Die hard White Sox and Angels fan. I joined the Rotoballer family in January 2018, and I've been writing about baseball in one way or another since 2014. I spent the 2016 season as the beat writer covering the Ogden Raptors for the local newspaper, and from 2018-2020 I was the social media manager and team photographer for the Bristol Pirates (RIP Appalachian League).

Three Phillies Placed On COVID-19 IL Friday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin, catcher Andrew Knapp and utility player Luke Williams (COVID-19) were placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Friday after receiving positive tests, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. Zolecki adds that these are breakout cases, as all three players are fully vaccinated. Eflin had just been activated from the […]


Trevor Story Remains Out Of Lineup Friday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (leg) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday night. He exited the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader after aggravating a non-specific leg injury, and despite the off day on Thursday it appears the injury is still bothering him. Managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being, and in […]


Adam Frazier Not In Lineup Against Angels

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is not in the starting lineup for the second straight night on Friday. Frazier's absence comes as he has fallen ice cold at the plate, slashing .172/.213/.207 with one extra-base hit, one RBI and four runs scored over his last 16 games. Until he exhibits a significant turnaround […]


Wil Myers Not In Lineup Friday Against Angels

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Friday night. It's the second straight game that Myers is out after he exited Wednesday's game in the ninth inning with an unspecified hamstring injury. Myers has been the hottest hitter for San Diego this month, slashing .295/.394/.475 with three homers, […]


Willy Adames Remains Out Of Lineup Friday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (quad) will miss his third straight game on Friday as he continues to deal with a quad injury. The issue first popped up over the weekend, and it caused him to exit Tuesday's game early. Adames has been on fire ever since joining Milwaukee, slashing .295/.379/.547 with 17 homers, four […]


Jose Altuve Not In Starting Lineup Friday Night

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is not in the starting lineup on Friday night. It looks to just be a night off for Altuve, who has started in all but 15 of the team's games this season. Altuve is slashing .274/.346/.479 with 25 homers, four steals, 67 RBI and 89 runs scored this year, […]


Tyler O'Neill On Track To Return Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Friday, according to Zachary Silver of MLB.com. Thursday marks the third straight game that O'Neill has missed while dealing with mid-back tightness, but Silver reports that he is now on track to return to action soon. This issue cropped up […]


Yu Darvish Starting Thursday Night

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (back) will be activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and will start against the Dodgers, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. It had been reported on Wednesday that he was expected to return in time for this outing, but now this news is […]


Brandon Belt Placed On Bereavement List

Updating an earlier report, San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt is not in the lineup on Thursday because he was placed on the bereavement list, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. To replace him on the active roster, the Giants have recalled catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A. Over eight games with the Giants this […]


Buster Posey Remains Out Of Lineup On Thursday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday. Posey has been dealing with right knee discomfort for the past few days, but it was reported on Wednesday that he was feeling better and should be able to return to action soon. Expect him to re-enter the lineup sometime […]


Brandon Belt Not In Starting Lineup Thursday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt is not in the starting lineup on Thursday night. This appears to just be a night off for Belt, who has started in seven straight games for San Francisco. In an injury-marred season, Belt has still managed to put up solid numbers with a .242 average, .896 OPS, […]


Carlos Santana Remains Out Of Lineup Thursday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Carlos Santana (hip) remains out of the lineup on Thursday. Santana exited Monday's game with a Grade 1 hip flexor strain, and has been held out of the lineup ever since. He's still being considered day-to-day for the time being, although the longer he's out the more likely it seems […]


Buster Posey Hopes To Return In A Day Or Two

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (knee) said he tested his knee on Wednesday and felt good, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. Shea adds that Posey said he believes he should be able to return to the lineup within a day or two. Posey had exited Tuesday's game with right knee […]


Chris Archer Expected To Make Next Start As Scheduled

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (hip) felt good after throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday, and expects to make his next scheduled start against the Orioles, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Archer had exited his last start on Sunday due to left hip tightness, which was the same issue […]


Brendan McKay Likely Done For Season

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Brendan McKay (elbow) is likely done for the season after suffering a flexor strain during his rehab assignment, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. McKay had been working his way back from shoulder surgery, and had recently joined Double-A Montgomery for a rehab assignment when he suffered this […]


Joe Kelly Activated From IL Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (COVID-19) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Kelly has been a decent option in SV/HLD formats this year, going 2-0 with seven holds, one save, a 3.34 ERA, 1.011 WHIP and 28 percent strikeout rate across […]


Dylan Bundy Placed On Injured List With Shoulder Strain

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Dylan Bundy (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right shoulder strain, the team announced on Twitter. Bundy had struggled in his outing on Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks with three strikeouts over 1 1/3 innings of work against the […]


Austin Warren Lands On Injured List Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Austin Warren was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, the team announced on Twitter. There was no injury designation for Warren, and it's unclear just how long he'll remain out. Since making his major league debut on July 29, he's been a solid option in deeper SV/HLD formats, going […]


Reid Detmers Placed On Injured List Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, the team announced on Twitter. There was no injury designation for his placement, which raises questions as to whether it could be illness or COVID-19 related. The rookie pitcher has made four starts with the Angels this year, going 1-3 […]


Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Starting At First Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo is in the lineup on Wednesday night, where he'll start at first base and bat fourth against Arizona. Tsutsugo has been on fire ever since signing with Pittsburgh, slashing .333/.333/.944 with three homers, four RBI and four runs scored over eight games. In deeper format and DFS, managers may […]


Carson Kelly Not In Lineup Wednesday Night

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday night. This looks to just be a night off for Kelly, who has started in eight of the team's last 12 games. He's had a nice year at the plate overall, slashing .255/.384/.418 with eight homers, 30 RBI and 31 runs scored […]

Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 22

It's hard to believe that we're getting so close to the end of the season. We've got five more weeks until the end of the regular season, and I swear it feels like it should still be early July. It's a shame though that we no longer see as large of a roster expansion in […]


Josh Palacios Recalled From Triple-A Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Josh Palacios was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. To make room for him on the roster, the Blue Jays optioned relief pitcher Kirby Snead to Triple-A. Palacios has appeared in 10 games with Toronto this year, slashing .250/.353/.250 with four RBI and seven […]


Nico Hoerner To Resume Baseball Activities This Week

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (oblique) will be reassessed when he resumes baseball activities later this week, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Hoerner exited a rehab game on Sunday with High-A South Bend as a precaution after he experienced tension in his oblique during an at-bat. He's been out since the end of […]


Akil Baddoo Activated From Injured List Monday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo (concussion) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday, the team announced on Twitter. Baddoo has been out of action since August 11, after suffering a concussion on a collision with Derek Hill in the outfield. He's been having a nice rookie season in 2021, slashing .267/.333/.467 with 10 […]


Matt Chapman Dealing With Foot Contusion

Updating an earlier report, Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (foot) was scratched from Monday's lineup due to a left foot contusion, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Gallegos reports that this issue could be related to Sunday's game, in which Chapman fouled a pitch off his foot. Managers should consider him day-to-day for now, […]


Kenta Maeda Lands On Injured List Monday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday due to right forearm tightness, the team announced on Twitter. Maeda suffered the injury in his last outing against the Yankees, as he was forced to exit in the fifth inning on Saturday. He's had a rough year on […]


Miguel Sano Activated From Paternity List

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano was activated from the paternity list on Monday, the team announced on Twitter. Sano had left the team on Thursday to be present for the birth of his daughter. Over 98 games this season, Sano is slashing .217/.308/.457 with 21 homers, 53 RBI and 51 runs scored. Managers should […]


Matt Chapman Scratched From Lineup Monday

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman has been scratched from the starting lineup on Monday night, according to Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News. There's no word yet as to why Chapman was scratched, as Josh Harrison will now enter the lineup at third base and bat sixth in the order for the series opener […]


Jason Heyward Not In Lineup Monday Night

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward is not in the starting lineup for Monday night's series opener with the Rockies. This looks to just be a night off for Heyward, who has started in six of the team's last seven games. Hopefully this will give Heyward a chance to reset at the plate, as he's been […]
