Josh Rojas Sent To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned infielder Josh Rojas to Triple-A Reno after Sunday's game. In a corresponding move, the D-backs recalled outfielder Alek Thomas from Reno.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. To Begin Rehab Assignment This Week

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (foot) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this week. That is great news, considering Chisholm has been sidelined since mid-May due to a turf toe issue. The organization didn't say which day he would return, but he's expected to begin game action this week. He'll likely need […]

Justin Turner Resting On Monday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Justin Turner is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Masataka Yoshida will function as the designated hitter, while Triston Casas covers first base versus […]

Alejandro Kirk Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. This doesn't come as a shock after Kirk was removed from Sunday's game due to a left hand laceration and contusion. The good news is, the X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he appears to have […]

Miguel Amaya Absent Versus Pirates

Chicago Cubs rookie catcher Miguel Amaya (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is a bit concerning after Amaya was hit by a pitch in the hand during Sunday's game. It's possible the Cubs are just giving Amaya an extra day to rest. Fantasy managers should stay […]

Tim Anderson Remains Out On Monday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Anderson will now miss his second game in a row after exiting early on Saturday due to shoulder soreness. The White Sox didn't place him on the injured list yet, so the assumption is that […]

Alek Thomas Recalled On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas has been recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday. He returns to the majors following a minor league stint after struggling with the D-Backs to open the season. Thomas slashed .195/.252/.327 with two homers and three steals during his first stint with the D-Backs. The 23-year-old went down to the minors […]

The Cincinnati Reds activated first baseman Joey Votto (biceps, shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Monday, and he will be making his season debut against the Colorado Rockies and left-hander Austin Gomber.

Tanner Banks To Serve As Opener Against Rangers

Chicago White Sox left-hander Tanner Banks will serve as the opener for the team on Monday against the Texas Rangers.

Javier Baez Sitting Out Monday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Kansas City Royals.

Robert Gasser Pitching Well At Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitching prospect Robert Gasser has been impressing at Triple-A Nashville of late, going 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA while walking four and striking out 27 in 26 innings over his last four starts on the farm. The recent good run of form has lowered Gasser's ERA on the year to 4.24, while […]

Royce Lewis, Max Kepler Absent From Monday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis and outfielder Max Kepler are both out of the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Boston Red Sox. Lewis is taking a day off after going 2-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored in the team's four-game series against the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. Lewis is hitting […]

Minnesota Twins outfielder Michael Taylor (head) is out of the starting lineup on Monday with the team facing the visiting Boston Red Sox.

The Los Angeles Angels placed third baseman Anthony Rendon (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a left-wrist contusion.

[…]

Lars Nootbaar Activated From Injured List

The St. Louis Cardinals activated outfielder Lars Nootbaar (back) from the injured list on Monday and optioned first baseman Luken Baker to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Cole Sands To Resume Throwing This Week

Minnesota Twins right-hander Cole Sands (shoulder) will resume throwing off a mound this week. Sands has been sidelined on the injured list since June 4 with a right-shoulder impingement, but he's beginning to make some progress towards a return to Minnesota's bullpen.

Brendan Rodgers Could Return In August

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder), who had surgery to fix the labrum in his non-throwing shoulder in spring training, did some running drills on Saturday and will begin hitting softer practice balls in the batting cage when the team reaches Cincinnati to finish their current road trip. There was doubt that Rodgers could return […]
