Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (Achilles) has a chance at returning this season.

The 23-year-old has compiled a 15-6 record to go […]

Michael Pineda May Miss At Least A Start

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (forearm) is expected to miss at least one chance through the rotation.

The veteran is currently sporting a 3-3 record and a 3.46 ERA […]

Cody Bellinger Doesn’t Suit Up On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) didn't suit up on Sunday against the Rangers. Although he was expected to, the 25-year-old reported that he "just didn't feel right," which prompted skipper Dave Roberts to make the call to keep him out. Bellinger wasn't available on Saturday either, and his status for the team's upcoming […]

Jose Quintana To Throw Another Session On Monday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Quintana (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session on Monday.

Kurt Suzuki Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (leg) is considered day-to-day. The veteran is dealing with left leg soreness after getting nailed by a pitch during Friday's meeting against Arizona. The team hasn't called up another catcher, so it appears that Suzuki could be available at some point during upcoming games against Oakland and Detroit. Nonetheless, […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
