikely that he has much of a role on the Angels […]

Khris Davis Placed On Unconditional Release Waivers

Texas Rangers designated hitter Khris Davis was designated for assignment back on June 8. The veteran slugger has been placed on unconditional release waivers. Which means, Davis will become a free agent, assuming no other team claims him. Davis is slashing .157/.262/.333 with two home runs and five RBI this season. Regardless of where he […]

Javier Baez Returns To The Lineup Friday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He has missed each of the last three games due to right thumb soreness. It sounds like Baez is feeling good enough to get back into the lineup here. He'll bat third and play shortstop […]

P.J. Higgins Placed On Injured List

Chicago Cubs catcher P.J. Higgins (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. He was serving as the backup catcher, but really struggled at the plate during his stint on the big league roster. Jose Lobaton has been recalled from Triple-A to take over as the backup for Willson Contreras. The veteran […]

Rays Acquire Matt Wisler From Giants

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Michael Plassmeyer has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for pitcher Matt Wisler and cash considerations. This season, Wisler has a 6.05 ERA, 26/6 K/BB over 19 1/3 innings. Obviously, those aren't great stats, but the Rays find a way to turn mediocre players into league average or […]

Kohl Stewart To Start On Friday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kohl Stewart will make the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. He will take the spot of Kyle Hendricks who is getting his start pushed back to Saturday. Stewart holds a 3.12 ERA and 7/3 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings in two starts with Chicago. He won't be […]

Ramon Laureano Took Batting Practice Thursday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) was able to take batting practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It sounds like Laureano is making good progress from his right hip strain. He has been sidelined since June 1, but could return to the big league roster shortly. The young outfielder claims he […]

Adalberto Mondesi Takes Batting Practice Thursday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) was able to take batting practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It's also worth noting that Mondesi took fielding drills as well before Thursday's contest. It certainly seems that the young infielder is making solid progress. He has been sidelined since June 6 because of […]

Trevor Rosenthal Progressing Rapidly

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (shoulder) is reportedly progressing rapidly through his strength program, according to manager Bob Melvin. The veteran has not thrown a pitch for the big league roster yet due to injury. Rosenthal has not even played catch yet, but the organization is hopeful for a return by August. It's uncertain […]

Enoli Paredes Exits With Injury Thursday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Enoli Paredes (undisclosed) was unable to get through his outing against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. He already walked two batters and was clearly struggling with his command before the trainer came out. Brooks Raley took over for Paredes after he exited with an unknown injury. The team has not […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Pitches Well During Rehab Outing

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (shoulder) drew the start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday. He went four innings and allowed one run on 64 pitches.

Trent Grisham Beginning Rehab Assignment Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (hamstring) is leading off and playing center during his first rehab game at Triple-A on Thursday. He has been sidelined with a contusion on his left foot near his heel. It sounds like Grisham is making solid progress, but he should be able to return to the Padres roster […]

Cavan Biggio Could Return Over The Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio (neck) could possibly return off the injured list over the weekend. The young infielder is expected to join the big league roster for their trip to Boston. It sounds like Biggio could be activated for that series, but should at least be ready by the end of the […]

J.B. Wendelken To Throw Bullpen Session Friday

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher J.B. Wendelken (oblique) is scheduled to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Friday. He has been sidelined since early May due to a strained left oblique. It wouldn't be shocking to see Wendelken go on a rehab assignment after Friday, assuming everything goes well. Hopefully, the right-hander will be able to […]

Kevin Gausman Has Start Pushed Back

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is scheduled to take the mound on Saturday versus the Washington Nationals. He was supposed to start on Friday, but Thursday's contest has been postponed.

Max Scherzer Will Start Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer will have his start moved over to Friday versus the San Francisco Giants. He was scheduled to start on Thursday, but that won't happen with the game being postponed. Erick Fedde should take the mound for one of the games during Saturday's doubleheader. The second starter has not been […]

Beau Burrows Recalled, Rony Garcia Lands On IL

Detroit Tigers pitcher Beau Burrows has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. He will be taking the roster spot of Rony Garcia (knee) who has been placed on the 10-day injured list.

Yusei Kikuchi Listed As Saturday's Starter

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) is scheduled to make the start versus the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. He is currently listed as the starter, while Justin Dunn (shoulder) gets back into the mix on Friday. Kikuchi exited early during his last start when he took a comebacker to his knee. It sounds like […]

J.T. Realmuto Resting On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine day off, so fantasy managers don't need to worry about a possible injury. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh in this one. He hasn't […]

Travis Shaw Has Been Placed On IL

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He suffered a dislocated left shoulder when diving for a ball during Wednesday's contest. It sounds like the Brewers expect Shaw to miss a significant amount of time. Through 56 games, Shaw is hitting .191/.279/.337 batting line with […]

Colin Moran Not In The Lineup Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For the moment, fantasy managers can […]

Evan White Nearing Return

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is set to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He has been sidelined since May 14 due to a hip flexor injury. White is expected to play a few games in Triple-A and hopefully rejoin the big league team early next week. He is slashing […]

Trevor Cahill Activated Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He missed three weeks of action due to a left calf strain, but wasn't pitching well before that. Cahill has posted a 6.81 ERA through eight starts and could very well end up pitching out of the bullpen. The […]

Joey Gallo Exited Early On Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (groin) was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was removed due to groin tightness during the eighth inning. This is concerning since Gallo is likely going to be the Rangers' biggest trade chip at the deadline. Gallo slapped his 11th home run of […]

Scott Alexander Could Be Out Until July

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) could very well miss another month of action. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since early May due to inflammation in his shoulder. The Dodgers are expected to activate Tony Gonsolin on Wednesday, so Alexander might be moved to the 60-day injured list. That would create a […]

Sonny Gray To Undergo MRI Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (groin) was removed early during his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Gray exited during the top of the fourth inning due to groin tightness. It's a shame since Gray was pitching well until he was forced to exit. Fantasy managers are going to be need to wait […]
