Andrew Heaney Feels Fine After Extended Spring Outing

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) threw 58 pitches over four innings in an extended spring training game on Wednesday and said he felt fine.

Orlando Arcia Picking It Up

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia started the year off slow but was hitting .290 (26-for-124) with three home runs and 10 RBI since the first 20 at-bats of his season entering Wednesday's game. He's mostly hit eighth in the lineup in 2019, however, which keeps his fantasy value somewhat capped. Arcia hit .236 with a […]

Chase Anderson To Start Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson (finger) will start against the Braves on Saturday when he comes off the injured list, according to manager Craig Counsell. He'll be taking the rotation spot of Freddy Peralta after he went four innings on Monday against the Phillies and allowed two runs with no walks and five strikeouts. […]

Martin Perez To Make Next Start On Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Martin Perez (foot) is listed as the starter on Friday against the Mariners after leaving his last start early due to a foot contusion from a line drive.

Alex Cobb To Begin Rehab Soon

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that starting pitcher Alex Cobb (back) will begin his rehab in Florida soon.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (elbow) will be out for at least another month after Dr. James Andrews saw him for a second opinion on his right arm on Monday.

Jurickson Profar, Robbie Grossman Struggling

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar and outfielder Robbie Grossman have been struggling this year, which means Chad Pinder and Mark Canha could see more opportunities. Pinder and Canha combined for 30 home runs, 34 doubles and 79 RBI in 663 at-bats in 2018. Profar had a career year last season in Texas, but he's […]

Gary Sanchez Evaluated For Concussion

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (head), who was hit on the head by a backswing from Guillermo Heredia on Saturday, underwent concussion tests and will see how he feels Sunday morning.

Brandon Belt Receives Good News

The MRI exam on San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) came back clean on Saturday, although he received the day off as a precaution. He'll likely be back in the lineup on Sunday. Make sure you check the lineup on Sunday before automatically throwing Belt back into your fantasy starting lineups this weekend. […]

Giants Option Dereck Rodriguez

The San Francisco Giants optioned starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Andrew Heaney Ready For Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) will make a rehab start for his next outing, according to manager Brad Ausmus.

Collin McHugh Moving To Bullpen, Corbin Martin To Join Rotation

Houston Astros starting pitcher Collin McHugh is being moved to the bullpen, and it's expected that Corbin Martin will be called up from the minors to make the start on Sunday against the Rangers. McHugh looked good to begin the year but has fared terribly since with a 12.00 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in his […]
