Daniel Descalso is Sitting Out Versus Lefty

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Travis d'Arnaud Off on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Travis D'Arnaud (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. D'Arnaud has struggled to find his groove with the bat since joining the Rays. Veteran Erik Kratz will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Trent Thornton. Both d'Arnaud and […]

Scott Kingery Likely to Stay in the Outfield

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery has seen a good amount of time in the outfield lately, but that's not likely going to stop anytime soon. Odubel Herrera is on administrative leave, so that leaves the Phillies without a center fielder. Kingery was basically playing every day anyway, but he's a full time outfielder without Herrera. […]

Genesis Cabrera Recalled, Starting Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Genesis Cabrera has been recalled from Triple-A and will draw the start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Cabrera had a 6.35 ERA at Triple-A before being recalled. He's taking the spot of Michael Wacha, who has been demoted to the bullpen. Cabrera is a poor DFS option for Wednesday […]

Rio Ruiz Sitting Versus Lefty

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Rio Ruiz (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This is the O's playing matchups and going with the right-handed bat versus the lefty pitcher. Hanser Alberto will play third base and bat leadoff against lefty Ryan Carpenter. Alberto has been hitting surprisingly well […]

Gordon Beckham Resting on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Gordon Beckham (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran infielder. Niko Goodrum will bat leadoff and play shortstop versus lefty John Means. Goodrum won't be a reliable DFS option versus Means on Wednesday.

Alex Verdugo Won't Play on Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Verdugo left Saturday's game early due to tightness in his back.

Kenta Maeda Activated, Starting Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (thigh) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Maeda was only forced to miss 10 days with the thigh issue, so that's good news for the Dodgers. He'll draw the start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Maeda comes into this contest with a 3.51 […]

Francisco Cervelli is Sitting Out

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (concussion) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Elias Diaz will draw the start […]

Pete Alonso Getting A Breather on Sunday

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The slugging rookie will get the day off to rest, but will be back in there next game. Dominic Smith will play first base and bat second versus righty Spencer Turnbull. Smith is actually […]

Oscar Mercado is Back in the Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

He'll bat second and play left field […]

Lorenzo Cain is Sitting Out on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Just a routine day off for Cain here, so fantasy owners don't need to worry. Ben Gamel will bat leadoff and play center field versus righty Zach Eflin. Gamel has been average with the bat, but […]

Miguel Cabrera Gets Day Off on Sunday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Cabrera was at first base during the first two games at Citi Field, but will sit this one out. Brandon Dixon will bat sixth and play first base versus righty Zack Wheeler. Dixon is […]

Chris Paddack Scratched on Sunday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack (neck) has been scratched from his scheduled start versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Paddack reportedly woke up with a stiff neck, so the Padres will push him back to Wednesday against the Yankees just to be safe. Robbie Erlin will make the start versus the Jays […]

Franmil Reyes is Out of the Lineup Again

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Reyes is dealing with left shoulder soreness after tweaking it on a swing a few games ago. The Padres are considering Reyes day-to-day at the moment, so he won't be put on the injured list. Josh Naylor […]

Miguel Sano is Resting on Sunday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Sano is getting a routine day off, so fantasy owners don't need to be alarmed about any injury. Williams Astudillo will cover third base and bat seventh versus righty Dylan Covey. Astudillo doesn't have […]

Mitch Keller Recalled, Starting Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller has been recalled from Triple-A and will make his major league debut on Monday versus the Cincinnati Reds. The Pirates play a doubleheader on Monday, so it's unclear which game Keller is starting. He could be an interesting DFS option and could be worth stashing in fantasy leagues. There […]

Greg Allen Recalled on Saturday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Greg Allen has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. The switch hitting outfielder struggled with team earlier in the season. Allen hit .105 with six runs knocked in during his stint with the Tribe in April. He should see more playing time with Carlos Gonzalez being designated for assignment. However, the Indians […]

Josh Naylor Gets the Start in Right Field

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Naylor will draw the start in right field versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Naylor normally plays first base, but he won't get too many chances at first with Eric Hosmer there. Franmil Reyes (rest) will get the day off, but should be back in there on Sunday. […]

Jorge Polanco is Out on Saturday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Polanco is hitting .339 with nine home runs and 26 knocked in, so this is just a routine day off for him. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus lefty […]

Max Kepler Resting Versus Lefty

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The Twins are up against lefty Manny Banuelos, so they will elect to play matchups in this one. Marwin Gonzalez will slide over to right field and bat second in this game. Banuelos has been awful […]

Tim Anderson Scratched on Saturday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (wrist) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday.

Brian Flynn Activated, Richard Lovelady Optioned

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brian Flynn (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Flynn has missed the first two months of the season and has not pitched yet. He's someone that could pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen or get a few spot starts in. Richard Lovelady has been […]

Hunter Dozier Gets The Nod at First Base

Kansas City Royals infielder Hunter Dozier will slide over from his normal position at third base and play first base in Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. Ryan O'Hearn usually gets the start at first base, but he'll sit out against the left-hander J.A. Happ. Dozier will bat fifth versus Happ and is a […]

DJ LeMahieu Sits on Saturday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. LeMahieu is off to a hot start this season, hitting .324, so this is just a routine day off. Thairo Estrada will draw the start at second base and bat eighth versus righty […]

Chad Sobotka Activated, Optioned to Minors

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Chad Sobotka (abdominal) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A.

Hopefully he can straighten out his stuff in […]

Chris Davis Expected to Sit on Saturday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is expected to sit out of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Davis sat out on Friday in an NL-park against a right-handed pitcher. The O's face a lefty starter on Saturday in Kyle Freeland, so Davis should be on the bench once again. Trey Mancini should draw […]

Dillon Maples, Tim Collins Recalled

Chicago Cubs relief pitchers Dillon Maples and Tim Collins have been recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. Maples has electric stuff, but his control still isn't there as he has five walks in 2 2/3 innings this season with the Cubs. The veteran lefty Collins pitched well in the minors, but doesn't have much fantasy […]
