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. McCullers has been sidelined since late May due to a shoulder issue. He was pitching extremely well before going down and looked sharp during this outing. It […]

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. Anthony DeSclafani will make the start on Friday, while Gausman and a player to be named later will take the mound on Saturday. […]

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. Garcia suffered a left knee sprain during warmups on Wednesday. His timetable to return is unknown, but he wasn't exactly an asset in […]

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. He was removed during Wednesday's contest after taking a pitch off his hand in the fifth inning. Moran underwent X-rays, but the results have not been announced yet. 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 […]

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 […]
