Mallex Smith Signs Minor League Deal With Reds

The Cincinnati Reds have signed outfielder Mallex Smith to a minor league deal. The 28-year-old speedster signed a deal with the Mets over the winter, but was released in late May. Smith was recovering from a broken foot, but it appears he is healthy now. Smith is a career .255/.325/.361 hitter over his time in […]

Evan Longoria Could Resume Swinging Soon

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) could begin swinging a bat again soon. It has already been two weeks into Longoria's projected six-to-eight week timetable. He continues to work his way back from a left shoulder strain. The hope is that Longo will be ready shortly after the All-Star break. He was playing […]

Phillies Sign Jake Elmore

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed infielder Jake Elmore to a minor league deal. He has not appeared in an MLB game since 2019. During that season, Elmore batted .213/.245/.234 in 20 games. Elmore has never hit well during his time in the majors and that's unlikely going to change. This is mostly a depth signing […]

Tejay Antone Activated Off Injured List On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (forearm) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He has been sidelined for a couple of weeks due to right forearm inflammation. However, Antone was able to get through a few bullpen sessions without any issues and will return on Tuesday. He has been excellent with […]

Jeff Hoffman Cleared For Rehab Assignment

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) has been cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment in Triple-A. He has been out for roughly a month due to a right shoulder impingement. There's a good chance that Hoffman will need a few rehab starts before he is able to rejoin the Reds rotation. Before […]

Dellin Betances Continues Rehab Assignment In Triple-A

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) will have his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A. He tossed two scoreless appearances out of his three outings in Class-A. However, one of them he did allow five earned runs, which is alarming. Despite that, the Mets are in desperate need of arms out of the bullpen. […]

Sonny Gray Will Make Rehab Start On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (shoulder) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Thursday. He has missed each of the last two weeks while dealing with a right groin strain. The hope is that Gray is able to rejoin the Reds by the weekend series against the Atlanta Braves. Fantasy managers should […]

Andy Ibanez Smacks First MLB Homer

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez is currently in his second stint with the organization this season. Sadly, Ibanez only collected three hits during his time with the team last month. Finally, things are starting to turn around for Ibanez as he smacked his first MLB home run on Monday. He went 1-for-4 with his homer […]

Kyle Gibson Continues Undefeated Streak

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson held the opposing Oakland Athletics offense in check on Monday. He went 5 1/3 innings, allowing five hits, two earned runs, three walks, and three strikeouts. Gibson helped the Rangers win this contest and moved his W/L record to an impressive 5-0 on the season. He has been one […]

Aaron Civale Will Visit With Hand Specialist

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Aaron Civale (hand) was unable to get through his entire outing versus the Chicago Cubs on Monday. He was pulled out of the game after throwing 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Civale will be sent to the same hand specialist who treated Zach Plesac and Roberto Perez. It's worth noting that both […]

Taylor Hearn Will Start On Tuesday

Texas Rangers pitcher Taylor Hearn will draw the start on the mound versus the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. This is normally Jordan Lyles turn in the rotation, but he'll get some extra rest. Manager Chris Woodward has mentioned the possibility that Hearn becomes a full-time starter in the rotation. This is likely just a spot […]

Adolis Garcia Collects Two Hits

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia was one of the few bright spots for this team during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Garcia went 2-for-2 with a home run and a double as Texas lost their sixth game in a row. On Friday, Garcia snapped his 17-game home run drought and now is back to […]

Joey Gallo Smacks Homer On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo has not put together the type of stat line that fantasy managers were hopeful to get from him. However, he continues hitting absolute moon shots, which is something positive to write about. On Sunday, Gallo went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and a one strikeout in the loss […]

Dane Dunning Hit Around By Twins

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning did not look like himself during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Dunning went four innings, allowing a career-high 10 hits, while surrendering three earned runs. It's also worth noting that he walked two batters and struck out five over the course of his outing on Sunday. Despite this […]

Aaron Sanchez Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (bicep) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. This clears room on the 40-man roster for John Brebbia to return from injury. Sanchez has been sidelined since early May due to bicep tendinitis. Despite being transferred, Sanchez is eligible to return in early July. It's […]

John Brebbia Activated Sunday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher John Brebbia (elbow) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Sunday. He has been sidelined since last June after he underwent Tommy John surgery. Last offseason, the Cardinals non-tendered Brebbia, but the Giants were willing to take a chance on him. Since 2017, Brebbia has a 3.14 ERA […]

Austin Gomber Lands On Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He exited early during Saturday's start due to left forearm tightness. Unsurprisingly, Gomber will head to the injured list and does not have a timetable attached. Hopefully, Gomber won't miss more than the minimal 10 days, but fantasy managers are […]

George Springer Likely To Drop In Batting Order

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quad) is nearing a return and is currently rehabbing in Triple-A Buffalo. Springer has been banged up all season long and has taken just 17 plate appearances with Toronto. On Sunday, manager Charlie Montoyo mentioned that Springer is likely going to bat fifth or sixth when he does return. […]

Daniel Hudson Expected To Travel With Team

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) is expected to travel with the organization for their upcoming road trip. The 34-year-old is currently on the 10-day injured list while dealing with right elbow inflammation. He hasn't pitched for Washington in over a week, so he'll likely need a few rehab outings or bullpen sessions before […]

Kyle Tucker To Be Activated Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) is expected to return for Monday's series against the Baltimore Orioles. He has been sidelined due to a stomach bug that has reportedly made him lose 10 pounds. Despite that, it sounds like Tucker will be able to get back on the field for Monday's contest. He'll sit out […]

Touki Toussaint Making Rehab Start Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint (shoulder) had his rehab assignment transferred to Double-A Mississippi. The 24-year-old is expected to take the mound Sunday for the Double-A Braves. He has been sidelined all year while recovering from a right shoulder strain. The good news is, Toussaint might be able to join the Braves soon, assuming […]

Nick Ramirez, Mason Thompson Recalled Sunday

San Diego Padres relief pitchers Nick Ramirez and Mason Thompson have been recalled from the minors on Sunday. The Padres will get a few fresh arms out of their bullpen, but fantasy managers don't need to worry much about them. Ramirez likely won't last too long on the active roster and has struggled during his […]

Sam Howard Placed On Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Sam Howard (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This won't be a huge loss for Pittsburgh, but Howard did see significant time out of the Pirates bullpen. He's posting a 4.44 ERA with 35 strikeouts through 26.3 innings pitched this season. Austin Davis will take over his spot […]

Nick Castellanos Resting On Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. This is not surprising after seeing Castellanos hitting .160 on this current road trip. Besides that, Castellanos has been unstoppable at the plate and needs to remain rostered in every fantasy format. This is a […]

Zach Thompson To Start Versus Cubs On Sunday

Miami Marlins pitcher Zach Thompson will draw the start for Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. He has pitched well during his last two outings, but this won't be an easy assignment. Wrigley Field can quickly turn into a hitter-friendly park, which is always frustrating for fantasy managers. The Cubs seem to always have […]

Miguel Diaz Starting On Saturday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Miguel Diaz will be the opener for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It sounds like it's going to be a bullpen day for the Padres. Diaz has been fantastic out of the bullpen, posting a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 23/10 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings. It's uncertain […]

Adalberto Mondesi Out Of The Lineup Saturday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He has played in two straight games and the team wants to be cautious since Mondesi recently came off the injured list. Mondesi has been on fire with the bat, so fantasy managers will […]

Stephen Strasburg Plays Catch Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) was able to play catch on Saturday. It's encouraging to see Strasburg throwing over the last week or so, but he's not exactly close to returning. He is dealing with a neck strain that is likely going to sideline him until some point during the second half of […]

Max Scherzer Scheduled To Throw On Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. He was able to throw off flat ground on Friday and could possibly be ready to make his next start on Tuesday. The 36-year-old has been banged up with a few minor injuries, but should be ready to pitch […]

Jeff McNeil Will Be Activated Before Monday's Game

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game, according to manager Luis Rojas. He has been sidelined since early May due to a left hamstring strain. The 29-year-old will be a significant boost to the lineup that has been crushed by injuries. McNeil should […]
