Kenta Maeda To Start On Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (triceps) will take the mound versus the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since late April due to a right triceps strain. Before that, Maeda made four starts and didn't look good at all. That being said, fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach […]

Corey Kluber Lands On 15-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. This comes a day after Kluber was crushed in a three-inning out versus the Minnesota Twins. The 37-year-old was recently demoted to the bullpen after a horrendous beginning to the season. Hopefully, some time off will help […]

Chris Taylor To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 32-year-old was injured during Friday's game while running the bases. He will now miss his fourth game in a row because of the issue. It's the same knee that required a cortisone injection […]

Gio Urshela Likely To Miss Rest Of Season

Los Angeles Angels infielder Gio Urshela (pelvis) is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to manager Phil Nevin. The veteran infielder landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a left pelvis fracture. The good news is, Urshela won't need surgery, but he isn't expected to be able to play […]

Brusdar Graterol To Serve As Opener

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is an interesting decision as Graterol will face the top of the order in what will likely be a one inning appearance. After that, it's assumed that Michael Grove will handle the bulk of […]

Hunter Harvey Tosses Scoreless Ninth

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Hunter Harvey was asked to take the ball with a three-run lead versus the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Normally, Kyle Finnegan is the closer, but he was asked to pitch out of a jam in the seventh inning. Harvey didn't have many issues allowing only one hit in his scoreless […]

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run, and an RBI in a 7-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Bobby Witt Jr. Doubles In Loss Wednesday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a double in a 9-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Witt and the rest of the Kansas City offense had a quiet afternoon in the loss to their AL Central rivals. The double was Witt's 11th of the season as the young budding […]

Kevin Gausman Picks Up The Win On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman earned the win on Wednesday when he allowed three runs on eight hits with six strikeouts and one walk over six innings in a 6-3 victory over the Miami Marlins. Gausman wasn't at his best in this one but he did enough to secure the win for Toronto. […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Continues To Struggle

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 0-for-4 in a 6-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. It's been a tough go lately for Guerrero Jr., who is just 2-for-16 over his last four games. Three of his four outs in this one were groundouts, two of which had sub-80 mph exit […]

Jonathan Aranda - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jonathan Aranda, 2B/3B, Tampa Bay Rays ANALYSIS: Originally signed by the Rays in 2015 out of Mexico, Aranda made his major league debut last season and many expected him to compete for a roster spot out of spring training, but impressive performances and surprising health from competitors for the infield positions that Aranda plays […]

Taj Bradley Sharp In Win Over The Orioles

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley earned the win on Wednesday when he allowed one run on three hits with eight strikeouts over six innings in a 7-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Bradley didn't issue a free pass in this one, either, as the Orioles had no answer for him. The only blemish […]

Michael Grove Called Up To Start Wednesday

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled right-hander Michael Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday and placed right-hander Shelby Miller (neck) on the injured list in a corresponding move due to neck pain. Grove will make the start on Wednesday against the crosstown Los Angeles Angels. Not many fantasy managers will be brave enough to stream […]

Carlos Rodon To Make His Next Rehab Start Sunday

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, forearm) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Sunday for Double-A Somerset. Rodon is encouraged with how he's feeling on Wednesday after making his first rehab start for Somerset on Tuesday night.

Jordan Walker Dealing With Illness

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jordan Walker (illness) is dealing with a bit of an illness, according to manager Oliver Marmol, which is why he wasn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. And with the Cardinals not playing again until Saturday in London against the division-rival Chicago Cubs, there's a […]

Tim Anderson Still Not Playing

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) remains out for the White Sox on Wednesday against the visiting Texas Rangers. Anderson will be missing his fourth straight game, although he did appear as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should continue to consider Anderson day-to-day. In his absence on Wednesday, Elvis Andrus will again man […]

Michael Taylor Returns To Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Michael Taylor (head) is back patrolling center field and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Wednesday against the visiting Boston Red Sox and right-hander Garrett Whitlock. Taylor missed the last two games after being hit in the head by a pitch, but he managed to avoid a concussion and will […]

Yankees Resting Giancarlo Stanton Against Mariners

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will not start on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners. It's a good time for Stanton to take a day off, as he's gone hitless with seven strikeouts in 11 at-bats in his last three games. The 33-year-old All-Star slugger has six home runs in only 26 games […]

Brent Rooker Sitting Against Guardians

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker will take a seat on the bench on Wednesday as the team faces the Cleveland Guardians. Rooker has been a nice story for the last-place A's this year, but he's fallen on hard times of late and has gone 11-for-51 (.216) with two home runs, six RBI, three doubles and […]

J.P. Crawford Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (shoulder) is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the New York Yankees. It's not a surprise after he was forced from Tuesday's game early due to a right-shoulder contusion. However, the good news is the 28-year-old's X-rays came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day and could return […]

Derek Bernard - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Derek Bernard, 2B, Colorado Rockies ANALYSIS: Signed for $185,000 out of the Dominican Republic last season, Bernard was one of the youngest signees in the 2022 class. Bernard was a surprising reassignment to the DSL this year after putting up strong stats, with a .308/.377/.439 slash line and four homers and 11 steals in […]

Paul Blackburn Looking To Maintain Consistency Wednesday

Oakland A's pitcher Paul Blackburn will look to keep up his solid work in a small sample this season on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander has made just four starts this season but has worked to a 3.48 ERA/3.84 SIERA along with a career-best 18.7% K-BB% across 20 2/3 innings of work. The […]

Sean Murphy Remains Out On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (hamstring) remains out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Phillies as he deals with a hamstring injury.

[…]

When Will Aaron Judge Return From Injury? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

New York Yankees megastar Aaron Judge has been out for nearly three weeks with a sprained right toe. In his absence, the Yankees have struggled with just five wins in 13 games since he sprained his toe on June 3. Significant swelling in his right toe has hampered his recovery and set back any projected […]

Victor Robles Lands On The Injured List

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with back spasms in his lumbar spine. Fellow outfielder Derek Hill has had his contract selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Derek Hill Making Season Debut Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Derek Hill is playing his first big-league game of the season Wednesday as he takes on the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas. A 2014 first-round pick of the Tigers, Hill has been unable to put it together at the MLB level with a .240 average alongside four homers, nine steals, […]

Colt Keith - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Colt Keith, 3B, Detroit Tigers ANALYSIS: In the shortened 2020 draft, a number of quality high school players made it to college that normally would have been drafted in the 6th through 15th rounds of the draft. Keith looked to be headed in that direction until the Tigers plucked him with their fifth-round pick. […]

Miguel Cabrera Getting A Breather Against Royals

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera will get the day off on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals in the series finale. The future Hall of Famer started seven of the team's last eight games and will take a regular day of rest in what is his final MLB season. The 40-year-old isn't of any […]

Bryan Reynolds Out Again Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday for the second straight day against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Reynolds is dealing with a tight lower back, although the Pirates aren't too worried right now that he'll need to go on the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider the 28-year-old […]
