Eddie Rosario Could Return Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (ankle) did some running, outfield work and hitting on Sunday and could return from the injured list on Tuesday.

Jacob Waguespack Likely To Start Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said that pitcher Jacob Waguespack is likely to start on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Sean Reid-Foley is also a possibility next Thursday in place of Clayton Richard (lat), who landed on the injured list on Sunday. Waguespack, 25, has a 5.00 ERA in nine relief innings with 11 […]

Aaron Brooks To Start Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Aaron Brooks will make the start on Wednesday against the Nationals. Brooks tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings against the Rays on Saturday and might get a chance to prove himself in the starting rotation. The 29-year-old right-hander had a 5.01 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 in 15 outings (six starts) […]

Kirby Yates' Asking Price Is High

The San Diego Padres have placed a high price tag on closer Kirby Yates as the trade deadline approaches, according to other teams. Unless another team steps up and makes a big offer, Yates is likely staying in San Diego. It makes sense for the Friars to have a high asking price on their lone […]

Cameron Maybin Nearing Return

New York Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin (calf), who suffered a left calf strain on June 21, is on the cusp of beginning a rehab assignment. He ran outside for the first time on Saturday and has been working on a treadmill over the last week. Manager Aaron Boone said that Maybin will ramp up baseball […]

J.C. Ramirez To Make At Least One More Rehab Start

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher J.C. Ramirez (elbow) will make at least one more rehab start for Triple-A Salt Lake, according to manager Brad Ausmus. Ramirez is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and has a rough 7.91 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 4.9 K/9 in his eight rehab starts to date. Most importantly, […]

Carlos Correa, Aledmys Diaz Starting Rehab Assignments Monday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (ribs) and infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) will both start their rehab assignments on Monday with Triple-A Round Rock. Both players should be able to return to the active roster before the end of the month, barring any setbacks. Correa was hitting a nice .295/.360/.547 with 11 home runs, 26 runs, […]

Alec Mills To Start Tuesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills will start on Tuesday against the Reds. Mills, 27, has gone 6-2 with a 4.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 26 walks and 77 strikeouts in 80 innings over 14 starts and a relief outing for Triple-A Iowa this year. He has a 5.48 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 27 strikeouts […]

Steven Matz Rejoining Rotation Wednesday

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz threw a simulated game on Friday and will return to the starting rotation on Wednesday on the road against the Twins. The Mets sent Matz to the bullpen to close out the first half and get the struggling left-hander a little rest. The 28-year-old is 5-6 in 2019 […]

Nathan Eovaldi Expected To Go On Rehab Assignment Soon

Boston Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski said that starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) is expected to throw to hitters at Fenway Park on Monday and then embark on a rehab assignment.

Hunter Pence Looking To Return Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (groin) is rehabbing with Double-A Frisco over the weekend and is aiming to return from the injured list on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. The 36-year-old finished off the first half injured, but he was a revelation otherwise in a bounce-back season that has seen him hit .294/.353/.608 with 15 home […]

Mitch Moreland Suffers Setback On Rehab Assignment

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) is still out of the lineup for Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday. The team was hoping he would be able to resume his rehab assignment after feeling more quadriceps tightness on Friday. He'll need to get more at-bats before the Red Sox will activate him from the injured […]

Clayton Richard Hits Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays placed starting pitcher Clayton Richard (lat) on the injured list on Sunday for the second time this year. The veteran left-hander left his start early on Saturday against the Yankees after suffering a left lat strain. There is no timetable for the 35-year-old's return, but lat strains can often keep pitchers […]

Ken Giles Day-To-Day With Nerve Inflammation

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles (arm) is being listed as day-to-day with nerve inflammation in his right arm, which was the result of getting a massage, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Giles wasn't available on Saturday and won't be available on Sunday either. Daniel Hudson pulled out the save against the Yankees and would […]

JaCoby Jones To Go On Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones (back) is expected to go out on a short minor league rehab assignment, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Jones, who has been out with back spasms, is scheduled to play three or four games for Triple-A Toledo, beginning on Monday. Jones hasn't played since July 1 and was hitting .244/.313/.444 […]

Dylan Bundy Expected To Miss Just One Start

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde thinks that starting pitcher Dylan Bundy (knee) will miss only one start after he was placed on the injured list on Saturday. The only thing that makes Bundy attractive from a fantasy perspective are his strikeouts (97 in 92 innings over 18 starts). Otherwise, he's basically useless in most formats […]

Danny Duffy To Make Next Start

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said that starting pitcher Danny Duffy (hand) will make his next start after leaving early on Friday against the Tigers after being hit by a line drive on his left hand. The left-hander has his moments, but he's been up and down for his fantasy owners in deeper leagues […]

Daniel Robertson Close To Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson (knee) is making quick progress since having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and could start a rehab assignment in the next week, according to manager Kevin Cash. It's good news, but Robertson just isn't much of a fantasy commodity as a utility player in Tampa. He was also […]

Avisail Garcia Out For Game 1

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Saturday. First baseman Ji-Man Choi (ankle) is back from the injured list and is the designated hitter while hitting seventh against Orioles starting pitcher Aaron Brooks. Nathaniel Lowe is at first base and is batting fifth […]

Alex Dickerson Won't Play Saturday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (back) left the game early Friday night with back tightness and will not be in the lineup on Saturday as a result. Dickerson has an extensive injury history, so the team is hoping it's not a serious issue that keeps him out for an extended period of time. The […]

Nick Bosa Looks Ready For Training Camp

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa (hamstring) said he will be ready for Week 1 after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain on May 23. He posted photos on his Instagram of him working out on Friday. The first-round pick was out almost all of his final season at Ohio State […]

Patrick Peterson Wants To Stay In Arizona

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson requested a trade last October but said on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Friday that he "would love to be a Cardinal for life." Peterson should be a much better fit in defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's system, but he's also facing a six-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing […]

Mo Alie-Cox Will Have A Role

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox will be behind both Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle as the No. 3 tight end, but head coach Frank Reich loves tight ends and what Alie-Cox brings to the table. The Colts used a decent amount of three-tight end sets last year and Alie-Cox was even out-snapping Ebron in […]

Tampa Has High Hopes For Breshad Perriman

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman won't quite replace DeSean Jackson as the team's deep threat in 2019, but the Buccaneers are the "most excited about" Perriman among their offseason acquisitions. Perriman was a first-round bust for the Ravens and has a history of drops, but he looked good in the second half of […]

Bucs May Be In Play For Duke Johnson

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a team to watch as a potential destination for Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson if he is traded. Johnson wants to be traded, but the Browns continue to claim that they want him around, at least until Kareem Hunt is reinstated from his suspension halfway through the 2019 season. […]

Danny Duffy Leaves Game Early Friday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (hand) was hit by a line drive on his left hand and was forced to leave his start early on Friday against the Tigers. X-rays came back negative, though, and the left-hander was diagnosed with a bruise. The 30-year-old allowed six hits and four earned runs while walking […]

Matt Strahm Moved To Bullpen

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Strahm will return to the bullpen for the start of the second half of the season. The 27-year-old will attempt to help the team's struggles against left-handed hitters out of the 'pen in a role that has seen him achieve some success in the past. Strahm had a 2.05 […]

Sean Manaea To Make Rehab Start Saturday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) will throw four innings at Single-A Stockton on Saturday. It'll be the left-hander's second rehab start for Stockton after he gave up four earned runs in just 2 1/3 frames his first time out earlier this week. The good news is that Manaea hasn't had any setbacks from […]

Eric Lauer Placed On Bereavement List

The San Diego Padres placed starting pitcher Eric Lauer on the bereavement list on Friday and called up relief prospect Andres Munoz from Double-A Amarillo in a corresponding move. The left-handed Lauer is 5-7 for the Friars this year with a 4.04 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 7.1 K/9 in 91 1/3 innings over his 17 […]

Zack Cozart To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (shoulder) will have season-ending arthroscopic debridement on his left shoulder next Wednesday, July 17, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Cozart has done very little of anything in his two years with the Halos and was also held to just 58 games due to injury in 2018. He […]
