Trent Grisham Isn't Starting Game 1 On Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham isn't in the team's lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Bryse Wilson Starting On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryse Wilson will take the mound on Wednesday in the second game of the team's doubleheader against the San Diego Padres.

Spencer Turnbull To Have Tommy John Surgery

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery and won't pitch again this season. The starter was previously placed on the 10-day injured list on June 5. He was later transferred to the 60-day injured list on July 7. It's unfortunate news for both the Tigers and fantasy managers, as the […]


Josh Bell Isn't In Tuesday's Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell isn't in the team's lineup for a Tuesday matchup with the Miami Marlins and left-handed starter Trevor Rogers. Bell is batting .249 with a .310 on-base percentage and 13 home runs in 290 plate appearances this season. It'll be Ryan Zimmerman who gets the start against Rogers on Tuesday. […]


Joey Wendle Not Starting On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle isn't in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday. Wendle is hitting .277 with a .337 on-base percentage, seven home runs and six stolen bases so far this season.

Larnach is hitting .236 with a .329 on-base percentage, seven home runs and a stolen base in 228 plate appearances this season.

Cesar Hernandez Not Starting On Sunday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez isn't in the team's starting lineup on Sunday as they take on the Oakland Athletics. Hernandez is hitting .233 with a .300 on-base percentage in 380 plate appearances this season, but he's provided plenty of value to Cleveland and fantasy managers by mashing 15 home runs. That being said, […]


Ian Happ Isn’t Starting On Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ isn't in the team's lineup on Sunday. The Cubs will face the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-handed starter Merrill Kelly, but will do so with Happ on the bench. The outfielder has struggled at the plate this season, batting just .181 with a .295 on-base percentage in 277 plate appearances. He's […]


Willson Contreras Not In Sunday’s Lineup

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras isn't in the team's lineup on Sunday as the Cubs take on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

However, he won't be getting the […]


Victor Caratini Isn’t In Saturday’s Lineup

Jake Cronenworth is moving over from second base […]


Max Stassi Not Starting On Saturday

The 30-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season at the plate, hitting .303 with a .381 on-base percentage and seven home runs in 134 plate appearances. Fellow backstop Kurt Suzuki is getting the […]


Jonathan Villar Not In Saturday’s Lineup

New York Mets third baseman Jonathan Villar isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday as they take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Villar is batting .231 with a .313 on-base percentage in 234 plate appearances this season. He's also contributed nine home runs and eight stolen bases. J.D. Davis is getting the start at third base […]


Pablo Lopez Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday due to a right rotator cuff strain. Fellow right-handed pitcher John Curtiss was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. It's unfortunate news for both the Marlins and fantasy managers, as Lopez was in the midst […]


Connor Brogdon Activated From COVID-19 List

The Philadelphia Phillies activated relief pitcher Connor Brogdon from the COVID-19 list on Saturday. Fellow pitcher Mauricio Llovera was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Brogdon previously pitched to a 4.19 ERA and a 4.07 FIP in 37 appearances spanning 34 1/3 innings for the Phillies this season. He also struck out […]


Paul Goldschmidt Off To Strong Start In July

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has had somewhat of a down season at the plate so far, hitting .261 with a .329 on-base percentage, 12 home runs and five stolen bases in 368 plate appearances this season. However, he's been hitting the ball much better of late. Since the calendar turned to July, […]


Lance McCullers Jr. Will Start First Game Of Second Half

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. will take the mound for the team's first game following the All-Star break. McCullers is set to face the Chicago White Sox on July 16. It's not an ideal matchup for McCullers in real life or in fantasy given that the White Sox have one of baseball's best […]


Didi Gregorius Not In Saturday’s Linuep

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius isn't in the team's lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran is batting .233 with a .277 on-base percentage, seven home runs and a pair of stolen bases in 159 plate appearances so far this season. He'll sit on Saturday with Ronald Torreyes getting the start […]


Logan Webb Optioned To Triple-A

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday. The team optioned the hurler to make room for Joey Bart on the active roster. Webb was activated from the injured list to start on Friday and tossed three scoreless innings against the Washington Nationals, allowing just one hit while striking out […]


Joey Bart Recalled From Triple-A

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart was recalled from Triple-A by the team on Saturday. The catching prospect takes the place of right-handed pitcher Logan Webb, who was optioned to Triple-A. Bart could be a candidate to see extended time behind the plate with Buster Posey currently on the injured list due to a left […]


Reiss Knehr Called Up To Start Friday

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Reiss Knehr was called up by the team on Friday and will start in place of Blake Snell (illness) against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park. Knehr, one of the team's best pitching prospects, was previously pitching at Double-A, where he owned a 3.90 ERA in 55 1/3 innings. The 24-year-old […]


Blake Snell Back On The Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (illness) is going back on the 10-day injured list on Friday with gastroenteritis. The hurler was scheduled to take the mound for a start at home against the Colorado Rockies, but his stomach issues have returned. He returned from the injured list and made his July 4 start […]


Nate Lowe Not In Friday’s Lineup

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe isn't starting for the team on Friday. The 26-year-old has provided solid value for both the Rangers and fantasy managers in his debut season in Texas. In 363 plate appearances, Lowe is hitting .261 with a .355 on-base percentage and 12 home runs. He's also chipped in with four […]


Omar Narvaez Not In Friday’s Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez isn't in the team's lineup on Friday as they continue a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. The 29-year-old has been one of the best catchers in the majors and in fantasy so far, hitting .302 with a .398 on-base percentage and eight home runs in 241 plate appearances. He'll […]


Willson Contreras Has Reached Base In Eight Straight Games

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras continues to be productive at the plate. The catcher has reached base in eight consecutive games dating back to late June. That stretch hasn't included a home run, but he's hitting .308 with a .500 on-base percentage, 10 walks and just three strikeouts in 36 plate appearances during those eight […]


Victor Gonzalez Placed On The Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Victor Gonzalez (foot) was placed on the 10-day injured list due to left plantar fasciitis on Thursday. The Dodgers recalled fellow reliever Garrett Cleavinger to the active roster. Gonzalez has been a quality bullpen option for the Dodgers with a 2.57 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 28 innings. He has […]


Jorge Soler Not In Thursday’s Lineup

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler is not in the team's lineup Thursday as they kick off a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians. Soler, who has seen significant time in right field and at designated hitter so far this season, isn't starting against Cleveland right-hander Zach Plesac. The 29-year-old is hitting just .183 this season. […]


Sonny Gray Placed On Injured List, Tony Santillan Recalled

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (rib) was placed on the injured list on Thursday due to a rib cage strain. Gray previously spent time on the injured list due to a right groin strain. He was activated on July 2 and made two starts, but is now once again sidelined for the Reds. The […]
