Ben Zobrist is Scratched on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Zobrist was replacing the left-handed hitting Kyle Schwarber versus lefty Caleb Smith. However, Zobrist is not playing due to a personal matter. Schwarber will bat eighth and play left field versus Smith. Schwarber is not a recommended fantasy option on […]

C.J. Cron Will Rest on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cron hasn't hit overly well this season besides his six home runs, so the Twins will rest their struggling slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will slide over to first base and bat sixth against righty Aaron […]

Melky Cabrera is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It does not appear that anything is wrong with Cabrera, but the Pirates want to give their veteran outfielder a day off. Bryan Reynolds will draw the start in left field and bat fifth versus righty […]

Nomar Mazara is Sitting Against Lefty

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mazara is fine, but the Rangers want to give him a day off and he's not overly great against left-handed pitching. Hunter Pence will draw the start in right field and bat cleanup versus lefty Steven […]

Kyle Schwarber is Sitting on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Fantasy owners can relax, as this is not injury-related. Schwarber is struggling at the plate, and facing lefty Caleb Smith isn't going to help his fantasy value. Ben Zobrist will draw the start in left field […]

Zack Cozart is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Cozart missed almost two weeks of action due to neck discomfort. He was struggling at the plate before the injury, so Cozart can be ignored in most fantasy leagues for the moment.

Lorenzo Cain Returns to the Lineup on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cain left early during Sunday's contest after taking a pitch off the hand. The X-rays were negative and Cain is back in the starting lineup for this one. Cain will lead off and play center field […]

Shohei Ohtani is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Ohtani has missed the first six weeks of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Ohtani is not going to pitch this summer, but he will serve as the designated hitter for the Angels. He's batting […]

Adrian Houser Will Be the Opener on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser will draw the start as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Houser is only expected to pitch an inning or two in this game. Righty Freddy Peralta will come in afterwards, so he's the better fantasy option out of the two. Peralta has struggled in the early […]

David Price Throws On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) threw on flat ground on Tuesday. Price landed on the injured list Monday due to tendinitis in his left elbow. It appears Price is going to miss a start or two, but hopefully nothing more than that. He's making progress and he feels good after throwing on […]

Matt Olson is Activated on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Olson suffered a hamate bone fracture during the first series of the season. The Athletics haven't announced their lineup yet, but Olson is expected to be in it. Fantasy owners may want to be patient with Olson because […]

Trea Turner is Hitting Off A Tee

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (finger) begin hitting off a tee two days ago. Turner was placed on the injured list April 3 due to a fracture in his right index finger. However, Turner is quickly making progress and could return to the Nats lineup by the middle of May.

David Robertson To Begin Throwing on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (elbow) is scheduled to begin a throwing program on Friday. Robertson landed on the injured list April 15 due to a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. There is a chance that Robertson is able to return to the bullpen by late May. Hector Neris seems to […]

Danuel House is Questionable for Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 4 versus the Golden State Warriors. He did not play in Game 3 on Saturday due to an inflamed toe. Iman Shumpert soaked up the extra minutes in that contest. Shumpert will likely do it again if House is unable to play.

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play in Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 versus the Boston Celtics. Brogdon hasn't played a game in this series yet, but is progressing. There is a chance that Brogdon is able to suit up for Wednesday's Game 5, but no promises. Nikola Mirotic will continue to draw the […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable for Game 4

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (oblique) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 4 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to get in some full-contact work, so Smart is looking good from Monday's game. His status is going to depend on how he feels towards game time, but this is a good sign.

Mohamed Bamba Has Recovered from Fractured Tibia

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (leg) has reportedly fully recovered from a stress fracture in his left tibia. Bamba has been getting in work such as shooting and jumping since April. It sounds like Bamba is on schedule to be fully healthy for the start of the season. Nikola Vucevic is hitting free agency is […]

Clint Frazier is Activated from Injured List

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Frazier is back after missing nearly two weeks due to a left ankle sprain. He was hitting .324/.342/.632 with six home runs and 17 RBI before suffering the injury. He's expected to be back in the Yankees lineup […]

Eloy Jimenez Will Need Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) will need to have a rehab assignment before returning to the big league roster. The team wants Jimenez to get in some at-bats in the minors before letting him return to the team. He's been out since April 26 due to a sprained ankle. It's unclear when Jimenez […]

Steven Matz Will Likely Miss One Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (forearm) is likely going to miss at least one start. The good news is there is no structural damage to his forearm, but Matz is still dealing with a nerve issue. He is likely going to be placed on the 10-day injured list. Matz has pitched fairly well […]

Jose Peraza Draws Start in Left Field

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza will move from his normal spot at second base to left field for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Outfielder Jesse Winker will get the day off against the left-hander Drew Pomeranz. Peraza has only played in the outfield twice this season, so the Reds could be taking a […]

Evan Longoria is Sitting Out on Monday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Longoria was a late scratch before Saturday's contest and hasn't played since then. It's unclear what's going on with him, but hopefully he's back in the lineup soon. Pablo Sandoval will draw the start […]

Buster Posey is Resting on Monday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Posey crushed a three-run bomb on Sunday, so this is clearly just a rest day for him. Stephen Vogt will draw the start behind the plate and bat third against righty Anthony DeSclafani. Vogt is […]

David Price Placed on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Price has been pitching pretty solid lately but is reportedly dealing with left elbow tendinitis. More information about how long Price will be sidelined should be known soon. Hopefully fantasy owners won't be without Price for long, but stay […]

Blake Treinen is Unlikely Available on Sunday

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Blake Treinen (elbow) was unavailable on Saturday and is unlikely to be available for Sunday as well. Treinen is dealing with right elbow discomfort, according to manager Bob Melvin. He is set to be examined by doctors on Monday, so the Athletics will likely sit him out on Sunday. Lou Trivino […]

Jeremy Lin is Questionable for Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Jeremy Lin (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Lin did not play in Game 3 and hasn't done much of anything during this entire series. However, the Raptors could need Lin to play more minutes with Pascal Siakam (calf) likely out for this contest.

Matt Adams Lands on Injured List

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Adams suffered a left shoulder strain after diving for a ground ball on Saturday. There is currently no timetable for Adams' return right now. Howie Kendrick should get plenty of looks at first base and could be someone […]

Mookie Betts Will Rest on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a normal rest day for Betts, so he'll be back in action next game. J.D. Martinez will bat third and cover right field, while Steve Pearce bats seventh and serves […]

J.T. Realmuto is Resting on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Realmuto is just getting a normal rest day here, so there isn't any injuries to worry about. Andrew Knapp will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh versus righty Anibal Sanchez. Knapp doesn't have […]

Jung Ho Kang Sitting Out on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Kang. Colin Moran will bat sixth and play third base versus righty Frankie Montas. Moran can be avoided as a fantasy option for Sunday.
