Khris Davis Returns on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Davis has been dealing with a lingering hip issue, but it appears he'll try and play on Tuesday. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Trevor Bauer. Hopefully Davis is finally […]

Nathan Eovaldi Throws Bullpen Session on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. Eovaldi has been sidelined since April after undergoing a surgery to remove a loose body from his right elbow. Eovaldi could rejoin the Red Sox rotation by the middle of June if he continues to pitch without any setbacks.

Hunter Strickland Could Return in June

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Hunter Strickland (lat) is hopeful that he'll be able to return by the middle of June. Strickland has been sidelined since March 31 with a Grade 2 right lat strain. He has been increasing his baseball activities lately. He started the season as the closer in Seattle, and could quickly regain […]

Jose Altuve Took Batting Practice on Monday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) was able to take batting practice on Monday. Altuve strained his left hamstring and has been unable to do running thus far. Hopefully he's ready for a rehab assignment by the end of the week. Fantasy owners will just need to stay patient here. He should be back […]

Pedro Strop Throws Bullpen Session on Monday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Monday. He'll throw off the mound again in a few days and could return shortly after that. The Cubs have not said whether or not Strop will go on a rehab assignment. He's making solid progress, so hopefully he can return before […]

Evan Longoria is Sitting Out

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Longoria has struggled to get his bat going this season and has seen a lack of playing time because of it. Pablo Sandoval will bat fifth and play third base versus righty Mike Soroka. […]

Seth Lugo Lands on Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Seth Lugo (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Lugo is dealing with right shoulder tendinitis, so this could be something that sidelines him for longer than 10 days. He was pitching well out of the bullpen, so it's shame to watch him go down. Hector Santiago has […]

Giovanny Urshela is Back on Monday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Urshela left Sunday's game after a foul ball hit him in the groin. It appears that he's fine and no injured list stint is needed here. He'll play third base and bat seventh versus […]

Khris Davis is Dealing with Discomfort

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) was held out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles. Davis said that he continues to deal with discomfort in his hip. He suffered the injury on May 5, but the pain continues to linger. The Athletics do not plan to place Davis on the […]

Aaron Judge Did Some Running on Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) was able to do some running on Monday, which is a good step in his recovery from a strained oblique he suffered last month. However, Judge has not been cleared the swing a bat yet, so his timetable to return is still unclear. Judge should quickly be able […]

Robinson Cano is Benched on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano has been benched for lack of hustle, so he'll be out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cano failed to run hard down to first base on multiple occlusions during the weekend series versus the Marlins. However, this was probably a smart decision with […]

Vince Velasquez Threw on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Vince Velasquez (foreman) was able to do some throwing on Monday. Velasquez has bullpen sessions scheduled on Wednesday and Friday this week. Most likely he'll go on a rehab assignment after that and could be ready to return after one rehab start. Cole Irvin has pitched well in the absence of […]

Ryan Zimmerman is Progressing Well

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) is progressing well and was able to do some running on Sunday. Zimmerman reportedly said he was "sore", but was able to go through drills on Monday. It sounds like Zimmerman has a decent chance to return by the end of May. He is worth stashing in leagues […]

Andre Iguodala to Undergo MRI

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (calf) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday. He played just 18 minutes during Game 3 on Saturday due to left calf tightness. This seems to be a lingering issue with Iggy and this could be troublesome for the Warriors. Kevin Durant (calf) is out and Iggy looks […]

Damian Lillard is Playing Through Injury

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (ribs) is apparently playing through an injury that he suffered in Game 2 versus the Golden State Warriors. Lillard reportedly suffered separated ribs in the second game of this series, but has no plans to sit out. Lillard has been slumping, and the Blazers need him to step […]

Travis Shaw to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (wrist) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday. He reportedly took 75 swings on Sunday and didn't feel any discomfort. It sounds like Shaw is ready to test his wrist in game action. He'll likely see at least three or more rehab games before he's ready to return. […]

Jon Berti Scratched on Sunday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (oblique) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday. Berti is suffering from a left oblique strain, so it's unclear if he'll land on the injured list. Rosell Herrera will replace him in center field and bat eighth versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Herrera is not a fantasy option, even […]

Jorge Alfaro Could Return on Tuesday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (calf) is hopeful that he can return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. Alfaro left Saturday's game due to a strained left calf. However, it sounds like Alfaro is making solid progress. Chad Wallach is behind the plate and batting seventh against righty Noah Syndergaard on Sunday.

Drew Pomeranz Activated, Starting Sunday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz (lat) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will draw the start versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Pomeranz missed almost two weeks with a strained left lat. However, he carries a 5.93 ERA into this contest, so he can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Shawn Kelley Could Be Activated on Monday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Shawn Kelley (illness) is scheduled to throw a simulated game on Sunday. Assuming everything goes well, Kelley could be activated from the injured list on Monday. Kelley had surgery last week to remove lymph nodes from his vocal cords. Kelley was the closer in Arlington before landing on the injured list, […]

Amed Rosario is Out on Sunday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. It appears this is just a routine day off for Rosario. Adeiny Hechavarria will play shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Hechavarria is not a reliable fantasy option here. J.D. Davis or Robinson […]

Josh Donaldson is Sitting Out Against Brewers

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for the slugging third baseman. Austin Riley will cover third base and bat fifth versus righty Brandon Woodruff. Riley has been smacking the ball, so he's a […]

Ryan Braun Gets the Day Off

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran slugger will get the day off to rest, but should be back in there soon. Ben Gamel will cover left field and bat seventh versus righty Mike Foltynewicz. Gamel doesn't have much fantasy value, […]

Andrew Benintendi is Absent on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The team has decided to give Benintendi the day off versus the left-handed starter. J.D. Martinez will slide over to left field and bat cleanup, while Eduardo Nunez bats eighth and serves as the designated […]

Justin Turner Returns to the Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (shin) will return to the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Turner left Friday's game after fouling a ball off his shin. He did not play on Saturday, but bats third and plays third base against righty Tanner Roark on Sunday. Fantasy owners can feel […]

Brendan Rodgers is Sitting Out on Sunday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rodgers started his first two games after his promotion, but managed just one hit in eight at-bats. Ryan McMahon will draw the start at second base and bat seventh versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. McMahon is not […]

Willie Calhoun is Resting on Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Since his promotion, Calhoun had started four straight games. It appears the Rangers want to give Calhoun a day off to rest. Shin-Soo Choo will leadoff and play left field, while Hunter Pence serves as […]

Khris Davis Returns to the Lineup on Sunday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Davis did not play in Saturday's contest due to left hip soreness. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus lefty Gregory Soto. This is a great fantasy matchup for Davis, so DFS […]

Scott Kingery is Activated on Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Kingery had missed the last month due to a right hamstring strain. He'll bat seventh and make his first career first in center field versus lefty Kyle Freeland on Sunday. Kingery was hitting .406/.457/.719 before the injury, so the […]

James Paxton Threw Bullpen Session on Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (knee) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Sunday. Paxton is dealing with left knee inflammation, but it sounds like he's close to returning. Paxton believes that he'll need one more bullpen session before he'll be ready to return. The Yankees have a bullpen session scheduled for Paxton on […]
