Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (illness) remains sidelined for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Garcia was removed from Saturday's game against the Jays due to an illness. The team is considering Garica day-to-day, so he shouldn't be sidelined for too long. Ji-Man Choi will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter... Read More
CC Sabathia Placed on Injured List
New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Sabathia lands on the injured list for the second time this season due to right knee inflammation.

Sergio Romo Acquired by Twins
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Sergio Romo has been traded to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for first baseman Lewin Diaz. Romo, righty Chris Vallimont, and a player to be named later are headed to Minnesota for Diaz. Romo has a 3.58 ERA with 17 saves this season, so he could be an interesting weapon for... Read More
Nick Anderson Named as Closer in Miami
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Nick Anderson will take over the closer role following the trade of reliever Sergio Romo. Anderson has a 4.04 ERA with 66 strikeouts over 42 1/3 innings with one save.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets.

Cesar Puello Scratched on Sunday
Miami Marlins outfielder Cesar Puello (soreness) has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team is calling it soreness, so no other details are available about the injury. Yadiel Rivera will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Robbie Ray. Rivera isn't worth a look for DFS contests on Sunday.
Alex Wood Gets the Nod Sunday
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Alex Wood (back) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Sunday. Wood is set to make his season debut against the Colorado Rockies. He missed the first four months of the season due to nagging back issues. He's someone worth grabbing in most fantasy leagues, especially if you're desperate... Read More
Greg Holland Removed from Closer Role
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Greg Holland has been removed from the closer role, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The team has not announced who is going to take over in that role. Lovullo added that this is a temporary move, so Holland could be back in as closer before the season is over. Yoan Lopez,... Read More
Yordan Alvarez Starts in Left Field
Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alvarez was expected to see limited playing time in this series due to the fact the Astros don't have a designated hitter.

Alex Bregman Gets A Day Off
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Bregman is getting a routine day off here, so he should be fine for next game. Aledmys Diaz will cover third base and bat seventh versus righty Dakota Hudson. Diaz has been productive with... Read More
Carlos Correa Will Play on Sunday
Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (elbow) will play in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Correa was removed from Saturday's game after experiencing some pain in his elbow. It sounds like Correa is fine, so he'll suit up for this contest. Correa will bat fifth and play shortstop versus righty Dakota Hudson. Correa will... Read More
Mike Moustakas is Absent on Sunday
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Moustakas will get a routine day off here against the left-handed starter. Tyler Saladino will cover third base and bat eighth versus lefty Jose Quintana. Saladino is not worth a look in DFS contests.
Kyle Barraclough Optioned to Minors
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough has been optioned to Triple-A Harrisburg on Saturday. He gave up a three-run home run to Justin Turner on Friday, and it sounds like the Nats have seen enough to make a move. Barraclough has allowed eight home runs over 25 2/3 innings this season. He has a horrendous... Read More
Pirates Asking for Big Return on Felipe Vazquez
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Felipe Vazquez is likely to be moved before the upcoming trade deadline. The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly shown interest in Vazquez, but the Pirates price is not cheap. Pittsburgh is reportedly asking for two of the Dodgers' four top prospects in return for the dominant lefty reliever. Starting pitcher Dustin... Read More
Marcus Stroman Continues to Be Shopped
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman continues to be shopped by the team despite contract extension rumors.

The New York Yankees have shown interest in Stroman, but it's unclear what a potential package would look like right now. The... Read More
Mitch Moreland Sits Out Versus Lefty
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Moreland recently returned from the injured list, so luckily this isn't injury related. It's just a routine day off for Moreland against the left-handed starter. Sam Travis will cover first base and bat... Read More
Matt Grace to Serve As Opener Saturday
Washington Nationals pitcher Matt Grace will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Joe Ross was scheduled to draw the start, but manager Dave Martinez has made a late change. Grace has a 6.23 ERA over 44 appearances this season. It's unclear why Ross isn't starting, so possibly he comes... Read More
Joey Wendle Sits Against Lefty
Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Joey Wendle (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Wendle will get a routine day off here, so Michael Brosseau will cover second base. Brosseau will play second and bat sixth versus lefty Ryan Borucki. He's cooled off with the bat lately,... Read More
Matt Duffy Will Bat Leadoff Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Duffy was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier this week. He's basically just an AL-only option at the moment, but offers mixed league help if he gets regular playing time. Duffy will bat leadoff... Read More
Mets Aggressively Trading Noah Syndergaard
New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard is likely going to be the biggest name available at the trade deadline this season. He's having a down year, 7-5, 4.33 ERA in 20 starts, but that isn't going to hurt his value. Syndergaard has two years left on control, and the Mets are reporting aggressively shopping... Read More
David Freese Lands on Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman David Freese (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. It's unclear how long Freese is going to be sidelined, so anyone who owns him should prepare to be without him for a few weeks. Tyler White has been added to the roster in a corresponding move. White will... Read More
Yordan Alvarez Won't Play Friday
Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Alvarez will not be able to serve as the designated hitter while playing in St. Louis, so he'll sit this one out. He'll likely play off the bench, but won't get many at-bats. Fantasy... Read More
Nick Tropeano Will Start Friday
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Tropeano will draw the start against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Right-hander Griffin Canning was scheduled to start, but he was needed in the 16 inning game on Thursday. Tropeano has been bad in the majors and minors this season. He can't be trust in fantasy leagues.
Jean Segura Returns on Friday
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (heel) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Segura has been sidelined since Sunday due to soreness in his left heel. It appears Segura is feeling good enough to play in this one. He'll cover shortstop and bat second versus righty Mike Soroka. It's... Read More
Nick Senzel Won't Play Friday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (illness) won't play in Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Senzel left early during Wednesday's game due to dizziness.
