Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler turned in a great start in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Brewers.

Matt Wisler, Lucas Sims, Preston Tucker Join Reds

The Cincinnati Reds traded outfielder Adam Duvall to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for pitchers Matt Wisler and Lucas Sims and outfielder Preston Tucker.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo had an excellent outing in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.

Jordy Mercer Out Of Lineup Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. Sean Rodriguez will fill his spot in the lineup.

Cody Bellinger Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves. Bellinger will sit with lefty Sean Newcomb on the mound, as he is hitting just .221 against lefties this season. Max Muncy will play first base and Kike Hernandez will play center field. Muncy is a […]

Billy Hamilton Out Of Lineup Sunday

Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Hamilton had started the past six games, so this appears to be a typical day off. Mason Williams will play center in his place. Williams is hitting .250 with a three-run home run in 10 plate appearances […]

Jeimer Candelario Out Of Lineup Sunday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians. Ronny Rodriguez will man the hot corner in his place. Rodriguez is hitting just .163 this season and the Tigers will face ace Corey Kluber, so fantasy players should avoid him today.

Adam Jones Likely To Stay With Orioles In 2018

Despite his name appearing in trade talks, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is likely to remain with the O's through the rest of the 2018 season, per The Athletic's Dan Connolly.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 win against the Braves.
