Tigers Activate Wily Peralta From The Injured List

The Detroit Tigers activated starting pitcher Wily Peralta (finger) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday.

The high FIP and low strikeout numbers mean Peralta is likely only a streaming option in deeper leagues for […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (COVID) was officially placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday.

Brandon Lowe On The Bench Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe isn't in the lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Boston Red Sox and left-handed starter Chris Sale.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows isn't starting on Wednesday. Tampa Bay will take on the Boston Red Sox and left-hander Chris Sale but will do so with one of their best hitters on the bench.

Ozzie Albies Out Of Braves Lineup On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) is not in the lineup on Wednesday for the finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old exited Tuesday's 3-2 loss to LA after taking a foul tip off of his left knee. Since x-rays on the knee came back negative, it's fair to consider him day-to-day at […]

Niko Goodrum Activated From Injured List

The Detroit Tigers activated infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is batting .224 with a .304 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 12 stolen bases so far this season.

Athletics Recall Khris Davis From Triple-A

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis was recalled by the A's and will be with the team for its game in Detroit on Wednesday.

The Chicago White Sox placed shortstop Tim Anderson (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hamstring on Wednesday. The move is retroactive to August 29.

Blake Snell No-Hits Snakes For Seven Frames

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell was pulled after seven no-hit innings Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-hander was brilliant with 10 strikeouts, but was lifted after 107 pitches and the Friars eventually lost the no-no courtesy of the bullpen. Aside from two walks, Snell was automatic with his slider clicking at a high […]

Zac Gallen Throws Quality Start In Loss

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen threw a quality start against the San Diego Padres Tuesday night, giving up three runs on five hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out four batters. Unfortunately, there was little run (or hit) support for him against Blake Snell, and he took the loss, dropping his […]

Yusei Kikuchi Throws Seven Scoreless Against Houston

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi got back on track in a major way Tuesday, throwing seven shutout innings against the Houston Astros. He allowed four hits and two walks and struck out four batters. This outing figures to be a relief for fantasy managers, as Kikuchi had given up 14 runs in 12 innings […]

Abraham Toro Delivers Dramatic Grand Slam

Seattle Mariners infielder Abraham Toro provided all four runs Tuesday's game had to offer on one swing, a grand slam off of Houston Astros relief pitcher Kendall Graveman in the eighth inning.
