Jacob deGrom Could Be Out "Another 2-3 Weeks"

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) could be "another 2-3 weeks" from returning from the injured list. deGrom continues to only do light throwing as he rehabs from a right forearm/elbow injury, and the Rangers certainly aren't going to rush the oft-injured 34-year-old right-hander back into action. There is […]

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (neck, shoulder) said he expects to miss a couple of days and pitch against the Washington Nationals in the next series this weekend.

Starling Marte Hitting Sixth On Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is starting in right field and is hitting sixth in the lineup against the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luke Weaver on Tuesday. Because he's slumping, Marte will be bumped down to sixth on Tuesday. The 34-year-old veteran Dominican will take a hit in DFS with the move, but fantasy […]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers is making the start in right field and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Tuesday against right-hander Zach Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays.

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics.

Travis d'Arnaud Getting A Day Off Tuesday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud, who returned from the concussion injured list on Monday, is getting a breather on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox.

Jacob deGrom Has No Timeline For Mound Work

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) continues to be limited to playing light catch, and there's no timetable for when he will be cleared to throw off a mound. deGrom's rehab from a right-elbow injury is going to take some time, so fantasy managers won't be getting the 34-year-old right-hander back from the injured […]

Rangers Put Travis Jankowski On 10-Day Injured List

The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Travis Jankowski (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 8) on Tuesday with a right-hamstring strain and recalled catcher Sam Huff from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (shoulder) is uncertain to make his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds, and the team has called up left-hander David Peterson to be on standby as a potential replacement.

Trayveon Williams Could Have Key Role In 2023

During post-draft press conferences, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan repeatedly brought up running back Trayveon Williams when asked about Samaje Perine's replacement this year.

Brent Rooker Continues To Get On Base

Strong Chance Giants Call Up Casey Schmitt

There is a strong chance that the San Francisco Giants call up infield prospect Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to sources.
