Eric Thames is Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Thames was out of the lineup for a few games due to a sore knee. He'll bat sixth and play right field against righty Sal Romano. Thames has struggled over the last two weeks, so […]

Jose Peraza is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Peraza (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Eugenio Suarez will slide over to shortstop and bat cleanup against righty Junior Guerra. Suarez has crushed right-handed pitching this season, so he's worth a look in DFS contests.

Matt Albers Activated on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Albers (hamstring) has been activated from the disabled list on Tuesday. He missed the last couple of weeks due to a hamstring issue. Albers threw three scoreless innings without issues, so he should resume his role in middle relief for the Brewers. Reliever Joakim Soria (groin) should be activated off […]

Mark Trumbo is Considering Surgery on Knee

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) is considering having surgery on his right knee that has been causing him problems throughout most of the season. Trumbo was placed back on the disabled list Monday with a knee issue that dates back to May. Trumbo is scheduled to meet with a physician and there should be […]

Ervin Santana Doubtful to Pitch Again This Season

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Ervin Santana (finger) will undergo an MRI on his middle finger on Wednesday. He was placed back on the disabled list Sunday after continuous discomfort in his finger. He made just five starts for the Twins this season and was awful. There is a good chance that Santana does not return […]

Matt Duffy is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It appears this is a rest day for Duffy who has struggled with the bat over the last week. Joey Wendle will bat third and play third base against righty Glenn Sparkman. Wendle […]

Jorge Bonifacio Scratched from Tuesday's Lineup

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Bonifacio (back) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup due to a stiff back. It sounds like a day-to-day situation, so Bonifacio should be back in the lineup soon. Rosell Herrera will bat fifth and play right field against lefty Blake Snell. Herrera is hitting .233/.288/.300 off left-handed pitching this […]

Todd Frazier is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Jose Reyes will get the start at third base and bat eighth against righty Chris Stratton. Reyes has been awful with the bat this season, so he can be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Teoscar Hernandez, Randal Grichuk Out on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielders Teoscar Hernandez and Randal Grichuk are out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Curtis Granderson will lead off and play right field, while Billy McKinney bats sixth and plays left field against righty Dylan Bundy. Both players are worth a look in DFS contests for Tuesday. […]

Josh Harrison is Sitting Out Again on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He sat out on Monday due to a minor hamstring issue. Harrison is expected to be available off the bench for Tuesday's contest. Kevin Newman will play second base and play eighth versus righty Kevin Gausman. […]

Starling Marte is Out Again on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (personal) is out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive day. Marte was benched on Monday due to lack of effort during Sunday's contest. He is out of the lineup on Tuesday due to a doctor's appointment, according to manager Clint Hurdle. Adam Frazier will bat second and play […]

Wilson Ramos is Out of the Lineup Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. It appears this is a rest day for Ramos after two straight starts. Jorge Alfaro will draw the start behind the plate and bat seventh versus righty Tanner Roark. Alfaro is not much of a DFS […]

Ian Happ is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Albert Almora Jr. will lead off and play center field against righty Jordan Zimmermann. Almora has been in an awful slump over the last month. He's in a favorable part of the batting order against a […]

Addison Russell Scratched on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Javier Baez will fill in at shortstop and bat third against righty Jordan Zimmermann. It's unclear whether or not this issue is more than a day-to-day type of problem. Regardless, Russell is likely going to lose […]

CC Sabathia Will Return to the Rotation Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (knee) will return to the Yankees' starting rotation on Friday. He's been out since August 13 with mild inflammation in his right knee. He's been a solid option this season, holding a 7-4 record, 3.32 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 106/41 K/BB. He'll face the Orioles on Friday, so […]

Gary Sanchez Will Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) will begin a rehab assignment in the Gulf Coast League on Thursday. Sanchez should move onto Triple A after that and be back with the Yankees by next week. He's played in just three games for the Yankees since June 24 with a lingering groin issue. It sounds […]

Yu Darvish Done for the Season

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) is out for the rest of the season with stress reaction on his elbow. Darvish was battling elbow issues throughout the season, so it appears the Cubs have decided to shut him down for the rest of the 2018 campaign. Fantasy owners can go ahead and drop Darvish. […]

Adrian Beltre is Out on Monday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It's unclear whether or not the hamstring issue is still bothering Beltre. He will sit out his second straight game on Monday. Jurickson Profar will bat fifth and play third base against righty Mike Fiers. […]

Eric Thames Remains Out of the Lineup on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Thames left Friday's game with a sore knee and has not seen much action since then. Jesus Aguilar will bat cleanup and play first base against righty Homer Bailey. Aguilar should be in for a […]

Yasiel Puig is Out of the Lineup Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Puig is hitting just .217/.292/.358 off left-handed pitching this season, so that's likely why he is out of the lineup. Kike Hernandez, Chris Taylor, and Matt Kemp will cover the outfield against lefty Austin […]

Manny Machado Will Start Despite Wrist Issue

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman/shortstop Manny Machado (wrist) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Machado injured his left wrist on Sunday, but appears to be fine. Machado is batting third and playing shortstop against lefty Austin Gomber.

C.J. Cron is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Cron has hit home runs in back-to-back games, so the decision to rest him was not based on lack of performance. Ji-Man Choi will serve as the DH and bat fifth against righty […]

Michael Conforto is Out of the Lineup on Monday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Conforto is 0-for-13 over his last three games and he does struggle against left-handed pitching. Jack Reinheimer will bat ninth and play left field versus lefty Derek Holland. The Mets do not hit left-handed […]

Chris Sale Will Not Be Activated on Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (shoulder) will not be activated from the disabled list when first eligible on Saturday. Sale has not resumed a throwing program since landing back on the DL. It appears the Red Sox are going to easily win the American League East, so they can afford to be cautious […]

Logan Forsythe is Sitting Out on Monday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Forsythe is 0-for-12 over the last three games, so he'll get a day off on Monday. Ehire Adrianza will cover second base and bat ninth versus righty Lucas Giolito. DFS owners can avoid Adrianza […]

Starling Marte is Benched on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (personal) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Manager Clint Hurdle has decided to bench Marte due to lack of effort during Sunday's contest. Adam Frazier will draw the start in center field and bat second versus rookie right-hander Bryse Wilson. Frazier is worth […]

Josh Harrison is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It appears that Harrison's hamstring issues have knocked him out of the lineup, but it's unclear whether or not he'll be available off the bench on Monday. Kevin Newman will draw the start at second base […]

Devon Travis is Sitting Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jay second baseman Devon Travis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Travis is 0-for-10 over the last two games, so he'll get a chance to rest. Richard Urena will draw the start at second base and bat ninth against righty Andrew Cashner. Urena can be […]

Cedric Mullins Will Lead Off Again on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins will lead off and play center field versus righty Marco Estrada on Monday. Mullins is hitting .357/.419/.607 with one home run and three RBI over the last two weeks. He's only worth owning in AL-only leagues, but that could quickly change due to how well he's been hitting. DFS players […]

Adam Jones Activated, Starting Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (personal) has been activated off the bereavement list on Monday. Jones missed the weekend series against Cleveland following a death in the family. He's in right field and batting cleanup against righty Marco Estrada on Monday. He's a fairly decent DFS option against Estrada.
