Gleyber Torres Sits Out Again

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (core) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He suffered a core injury on Saturday and has been dealing with it since then. Breyvic Valera is playing second base and batting ninth versus righty Sean Reid-Foley. Valera is not a strong fantasy […]

Kolby Allard Recalled, Starting Friday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard has been recalled and will draw the start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. He was acquired by the Rangers at the trade deadline in July. Allard is posting a 3.99 ERA with 106 strikeouts in 21 starts in the minors this season. He's a risky DFS option against […]

Yadier Molina Expected to Return Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (thumb) is expected to come off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Molina has been out since mid-July due to a lingering right thumb sprain. He's been playing rehab games this week, so it sounds like he's close to returning. Matt Wieters will cover the catching duties and bat […]

Mitch Keller Will Start Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller will draw the start against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, according to manager Clint Hurdle. Keller hasn't pitched well during his three outings this season. However, he's one of the better pitching prospects in baseball, so the Pirates want to get him experience at the big league level. […]

Orlando Arcia Rests on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Arcia will get a routine day off here, but should be back in there next game. Hernan Perez will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus lefty Kolby Allard. Perez hasn't been an asset […]

Christian Yelich Remains Out of the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Yelich tweaked his back on Monday and said he's not going to play until he feels better. It doesn't sound like he's going to land on the injured list, but he might take a few more […]

Max Scherzer Could Throw on Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) could throw a bullpen session on Saturday. Scherzer threw off flat ground earlier this week, but he's going advanced to throwing off the mound. He's started only one game since July 6, but hopefully he'll be able to return soon. Fantasy owners are just going to have to […]

Shaun Anderson Lands on Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Anderson was removed after three innings on Wednesday due to a blister on his middle finger. He shouldn't be sidelined too much longer than the 10 days. Sam Selman has been recalled from the minors to take […]

Andrew Heaney Will Return Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will return to the active roster for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Heaney missed roughly three weeks of action due to shoulder inflammation. He has a rough 5.09 ERA, but can create strikeouts. He's probably not a reliable option against the Red Sox on Saturday, […]

Austin Brice Activated from Injured List

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Austin Brice (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Brice missed three weeks due to a mild flexor strain in his right forearm. He's posting a 1.88 ERA in 38 1/3 innings with Miami this season. Brice could be mixed in for save chances down the stretch. […]

David Price Officially Placed on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 5. Price has a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) cyst in his left wrist. He's been absolutely destroyed during his last four starts, so this injury explains why that happened. It's unknown how much time he's going to […]

Cam Gallagher Placed on Injured List

Kansas City Royals catcher Cameron Gallagher (side) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Gallagher was scratched from Wednesday's game due to a left side injury. The team has decided to place him on the shelf, but it's unclear how much time he's going to miss. Nicholas Dini has been recalled to […]

Brad Brach Signs Deal with Mets

New York Mets relief pitcher Brad Brach should give the organization some much-needed depth in the bullpen. Brach was released by the Chicago Cubs earlier this week after posting a 6.13 ERA through 42 appearances. The former All-Star had a rough time in Chicago, but hopefully a change of scenery will help. He's likely going […]

Pablo Lopez to Throw Bullpen Session Friday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. Lopez struggled heavily during his rehab outing, so hopefully this goes better for him. He's been sidelined since mid-June due to a shoulder issue. It's unclear at the moment when Lopez will be able to take the mound again […]

Gary Sanchez Expected to Return Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) is expected to rejoin the active roster on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez started a rehab assignment on Wednesday, so he should be ready to go by the weekend. Austin Romine and Kyle Higashioka have been sharing the catching duties in New York. Neither have been […]

Austin Riley Suffers Torn LCL

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley (knee) has been diagnosed with a partially torn LCL in his right knee. He's been placed on the 10-day injured list, so he could be sidelined for quite some time. Riley started off the season hitting well with the Braves, but hit a second half slump. There is a chance […]

Jay Bruce Activated on Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Bruce missed three weeks due to a strained oblique. He's back in the lineup, batting fifth and playing left field versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Outfielder Adam Haseley has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Bruce is not […]

Steven Duggar Placed on Injured List

San Francisco Giants outfielder Steven Duggar (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Duggar injured his left shoulder while diving for a ball during Wednesday's contest. Duggar only offered fantasy value in NL-only leagues, so not a huge loss for fantasy owners. Joey Rickard will join the active roster while Duggar […]

Gleyber Torres Remains Out on Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (core) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Torres is reportedly feeling better, but will take an extra day off here. Breyvic Valera will play second base and bat ninth versus lefty Thomas Pannone. Valera is not worth adding in fantasy leagues […]

Carlos Hyde is Earning More Reps

Kansas City Chiefs running back Carlos Hyde has reportedly taken advantage of his opportunities in camp, according to head coach Andy Reid. Lead back Damien Williams (hamstring) was sidelined for 10 days, so Hyde received some extra work. Williams remains the starter, but Hyde does have some fantasy value heading into the season. There should […]

Damien Williams Returns to Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday. He missed 10 days due to a hamstring issue, but appears ready to go now. Williams will be good to go for Week 1, assuming that he doesn't suffer any setbacks. He'll likely be a back-end RB1 at the beginning of the […]

John Means Will Be Limited Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means will be limited during Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Means just came off the 10-day injured list after missing two weeks due to left shoulder inflammation. The Orioles will likely have him on a pitch count for this contest. Fantasy owners may […]

Austin Riley Placed on Injured List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Riley suffered a knee issue on Tuesday, so he'll be sidelined with an apparent knee ligament injury. He got off to a hot start with Atlanta, but has been slumping with the bat lately. It's unclear at the moment […]

Cam Gallagher Scratched on Wednesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher (back) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Gallagher is dealing with tightness on his left side, so he'll sit this one out. Meibrys Viloria will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Viloria is not a reliable fantasy […]

Anthony Rendon Exits Early on Wednesday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (toe) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rendon left the game after getting hit in the foot by a pitch. Asdrubal Cabrera took over at third base for Rendon, so he could see a couple of starts over there. The team is doing some […]

Gleyber Torres is Sitting Out on Wednesday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (chest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Torres was removed from Tuesday's game due to core pain, but the tests came back negative. Torres is not expected to be placed on the injured list. Breyvic Valera will bat ninth and play second […]

Christian Yelich Won't Play on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yelich is dealing with a back issue and won't be in the lineup until he feels better. This is a day-to-day issue, so he shouldn't land on the injured list. Trent Grisham will bat leadoff and […]

Lorenzo Cain is Out of Wednesday's Contest

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cain was removed from Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his knee. The Brewers are going to stay cautious here and give him another day off. Ben Gamel will draw the start in center field […]

Pedro Strop Activated from Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (neck) has been activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Strop is back in the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics after missing 10 days due to neck tightness. Craig Kimbrel (knee) and Brandon Kintzler (pectoral) are both sidelined, so Steve Cishek and Strop will get most […]

Brandon Kintzler Lands on Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Kintzler (pectoral) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He felt discomfort in his pec while pitching against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Manager Joe Maddon doesn't believe the injury is too serious, so hopefully he'll only be sidelined for the 10 days. Kintzler has been one […]
