Brandon Woodruff Activated, Will Start Against Padres

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Woodruff has been sidelined since late July due to a left oblique strain. He'll draw the start against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. He will likely be limited in his first start back, so DFS players may […]

Luis Severino Activated on Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. He will make his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels. He's been sidelined all season due to lat and shoulder injuries. He's someone worth looking at as a streaming option, but could be limited in his […]

Keston Hiura is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Hiura suffered a left hamstring injury in late August and has been sidelined from the starting lineup since then. He'll bat fifth and play second base versus righty Chris Paddack. Hiura was hitting very […]

Francisco Mejia Activated on Tuesday

San Diego Padres catcher Francisco Mejia (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Mejia went down in late August with a right oblique strain. Austin Hedges will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Brandon Woodruff. Hedges does not have any DFS appeal here, so go ahead […]

Josh Bell Sits Out Again on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Bell has not played since September 13 due to a groin issue. The Pirates are going to give him as much time as he needs to recover since they aren't playing for anything. Jose Osuna […]

Starling Marte Remains Out Against the Mariners

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Marte sprained his wrist over a week ago and still remains sidelined. It's unclear whether or not Marte will even suit up again for Pittsburgh this season. Erik Gonzalez will bat seventh and play center field […]

Jeimer Candelario Gets Scratched on Tuesday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (triceps) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Indians.

Max Kepler Gets the Night Off on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

LaMarre hasn't […]

Franmil Reyes is Scratched on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Franmil Reyes (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.

Bauers has one hit in […]

Buster Posey Won't Play on Tuesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (hip, back) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Posey is battling a sore right hip and is also suffering from back tightness. Stephen Vogt will draw the start behind the plate and bat cleanup versus righty Nathan Eovaldi. Vogt isn't worth […]

Blake Snell Activated, Will Start on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will draw the start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Snell missed almost two months of action after having arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow. He pitched well during his rehab outing on Thursday, but is expected […]

Caleb Ferguson Will Serve as Opener Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Caleb Ferguson will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Ross Stripling was expected to be scratched from this outing, but will actually come in out of the bullpen behind Ferguson. Stripling should be able to pitch around four or five innings in this one. However, […]

Jakob Junis To Be Shut Down

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis looks to be done for 2019. Manager Ned Yost told reporters on Monday that the 27-year-old pitcher is starting to fatigue, so he's making a lot of mistakes. Junis is tied for the American League lead in starts made this season at 31. It's been a long season […]

Ian Kennedy Records 30th Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy did it. He reached the 30-save plateau in his first season as the team's closer, and he once again reminded all fantasy owners to never pay for saves and don't ignore closers on bad teams. Kennedy has now recorded saves in five straight appearances while allowing a total […]

Alex Gordon Knocks In Two In Win

Kansas City Royals veteran outfielder Alex Gordon smacked a two-run single in the top of the fifth inning on Monday to tie the game and help the team eventually take the win. It was a nice change of pace for the longtime Royal, as he's finishing out another mediocre (at best) season with the team. […]

Adalberto Mondesi Hits 10th Triple

Kansas City Royals speedster Adalberto Mondesi may have missed a month of the season with a separated shoulder, but that hasn't stopped him from achieving one speed-based milestone for the organization. Mondesi smacked his 10th triple of the season on Monday night, becoming the first Royals player with double-digit triples in 16 years. The feat […]

Jorge Soler Drills 45th Homer, Ties AL Lead

Kansas City Royals slugger Jorge Soler hit a bomb way over the center field wall in the top of the fourth inning in Oakland on Monday night to catch Mike Trout in the American League home run race. With Trout out for the season, Soler's mammoth blast may help him write another piece of Royals […]

Marcell Ozuna Drives in Four Runs on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna drove in four runs on Monday, providing all of the offense for starting pitcher Dakota Hudson and the Cardinals. Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double, scoring a run and raising his slash line to .252/.332/.495. The home run was his 28th of the season, and […]

Carlos Martinez Picks Up His 20th Save on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez collected his 20th save of the season on Monday, getting the last out of the game by throwing just two pitches. Martinez has been solid in his first go around as a closer, posting the 20 saves and an even 3.00 ERA. He should be a solid contributor in […]

Dakota Hudson Throws Seven Strong Innings on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson threw seven great innings on Monday, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Hudson was able to limit hard contact, but he didn't get too many swings-and-misses, racking up just one strikeout. Still, it was a solid performance from Hudson, who lowered his ERA to […]

Tyler Alexander Earns First MLB Win

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyler Alexander allowed one run across six innings and earned his first career win Monday against the Orioles. Alexander only allowed four hits and didn't walk a batter while striking out three. Alexander now sports a 4.87 ERA across 44 1/3 Big League innings after putting up a 5.13 ERA in […]

Joe Jimenez Earns Seventh Save

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Joe Jimenez pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his seventh save of the season Monday against the Orioles.

Fortunately for Jimenez, he was […]

Trey Mancini Blasts 33rd Homer

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Tigers Monday. Mancini had a leadoff double in the fourth inning before he took starter Tyler Alexander deep in the sixth for his 33rd round-tripper of the season. In a disappointing season for the Orioles, Mancini has […]

Stephen Piscotty Could Be Done For Season

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (ankle) has had some more soreness in his right ankle and manager Bob Melvin has suggested it will be difficult for Piscotty to return by the end of the season. Piscotty, who has been on the injured list since August 25, was working out attempting to recover from a high […]

John Means Struggles Versus Tigers

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings and took his 11th loss of the season Monday at Detroit.

Mike Fiers To Throw Bullpen Session Tuesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers (arm) is expecting to throw a bullpen session Tuesday. Fiers left Saturday's start against the Rangers with nerve irritation in his right arm. He hasn't had an MRI yet but said he's feeling good and the visit to the doctor went well. It sounds like Fiers could have a […]

Wilson Ramos Out Of The Lineup Monday

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos (rest) is not in the lineup Monday at Colorado. It appears to be a routine day off for the 32-year-old backstop who has been rock-solid for fantasy owners this season slashing .291/.353/.423 with 14 homers and 72 RBI in 132 games. Tomas Nido will start at catcher and bat […]

Carlos Martinez Available Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Carlos Martinez (asthma) is available out of the bullpen Monday, according to manager Mike Shildt.

Domingo Santana Expected to Be Activated on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Domingo Santana (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Santana has been sidelined since August 20 due to inflammation in his right elbow. It sounds like the Mariners plan to ease him back into action. He'll come off the bench a few times and serve as […]

Carlos Correa Should Return This Week

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list sometime this week. Correa has been sidelined since August 20 due to a lower back issue. He continues to make progress, so the Astros feel like Correa could return as early as Tuesday. However, the team may ease him […]
