Braxton Garrett Fans 10 In Emergency Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett was splendid on Saturday, taking the win against the Padres.

Overall, Braxton worked his way through seven innings before calling it a day, allowing two runs […]

Patrick Sandoval Allows Only One Hit On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval was dominant on Saturday against Minnesota. The 24-year-old recorded the win, taking a no-hitter into the ninth before it was canceled by a double from Brent Rooker. Overall, it was a fantastic outing from the southpaw, striking out 13 batters in total. After logging a loss in each […]

Drew Smyly To Be Evaluated On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly (knee) will be evaluated in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Although the team hasn't ruled him out for his next start, at least not yet, fantasy managers will undoubtedly be anxiously awaiting an […]

Ryan Weathers Returns On Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (ankle) returned on Saturday against the Marlins. Making his first appearance since landing on the 10-day injured list with right ankle inflammation, the 21-year-old pitched four scoreless innings, allowing two hits while striking out four. He also was impressive as a hitter, cracking a 421-foot solo shot to […]

Jordy Mercer Injured Again

Washington Nationals shortstop Jordy Mercer (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old veteran is currently dealing with a left leg strain, and it's even more unfortunate considering he was just activated from the IL over a week ago after spending time on the shelf with a right quad strain. Although Mercer has […]

R.J. Alaniz Placed On Injured List

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher R.J. Alaniz (calf) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The righty left Friday's matchup against St. Louis because of a left calf strain, which isn't pleasant news, primarily since he just got the big league call nearly a week ago. Nonetheless, the 29-year-old hasn't done much this season during […]

Sean Poppen Promoted From Durham

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Sean Poppen was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. The 27-year-old righty was acquired from Pittsburgh back in May for cash and has played relatively well during his limited time in Durham. However, he doesn't have much fantasy value, so managers can surely keep him off the roster unless he finds […]

Mark Payton Traded To New York

The Mets acquired outfielder Mark Payton from the Reds on Saturday. The 29-year-old was dealt for cash and will head to Syracuse for a stint in Triple-A. He hasn't done much during his limited appearances in Cincinnati this season, batting .182 while racking up four hits in 22 at-bats. Payton may find time in the […]

Jimmie Sherfy Lands On Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Jimmie Sherfy (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 29-year-old right-hander is currently dealing with elbow inflammation, unfortunate news considering he was recently claimed off waivers. Nonetheless, Sherfy hasn't played well during his brief tenure in L.A. so far, currently sitting on a 4.15 ERA throughout four outings […]

Brandon Drury Recalled From Syracuse

New York Mets infielder Brandon Drury was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Drury will provide bench depth, although there is a chance for a more prominent role if injuries pop up somewhere down the line. He struggled initially during his initial run with the big club but began to turn things around in May by […]

Jeff McNeil Not An Injury List Candidate

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil (leg) was scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday against the Blue Jays. The 29-year-old continues to deal with left leg muscle fatigue, an ailment that has kept him out since exiting Wednesday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. Fortunately, McNeil isn't being considered for a spot on the […]

Brendan Rodgers Out Again On Saturday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers isn't starting during Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rodgers didn't play on Friday either, although not much has been revealed as to why. Garrett Hampson will enter the starting lineup once again, with the 26-year-old compiling a hit and two runs during the series opener against L.A. […]

Alejo Lopez Recalled From Louisville

Cincinnati Reds infielder Alejo Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. Lopez played sparingly for the big club this season but fared relatively well, compiling five hits and three runs throughout 17 at-bats. Although the 25-year-old isn't expected to see consistent playing time, he is someone to keep an eye on moving ahead, primarily […]

Alex Cobb Exits Friday’s Game Against Twins

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb exited Friday's matchup against the Twins. It's unknown why he left, although he was escorted off the mound with a trainer before starting the sixth inning. The 33-year-old has been an effective fantasy option, currently owning a 7-3 record along with a 3.96 ERA and 80 strikeouts. More […]

Jeff McNeil Likely Out On Saturday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (leg) is unlikely to start on Saturday against the Blue Jays. He wasn't available on Friday either as he continues to deal with left leg muscle fatigue. Although he is technically not injured, skipper Luis Rojas indicated that the team would take a cautious approach before allowing him to […]

Gary Sanchez Leaves Game With Back Spasms

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (back) exited Friday's matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran had the plug pulled in the sixth inning because of back spasms, an unfortunate development considering how well he has played lately, smacking three dingers throughout the last seven games. Sanchez was replaced behind the dish by Rob […]

Robert Stock Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Stock (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday.

Brad Wieck Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brad Wieck (illness) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The 29-year-old southpaw is currently dealing with an irregular heartbeat, an ailment he was also plagued with last season. During his brief appearances on the bump for the Cubs this season, he has been a reliable bullpen option, logging […]

Nick Anderson Sent For Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) was sent to the FCL on Friday to begin his rehab assignment. It's unknown how long the 31-year-old righty will be at the complex. However, it's still positive news after he has missed the entire season so far because of a partially torn UCL. Anderson finished the […]

Chris Mazza Heading Back To Durham

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Chris Mazza is heading back to Durham. Mazza's most recent big-league stint didn't last long as he just got the call to report on Wednesday. The 31-year-old has a 6.60 ERA throughout eight games this season, which isn't good by any means. Nonetheless, he doesn't have any fantasy value, so […]

Brooks Kriske Demoted On Friday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Brooks Kriske was sent packing back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. The demotion isn't a surprise, especially after his horrendous performance on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. The 27-year-old is currently sitting on a 10.80 ERA throughout seven big league appearances this year, so he can be dropped in all […]

Evan Longoria Making Progress

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) has begun hitting progression and other baseball activities. The veteran has been on the 60-day injured list because of a left shoulder sprain, which is unfortunate considering he was batting .280 before going down with the injury. Longoria is eligible to return sometime in August, so fantasy […]

Sammy Long Felt Good After Recent Pen Session

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sammy Long (back) felt good after throwing another bullpen session on Thursday, logging 30 pitches in total. The lefty has been out since the start of July because of a back strain, so it seems like things are moving in the right direction. However, the 26-year-old has struggled this year, posting […]

Jaylin Davis Heading To Triple-A

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jaylin Davis (hamstring) will report to Triple-A over the weekend to begin his rehab assignment. Davis has been out for a few weeks because of a Grade 1 hamstring strain, so it appears as if he is very close to possibly making it back to the big club. Davis also battled […]

Aaron Sanchez Makes Another Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (biceps) took a beating during his latest rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento. The 29-year-old logged just over five innings of service against Tacoma, allowing five runs off of eight hits while striking out four batters. Although things obviously could have gone better, the righty is moving in the […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Leaves Friday’s Contest

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez exited Friday's contest against the New York Yankees. The lefty lasted only one inning before his premature exit. However, it's unknown exactly what he is dealing with, so fantasy managers may have to wait for an explanation. He was subsequently replaced by Phillips Valdez, with more information on […]

John Collins Receives Qualifying Offer From Hawks

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins received a $7.7 million qualifying offer from the team on Thursday, making him a restricted free agent. Collins played relatively well last season and was instrumental in helping the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals, where he averaged 13.8 points and 9.5 boards throughout the six games against Milwaukee. The […]

Bradley Beal Rumors Gaining Traction

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal has been a hot commodity for virtually every team throughout the league.
