Kole Calhoun is Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Adam Frazier Gets Off Day

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. Frazier gets a routine day off here, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Colin Moran will cover second base and bat fifth, while Jung Ho Kang plays third base and bats […]

Corey Dickerson is Sitting on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The Pirates have too many outfielders and not enough spots, so Dickerson is the odd man out here. Melky Cabrera will play left field and bat third versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Cabrera has been reliable for […]

Starling Marte is Absent Versus Marlins

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Reynolds has 11 hits in his last […]

Miguel Cabrera Resting on Sunday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Nick Senzel is Out on Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (eye) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Jose Iglesias Could Miss A Few Games

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Iglesias (personal) has been placed on the paternity leave list, so he won't be in Sunday's lineup against the Texas Rangers. Iglesias could miss up to three games, so fantasy owners should be aware of that. Jose Peraza will play shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Ariel Jurado on Sunday. Peraza […]

Jay Bruce Should Avoid Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (hamstring) is expected to avoid a trip to the injured list. Bruce left Saturday's game due to left hamstring tightness. The injury is considered day-to-day, so the Phillies hope that he just needs a few days off to rest. Nick Williams will cover left field and bat sixth versus righty […]

Robinson Cano Activated, Starting Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quad) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Cano has been banged up all season it seems like, so hopefully it's behind him now. He'll bat fifth and play second base versus righty Dakota Hudson. It's surprising to see Cano lower than the three spot […]

Noah Syndergaard Placed on Injured List

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Syndergaard suffered a right hamstring strain during Saturday's start.

Nomar Mazara to Undergo MRI

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday.

Pence has been tough to stop […]

Tommy La Stella Returns to the Lineup

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella (forearm) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. La Stella missed the last two games with tightness in his left arm.

Marcell Ozuna Sits on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. This is a rare day off for Ozuna, so he should be back in there next game. Jose Martinez will cover left field and bat cleanup versus lefty Jason Vargas. Martinez has just 14 […]

Jake Faria Recalled on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Faria has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Faria has pitched most of the season in Triple-A despite starting the season with Tampa Bay.

Jonathan Lucroy Sits on Saturday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Lucroy is having a down year and will get a routine day off here.

Tyler Glasnow Throws Off The Mound

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) threw off the mound to a catcher from roughly 50 feet on Saturday. Glasnow landed on the injured list May 10 due to a right forearm strain. Glasnow avoided Tommy John surgery and could begin throwing bullpen sessions next week. He was fantastic before getting injured, so […]

Brandon Lowe is Sitting on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Lowe will get a routine day off here against the left-handed starter. Joey Wendle will take over second base and bat ninth versus lefty Jose Suarez. Wendle isn't a great DFS option here, […]

Cody Allen Designated for Assignment

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Cody Allen has been designated for assignment. Allen began the season as the Opening Day closer, but quickly fell from grace. He signed a one year deal with Los Angeles in the off-season, so not a huge loss for the team. He had a 6.29 ERA in 25 appearances and […]

Edwin Encarnacion is Sitting Out on Friday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran slugger will get a routine day off here to rest.

Franmil Reyes is Out Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Nelson Cruz Gets Day Off Friday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran slugger.

Brandon Drury is Starting in Right Field

Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Brandon Drury will get the start in the outfield versus the Houston Astros on Friday. Teoscar Hernandez (rest) normally roams center field, but will get a day off to rest here. Randal Grichuk will slide over from right field and play center field on Friday. Drury bats eighth and starts in […]

Maikel Franco on the Bench Friday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Franco is not having the comeback season that many hoped that he would. He continues to struggle, so he'll take a seat on Friday. Sean Rodriguez will bat seventh and play third base versus lefty […]

Kevin Kiermaier Takes A Seat Versus Lefty

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Kiermaier will take the day off here against the left-handed starter. Guillermo Heredia will cover center field and bat ninth versus lefty Andrew Heaney. Heredia doesn't have much fantasy value besides speed, so he […]

Gregory Polanco is Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Polanco has been hard to watch at the plate over the last few weeks. Bryan Reynolds will take over right field and bat second versus righty Trevor Richards. Reynolds has a strong ability to get on […]

Joey Votto Returns to the Lineup

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) returns to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Votto left Wednesday's game early due to back tightness. The Reds didn't play on Thursday, but Votto feels good enough to play here. He'll bat second and play first base versus righty Jesse Chavez. Fantasy owners […]

Jesse Winker is Out Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Hunter Pence Takes A Seat

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Rangers are playing in a National League park, so they won't have a designated hitter. Shin-Soo Choo will bat leadoff and play left field versus righty Tyler Mahle. Choo hasn't hit well over the last […]
