Corey Seager Not In Lineup Friday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (leg) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Seager is day-to-day with a right leg contusion after he fouled a ball off said leg in last night's game. The Rangers are likely to take extra caution with Seager, who has had his problems […]

Mets Looking Into J.D. Martinez And Christian Vazquez

The New York Mets have scouts attending the Boston Red Sox's Friday night affair against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Ken Rosenthal. They are mainly there to see Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez and catcher Christian Vazquez. The Mets have been involved in rumors circulating around Chicago Cubs relief pitcher David Robertson and catcher Willson […]

Luis Robert Scratched From Rehab Game

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) has been scratched from Triple-A Charlotte's lineup Friday with cold symptoms. The young star has been dealing with light-headedness and dizziness over the past few weeks and just began his rehab assignment on Thursday. He is still scheduled to play on Saturday, so hopefully this is just a […]

Tylor Megill To Pitch Out Of Bullpen

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill (shoulder) is likely to assume a bullpen role when he returns to the team. Megill has been dealing with a right shoulder strain that put him on the shelf back on June 17, and he hasn't yet started a rehab assignment. He isn't eligible to return until mid-August, […]

Justin Turner Back On The Bench Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This marks the seventh time in the Dodgers past eight games that Turner has missed due to an abdominal injury. Turner said that he is just playing it safe, so expect a return to […]

Trevor Rogers Put On Injured List With Back Spasms

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers (back) has been placed on the 15-day IL with lower back spasms, retroactive to July 26. This might be a good thing for Rogers, who has fallen on tough times this season and could use a break to reset and figure out what is going on. The injury could […]

Austin Meadows Hasn't Resumed Running, Won't Return In July

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (Achilles) has yet to resume running since being pulled from his rehab assignment on July 11. Meadows was put on the IL on June 17 with an Achilles injury, and after aggravating the injury he is likely to be out a while longer. Manager AJ Hinch said he will have […]

Aaron Ashby Signs Extension With Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed left-handed pitcher Aaron Ashby to a five-year contract extension worth $20.5 million. The contract also has two club options in 2028 and 2029, which could make the total value $46 million if all incentives are hit. This locks up a guy who has shown elite stuff at a very reasonable […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Will Begin Throwing Progression Soon

Detroit Tigers left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has been in touch with manager AJ Hinch and general manager Al Avila and plans to begin a throwing progression in hopes of rejoining the team in late August. It's been a strange situation with E-Rod and the Tigers, with an apparent lack of communication from the 29-year-old. The […]

Shohei Ohtani Unlikely To Be Traded

The Los Angeles Angels have no plans to trade starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani before the Aug. 2 trade deadline, according to Jon Morosi. Even with growing speculation over the past few weeks, this isn't all that surprising. The two-way superstar is a unicorn, and it's probably a good idea to keep those around when […]

Mike Trout Receives Cortisone Shot, Won't Return Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) will not be ready to return by Monday, the day he is eligible to return from the IL. Trout received a cortisone shot in his back a few days ago and won't be up to speed at the start of the new week. His timeline after that is […]

Byron Buxton Won't Play This Weekend

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right knee on Wednesday and will be unavailable this weekend. Buxton has been battling a knee injury all year, and this is likely a move that helps promote healing while giving the young star a chance to rest. When he's been on […]

Rafael Devers Placed On Injured List

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day IL Saturday after tweaking his right hamstring in Friday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The injuries keep piling up for the Red Sox, who are already without Trevor Story, J.D. Martinez, and Kike Hernandez this weekend. Devers, who has played at […]

JJ Bleday Called Up Saturday

The Miami Marlins promoted top prospect JJ Bleday to the MLB roster on Saturday. The 24-year-old outfielder is a former first-round draft pick and has been a top 100 prospect for three seasons since being drafted in 2019. Although he has fallen out of the MLB Pipeline top 100 mid-season rankings, he is still the […]

Tyler Stephenson Leaves Game Early Thursday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson left Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals early after taking a foul ball off the shoulder. He was unable to make a throw to first after fielding a swinging bunt grounder and was replaced by Michael Papierski immediately after. That's not good. Stephenson has already dealt with a fractured […]

Mets Acquire Daniel Vogelbach From Pirates

The New York Mets have acquired first baseman Daniel Vogelbach from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for rookie reliever Colin Holderman. Vogelbach is likely to primarily DH against right-handed pitching for the Mets, who have struggled to find someone to fill that spot. The burly lefty is only slashing .228/.338/.430 but has a .896 OPS […]

J.D. Martinez Scratched Due To Back Spasms

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) was scratched from the starting lineup Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays with back spasms. It should be noted that Martinez had a busy few days, flying to Los Angeles for the all-star game and then flying back to Boston for tonight's game. The Red Sox might just […]

Yasmani Grandal Returns Friday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (back) will return to the lineup Friday against the Cleveland Guardians, catching and batting fifth against right-hander Cal Quantrill. Grandal has been out since mid-June with back spasms but is ready to return after a two-week rehab stint. The 33-year-old was having a miserable year before the injury, slashing […]

Aaron Civale Has Ligament Sprain In Wrist

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Aaron Civale (wrist) has been diagnosed with a ligament sprain and inflammation in his right wrist. Civale left his start against the Chicago White Sox last Wednesday after just one inning and was put on the IL shortly after with the injury. The good news is that Civale is expected to […]

Mackenzie Gore To Pitch Out Of Bullpen

San Diego Padres left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore will open the second half of the season in the bullpen. With the Padres finally getting healthy, someone needed to be dropped from the rotation, and unfortunately the easy choice was Gore. After a fantastic first two months, the young lefty has struggled mightily in June and July. […]

Jack Suwinski, Michael Perez Optioned To Minors

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski and catcher Michael Perez were optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. Interestingly enough, both Suwinski and Perez had three-homer games in June, yet here they are less than a month later. Unfortunately, both have been unable to maintain success this season. Suwinski does have 14 homers, but it comes with […]

Jurickson Profar Returns Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar (concussion) will make his return to the lineup on Friday, playing left field and leading off against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Profar missed seven games after colliding with teammate C.J. Abrams on July 7th and sustaining a concussion. It is nice to see Profar back so quickly, as it was […]

Eloy Jimenez Unlikely To Play This Weekend

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) is doubtful to play this weekend against the Minnesota Twins, according to manager Tony La Russa. The young slugger left Wednesday's game with right leg tightness and said today that he felt the same pain he had during his rehab assignment that caused a setback. He was, however, […]

Mike Trout Remains Out Of Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) will not be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Trout was initially expected back today, but the lineup card says otherwise. It sounds like he is still dealing with upper back spasms, although he is once again listed on the lineup card and […]

Jose Altuve Held Out Of Lineup Friday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (leg) is not in the starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. Altuve was hit in the left leg in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels and was removed from the game shortly after. He is considered day-to-day for now, with Mauricio Dubon […]

Dakota Hudson Placed On Injured List Friday

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Dakota Hudson (neck) was placed on the 15-day IL Friday with a neck strain. Hudson sustained the injury in his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. The injury isn't expected to keep Hudson on the IL for long, but it should be noted that Steven Matz is likely […]

Juan Yepez Lands On Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right forearm strain. The severity of the injury is unknown currently, but an update should be available within a few days. After a solid first few months at the plate, Yepez has had a disastrous July, with […]

Ken Giles Placed On IL, Matt Brash Recalled

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Ken Giles (shoulder) has been put on the 15-day IL, and right-handed pitcher Matt Brash has been recalled to replace him. Giles felt something in his right shoulder after throwing a pitch in Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays and was immediately taken out of the game. It's a tough […]

Christian Bethancourt Traded To Tampa Bay

The Oakland Athletics have traded catcher/first baseman Christian Bethancourt to the Tampa Bay Rays for two prospects, outfielder Cal Stevenson and pitcher Christian Fernandez. Bethancourt will provide an offensive upgrade for the Rays at catcher while providing some positional flexibility. He is likely to continue getting adequate playing time and is an option at catcher […]

Jeff McNeil To Go On Paternity Leave Monday

New York Mets second baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil will go on paternity leave after this weekend's series against the Miami Marlins. It is unfortunate timing for the Mets, who travel to Atlanta for an important 3 game set with the Braves starting Monday. For fantasy managers, it at least opens up the opportunity to get someone […]
