Anthony Rizzo Is Heating Up

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went yard for his 10th home run of the season on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rizzo has heated up lately and finished the game 2-for-3. The first baseman is getting hot at the right time for both the Cubs and fantasy managers and he is now hitting .220 […]

Travis Shaw Dealing With Back Spasms

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Travis Shaw was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to back spasms. In his absence, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. filled in at first base while Randal Grichuk served as the designated hitter. Shaw is being treated as day-to-day, but he is not a sizable loss for fantasy managers either way. […]

Reynaldo Lopez Throws Well On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez put together another good outing on Tuesday versus the Indians. Lopez has really responded since being recalled from the teams alternative site, after a rough start to his season.

Oneil Cruz's Career In Jeopardy Following Car Crash

Pittsburgh Pirates infield prospect Oneil Cruz may be facing a lengthy jail sentence following a tragic car crash in the Dominican Republic on Tuesday.

Chadwick Tromp Placed On Injured List

San Francisco Giants catcher Chadwick Tromp (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday afternoon.

Miami Marlins infielder Sean Rodriguez has passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment on Sunday.

Rodriguez has no fantasy […]

Justin Turner Dealing With Hamstring Discomfort

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is reportedly dealing with hamstring discomfort, according to manager Dave Roberts. Turner was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup.

Mike Yastrzemski Still Out Of Lineup Tuesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old has not appeared in a game since suffering the injury on Sept. 17. It is an unfortunate ailment, as Yastrzemski was enjoying a stellar campaign. He owns a .285/.390/.553 slash line to go […]

Luis Arraez Rolls Ankle At Alternate Training Site

Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez (knee) rolled his ankle during a rundown on Monday at the team's alternate training site. The Twins are calling the ailment a mild ankle sprain.

Alex Dickerson Sidelined On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Mike Clevinger Scheduled To Start Wednesday

San Diego Padres starter Mike Clevinger (biceps) is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

It's unknown just how long he'll […]

Andrelton Simmons Opting Out Of 2020 Season

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons has opted out of the remainder of the 2020 season due to concerns about COVID-19.

Paul DeJong Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

The 25-year-old […]

George Springer Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer is starting in center field and batting leadoff against Ljay Newsome and the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. Springer did not play on Monday due to rest reasons. The 31-year-old is enjoying a productive campaign, slashing .253/.345/.529 with 13 homers, 28 RBI, and 35 runs scored. He is a worthwhile […]

Justin Turner A Late Scratch On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was a late scratch from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics. No reason has been given for the absence, but Turner came off of the injured list with a hamstring issue on Sept. 15. In his absence, Edwin Rios will start at third base and bat ninth […]
