Jay Groome Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

The Boston Red Sox's 12th overall pick in the 2016 draft has undergone successful Tommy John surgery. Jay Groome (elbow) is the second best prospect in the Red Sox system, only behind third baseman Michael Chavis. Groome is a big lefty who has struggled with injuries throughout his young career. However, at only 19 years of […]

Blake Swihart's Agent Requests Trade

The agent of Boston Red Sox utility man Blake Swihart has requested a trade out of Beantown. The former top prospect has struggled to find playing time in a deep Red Sox lineup over the past three seasons, which is evidenced by the fact that he has only played in 40 games during that timespan. Dustin […]

Jackie Bradley Back on Bench Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley has had a mighty struggle at the plate so far this year. He is currently mired in a terrible cold slump, which has seen him go 6-for-57 with 27 strikeouts. Bradley is not a fantasy option at this point of the season due to his lack of playing time […]

Justin Turner and Logan Forsythe Back on Tuesday

The Los Angeles Dodgers have struggled to start the 2018 season, but help is on the way. Both Justin Turner (wrist), and Logan Forsythe (shoulder), are expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Marlins. Turner, who has yet to play this season, will instantly become one of the most reliable offensive […]

Jameson Taillon Leaves Game With Finger Injury

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Jameson Taillon had to leave Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants with a finger laceration. Taillon had gone three innings, striking out five, and only allowing a single hit before being taken out of the game. It has been a rollercoaster season for the 26-year-old righty as evidenced by his 2-3 […]

Dustin Pedroia to Start Rehab Games Early Next Week

The Boston Red Sox are planning on sending second baseman Dustin Pedroia down to Triple-A Pawtucket on either Monday or Tuesday for a rehab stint. Pedroia has been recovering from knee surgery for the past few months. This is great news for the Red Sox as they could use his sure-handedness in the infield with […]

Shohei Ohtani Batting Cleanup on Friday

Shohei Ohtani continues to wow. Yesterday, against the Minnesota Twins, Ohtani had an RBI double to go along with a solo HR. Today, he will be the designated hitter batting in the cleanup spot. Ohtani has been downright amazing at the plate during 2018. He has a ludicrous slash line of .354/.400/.677 with five HR across […]

Jackie Bradley Sitting for Third Straight Game

While there is no debate about the defensive prowess of Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley, his bat has been ice-cold to start the season. The Boston Red Sox center fielder is batting a paltry .173 over the course of 125 plate appearances to go along with two home runs and nine RBI. This will […]

Steven Wright to Return to Red Sox as Reliever

Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright (knee) is primed to join the Red Sox bullpen once he returns from his 15-game domestic-violence suspension. Wright underwent left knee surgery during the offseason and has been rehabbing with Triple-A Pawtucket. The Red Sox get added pitching depth with Wright back in the fold, but for now manager […]

Craig Kimbrel Rebounds, Pitches Perfect Ninth Inning

Craig Kimbrel exacted some revenge on Thursday night after being roughed up by the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The flame-throwing righty only needed 13 pitches to retire the top of the Yankees order which helped the Red Sox salvage the last game of the series. It was Kimbrel's tenth save of the season and […]

Justin Turner Set to Begin Rehab Stint

The fact that Justin Turner (broken wrist) is getting closer to returning is music to the ears of the Los Angeles faithful. Dodgers fans and fantasy owners alike will be ecstatic to get Turner back into their lineup. The all-star third baseman has been missing since spring training after taking a pitch off of his […]

Matt Harvey To Start Friday

The newest member of the Cincinnati Reds will be making his pitching debut this weekend against the Dodgers. Matt Harvey, who was acquired from the Mets, has had a volatile 2018, but is hoping his fortune changes with Cincy. Harvey has an atrocious 7.00 ERA and a 0-2 record through eight appearances on the season. […]

Miguel Sano Resumes Baseball Activities

Twins' slugger Miguel Sano (hamstring) was fielding grounders at third base before Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Sano has missed the past 11 games, but the fact that he traveled with the team to L.A was an encouraging sign. Sano is a fantastic power number producer and that bat has been dearly missed […]

David Price Throws Bullpen Session, Expects to Start Saturday

After being scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price threw a successful 40-pitch bullpen session on Thursday. The lefty had been dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, but it seems that the treatment he was getting was successful. Price has had a difficult time to start the 2018 campaign […]

David Price Diagnosed With Mild Case of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora stated that it is just a mild case of carpel tunnel syndrome and it is easily treatable, so it looks like starting pitcher David Price (hand) will be able to avoid a trip to the disabled list. Price was scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday due to numbness […]

Aaron Nola Dominant in 12-Strikeout Victory

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola had his best game of the season on Tuesday night. The righty sat down 12 San Francisco batters, which was a career high in strikeouts for the Philadelphia ace. He only gave up five hits and allowed one earned over seven innings. Nola has had a stellar year to […]

Mookie Betts in Tuesday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts is back batting leadoff for the Red Sox on Tuesday after leaving Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury. This is welcomed news for fantasy owners, as Betts has been one of the best players in baseball so far this season. He avoided serious injury and should continue to […]

Mookie Betts Exits Sunday's Game With Apparent Injury

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was drilled in the back by a thrown ball during the first inning of Sunday's game against the Rangers. Betts originally attempted to stay in the game, but was removed in the second inning for Blake Swihart. It seemed like it was the shoulder area that was giving Betts […]

Curtis Granderson Leaves Friday's Game With Apparent Injury

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson left the game in the bottom of the second inning on Friday, although the reason why is unknown. An injury was the original speculation, but so far there is no information about his absence. Dalton Pompey, who was recently called up by the Jays, came into the game to […]

Steven Souza With Rest Day Friday

The Arizona Diamondbacks welcomed Steven Souza back to the lineup on Thursday after he had a bout with pectoral soreness, but he will be given the day off on Friday in order to maintain his health. Thursday was the first regular season game of the year for Souza, so fantasy owners should be excited about […]

Cody Bellinger Missing From Friday's Lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers have the highest payroll in baseball but due to injuries and rest days, their Friday lineup looks more reminiscent of a Triple-A team. First baseman Cody Bellinger will be getting a day off on Friday, as he has played eight games in the past week. Bellinger is still one of the […]

Marwin Gonzalez Gets Day Off On Friday

The Houston Astros will be opening a series in Arizona on Friday, and infielder Marwin Gonzalez did not crack the starting lineup. The utility man has started the past six games, so this just looks like a simple rest day as the team loses their designated hitter spot in a National League ballpark. After a […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Expected to Start Saturday

After needing a couple of days to deal with a family matter, it looks like Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will still be able to make his start on Saturday against the Rangers. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Rodriguez was rejoining the team Friday in Arlington and he assumes that he […]

Dansby Swanson Placed on Disabled List

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to inflammation in his left wrist. There is no structural damage, but the wrist was not healing as quick as the team was hoping for. Swanson had a surprising start to the season, registering two homers, 13 RBI and a .289 […]

Anthony Rendon Expected Back on Saturday

It looks like the Washington Nationals will be getting their starting third baseman back very soon. Nats' manager Dave Martinez said that Anthony Rendon (toe) will be activated off of the disabled list on Saturday as long as he has no setbacks during Friday's rehab game with Potomac. The slugger has missed the last 14 […]

Ryan Braun Not in Friday's Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun left Wednesday's game with calf tightness and the ailment will keep him out against the Pirates on Friday. Domingo Santana will slide into his right field spot while Jesus Aguilar starts at first base. Thankfully, the injury does not seem very serious and he should be back in just a […]

Bobby Poyner Recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket

The Boston Red Sox were in need of a fresh relief arm and they get that with the 25-year-old Bobby Poyner. In order to complete the move, the team sent down reliever Marcus Walden, who pitched 3 2/3 scoreless innings in Thursday's game. Poyner is only fantasy relevant in leagues that value holds, but the […]

Brock Holt Nearing Rehab Stint

The Boston Red Sox look like they have more help just around the corner. Infielder Brock Holt (hamstring) was doing running drills on Thursday, which suggests he's close to going on a minor league rehab stint. Holt was swinging a hot bat early in the year, which is evidenced by his .340 average and seven […]

Steve Pearce Lands on 10-Day Disabled List

The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Steve Pearce on the disabled list before the second half of their doubleheader on Thursday due to a left oblique strain. Through 21 games this season, Pearce has put up a respectable .270 average with three homers and 13 RBI, but that production can easily be replaced on the […]

Miguel Cabrera Leaves Thursday's Game with Strained Hamstring

It has been an injury-riddled campaign so far for Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hamstring). The 35-year-old was removed from Thursday's game after straining his hamstring in the sixth inning. He had just returned to the Tigers lineup after missing the previous three games with bicep spasms, but now it looks likely that he […]
