Garrett Whitlock Resumes Throwing

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) played catch on Monday and is feeling great. The last report we had on Whitlock was that he hadn't resumed throwing since landing on the injured list on the Fourth of July, so this news is much more encouraging. The 27-year-old isn't coming back anytime soon, but hopefully […]

The Atlanta Braves signed catcher Travis d'Arnaud to a one-year, $8 million deal for the 2024 season, and it includes an $8 million club option for the 2025 season with no buyout. Now that young backstop Sean Murphy is in Atlanta, d'Arnaud, 34, hasn't been playing as much in 2023. However, he's still been plenty […]

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hamstring) remains out of action on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Freddy Fermin will do the catching again for the Royals and will bat sixth against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal.

Jarrad Davis' Season Is Over

The New York Giants placed linebacker Jarrad Davis (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ending his 2023 season before it even started. It's a tough break for Davis, who injured his knee during organized team activities this spring.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Thursday, according to manager Oliver Marmol.

Randal Grichuk Out With Groin Injury

Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk (groin) ran the bases on Tuesday and is getting healthier, but he's not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. Grichuk has only played in one game so far in the second half of the season due to his groin injury, but he should be considered day-to-day […]

Framber Valdez Up In The Air To Start Friday

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that the team isn't sure yet if left-hander Framber Valdez (calf) will be able to make his next scheduled start on Friday against the Oakland Athletics. Left-calf cramping caused Valdez to be pulled from his last start early on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels, and apparently he's not […]

Brandon Woodruff To Make First Rehab Start Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will make his first minor-league rehab start on Saturday for High-A Wisconsin on the road. Out since the middle of April with a right-shoulder injury, fantasy managers should be getting Woodruff back from the injured list soon, although it probably won't be until August given his long layoff. The […]

Hyun Jin Ryu To Make Another Rehab Start Friday

Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu (elbow) will make another minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday night, according to manager John Schneider. The plan is for Ryu to throw at least 80 pitches in the outing, and there's "not much more to check off" after that. As long as he avoids any […]

Byron Buxton Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is taking a mental break from baseball on Tuesday with the team facing the Seattle Mariners. With Buxton starting on the bench, Matt Wallner will serve as the designated hitter and will bat fifth in the order against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo. It's a good time for Buxton to take […]

Jeremy Pena Good To Go To Return To Lineup

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is good to go to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jake Bird. Pena suffered from cramping in his hamstring on Saturday and didn't play on Sunday, but he's back in there for fantasy managers after the […]

Eddie Rosario Remains On The Bench

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) continues to sit out on Tuesday as the team takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

With Rosario still out, Sam Hilliard will get the start in left field and will […]

Eloy Jimenez Still Out Against Mets

As expected, Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the New York Mets.

Jordan Romano Available On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (back) said he would be available out of the bullpen on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres, if needed.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Back For Padres

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (ankle) is back in right field and is hitting second in the batting order on Tuesday against right-hander Alek Manoah and the Toronto Blue Jays. Tatis twisted his ankle in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies and didn't start on Sunday, although […]

Logan Allen Called Up To Start Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians rookie left-hander Logan Allen has been called up from Triple-A Columbus to make the start on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Indians rotation is really struggling due to injuries to Shane Bieber, Cal Quantrill and Triston McKenzie, so Allen will return from the minors to enter the starting rotation for Cleveland. The […]

Cedric Mullins Remains Absent For Orioles

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (quadriceps) will miss another game on Tuesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Aaron Hicks will make another start in center field and bat sixth for the O's against Dodgers right-hander Michael Grove.

Bryce Harper Still In DH Role

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup for the Phils on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Julio Teheran.

Edmundo Sosa Remains Out Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (leg) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Corbin Carroll Cooling Off In July

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll remains one of the most dynamic fantasy players in the game in just his second major-league season with Arizona, but he's cooled off a bit so far at the plate in the month of July. Carroll has gone hitless in his last two games and in three of his last […]

Jose Ramirez Hits Two Doubles Monday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored on Monday in the team's 11-0 shutout win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of the series. Ramirez hasn't hit all that well so far in the month of July, though, as Monday's two-hit game was […]

Cionel Perez Activated From Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles reinstated left-hander Cionel Perez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned left-hander Nick Vespi to the minors in a corresponding move.
