Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke (abdominal) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Greinke was pitching 7 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball before he was removed due to abdominal tightness. The D-Backs will likely have some undergo some testing and more information should be known soon.

Howie Kendrick Returns on Wednesday
Washington Nationals first baseman Howie Kendrick (neck) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. He missed a few games due to neck stiffness, but was available to take an at-bat off the bench on Tuesday. He'll bat fifth and play first base against righty Wilmer Font. Kendrick has […]

David Price Will Likely Return Next Week
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. He has already thrown a few sessions and it appears he's making solid progress. The Red Sox don't have a scheduled starter for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. There is a chance that if this session […]

Ender Inciarte Lands on Injured List
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Inciarte left early during Tuesday's game because of what is being called a lumbar strain. Austin Riley will make his MLB debut for the Braves on Wednesday. He'll bat sixth and play right field versus righty Michael Wacha. Riley […]

David Peralta Exits Early on Wednesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (back) left early during Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Peralta is reportedly dealing with right trap tightness, so hopefully it doesn't mean he'll land on the injured list. Peralta is hitting .318/.359/.531 this season with Arizona. Blake Swihart replaced him in left field on Wednesday. Peralta is undergo testing […]

Freddy Peralta Heads to the Bullpen
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta will move from the starting rotation to the bullpen. Chase Anderson (finger) will be activated from the injured list and draw the start versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Anderson has pitched well this season, posting a 3.20 ERA. Peralta has a 6.16 ERA in 30 2/3 innings of work, but […]

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Join Starting Unit
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon returned after missing two months and played in Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Boston Celtics. He only played 17 minutes in that game, but it was his first one back. Brogdon will come off the bench and see more minutes coming his way, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer. There […]

Felix Hernandez Likely Out A Few Weeks
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (lat) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right lat. Luckily, this is actually a minor injury, so Hernandez might only be out for a couple of weeks. His 6.52 ERA through eight starts didn't carry much fantasy value anyway. He might return by the end […]

Daniel Murphy is Out on Tuesday
Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This does not appear to be injury related, so it's likely because the Rockies want to go with a right-handed batter against lefty starter Chris Sale. Mark Reynolds will play first base and bat […]

Howie Kendrick is Sidelined on Tuesday
Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Kendrick hasn't played since Friday due to neck stiffness. Gerardo Parra will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Parra has been awful with the bat, so go ahead and avoid him […]

Freddie Freeman Returns on Tuesday
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Freeman missed Sunday's game due to an illness and the Braves were off on Monday. He'll bat third and play first base versus righty Jack Flaherty on Tuesday.

Ryan Braun is Back on Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Braun had missed three straight games due to hamstring soreness and came off the bench on Monday for a pinch-hit appearance. He'll bat third and play left field versus Jerad Eickhoff on Tuesday. Braun was hot […]

Nelson Cruz Remains Out on Tuesday
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The MRI on his wrist came back negative, so Cruz shouldn't land on the injured list. The Twins are likely just giving him a few more days off to rest. Willians Astudillo will serve […]

Jonathan Schoop is Returning on Tuesday
Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Schoop missed a few games due to left shoulder soreness. Luckily, it wasn't anything serious, so he won't need any time on the injured list. He'll bat eighth and play second base versus righty […]

Giancarlo Stanton Likely Out A Few Weeks
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a left shoulder strain. Stanton was able to take batting practice on Monday, but the Yankees are going to be careful with him. He's likely going to be out a few more weeks, but the good news is that he's healed from his left […]

Dee Gordon is Out on Tuesday
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Gordon continues to sit out due to a sore left wrist, but is considered day-to-day. Tim Beckham will slide over to second base and bat seventh versus lefty Brett Anderson. Beckham hasn't been great with […]

Rodney Hood is Questionable for Game 1
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (knee) has been listed as questionable for Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. An MRI revealed a left knee bone bruise, so Hood could sit this one out. Seth Curry, Maurice Harkless, and Evan Turner would see more minutes if Hood is unable to play.

DeMarcus Cousins Unlikely to Play This Series
Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (quad) is unlikely to suit up for this playoff series versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Cousins tore his left quad and hasn't even been cleared for contact yet. The Warriors are going to take the cautious approach here, so Cousins probably won't return this postseason. There is a good […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out for Game 1
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has reportedly been ruled out for Game 1 versus the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Durant hasn't done any work on the court since he suffered a calf injury during Game 5 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. It doesn't sound like Durant will be ready for Game 2 […]

Josh Jackson Could Be Traded This Summer
Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson could be traded this summer, according to Evan Sidery. Jackson has not exactly turned into the player that the Suns thought he was going to, so he could end up playing elsewhere next year. His latest arrest at the Rolling Loud Miami Music Festival doesn't help his case. John Gambadoro, […]

Kyle Seager Will Begin Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday. Seager is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on May 25, so he'll likely rejoin the Mariners then. Seager had surgery in March to repair a partially-torn tendon in his left hand. He should be […]

Jung Ho Kang Lands on the Injured List
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kang hasn't been hitting well this season, so it's probably not the worst thing in the world to give him some rest. Kevin Newman will draw the start at third base and bat seventh versus lefty Robbie Ray on […]

Aaron Hicks Activated, Starting Monday
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He missed almost seven weeks due to a lingering back issue, but appears ready to play now. Hicks will leadoff and play center field versus righty David Hess on Monday. Hicks will be a reliable fantasy option if […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Placed On Injured List
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Luis Cessa will draw the start versus the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. Loaisiga is dealing with a right shoulder strain, so it's unclear how much time he could be sidelined. He wasn't pitching great before the injury, so fantasy […]

Ryan Braun Continues to Sit Out
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup on Monday versus the Philadelphia Phillies. This marks the third game in a row that Braun has missed due to a left hamstring issue. Braun is expected to be available off the bench, but he's not worth starting in fantasy lineups for a […]

Cole Irvin Earns Another Start
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cole Irvin has been granted another start versus the Colorado Rockies on Friday. Vince Velasquez (forearm) was expected to miss only one start, but it appears he's going to be sidelined longer. Irvin went seven innings and allowed one run during his MLB debut. However, that start was against the Royals, […]

Nelson Cruz Could Return on Tuesday
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is likely going to avoid a stint to the 10-day injured list. Luckily, the MRI on his wrist came back negative, so Cruz should not be out of the lineup for too long. There is a chance that he's back to swinging the bat by Tuesday or Wednesday. […]

Miguel Andujar Lands Back on Injured List
New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) has landed back on the 10-day injured list. Andujar hits the injured list due to a torn right labrum in his shoulder. He could very well have surgery on it and we might not see him for quite some time. He was struggling with the bat since […]

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out Again
Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Schoop has now missed two games in a row due to soreness in his shoulder. He's considered day-to-day, but may end up landing on the injured list. Ehire Adrianza is at second base and […]

Tyler Naquin Likely to Be Placed on Injured List
Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (calf) is likely going to be placed on the injured list. Naquin hasn't played since last Friday due to a left calf issue.
