Ketel Marte Back In Action For Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) is back at second base and is batting leadoff on Monday against the New York Mets and left-hander Jose Quintana.

CJ Abrams Returns To Monday's Lineup

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Monday, playing shortstop and batting leadoff against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Andre Jackson. Abrams injured his knee on Saturday but missed just one game, so fantasy managers should be returning him to their starting lineups everywhere to begin the week. The […]

Tyler O'Neill Not Playing Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles on the road. O'Neill continues to manage a knee injury, so the Cardinals have been giving him regular rest of late. On top of injuries, the 28-year-old Canadian has disappointed in 2023, hitting .242 (54-for-223) with […]

Sean Manaea To Start On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants left-hander Sean Manaea will serve as the starter for a matchup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. It will be Manaea's seventh start of the year but just his first since May 10. Since then, the 31-year-old southpaw has been serving as a long man out of the bullpen, so he's not […]

The Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned rookie outfielder Cade Marlowe to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Kelenic will make his return to Seattle after fracturing his left foot while kicking a water cooler in frustration in the middle of July. The 24-year-old post-hype […]

The New York Yankees officially placed outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 10) with a right UCL tear on Monday and selected the contract of outfielder Estevan Florial from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

Connor Phillips To Make Second Start Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Connor Phillips will draw the start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, according to the team. Wednesday would be rookie Andrew Abbott's fifth day, but the left-hander has thrown 153 total innings this year in the minors and majors, beating his previous career-high by 35 innings already. Abbott has also been […]

Brandon Williamson To Return Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds rookie left-hander Brandon Williamson (illness) will make his return to the starting rotation on Tuesday to face the Detroit Tigers after a bout with COVID.

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) is likely to miss all of the first half of the 2024 season after he was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow over the weekend that will require surgery.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee caught all three of his targets for 49 yards in the team's 30-13 blowout win over the Seahawks on the road in Seattle in Week 1 on Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua had an amazing performance in his NFL debut in Week 1 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on the road on Sunday, catching 10 of his 15 targets for 119 yards in the 30-13 blowout victory. Nacua's catches and targets were easily both team-highs, while his 119 yards […]

Xavier Hutchinson Catches First Career Pass

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson made his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and finished the 25-9 loss by catching his only target for a nine-yard gain.

Broncos Defense Holds Raiders To 17 Points, Does Little Else

The Denver Broncos defense was able to hold the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders to only 17 points in their Week 1 meeting on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to get the team a win to open the year, and they also did very little else to help fantasy managers. Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo put up […]

Wil Lutz Misses Field Goal And Extra Point

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz didn't endear himself to the Broncos faithful in his team debut in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. And in a game in which the Broncos lost by just one point by a score of 17-16, Lutz's missed field goal and missed extra point loomed […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Gets Off To Slow Start

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. didn't have the type of NFL debut he was hoping for in the 17-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, especially when you consider that teammate Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) didn't even play and tight end Greg Dulcich (leg) was injured early and never returned. Mims […]
