Javier Baez Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) was held out of Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old is still dealing with thumb soreness, an ailment that caused him to miss some games earlier in the week. While there isn't anything to suggest that the veteran will need a trip to the injured list, at least […]

Tanner Houck To Face Hitters Soon

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Hock (forearm) participated in a bullpen session on Sunday and is expected to face hitters soon. The 24-year-old has been out of commission since being shut down in May because of a flexor strain. However, Houck has appeared sparingly for the big club this season, compiling a 0-2 record […]

Zac Gallen Throws In A Simulated Game

Arizona Cardinals starting pitcher Zac Gallen (elbow) participated in a simulated game on Sunday, throwing 46 pitches throughout nearly three innings of work. The righty has been dealing with elbow soreness and has been out since the beginning of May. While the news is positive, the 25-year-old still has some hurdles to clear before he […]

Kwang Hyun Kim Logs Successful Pen Session

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim (back) completed a bullpen session at Wrigley Field on Sunday. If all goes well with his recovery, the southpaw would then be on the bump on Tuesday against Miami. The 32-year-old veteran has struggled and been bothered by consistent back issues throughout the year. Hopefully, the stint […]

Jeff Green Will Play Sunday Against Bucks

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) is available for Sunday's postseason matchup against Milwaukee. Green hasn't played since the end of May because of a left plantar fascia strain, and his return should cause Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton to see fewer minutes. While the veteran will see a minutes cap, he may get enough […]

Luis Arraez To Be Evaluated On Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez (shoulder) is inching closer to a return. The 24-year-old will be evaluated during his rehab game for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, and if all goes well, he could be back in the big-league lineup during the team's upcoming two-city road tour against Seattle and Texas. Arraez has been out […]

Max Kepler To Start Rehab Assignment On Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) will start his rehab assignment on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been out since May 29 because of a strained left hamstring, so it appears as if he is inching closer to making it back to the big club. Kepler is batting .212, with 28 hits, 22 RBI, 20 runs, […]

Luke Voit To Begin Rehab Stint On Sunday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday. According to skipper Aaron Boone, the slugger will be sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for "about a week" before he is scheduled to return to the big club. Voit has been out since the end of May because of a strained […]

Aaron Judge Not In The Lineup On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (back) isn't in the lineup on Sunday against Philly. The slugger has been dealing with spasms since Saturday night, although it's unknown if the ailment will require a trip to the 10-day injured list. More on his status moving forward should be revealed ahead of the Bomber's upcoming series […]

Nick Senzel Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. The 25-year-old had surgery on his left knee back in May to address inflammation and isn't expected to return until July anyway, so the move appears to be more of a formality. Senzel is batting .252, with 28 hits, 18 […]

Dodgers Place Max Muncy On IL

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Muncy left Friday's game against the Rangers because of right side tightness, which was later revealed to be a right oblique strain. In a corresponding move, Luke Raley was recalled from Triple-A, while Albert Pujols could be in line for […]

Michael Conforto Runs The Bases On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) was spotted running the bases at Citi Field prior to Saturday's game against the Padres. Conforto is progressing on schedule and could be nearing a rehab stint soon, encouraging news considering he has been out since May 16 because of a right hamstring strain. Fantasy managers just need […]

Billy McKinney Day-To-Day

New York Mets outfielder Billy McKinney (knee) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday due to a sore right knee. He had an MRI, which returned positive results, meaning the 26-year-old is day-to-day moving forward. While it's unknown whether or not he will require a trip to the injured list, it is still welcome news for […]

Kolten Wong Expected Back During Road Trip

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (oblique) is expected back at some point during the team's upcoming seven-game road trip. The tour kicks off in Colorado on June 17 before ending in Arizona on June 23. It's unknown exactly which of those games will mark the veteran's return, but it is certainly welcome news for […]

Travis Shaw Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) was officially transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. No surprise here, primarily since the veteran could be going under the knife in the near future after dislocating his left shoulder on Wednesday against the Reds. Shaw is eligible to come off the IL in August, and if […]

Max Muncy Out On Saturday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (side) will not play for the second game of the series against the Rangers. Muncy exited Friday's meeting due to tightness in his right side, which isn't good news for a team that has continuously been plagued by injuries this season. Manager Dave Roberts also indicated that there […]

Cody Bellinger Expected Back On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (cramps) is anticipated to return for the series finale against the Rangers, according to skipper Dave Roberts. Bellinger left Friday's matchup because of lower-body cramps, and he isn't in the lineup on Saturday, although that was expected with Texas southpaw Kolby Allard on the rubber. More on his status […]

Jeimer Candelario Placed On COVID-19 IL

Detroit Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario has been placed on the COVID-19 IL. The 27-year-old recently spent time on the bereavement list because of a death in his family. However, since he was out of the country, he will need to clear protocols before returning to the lineup, which is expected sometime next week.

Mike Moustakas May Return For Upcoming Road Trip

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (heel) has a chance to return during the team's upcoming nine-game road trip. The itinerary includes stops in Milwaukee and San Diego before ending in Minnesota on June 22, though it's unknown exactly which of these games he'll make it back for. The veteran has been out since mid-May because […]

Luis Severino Dealing With A Groin Injury

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino (groin) exited Saturday's rehab start for High-A Hudson Valley. Not good news, primarily since this is only the righty's second outing since having Tommy John Surgery back on February 27, 2020. The 27-year-old will have an MRI on Sunday to determine how bad the injury is. However, things aren't […]

Wil Crowe Starting On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Wil Crowe will start on Sunday in Milwaukee. This will be the righty's first time on the bump for the big club since being optioned to Triple-A at the beginning of June. Nonetheless, fantasy managers looking for someone to fill a void may want to try elsewhere, primarily after the 26-year-old has […]

Trevor Cahill Heading Back To The IL

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) is going back on the 10-day injured list. This isn't good news for the veteran, who was freshly activated from the IL a few days ago after missing three weeks because of the same ailment, a left calf strain. The 33-year-old was recently shifted to a bullpen role after […]

Positive News For Jacob deGrom

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (hand) had an MRI on Saturday. The results were positive, indicating no structural damage, which is welcome news for fantasy managers after the ace exited Friday's start against the Padres because of right flexor tendonitis. deGrom was spotted playing catch at Citi Field on Saturday afternoon and is […]

Trevor Rogers Heads To The IL

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers has been placed on the injured list. The 23-year-old doesn't currently have an official designation, so many are suspecting it is COVID-19 related. While it is unknown if he tested positive for the virus, was exposed, or is dealing with vaccine side effects, the news is unfortunate, especially after […]

Hunter Strickland Heading To Milwaukee

The Los Angeles Angeles traded pitcher Hunter Strickland to Milwaukee on Saturday for cash considerations. The journeyman recorded a 1.69 ERA throughout 13 games in Tampa Bay earlier in the year before being dealt to Los Angeles in May. However, he saw a significant regression in production while wearing an Angels' uniform, positing a miserable […]

Xander Bogaerts Officially Out On Saturday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (knee) is officially out on Saturday against Toronto. The 28-year-old will now miss his second-straight contest after being a late scratch on Friday evening because of left knee soreness. He still has a chance to make it back for either (or both) of the final two games of the […]

Travis Shaw To Rehab Until August Before Deciding On Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will try to rehab until August before deciding on surgery. The 31-year-old suffered a nasty dislocation of his left elbow on Wednesday against the Reds but will try to work his way back before deciding whether or not he needs to go under the knife. If rehab doesn't improve […]

Daniel Hudson Placed On 10-Day IL

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran had an MRI on Friday, which revealed right elbow inflammation. While Hudson is a two-time Tommy John recipient, manager Dave Martinez indicated that the issue is in the "back of the elbow," so the team isn't overly concerned, primarily […]

James Harden Unlikely For Game 4

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is likely out on Sunday against Milwaukee. Harden continues to deal with nagging right hamstring tightness, which he suffered during Game 1 of the series back on June 5. The team has kept the former MVP's status moving ahead mostly under wraps, but if the Nets can't make it […]

Danny Green To Have MRI On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green (calf) will have an MRI on Sunday but isn't expected to suit up for Game 4 against the Hawks. Green strained his right calf in the first quarter during Friday's win over the Hawks. The veteran hasn't played well during the series, racking up just nine points while going 1-for-9 […]
