Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine day off for Laureano, who collected two hits during Monday's contest. Mark Canha will cover center field and bat cleanup versus righty Jorge Lopez. Canha has been pretty average […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. He will make his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels. He's been sidelined all season due to lat and shoulder injuries. He's someone worth looking at as a streaming option, but could be limited in his […]

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Bell has not played since September 13 due to a groin issue. The Pirates are going to give him as much time as he needs to recover since they aren't playing for anything. Jose Osuna […]

Jakob Junis To Be Shut Down

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis looks to be done for 2019. Manager Ned Yost told reporters on Monday that the 27-year-old pitcher is starting to fatigue, so he's making a lot of mistakes. Junis is tied for the American League lead in starts made this season at 31. It's been a long season […]

Ian Kennedy Records 30th Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy did it. He reached the 30-save plateau in his first season as the team's closer, and he once again reminded all fantasy owners to never pay for saves and don't ignore closers on bad teams. Kennedy has now recorded saves in five straight appearances while allowing a total […]

Alex Gordon Knocks In Two In Win

Kansas City Royals veteran outfielder Alex Gordon smacked a two-run single in the top of the fifth inning on Monday to tie the game and help the team eventually take the win.

Adalberto Mondesi Hits 10th Triple

Kansas City Royals speedster Adalberto Mondesi may have missed a month of the season with a separated shoulder, but that hasn't stopped him from achieving one speed-based milestone for the organization. Mondesi smacked his 10th triple of the season on Monday night, becoming the first Royals player with double-digit triples in 16 years. The feat […]

Jorge Soler Drills 45th Homer, Ties AL Lead

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez collected his 20th save of the season on Monday, getting the last out of the game by throwing just two pitches. Martinez has been solid in his first go around as a closer, posting the 20 saves and an even 3.00 ERA. He should be a solid contributor in […]

Dakota Hudson Throws Seven Strong Innings on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson threw seven great innings on Monday, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks.
