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. There is a good chance that Naquin lands on the injured list. Jordan Luplow will play right field and bat seventh versus righty Reynaldo Lopez on Monday.

Ryan Braun Scratched on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (hamstring) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday. Braun is dealing with some left leg soreness, so he'll sit out this matchup versus the Chicago Cubs. Ben Gamel will replace him in left field and bat third versus lefty Cole Hamels. Gamel won't be a reliable fantasy option […]

Blaine Hardy Activated on Saturday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Hardy missed nearly three weeks due to a left forearm strain. He was struggling out of the bullpen this season, but hopefully he can turn it around. Hardy pitched well out of the bullpen and rotation last season, but […]

David Price Will Throw Bullpen Session on Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday. Price landed on the injured list May 6, but could return as early as next week. He's dealing with elbow tendonitis, so it kind of just depends on how Price is feeling after the bullpen session. He was […]

Addison Russell is Sitting Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Russell recorded his first hit of the season on Friday, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect too much. Russell isn't a great fantasy option, but is likely going to play two out of every three games. David […]

Marwin Gonzalez is Out Versus Tigers

Minnesota Twins third baseman Marwin Gonzalez (face) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Gonzalez was diagnosed with a facial contusion on Friday. He is currently being listed as day-to-day, so hopefully he doesn't land on the injured list. Ehire Adrianza will play third base and bat ninth versus […]

Byron Buxton is Sitting Out on Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Buxton hasn't been great with the bat this season and is really only worth owning in fantasy leagues because of his speed. Max Kepler will play center field and bat first versus righty Spencer Turnbull on […]

Jeimer Candelario is Out on Saturday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Candelario fell out of the leadoff spot on Friday and it still didn't help him. He's slashing .200/.302/.285 this season, so maybe some rest will help him. Gordon Beckham will bat first and play third […]

Dee Gordon Won't Play on Saturday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Shed Long will make his Major League debut on Saturday. He was hitting well in the minors and can play multiple positions, so he should see plenty of action in Seattle. He'll bat ninth […]

Tim Beckham is Sitting Out on Saturday

Seattle Mariners shortstop Tim Beckham (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Beckham hasn't been able to do much with the bat lately, so the Mariners will try something else. J.P. Crawford will draw the start at shortstop and bat second versus righty Rick Porcello. Crawford doesn't […]
