Travis Shaw is Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Shaw exited early during Sunday's game and is expected to miss a couple of games. Hernan Perez will serve as the starting third baseman for the Brewers on Tuesday against Jake Junis. Shaw should […]

Kurt Suzuki Sitting on Tuesday

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Tyler Flowers will start at catcher and bat fifth for the Braves. Suzuki does lose some starts to Flowers, but makes up for it with his bat. Owners in 12-team, single-catcher leagues may want to stay […]

J.T. Realmuto is Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto (hand) is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has now missed back-to-back starts after taking a foul ball to the wrist on Sunday. Bryan Holaday will draw another start behind the plate on Tuesday. The Marlins consider Realmuto as day-to-day, so he won't head […]

Dan Straily Begins Serving Suspension

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Dan Straily has dropped his appeal and is serving his five-game suspension on Tuesday, according to manager Don Mattingly. Straily started for the Marlins on Monday and picked up the win against the Diamondbacks. Straily should be ready to go for his July 1 start against the New York Mets. He's […]

Brandon Finnegan Moved to Bullpen

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Finnegan will join the Triple-A Louisville bullpen after failing to impress as a starting pitcher. Finnegan has a 7.40 ERA through five starts with the Reds this season. He was sent to the minors and the results have been about the same as they were with the Reds. Hopefully a […]

Daniel Mengden Lands on 10-Day DL

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Daniel Mengden (foot) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list as of Tuesday. He underwent an MRI after leaving Saturday's start against the White Sox. There is no structural damage, but Mengden will head to the disabled list. Chris Bassitt will draw the start on Wednesday and is expected to […]

Neil Walker Not Starting on Monday

New York Yankees infielder Neil Walker (rest) is not in the starting lineup versus the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Walker has been struggling with the bat this season, so it's not surprising to see the Yankees letting their younger players get more action. Walker has failed to record a hit in weeks, so fantasy owners […]

Austin Meadows is Not Starting on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. The Pirates continue to find a way to juggle four "starting" outfielders. Starling Marte, Gregory Polanco and Corey Dickerson will start in the outfield on Monday. Meadows has been crushing the ball this season, but he […]

Chris Taylor is Not Starting on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game versus the Chicago Cubs. This marks the fourth straight game that Taylor has been unable to start. However, Taylor has been able to come off the bench and hit, so that is a good sign. Kike Hernandez will start […]

Addison Russell is Sitting on Monday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Russell was battling a finger issue but returned to the lineup on Saturday after missing a game. Javier Baez is at shortstop and batting fifth for the Cubs on Monday. Russell is not bringing enough […]

Kris Bryant Out Third Straight Game

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Monday. Bryant is currently battling a sore left shoulder, so the Cubs are giving him a few days off to rest. Ian Happ will bat seventh and play third base against the Dodgers on Monday. The […]

Willson Contreras is Not Starting on Monday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chris Gimenez will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate on Monday. Contreras has been cold lately, so this is likely just manager Joe Maddon giving him extra rest. Contreras needs to be […]

Nick Ahmed is Not Starting Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Ahmed has been struggling lately, so it's not surprising to see him getting the night off on Monday. Ketel Marte will draw the start at shortstop and bat fifth for the D-Backs. Ahmed has some deep […]

Joey Gallo is Out on Monday

Texas Rangers corner infielder/outfielder Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup on Monday versus the San Diego Padres. Gallo was forced to leave Saturday's game due to left hamstring tightness. However, the Rangers are facing lefty Joey Lucchesi on Monday. Gallo is hitting a rough .151/.235/.370 versus southpaws this season. Gallo played on […]

Tim Beckham Activated Off DL, Starting Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Tim Beckham (groin) has been activated from the 60-day disabled list and is starting at third base on Monday. Beckham missed two months following core muscle surgery. He's batting .179/.247/.262 over his first 23 games prior to his injury. Beckham is worth a look in AL-only leagues and some mixed leagues.

Danny Valencia Out of The Lineup Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Danny Valencia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Seattle Mariners. Tim Beckham is back off the disabled list, so that will eat away at Valencia's playing time. Valencia does not have good career numbers off Felix Hernandez, which is likely why he's not playing. Valencia is […]

Dylan Bundy is Questionable for Thursday's Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy (ankle) is reportedly questionable for his next start versus the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Bundy rolled his ankle while running the bases in Saturday's contest with the Braves. Bundy is expected to be fine, but he could land on the disabled list for a short period of time. More […]

Jeremy Hellickson is Ready to Rejoin Rotation

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the Nats rotation next time around, according to manager Dave Martinez. Hellickson has been out since June 3, when he recorded just one out before exiting due to a hamstring strain. Hellickson owns a 2.28 ERA over nine outings with Washington this season. He's […]

Carlos Carrasco Throws Bullpen Session on Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Monday. Carrasco says his elbow felt fine and he'll throw again on Wednesday. He's been sidelined since June 16 but appears to be making solid progress. There is a small chance he returns to the Indians rotation by the end of June, […]

Clay Buchholz Placed on 10-Day DL

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left oblique. The veteran righty suffered the injury during his start on Sunday versus the Pirates. Buchholz does not think the injury is serious, but he'll take four days off from throwing. He'll likely need more than […]

Clayton Kershaw Will Return Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) will return to the starting rotation on Saturday against the New York Mets. Kershaw was scheduled to make a rehab start on Saturday, but the team has decided to not go that route. Kershaw will have a fairly favorable matchup against the Mets. Fantasy owners can go […]

Jay Bruce Has No Timetable for Return

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce (hip) said he is not putting a time frame on his return. Bruce will take the proper time he needs to reset his body from his hip strain. There was a chance he'd only miss 10 days and return before the end of June, but that looks unlikely. […]

Adeiny Hechavarria is Out on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Daniel Robertson will cover second base, while Willy Adames is at shortstop. It appears the Rays want to give their younger infielders more playing time, so Hechavarria could be on his way out of […]

Brett Gardner is Starting on Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Gardner missed five games prior to this due to a lingering knee issue. Gardner will lead off and play left field on Friday. He's in a favorable matchup versus Rays' starter Ryne Stanek. However, […]

Colin Moran Sitting on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lefty Patrick Corbin is on the mound for the D-Backs, so David Freese will draw the start at third base. Moran is an option in deep leagues, but most leagues should have better offensive third […]

Francisco Cervelli Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It sounds like a routine day off for Cervelli, so fantasy owners do not need to worry about an injury. Elias Diaz will be behind the plate and bat fifth on Friday. Cervelli should remain owned […]

Ryan Braun is Out Again on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's contest. The Brewers are still calling the issue day-to-day, so he won't be going on the disabled list just yet. Jesus Aguilar will play first base, while Eric Thames, Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain cover the outfield on Friday. Braun has […]

Jeremy Hellickson Will Make Rehab Start Sunday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (hamstring) is scheduled to make a rehab start on Sunday. Manager Dave Martinez said the plan was for Hellickson to throw five to six innings or up to 85 pitches. Hellickson has an impressive 2.28 ERA over nine outings this season. However, he's won just two of those starts […]

Francisco Liriano Will Return on Saturday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano (hamstring) will return to the starting rotation for Saturday's contest against the Cleveland Indians. Liriano got destroyed in his lone rehab start. He allowed eight runs and 11 hits over just four innings of work. Liriano has a 3.90 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 45/29 K/BB ratio over 57 innings […]

Martin Perez To Begin Rehab Assignment Monday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Hickory on Monday. Perez threw live batting practice on Wednesday, which is a positive sign for him. He's been out since late April and has a 9.67 ERA in five starts this season. Fantasy owners can leave him on […]
