Giovanny Urshela Won't Play on Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Urshela left early on Sunday after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch. The X-rays were negative, so Urshela is considered day-to-day as of right now. Tyler Wade will play third base and […]

Mitch Haniger is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Haniger did not play in Sunday's game due to shoulder soreness. Haniger will play right field and bat leadoff versus lefty Cole Hamels on Tuesday. Fantasy owners can go ahead and plug Haniger back into their […]

Zack Godley Heads to the Bullpen

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Godley has been demoted from the starting rotation to the bullpen on Tuesday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Godley had a 7.58 ERA through six starts this season, so hopefully he'll have better success in the bullpen. Jon Duplantier is expected to take over in the rotation, but nothing has officially […]

Griffin Canning Will Make Debut on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning is making his MLB debut on Tuesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Canning had a 0.56 ERA with 17 strikeouts through three starts in the minors this season. He has a chance to stick in the MLB rotation if he pitches well on Tuesday. He's worth keeping an […]

Jurickson Profar is Out on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It appears this is just a rest day for Profar, so he should be back soon. Chad Pinder will draw the start at second base and bat seventh versus righty Rick Porcello. Pinder doesn't […]

Jake Bauers is in Left Field on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Bauers will slide over to left field and bat seventh versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Tyler Naquin will get the night off with Carlos Gonzalez and Leonys Martin covering the rest of the outfield. Bauers has not hit […]

Matt Olson to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A on Wednesday. Olson suffered a fractured hamate bone on March 21 and hasn't played since then. The Athletics aren't going to rush Olson back, so he should get plenty of at-bats in the minors. Olson should be back with […]

A.J. Pollock Lands on Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Pollock is dealing with a right elbow infection, but is hopeful that he won't miss much more than the 10 days. Alex Verdugo has been swinging a hot bat and is expected to see much more playing time now with […]

Erick Fedde Could Move to Nats Bullpen

Washington Nationals pitcher Erick Fedde was called up for an emergency appearance on Sunday and was fantastic out of the bullpen. Fedde was once a top prospect not too long ago, but hasn't experienced much success in the MLB. He's scheduled to start for Double-A on Friday, but the Nationals may want to convert him […]

Derek Holland Lands on Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Derek Holland (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Holland suffered a left index finger bone bruise in spring training and has been lingering ever since then. Tyler Beede is expected to take Holland's turn in the rotation against the Reds on Friday. Beede has been fantastic in […]

A.J. Pollock is Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Pollock has been cold to start the season, so the Dodgers will elect to go with the hot bat here. Alex Verdugo will play center field and bat seventh versus righty Jeff Samardzija. Verdugo […]

Lucas Giolito Throws Bullpen Session on Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) was able to throw a bullpen session on Monday. Giolito has been sidelined almost two weeks after he tweaked his hamstring. However, Giolito could avoid going on a rehab assignment if he comes away from this bullpen session without any issues.

Luke Gregerson Likely to Be Activated on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has joined the team on Monday and could be activated on Tuesday. Gregerson was pitching elite during his rehab appearances, so it sounds like he's ready to return to the Red Birds bullpen. Gregerson won't have a bunch of fantasy value, but could be helpful if he's […]

Christian Yelich Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Yelich exited early on Sunday after tweaking his back while running the bases. The good news is, Yelich is considered day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the 10-day injured list. Ben Gamel will cover right field […]

Nelson Cruz Gets Night Off

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The veteran slugger is getting the night off, but should be back on Tuesday. Eddie Rosario will bat third and serve as the designated hitter against righty Justin Verlander. Rosario is in a great spot […]

Wil Myers Resting on Monday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It appears the Padres are just giving Myers a normal day off. Hunter Renfroe will bat fifth and play left field versus righty Mike Soroka. DFS players can avoid most of the Padres hitters because […]

Robinson Cano is Not Playing on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Cano was hit in the wrist by a pitch on Sunday, so it's not surprising to see him sitting out here. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Cano should only miss a few […]

Mitch Moreland is Out on Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Moreland, so he should be back in the lineup soon. Michael Chavis will cover first base and bat sixth against righty Frankie Montas. Chavis […]

Dexter Fowler is Sitting Out on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The Cardinals have too many outfielders and not enough spots, so someone has to sit out. Harrison Bader will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Bader won't have much fantasy upside […]

Klay Thompson Will Play on Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (ankle) will play in Sunday's Game 1 versus the Houston Rockets. Thompson was a game-time decision due to a right ankle sprain. He was able to go through pre-game warmups without any issues. Thompson will play on Sunday, but there's a chance he's limited depending on how the game […]

Austin Rivers Ruled Out for Game 1

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors. Rivers has been playing a fairly decent role off the bench, so losing him could hurt a bit. Iman Shumpert, Gerald Green, and Danuel House will see more minutes. Chris Paul and James Harden will be […]

Stephen Curry Will Play in Game 1

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's Game 1 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. Curry tweaked his right ankle during Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, Curry was able to finish out the game, so it appears the ankle injury was minor. Curry is fine for Sunday's […]

Rich Hill Activated, Starting on Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. This marks Hill's first start of the season as he's been sidelined all year with a lingering knee issue. He's not exactly the most reliable fantasy option out there. Fantasy owners should have a couple other options […]

Francisco Cervelli Won't Play on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's Sunday, so plenty of the starters around the league are getting the day off. Elias Diaz will bat sixth and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Rich Hill. Diaz doesn't have much […]

Ben Zobrist is Resting on Sunday

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs will give their veteran utility player the day off. Kris Bryant will slide over to right field and bat second versus righty Luke Weaver. Bryant is always a threat to do damage for fantasy […]

Mitch Haniger is Out on Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Haniger will get the day off to rest, so Jay Bruce will fill in over at right field. Bruce will bat fifth against righty Lance Lynn. He's going to be a solid DFS option against Lynn […]

Buster Posey Will Sit Out on Sunday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. This is just a normal day off for Posey, so fantasy owners don't have to worry about any injury. Erik Kratz will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Domingo […]

Robinson Cano Exits Early on Sunday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) was forced to exit early after getting hit by a pitch in the hand during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Cano was clearly in pain and will go for X-rays to get a better idea of the injury. Fantasy owners should have more information about the […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Remains Out on Sunday

Texas Rangers infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The Rangers wanted Cabrera to get back out there on Sunday, but it doesn't appear he's ready to play yet. The Rangers are off on Monday, so possibly Cabrera can get out there on Tuesday. Logan […]

Joey Gallo is Resting on Sunday

Texas Rangers first baseman Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The Rangers will give Gallo two days to rest as Texas doesn't play on Monday. Danny Santana will play first base and bat sixth versus righty Erik Swanson. Santana doesn't have enough upside to use […]
