Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini will bat second and play first base versus righty Nathan Eovaldi on Monday. Mancini normally bats cleanup or fifth, but will move up to the two-hole for this one. He's been swinging a hot bat, so maybe the Orioles just want to shake up their lineup. Regardless, out of […]

Tyreek Hill Has Disappointing Performance

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had a rare disappointing game on Sunday. Hill caught two passes for 51 yards and was unable to find the end zone.

Miguel Sano Will Miss Weekend Series

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (leg) will sit out the entire weekend series versus the Oakland Athletics. Sano has returned to Minnesota to undergo more testing on his left leg. There is a good chance that Sano has already played his last game of the season. It sounds safe for fantasy owners to go […]

Ketel Marte is Sitting Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Marte, so he should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Daniel Descalso will bat fifth and play second base against righty German Marquez.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off and play center field against lefty Wei-Yin Chen on Friday. Hamilton is hitting .067/.222/.067 over the last week.
