Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Avisail Garcia will […]

Scooter Gennett Released by Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Gennett is hitting .226/.245/.323 this season and hasn't shown much promise with the bat.

Patrick Mahomes Hasn't Missed A Beat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play well in the preseason. Mahomes has completed 14-of-19 passing attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Pederson will get a regular day off here against the left-handed starter. Kike Hernandez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus lefty Eric Lauer. Hernandez is a decent cheap DFS […]

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Marisnick doesn't have […]

Nick Senzel Still Out Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (thumb) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Senzel will sit out his second straight game, and he's been dealing with a sore right thumb. He's been in an awful slump lately as well, so the Reds are giving him some time to rest. […]

Garcia missed the minimum 10 days due to a right oblique strain, but is back in the lineup here. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Dylan Bundy. Garcia is a decent cheap DFS option for […]

Jose Ramirez Placed on Injured List

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Ramirez suffered a fractured hamate bone in his right hand during a swing on Saturday. He is scheduled to have surgery on Monday, so the Indians will have a better timetable after that. Ramirez is likely done for […]

Kolten Wong Sits Out on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (toe) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Wong exited early on Saturday after fouling a ball off his right toe. Luckily, he avoided any major injury, so he'll only be sidelined a few days. Tommy Edman will draw the start at […]

He's not a reliable fantasy option right […]

Pablo Lopez Will Rejoin Rotation Monday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to rejoin the starting rotation versus the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Lopez hasn't pitched since mid-June due to a shoulder injury. Caleb Smith will have his start pushed back until Tuesday, so Lopez can start on Monday. Lopez was fairly solid before the injury, so he's […]
