Tyler Naquin is in the Lineup Wednesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Naquin was activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He missed roughly a month due to a knee issue. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat ninth against lefty Martin Perez on Wednesday. Naquin should be […]

C.J. Cron is Back on Wednesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. The slugging first baseman was given the day off to rest on Tuesday. He'll bat fifth and play first base versus righty Tyler Clippard on Wednesday. Cron has been surprisingly solid with the bat this season, so […]

Harold Castro Starting at Second Base on Wednesday

Detroit Tigers infielder Harold Castro will be given the start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. He was recalled on Tuesday with Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) hitting the injured list. He'll likely play a utility role with Detroit, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll see. Castro will play second base and bat sixth […]

Wade Davis Throws BP Wednesday

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis (oblique) had a positive round of live batting practice on Wednesday and his return to the Rockies is getting closer. The 33-year-old might need some rehab outings before he's activated from the injured list, but Davis shouldn't be out much longer. He had a 2.45 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, seven saves […]

Teoscar Hernandez to See More Playing Time

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will reportedly see more playing time down the stretch of the season, according to general manager Ross Atkins. Hernandez has been awful with the bat this season, but the Jays believe he can bounce back. The Jays aren't in playoff contention, so they will likely give Hernandez a long […]

Peter Lambert To Make Debut Thursday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Peter Lambert will be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to make his major league debut against the Cubs on Thursday. The 22-year-old is 2-2 with a 5.07 ERA in 11 starts on the farm this year but has shown electric stuff at times. He was the team's second-round pick in 2015 […]

Tommy Pham Expects To Play Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (calf) said he ran on Wednesday and has been cleared to play. He's been dealing with a calf strain but expects to be in the starting lineup on Thursday. "1,000 percent," Pham said. The talented outfielder hasn't played since last Thursday, but it looks like he'll avoid a trip […]

Aaron Hicks Sitting Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is getting the day off Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a routine day off for Hicks, who will be available off the bench. It's been a slow start for the 29-year-old, who has hit just .224 with two home runs and has been striking out at […]

Genesis Cabrera Sent To Minors

The St. Louis Cardinals optioned starting pitcher Genesis Cabrera to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday and recalled pitcher Ryan Helsley from Memphis in a corresponding move. Cabrera, the team's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was 0-2 with a 6.48 ERA in his two starts while allowing two home runs and four walks with five strikeouts […]

Brandon Crawford Sitting Against Lefty

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against Mets left-handed starting pitcher Jason Vargas. Donovan Solano will start at the 6 and will hit second on Wednesday night. Solano is in a good lineup spot to be a deep DFS sleeper, but he has only four hits in […]

Trevor Williams Throws Bullpen Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Williams (side) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is lined up for a simulated game on Saturday. If all goes well, Williams could start a rehab assignment on June 13. Williams has struck out only 42 hitters in 54 innings across his nine starts, but he's also posted a […]

Juan Soto Continues Hot Streak In Nationals Win

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto kept up his torrid pace Wednesday, collecting three hits in the Nationals win over the Chicago White Sox. Soto, by his standards at least, started off the season somewhat slowly but has come alive of late. Over his last 17 games, he's racked up four home runs, 17 runs and […]

Gregory Polanco Moved Down To Sixth In Order

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco will bat sixth when the Pirates face the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday at PNC Park. The 27-year-old, who sat out the past two games, has struggled at the plate recently, compiling a slash line of .182/.237/.364 with an astonishing 42.5 percent strikeout rate over his last 54 at-bats. However, he […]

Alex Colome Blows First Save

Chicago White Sox closer Alex Colome gave up a walk and a walk-off home run in Wednesday’s outing versus the Nationals. Colome has pitched well all season, but didn’t have everything together Wednesday. It was Colome’s first blown save of the season and owners shouldn’t let one bad outing doubt him. He remains a good […]

Yoan Moncada Goes Yard In Consecutive Games

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada hit a home run for the second consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Nationals. It was Moncada’s only hit in five at-bats and he was robbed of a second home run in the game as well. Moncada is now hitting .282 with 12 home runs, 37 RBI and […]

Giants Place Buster Posey On Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed catcher Buster Posey (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain on Wednesday and activated reliever Trevor Gott from the injured list in a corresponding move. Posey suffered the injury on Saturday and hadn't played since. He continues to decline in his age-32 season, hitting .257/.321/.408 with […]

Trea Turner Walks It Off for Nationals

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner hit a no-out, two-run walk-off home run against Chicago White Sox closer Alex Colome for a 6-4 win on Wednesday. Turner had struck out three times previously and ended the game 1-for-5. It was his third home run of the season and first since coming off of the injured list […]

Dylan Covey Allows Seven Hits

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Covey allowed seven hits, two runs, one walk and struck out four over five innings on Wednesday versus the Nationals. Covey has mostly struggled this season, but has had back-to-back solid outings. Even so, Covey and his 4.58 ERA can be left on waivers. Covey will face the Nationals […]

Rougned Odor Getting Day Off Wednesday

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is getting a breather Wednesday against Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means. Logan Forsythe will start at second and bat sixth in his place. Forsythe, who has done well against left-handed pitchers this season with a .302 average and .412 on-base percentage, could be of use as the Orioles rookie […]

Jordan Zimmermann Scratched From Rehab Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (elbow, gluteus) was scratched from his rehab start on Wednesday at Triple-A Toledo with left gluteus tightness. It was supposed to be Zimm's first rehab start after being diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. The 33-year-old righty wasn't effective before his injury with a 5.93 […]

Rookie Davis To Start Friday, Nick Kingham To Bullpen

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Rookie Davis will start on Friday against the Brewers, while Nick Kingham will be moved to the bullpen. Davis, 26, has a 5.87 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings in four relief outings for the Bucs this year. He had an 8.63 ERA in six starts and […]

Alex Bregman Slugging .583 In Road Games

Houston Astros shortstop Alex Bregman is slashing .291/.403/.527 over his last 55 at-bats heading into Wednesday night's action. Bregman has especially been dangerous on the road this season, hitting 11 home runs in only 31 road games. With a host of injuries to key offensive players currently in the Astros lineup, a lot is being […]

Robinson Chirinos Has Homered In Three Straight Games

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos has homered in each of his last three games heading into Wednesday night's game against the Mariners. Not a bad start to the month of June for the veteran, who is slugging 1.083 through three games. Chirinos has been a positive acquisition for the Astros this season, slashing .245/.369/.503 through […]

Leonys Martin Out Wednesday, Oscar Mercado To Get Start

Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin will get the day off Wednesday against Minnesota Twins left-hander Martin Perez. In his place in center field will be rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado. Mercado has had a decent start to his big league career but needs to lower his strikeout rate and have more patience at the plate if […]

Francisco Cervelli Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates transferred catcher Francisco Cervelli (concussion) to the 10-day injured list on June 4. Cervelli, who last played in a game on May 25, was placed on the seven-day list on May 26. The Pirates recently said that they are going to take their time with bringing Cervelli back given his extensive concussion […]

Mitch Garver Out Wednesday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver is getting the day off Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. Garver has gone 1-for-7 in his return from the injured list and has been somewhat of a revelation for the Twins so far this season. His .314/.410/.698 slash line is superb and the 28-year-old already has nine home runs over […]

Robinson Cano Activated, Hitting Third Wednesday

The New York Mets activated second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) from the injured list on Wednesday, and he will hit third against Giants starting pitcher Tyler Beede. The 36-year-old veteran has been a shell of his former self in his first year with the Mets, hitting a very mediocre .241/.287/.371 with only three home runs, […]

Zack Greinke Pushed Back To Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that starting pitcher Zack Greinke (neck) will have his next start pushed back from Friday to Saturday against the Blue Jays to give him an extra day to deal with neck stiffness he experienced on Saturday against the Mets. Greinke uncharacteristically gave up four earned runs in four innings […]

Hunter Renfroe Not In Starting Lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is getting the day off Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Renfroe has become a more than useful fantasy contributor so far this season, smacking 17 bombs over 55 games. On the season, Renfroe is hitting .250/.301/.610 with 25 runs, 33 RBI and he's even chipped in three stolen bases, […]

Jimmy Nelson Set For Return

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson will make his first MLB appearance since September 8, 2017 on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Miami is sending out a nearly identical lineup to the one that scored 16 runs on Tuesday, with catcher Bryan Holaday behind the dish instead of Jorge Alfaro as the only change. That […]
