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 […]

Luis Severino Plays Catch Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (groin) was able to play catch on Saturday. This is the first time that Severino has thrown since suffering a Grade 2 right groin strain last weekend. That being said, Severino is unlikely to return for at least another month. However, it's encouraging that he is already throwing […]

Guillermo Heredia Continues Hot Stretch

Atlanta Braves outfielder Guillermo Heredia continued his hot performance at the plate during Thursday's win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He went 2-for-3 with a home run, double, and a walk during Thursday's 4-0 victory. Heredia is slashing .275/.360/.467 in 136 plate appearances this season. The Braves are going to keep playing Heredia until Cristian […]

Freddie Freeman Collects Two Hits

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman continued his hot streak at the plate during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Freeman is now 12-for-28 at the plate over the last week. His slash line is quickly increasing and fantasy managers need to take notice. It appears right now is the best time to try […]

Luis Rengifo Recalled, Aaron Slegers Optioned

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. The 24-year-old has only one hit at the MLB level this season. However, Rengifo is slashing .331/.402/.568 during his time with Salt Lake. It's unlikely that Rengifo does enough to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats. Possibly, he becomes a deep league […]

Alen Hanson Signs Deal With Mariners

Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Alen Hanson signs a minor league deal with the organization. The 28-year-old signed with Seattle last year, but didn't play due to the canceled season. He wasn't hitting well in the minors during the 2019 campaign and has struggled during his time at the MLB level. Fantasy managers can go ahead and […]

Vinny Nittoli Called Up Friday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Vinny Nittoli will be called up ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 30-year-old reliever will reach the big league level for the first time in his career. Throughout his career, Nittoli has pitched for a handful of different organizations and some independent ball as well. Nittoli has […]

Bryce Harper Hopeful To Be Ready By Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (back) expects to be back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He exited early during Tuesday's contest and didn't play Wednesday out of precaution. Harper mentioned that he could've played on Wednesday, but understood that the Phillies wanted to be cautious. Fantasy managers can […]

Collin McHugh Activated Off COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Collin McHugh has been activated off the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday. The veteran reliever was feeling sick on Wednesday and was placed on the COVID-19 list as a precaution. It sounds like he is feeling better now and will return for Thursday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners. McHugh has […]

Rays Acquire Mike Ford

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Ford smacked 12 home runs during his rookie year, but hasn't done much since then. Since the beginning of 2020, Ford is slashing .134/.250/.276 in a little over […]

Zac Gallen Activated, Starting Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He missed nearly five weeks of action due to a forearm strain. He'll be activated and start versus the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. It's worth noting Gallen didn't make a rehab start and only threw 46 pitches […]

Ketel Marte Out Of The Lineup Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine day off for Marte who collected two hits on Wednesday. Marte has been on fire with the bat this season and should be rostered in all fantasy formats. Pavin […]

Jordan Lyles Allows Four Homers In Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles surrendered four home runs in the loss to the Houston Astros on Wednesday. He went 4 1/3 innings, allowing five runs, seven hits, two walks, and struck out three. This is a shame after watching Lyles pitch fairly well during his last outing. He wasn't able to keep the […]

Freddie Freeman Continues Hot Streak

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has put together a lackluster year when you look at his batting line, but appears to be finally turning it around. He is 10-for-26 with three homers and seven RBI in his last six games. On Wednesday, Freeman went 2-for-4 with a homer and two walks in the loss […]

Dansby Swanson Blasts Three-Run Homer

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson smacked a three-run home run versus the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. This blast makes 11 home runs for Swanson on the year, which is quite odd for him. His career high is 17 home runs and he is already creeping up on that number in mid-June. Swanson also hit […]

Ian Anderson Rocked By Red Sox

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson struggled to get through four innings versus the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. He allowed five hits, four runs, one walk, and struck out five through four innings of work. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned despite a few rough outing lately. This was the third time in four starts […]

Byron Buxton Unable To Resume Baseball Activities

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) has not resumed his minor league rehab assignment. The hope was that he'd return on Wednesday after workouts on Monday and Tuesday. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli mentioned that Buxton likely won't return until he's able to run hard or sprint. Buxton has been sidelined since early May due to […]

Eugenio Suarez Sitting Out Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The slugging corner infielder will get a routine rest day. Suarez has been struggling at the plate throughout most of the season. He is still worth rostering in most formats because of his power potential, […]

Deven Marrero Returns To Majors

Miami Marlins infielder Deven Marrero will join the big league roster on Wednesday. The organization has decided to purchase Marrero's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville. He was hitting fairly well in the minors, but has never seen much success at the MLB level. Marrero has not played in the MLB since August of 2019, but will […]
