Isiah Kiner-Falefa Resuming Baseball Activities

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) has been cleared to participate in baseball activities and is expected to begin running the bases later this weekend. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since the start of the month with a right hamstring strain. However, given his current progress, fantasy managers should not expect Kiner-Falefa to be sidelined […]


Ivan Herrera, Jordan Walker Not In Saturday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera and outfielder Jordan Walker are not in the starting lineup on Saturday when they continue a series against the Washington Nationals. Herrera returned from the injured list on Friday and went 1-for-4 with two RBI. However, he will get the day off, which will open a spot in the […]


Josh Bell Not Starting On Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell is not in the starting lineup on Saturday when they continue a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Bell was dealing with a groin injury earlier in the week. He was able to start on Friday but went 0-for-3 at the plate with a strikeout. As a result, James […]


National Recall Zach Brzykcy From Triple-A

The Washington Nationals have recalled right-handed pitching prospect Zach Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester. Brzykcy will replace Lucas Sims, who was released on Friday evening. The 25-year-old had a brief one-inning appearance in the majors earlier this season. Last summer, Brzykcy made his MLB debut but logged only five 2/3 innings of work. Across his first […]


Endy Rodriguez Playing Catch

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/catcher Endy Rodriguez (finger) has shed his cast and has been cleared to begin playing catch. Rodriguez has been recovering from a laceration on his right index finger since April. It appears the 24-year-old has progressed well and can begin ramping up his baseball activity. Through his first 15 games of the […]


Jake Fraley Could Be Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds could place outfielder Jake Fraley (calf) on the 10-day injured list. Fraley was held out of action earlier in the week but was slated to return to the lineup on Friday. However, the outfielder was a late scratch due to this lingering calf injury. Following the game, manager Terry Francona noted an […]


Max Clark Heating Up At High-A

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark went 3-for-5 with a home run during their contest on Friday against High-A Lansing. Over his last nine contests, Clark has been swinging a hot bat, holding a stellar .395/.439/.500 slash line. During this stretch, he has held a 2:3 K:BB with a double and a home run. Through […]


Thomas White Allows Two Hits In Latest Start

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Thomas White logged five shutout innings during his outing on Friday against High-A Cedar Rapids. In this start, White allowed just two hits and two walks. He struck out eight batters. The budding southpaw has enjoyed a solid start to the High-A campaign. Through his first 25 innings of work, […]


Matt Shaw Busy On Friday

Chicago Cubs third base prospect Matt Shaw went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI, and a stolen base during Friday's contest. The 23-year-old was able to crack the Opening Day roster but was optioned back to Triple-A after his slow start. During his first 18 games in the majors, Shaw held a modest […]


Nolan McLean Shines In Triple-A Debut

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Nolan McLean enjoyed an impressive outing in his Triple-A debut on Friday evening. Facing Triple-A Jacksonville, McLean struck out seven batters across seven shutout frames. He did not allow a walk. He allowed seven hits. The No. 5-ranked prospect in the system enjoyed a strong start to the season […]


Jonny Farmelo Goes Deep Twice On Friday

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Jonny Farmelo went 3-for-4 with a double and two home runs during Friday's contest against High-A Tri-City. During this outing, Farmelo tallied two RBI and drew a walk. The 20-year-old missed the opening weeks of the campaign while recovering from the torn ACL he suffered last season. Through his first seven […]


Jacob Misiorowski Strikes Out 11 On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed prospect Jacob Misiorowski struck out a season-best 11 batters during his outing against Triple-A Norfolk on Friday evening. In this outing, Misiorowski allowed just two hits and one free pass. He did not allow a run. Over his last 23 2/3 innings of work (four starts), Misiorowski has posted a near-perfect 0.38 […]


Tim Elko Set To Join MLB Roster On Saturday

The Chicago White Sox are expected to promote first baseman Tim Elko to the MLB roster prior to Saturday's contest against the Miami Marlins. Elko has yet to appear in an MLB contest. Through the early part of the 2025 campaign, the Ole Miss product has been swinging a hot bat at Triple-A Charlotte. Across […]


Connor Phillips Activated Off Triple-A Injured List

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitching prospect Connor Phillips (shoulder) has been activated off the 7-day injured list at Triple-A. Phillips was dealing with shoulder fatigue. He made three rehab appearances with High-A Dayton and allowed three hits with one run. He struck out six batters. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign and […]


Jose Miranda Returns From Triple-A Injured List

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (hand) was activated off the 7-day injured list at Triple-A prior to Friday's contest. Miranda has been sidelined for a few weeks due to a strained left hand. The 26-year-old opened the campaign in the major leagues but was optioned to Triple-A after a slow start. Through 12 games […]


Rhett Lowder Moving Rehab Assignment To High-A

Cincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect Rhett Lowder (forearm) is set to move his rehab assignment to High-A Dayton. Lowder is slated to start on Sunday. Lowder recently began his rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League and is now set to face tougher competition. During his lone start in the ACL, Lowder allowed two runs […]


Matthew Lugo Headed To Major Leagues

The Los Angeles Angels are promoting outfield prospect Matthew Lugo to the major leagues. In a corresponding move, the Angels have placed outfielder Gustavo Campero (ankle) on the 10-day injured list. Lugo was in contention to make the Opening Day roster but fell just short in the competition. However, the former second-round pick has earned […]


Chase Meidroth Scratched On Friday

Chicago White Sox infield prospect Chase Meidroth was a late scratch on Friday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status, as the team did not provide a reason for why he was removed from the starting nine. The prospect has already had an early-season stint on the injured list due to a thumb […]


Caleb Thielbar Placed On Paternity List

The Chicago Cubs have placed right-handed pitcher Caleb Thielbar (paternity) on the paternity list. In a corresponding move, the Cubs have recalled Tom Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa.

Tyler O'Neill Returns From 10-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles have activated outfielder Tyler O'Neill (neck) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels.

Enmanuel Valdez Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed infielder Enmanuel Valdez (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation. The team did not specify when the 26-year-old suffered this injury.

Alex Cobb Looks Uncomfortable During Bullpen Session

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Alex Cobb (hip) looked uncomfortable when covering first base on a groundball, according to Chris McCosky. Cobb is working his way back from hip surgery and appeared to be in pain during his most recent bullpen session. McCosky noted that the 37-year-old looked fine on the mound but not so much […]


Erik Swanson Sent To FCL To Start Rehab Assignment

The Toronto Blue Jays have sent relief pitcher Erik Swanson (forearm) to the Florida Complex League to begin his rehab assignment. The 31-year-old has been dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome in his right forearm. Swanson was initially expected to begin his rehab assignment in April but faced numerous setbacks. However, it appears the high-leverage reliever […]


Connor Seabold Promoted To Major Leagues

The Tampa Bay Rays are promoting right-handed pitcher Connor Seabold from Triple-A Durham. In a corresponding move, the Rays are sending right-handed pitcher Mason Englert to Triple-A. Seabold has not returned to the MLB since his 2023 stint with the Colorado Rockies. Earlier this season, Seabold has logged 27 2/3 innings of work with the […]
