Miguel Cabrera Not Starting Against Guardians

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. Fantasy managers need to make sure to remove Cabrera from their lineups for the final game of the first half of the season. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer isn't a great source of counting stats […]

Rafael Devers Provides Lone Run For Red Sox

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was the team's offense in a 14-1 rout at the hands of the division-rival New York Yankees on Saturday night. Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the contest. The 25-year-old will start at third base for the American League in next week's All-Star game, and […]

Willi Castro Starting At Third Base Again

Detroit Tigers infielder Willi Castro is getting the start at third base and is batting eighth on Sunday against Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber. Castro will be making his second start at the hot corner in the last three games, and it appears that the struggling Jeimer Candelario is no longer the team's top option […]

Trea Turner Homers Twice Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner had a night on Saturday in the 7-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, two runs scored and one strikeout.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, starting in center field and batting seventh in the lineup.

Giancarlo Stanton Retreats To The Bench

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will start Sunday's game against the division-rival Boston Red Sox on the bench.

Josh Donaldson Resting Sunday

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox.

Devin Williams Added To NL All-Star Roster

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams has been added to the National League All-Star roster, replacing Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried. Although Josh Hader is the Brewers closer, Williams is plenty valuable to fantasy managers with his 2-0 record, 1.77 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 59 strikeouts and 19 walks in 35 2/3 innings pitched. The 27-year-old […]

Jordan Romano Added To AL All-Star Team

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano has been added to the American League All-Star team as a replacement for Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander.

Liam Hendriks Added To AL All-Star Roster

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks has been added to the American League All-Star roster as a replacement for New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole.

Luis Robert Out Of The Lineup Against Minnesota

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins. Robert was removed from Friday's game early due to light-headedness and missed Saturday's game as well. The White Sox will hope whatever is ailing him is cleared up when the second half of the season starts following […]

George Springer Taking Sunday Off

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Springer has played in each of the team's last eight games despite dealing with a sore right elbow, so he'll get a day to rest on Sunday before skipping the All-Star game next week. The […]

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas (ankle), who missed four games last year with an ankle injury that required offseason surgery, has been rehabbing and is expected to be ready for training camp.

Rashard Higgins To Benefit From Baker Mayfield?

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rashard Higgins played four seasons with quarterback Baker Mayfield in Cleveland before signing a one-year deal with the Panthers in March.

Scotty Miller Not A Lock To Make The Roster

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller, who had 84 total receiving yards last year, including the playoffs, isn't a lock to make the team's 53-man roster out of training camp given how deep the team is at the position. There's a chance he's cut and signs elsewhere, he could be traded before roster cutdowns, […]

Jacob deGrom To Throw Live BP Tuesday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session on Tuesday at Port St. Lucie, and it will be considered his fourth minor league rehab start. deGrom stretched out to 42 pitches over four innings in his third rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, striking out four while […]

Jesus Sanchez Remains Out Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez remains out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Washington Nationals All-Star outfielder Juan Soto is now available for a trade after recently turning down a 15-year, $440 million offer, according to sources.

Eloy Jimenez Absent From Lineup Against Twins

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday, as expected, against the Minnesota Twins. Jimenez is dealing with right leg tightness, and manager Tony La Russa said recently that he doesn't expect the 25-year-old to return before next week's All-Star break since he has yet to resume running. […]

Ranger Suarez Activated For Start Saturday

The Philadelphia Phillies activated left-hander Ranger Suarez (back) from the 15-day injured list and infielder Johan Camargo (knee) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday and optioned right-hander Mark Appel and outfielder Mickey Moniak to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in corresponding moves.

Luis Robert Not In The Lineup Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins after he left Friday's game early due to light-headedness.
