Orioles-Twins Rained Out Friday

The game between the Baltimore Orioles and Minnesota Twins on Friday has been postponed due to rain. The two clubs will play a doubleheader on Saturday. Jose Berrios was set to start for the Twins, while Alex Cobb was going for the Orioles. They will likely just be pushed back to Saturday. Make sure to […]

Marquise Brown Could Be First Receiver Off The Board

Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown is in the mix to be the first receiver selected in next week's draft, and his draft stock hasn't been hurt by a Lisfranc foot injury that kept him from performing at the combine. D.K. Metcalf, another player viewed as a first-round talent, is no longer a lock to be […]

Ryan O'Hearn, Lucas Duda Out Versus Lefty

Kansas City Royals first basemen Ryan O'Hearn and Lucas Duda are both out of the lineup against Yankees left-handed starter CC Sabathia on Friday. Whit Merrifield is at first base and is hitting leadoff, while Jorge Soler is the designated hitter and is batting sixth. Chris Owings is at second base and batting seventh, while […]

Mike Zunino Placed On Paternity List

The Tampa Bay Rays placed catcher Mike Zunino on the paternity list on Friday and called up catcher Nick Ciuffo from the minors in a corresponding move. He will miss around one to three games as a result. Zunino has never hit for average (.196), but he also hasn't gone deep yet this year in […]

Braves-Indians Postponed Friday

The game between the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians on Friday has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday. Touki Toussaint was scheduled to start for the Braves against Cleveland ace Corey Kluber. Make sure you get any players you may have from […]

Brad Keller Suspended Five Games

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller has been suspended five games for throwing at White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and inciting a benches-clearing incident on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the situation. Keller didn't take kindly to Anderson's dramatic bat flip after a home run and promptly plunked him his next time up. […]

Tim Anderson Suspended For Benches-Clearing Incident

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has been suspended for one game because of the language he used during the benches-clearing affair against the Royals on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the situation. Expect Anderson to appeal the suspension. Wednesday aside, Anderson has been one of the best hitters in baseball to begin the […]

Gio Gonzalez May Opt Out Of Contract

There is increasing sense that New York Yankees starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez will opt out of his contract on Saturday, according to sources. The Yankees would have 48 hours to add him to the big league roster. If they don't he'll become a free agent. There is less of a need for Gonzalez in New […]

Eduardo Nunez To Injured List, Michael Chavis Coming Up

The Boston Red Sox placed infielder Eduardo Nunez on the 10-day injured list with a mid-back strain on Friday and called up infielders Tzu-Wei Lin and Michael Chavis from Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move. Boston also designated pitcher Erasmo Ramirez for assignment. Boston is in dire straights with all three of their second base […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Won't Be Called Up This Weekend

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the top prospect in baseball, will not be called up to make his major league debut this weekend, so the earliest he'd be promoted to Toronto would be at some point during next week's homestand. He's hitting .412/.500/.824 with two home runs and six RBI in five […]

Yankees Signing Logan Morrison

The New York Yankees are signing free-agent first baseman Logan Morrison to a minor league deal on Friday. The Yankees want some first base depth while Greg Bird (foot) recovers from a plantar fascia tear. Morrison, 31, had a career-high 38 home runs in 2017 with the Rays, but he was an extreme disappointment in […]

Jordan Lasley Worked Out With Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jordan Lasley spent the offseason training with quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson's quarterbacks coach, Josh Harris, had nothing but good things to say about Lasley. The 22-year-old wasn't active for a single game in his rookie season, but with Baltimore's receiver depth chart barren as it stands right now, he'll have plenty […]

Lonnie Chisenhall To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (finger) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. He hasn't played yet this year due to a right index finger fracture. Chisenhall has been plagued by injuries the last few years but should see a decent amount of at-bats in Pittsburgh against right-handed pitchers when […]

Jon Lester To Throw Sim Game Soon

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester (hamstring) is progressing and will throw a simulated game soon. Lester looked good in his three starts before his injury, posting a 2.57 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 in 14 innings, so his fantasy owners are hoping he will return soon. Tyler Chatwood will make a spot start […]

Tyler Chatwood To Start Sunday, Jose Quintana Pushed Back

Chicago Cubs pitcher Tyler Chatwood will make the start against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, while starter Jose Quintana will be pushed back to Tuesday against the Dodgers. Arizona has struggled against right-handers so far this year, so the Cubs would prefer to unleash Chatwood against them. He's allowed four runs in six innings while walking […]

Ben Zobrist Taking Day Off Friday

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Daniel Descalso will start at second base and hit leadoff against Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly. Kris Bryant is in right field and is hitting second, while David Bote is at third base and batting seventh. Descalso has mostly been a utility […]

Giants Not Very Interested In Josh Rosen

The New York Giants don't appear to be very interested in trading for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen if the Cardinals select Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick. The Giants are currently focused on players in this year's draft class, including a group of quarterbacks they could select with the No. […]

Tyler Skaggs To Throw Off Mound This Weekend

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (ankle) is expected to throw off a mound this weekend, according to manager Brad Ausmus. The left-hander was long tossing this week, so he's making progress towards a return from the injured list and could be back in the rotation next week if all goes well. The 27-year-old […]

Shohei Ohtani To Take BP Friday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) will take batting practice with his teammates for the first time on Friday. Ohtani continues to check off boxes as he attempts to make his season debut as the team's regular DH sometime in early May. The 24-year-old won't pitch at all in 2019 after having Tommy […]

Mike Trout Expected To Return To Outfield On Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (groin) is expected to play center field on Friday, according to manager Brad Ausmus. Trout missed some games last week after tweaking his groin last Tuesday and hasn't returned to the field since as a precaution. The 27-year-old phenom should be back patrolling the outfield this weekend, however. He's […]

Kareem Jackson Seeing Time At Safety

Denver Broncos cornerback Kareem Jackson has seen most of his time at voluntary workouts this week at safety. "For the reason that there’s more to learn at safety than there is at corner," said Broncos head coach Vic Fangio. "He’s played much more corner in his career, so I wanted him to get more work […]

Kalen Ballage Fighting For Work In 2019

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage, second on the depth chart behind Kenyan Drake, has an opportunity for a much bigger role in 2019. He said he "absolutely" is trying to grab the starting job and "it doesn't really matter who had the most playing time in the past. I'm ready to do my thing." […]

Dustin Pedroia Officially Lands On Injured List

Updating previous reports, the Boston Red Sox placed second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) on the injured list on Thursday. Reliever Marcus Walden was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move. It's unclear how much time Pedroia will miss, but fantasy owners in AL-only leagues shouldn't expect him to be back anytime soon. The […]

Miguel Andujar Could Move To First Base

The New York Yankees are experimenting with the idea of using third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) at first base or designated hitter as he recovers from a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Manager Aaron Boone said that Andujar is making progress in his rehab, but said "we're having conversations" about a position change. Andujar […]

Dustin Pedroia Likely To Land On Injured List

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) appears likely to land on the injured list with more knee issues. However, the good news is that he avoided a serious injury on Wednesday after being examined by doctors in New York. The expectation is that he will return sooner than later, but fantasy owners shouldn't […]

Wil Myers Riding Pine Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Hunter Renfroe draws the start in left field and will hit fifth against Reds starting pitcher Tanner Roark. Renfroe doesn't hit for much average (.234), but he has elite power and four of his 11 hits this season have cleared the […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu To Start Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) will come off the injured list to start on Saturday against the Brewers, pushing Clayton Kershaw back to Sunday. Ryu's groin injury wasn't serious, so he did not need a rehab start at all. The 32-year-old left-hander was excellent last year when he was healthy and is […]

Julio Urias Moving To 'Pen After Thursday Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias will move to the bullpen after his start against the Brewers on Thursday. The Dodgers are limiting the 22-year-old's innings after he missed the majority of last season following left shoulder surgery. The left-hander has talent but also entered Thursday's outing with a 5.27 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and […]

Rich Hill To Make Another Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) will likely make another rehab start on Monday, but it hasn't been determined for what affiliate. Hill threw four scoreless innings for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday and looked good, so he'll likely be ready to rejoin the Dodgers rotation unless the wheels fall off on Monday. […]

Jay Bruce Not Playing Against Angels

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Although he has eight home runs and 14 RBI on the year, Bruce is hitting just .164 (11-for-67) and has one hit in his last 18 at-bats. Edwin Encarnacion is at first base and is hitting cleanup, while Daniel Vogelbach is […]
