Eduardo Escobar’s First Slump In June Continues Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar is suddenly slumping after Wednesday’s loss to the Chicago White Sox. One of the few bright spots on the Twins this season, Escobar went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Wednesday. He has now gone just 2-for-18 in the last seven days for a feeble batting average of just .111. With […]

Kyle Gibson Scuffles In Loss On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson was not at his best on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. His offense didn’t help him much, either, getting shut out by James Shields and the Sox bullpen until the ninth inning. In total, Gibson went seven innings, allowed 11 hits, five runs, and struck out seven. He […]

Luis Severino Will Indeed Start Sunday Against Red Sox

New York Yankees ace pitcher Luis Severino is expected to start against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. There were mutterings about him potentially getting an extra day of rest, but he is indeed slated to start against the Yankees' most hated rival, with the young flamethrower himself saying, "I want to face any team. […]

Adalberto Mejia To Start Against Cubs Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Adalberto Mejia is expected to be recalled from Triple-A and start against the Chicago Cubs on June 30. The young left-hander has a career 4.57 ERA and a 4-7 record in the majors, but with Fernando Romero being optioned the Twins needed another starter in the rotation. Major league struggles aside, […]

Eddie Rosario Batting Third, Robbie Grossman Back In Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is batting third on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox.

Logan Morrison Batting Cleanup, Jake Cave In Right Field

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Logan Morrison will bat fourth in the lineup on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox.

Aaron Hicks Leading Off, Brett Gardner Sitting Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will lead off for the Bombers on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Brett Gardner will sit but will be available off the bench.

Jake Cave Recalled, Ryan LaMarre Optioned

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday. The move comes in response to the team optioning outfielder Ryan LaMarre to Triple-A on June 24. LaMarre hasn't been terrible this season, hitting to the tune of a .263 average and a .634 OPS. That said, LaMarre has struggled against right-handed pitching […]

Austin Romine Starting, Greg Bird Back In On Monday

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine is in the starting lineup and will bat eighth on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Romine will have to assume starting catcher duties going forward, as Gary Sanchez (groin) has been placed on the disabled list. Romine has hit well in part-time work this season, so he's a safe […]

Clint Frazier Optioned To Triple-A

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier was demoted to Triple-A on Monday. Frazier's undoubtedly frustrating season continues with the move, which is probably not merit-based, since the outfielder has hit to a .350 batting average and a .908 OPS in just 20 at-bats. Unfortunately for Frazier, he has been a victim of circumstance all season, […]

Eddie Rosario Goes 2-For-4 In Win On Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario went 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Even though offense wasn’t exactly a requirement with the way Jose Berrios pitched on Sunday, Rosario added to his outstanding 2018 campaign, bringing his batting average in June to a lovely .349. He missed a […]

Miguel Andujar Rips Three-Run Home Run Sunday

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar clubbed a three-run home run on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The shot increased his home run total to 11, but the Yankees ended up losing in 12 innings regardless. Though Andujar stayed quiet for the remainder of the game, the rookie has been outstanding this season, […]

Aaron Judge Goes 0-For-5 Against Rays Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went hitless with a walk on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Considering the game went 12 innings, it’s surprising that one of the Yankees most talented, most powerful bats did virtually nothing. Fantasy owners were probably just happy he only struck out once. These are the kinds of […]

Chasen Shreve’s Struggles Continue In Late Loss

New York Yankees relief pitcher Chasen Shreve took his second loss on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-hander came into the game in the 12th inning only to see Rays rookie Jake Bauers hit a walk-off home run against him.

Jeimer Candelario And James McCann Both Sitting Monday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario and catcher James McCann are both sitting against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Utility man Niko Goodrum will bat second and take Candelario’s place at third base while Grayson Greiner will handle catching duties. Dixon Machado will bat ninth and play second base. Daily fantasy players shouldn’t consider any […]

Dustin Fowler Leading Off, Mark Canha Sitting Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Dustin Fowler is back in his leadoff spot on Monday against the Detroit Tigers. Fowler had the day off Sunday. Outfielder Mark Canha will sit on Monday, so while Fowler takes over at center field, Stephen Piscotty will play right field and Matt Joyce will man left. The A’s hitters will try […]

Amed Rosario To Get “Couple Days” Off In Favor of Jose Reyes

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario will sit at least a couple of games during the team's series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Gary Sanchez To Be Placed On Disabled List Monday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (hip/groin) will be placed on the disabled list on Monday. Kyle Higashioka is expected to take his place on the active roster and will provide depth behind Austin Romine. Sanchez sustained the injury while running to first base during Sunday’s marathon game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The extent […]

Jose Berrios Delivers Masterful Outing In Win Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios threw an absolute gem on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. The Twins won, 2-0, and the victory went hand-in-hand with the right-hander’s performance. In total, Berrios went seven innings, allowing just three hits and fanning a career-high 12 hitters. He stymied the Rangers all afternoon with a vicious curveball […]

Alan Busenitz Called Up, Fernando Romero Optioned To Triple-A

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Alan Busenitz was called up on Sunday. Busenitz sported a sterling 1.27 ERA during his time at Triple-A Rochester to go along with a fantastic 32/5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 28 1/3 innings. His promotion was announced in conjunction with starting pitcher Fernando Romero’s demotion to Rochester. Romero has struggled on his […]

Kyle Gibson Doomed By Lack Of Offense, Bullpen On Thursday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson took his fifth loss of the season Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander didn’t pitch badly at all, but he suffered under a lack of offense and lack of support from his bullpen. Gibson got into a bases-loaded jam in the top of the fifth inning after […]

Scott Schebler Placed On Bereavement List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler was placed on the bereavement list on Thursday following the passing of a family member. It was one of a flurry of roster moves the Reds made on the day.

Colby Rasmus Activated, Joey Rickard Sent Down To Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colby Rasmus (hip) has been reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Thursday. In a corresponding move, the team optioned outfielder Joey Rickard down to Triple-A Norfolk. They also transferred left-handed pitcher Richard Bleier (shoulder) to the 60-day DL. Rasmus should be avoided in most leagues for the time being. During his […]

Eduardo Escobar Diagnosed With Right Elbow Contusion

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar (elbow) has officially been diagnosed with a right elbow contusion. Escobar got hit with a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He stayed in the game until the bottom of the third, and was then ruled out in the […]

Michael Wacha Officially Goes On The Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha (oblique) has officially been placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday. The right-hander suffered the injury on June 20 against the Philadelphia Phillies. He reportedly couldn’t even breathe without feeling pain. The injury comes as a huge blow for the Cardinals and Wacha’s fantasy owners alike. Before the […]

Michael Kopech Has "Chance" Of Major League Debut In 2018

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Michael Kopech received a big vote of confidence on Thursday. The team’s player development director Chris Getz said, “We have a chance to see him [in Chicago in 2018]. He’s going to find his way to [the] big leagues. I'm very confident he's going to be a frontline-type starter.” Getz […]

Wil Myers Activated, Franmil Reyes Sent To Triple-A El Paso

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) will be activated from the disabled list on Thursday. In a corresponding move, outfielder Franmil Reyes will be optioned to Triple-A El Paso.

Eduardo Escobar Exits Thursday’s Game With Elbow Injury

Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar (elbow) had to leave Thursday’s game against the Boston Red Sox with an injury. Escobar took a pitch right on his right elbow in the first inning. He went down at home plate for a while but managed to remain in the game. He was ruled out for the rest […]

Alex Kirilloff Promoted To High-A Fort Myers

Minnesota Twins prospect Alex Kirilloff has been promoted. The youngster had been playing in Low-A Cedar Rapids after missing all of 2017 due to Tommy John surgery. His impressive slash line of .333/.391/.607 this season earned him the promotion to High-A Fort Myers. While the outfielder does not have any value in regular leagues right […]

Eddie Rosario Scratched From Lineup, Ryan LaMarre In

Updating a previous report, the Minnesota Twins will now be sitting outfielder Eddie Rosario (shoulder) against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. His day off is being attributed to soreness in his shoulder. In Rosario's place, Ryan LaMarre has been inserted into the lineup and will start in center field. Rosario's injury is considered minor, so […]
