To be fair, […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed running back Keilan Robinson off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday.

Ladd McConkey Focused on Staying Healthy

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey dealt with multiple injuries last season, but still only missed one game during the regular season.

DJ LeMahieu Heading to the Bench

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.

Kumar Rocker Optioned to Minors

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kumar Rocker has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. Well this is unfortunate news, Rocker was activated off the injured list on Wednesday.

Shea Langeliers Exits Early on Thursday

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (side) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Will Smith Sitting Out on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Smith will now sit out for the second time in this series. He has been struggling lately going 0-for-9 over his last three games, so it makes sense to rest him on Wednesday. In […]

Jacob Wilson Officially Returns on Wednesday

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hip) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Wilson makes his way back to the lineup following a one-game absence due to a neck injury he suffered on Monday. This is great news for fantasy managers as Wilson has been crushing the ball this […]

Kerry Carpenter Scratched on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is reportedly feeling better from a shoulder issue that has sidelined him since late April.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (toe) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets.

Jacob Wilson Absent on Tuesday With Neck Injury

Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson (neck) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's not shocking to see Wilson getting a rest day after suffering a neck injury during Monday's contest. It sounds like a minor issue, so for now fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day. Wilson has […]

Luis Robert Jr. Getting Time Off

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Colton Cowser Activated on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (thumb) was activated off the 60-day injured list on Monday. Cowser is finally back with the team after missing a majority of the season due to a fractured left thumb.

Royce Lewis Absent on Monday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics.

Spencer Torkelson Sitting Out on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Torkelson will get a rest day here after registering only two hits over his last three games. The right-handed slugger has lost some steam after coming out of the gate hot to begin the […]
