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 […]

Alex Dickerson Dealing With Minor Injury

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (back) was pulled out early during Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Dickerson only took one at-bat before exiting due to back tightness. Manager Gabe Kapler mentioned that Dickerson's back issue is not serious and they pulled him out as a precaution. This sounds like a day-to-day type of […]

Ian Kennedy Sat Out Tuesday As Precaution

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy (hamstring) was unavailable out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He has not pitched since last Friday due to hamstring tightness. It doesn't sound like the team plans on placing Kennedy on the injured list. They'd rather give him a few days to rest […]

Zack Littell To Serve As Opener Wednesday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Zack Littell will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. He will technically draw the start, but Sam Long will get the bulk of the innings. This will be Long's MLB debut, but the fact Littell is being used as the opener means Long might not […]

Scott Kingery Activated, Outrighted To Minors

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (concussion) has been activated off the concussion injured list and outrighted to Triple-A. He passed through waivers unclaimed and is now off the 40-man roster. It's unsurprising that Kingery went unclaimed since he has been horrendous with the bat this season. Kingery was given a $24 million extension before making […]

Spencer Turnbull Won't Miss Significant Time

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. An MRI revealed no structural damage, which is always good news. Sadly, the organization didn't give much of a timetable for his return. On Tuesday, manager A.J. Hinch said he expects Turnbull to miss "a little bit of time, […]

Garrett Cleavinger Looks Sharp During Rehab Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) threw one scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance in Triple-A on Monday. He has been sidelined for a few weeks due to left forearm inflammation. Cleavinger only saw six innings of work with the Dodgers before going down due to injury. Hopefully, Cleavinger will be back […]

Dillon Thomas To Join Mariners On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas has been recalled from the minors and will join the big league team on Tuesday. The 28-year signed a minor league deal with the team over the offseason. He is hitting .338/.459/.625 to go along with six homers and four steals over 25 games in Triple-A this season. It's uncertain […]

George Valera Activated, Returns To Double-A

Cleveland Indians outfielder George Valera (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. The 20-year-old outfielder was sidelined for roughly a month, but will return to Double-A Lake County. He is currently the No. 93 prospect in the game by MLB Pipeline. However, Valera has struggled during his short stint in Double-A this season. […]

Max Fried Tosses Solid Outing Versus Dodgers

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was smacked around during his last outing, but did turn it around on Sunday. He threw six innings, six hits allowed, one earned run, and four walks in the victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It wasn't a perfect outing, but Fried was holding his own out there. The […]

Dane Dunning Throws Five Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning looked sharp during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He tossed five scoreless innings, three hits allowed, two walks, and six strikeouts. Somehow, the Rangers managed to lose 7-1, but you can thank the Rangers' bullpen for that one. Dunning will carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and […]

Jakob Junis Optioned To Minors

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis has been optioned to Triple-A to free up a roster spot for Jackson Kowar. This shouldn't surprise anyone with Junis posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He was already pulled out of the rotation, so Junis was the odd man out […]

Jackson Kowar To Make MLB Debut Monday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jackson Kowar is scheduled to make the start against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. The young starter will make his MLB debut after posting a 0.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41/10 K/BB ratio over 31 2/3 innings of work in Triple-A this season. The fact he has been this […]

Austin Voth Suffers Broken Nose On Sunday

Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth (nose) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He suffered a broken nose when getting hit in the face by a pitch. It sounds like he'll remain in Philly to have his nose reset before rejoining the team. The Nationals have not announced a timetable […]

Nick Maton Optioned To Triple-A

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Nick Maton has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. It is a bit of an odd move considering the organization didn't announce a corresponding move along with Maton to the minors. He slashed .255/.296/.373 with a pair of homers, and eight RBI during his first stint in the MLB. Maton didn't offer […]

Khris Davis Scratched On Sunday

Texas Rangers designated hitter Khris Davis (illness) has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It doesn't sound like it's COVID-19 related, so Davis is likely just feeling under the weather. Nick Solak will be the designated hitter, while Charlie Culberson starts at second base in this one. Solak has some deep […]

Jose Urena Activated, Starting Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jose Urena (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He exited early during his most recent outing due to forearm cramping. He'll draw the start against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, but won't be a reliable streaming option. This season, Urena has posted a 4.14 ERA […]

Adalberto Mondesi Lands On IL

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. This comes after Royals manager Mike Matheny said there was no timetable for Mondesi on Saturday. The young shortstop has been banged up all season long, but did play well during his short time being healthy. Edward Olivares […]

Josh Staumont Activated On Sunday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont (knee) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to a left knee sprain. This season, Staumont carries a 2.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings this season with 25 strikeouts and five saves. He […]

Adolis Garcia Sitting Out On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 28-year-old has quickly become the best waiver wire pickup of the season. He is hitting .278 with 16 home runs over 194 at-bats this season. This appears to be a routine day off for […]

Jose Abreu Absent From Sunday' Lineup

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (rest) won't be in Sunday's starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. The reigning MVP has three total hits over his last seven games. This sounds like a normal rest day for the slugging superstar. Andrew Vaughn will get the start at first base versus right-hander Jose Urena on […]

Hector Neris Activated Off Paternity List

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris has been activated off the paternity leave list on Sunday. The 31-year-old has posted a 1.96 ERA with nine saves over 23 innings this season. He should return to his normal role as the closer in Philly. Connor Brogdon filled in as the closer on Saturday, but won't have […]

Giants Recall Camilo Doval

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval has been recalled by the organization on Saturday. He will take the spot of Scott Kazmir who was designated for assignment by the Giants. Doval has an ugly stat line in the majors, but has been one of their better bullpen arms during his time in the minors. […]

Mike Trout Remains Without Timetable

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) is without a timetable for his return, according to manager Joe Maddon. The superstar outfielder has been on the injured list since the middle of May. He suffered a Grade 2 calf strain, so the Angels aren't going to rush him back onto the field. Hopefully, Trout will […]

Colin Moran Expected To Be Activated Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (groin) is likely to be activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The lefty infielder was in the dugout for Saturday's contest, so Moran is back with the team. Obviously, Moran has finished his rehab assignment, so fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup soon. Moran […]

Garrett Cooper Likely To Miss A Few Games

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (back) was unable to play in Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears Cooper is dealing with back stiffness, so the team is giving him a few days off. Fantasy managers should consider Cooper day-to-day, but it doesn't sound like he'll land on the injured list. Cooper is […]
