Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 4-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (groin) was a last-minute scratch from his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday due to left adductor tightness. The team went on to send out Nabil Crismatt to start the game. Snell dealt with left adductor tightness late last season as well, so it's certainly concerning to […]

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the New York Mets.

Jose Quijada Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jose Quijada (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This move is retroactive April 8, so hopefully Quijada won't miss significant time.

Patrick Wisdom Is Out Of The Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom is not in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The former first round pick has been off to a slow start with one hit in his nine plate appearances this season. The Cubs will give him the day off to rest and recover. Jonathan […]

Yan Gomes Starts Behind The Plate On Sunday

Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs have decided to give Willson Contreras the day off.

Luke Weaver Lands On Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This move is retroactive to April 8, so it's unclear how long Weaver is going to be sidelined.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Bradley Zimmer has been activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Minor (shoulder) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment in Double-A on Wednesday.

The former All-Star has struggled in each of the last two seasons. […]

Jose Altuve Resting On Sunday

Houston Astros infielder Jose Altuve (rest) will get the day off on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this is a routine day off for the veteran infielder. Aledmys Diaz will cover second base and bat fifth versus lefty Jose Suarez. Normally, Diaz isn't much of a fantasy […]

Heliot Ramos Recalled, Starting On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos has been recalled on Sunday. The 22-year-old outfielder will take the place of right-hander John Brebbia who has been placed on the bereavement list.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Sunday that they have signed right-hander Garrett Whitlock to an undisclosed four-year contract extension for the 2023-26 seasons. The extension includes team options for 2027 and 2028. Whitlock has the ability to throw multiple innings out of the bullpen or serve as a high-leverage arm for Boston, so he's […]

Andrew Chafin Throws Bullpen

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Andrew Chafin (groin) threw a light bullpen session on Saturday in Lakeland, Florida, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The bullpen session was the best that Chafin has had this spring, even before his groin injury landed him on the 10-day injured list. "Trending in the right direction," Hinch said. It's unclear […]

Mason Thompson Placed On Injured List

The Washington Nationals placed right-hander Mason Thompson (biceps) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right biceps strain and recalled reliever Hunter Harvey from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.

Miami Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera (biceps) will be placed on the injured list after he's been unable to continue to build up due to right biceps muscle fatigue, according to a source.
