New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hernia) is continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and remains on track to come off the injured list on Friday for the start of the series against the A's.

Edwin Encarnacion Progressing

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) hit in the batting cage and did some fielding and throwing drills in New York on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Encarnacion will see live pitching in the near future and should be an option to return to the team soon. EE has been out […]

David Peralta To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. While Peralta certainly didn't live up to expectations after batting .293 and clubbing a career-high 30 homers in 2018, he was still relevant in the majority of fantasy leagues this year with his .275/.343/.461 slash line […]

Justin Turner Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was suspended one game for making contact with the plate umpire on Monday night. Turner is appealing the suspension and can play until the appeal is heard. It doesn't mean much for fantasy owners, but make sure you check back to see when Turner's appeal is heard. The […]

Addison Russell Hits Home Run

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday versus the Mets. Russell had been 2-for-14 since being recalled recently, but enjoyed facing the Mets Tuesday. Despite the nice stat line, Russell doesn’t play enough or hit well enough to be considered outside of DFS.

Javier Baez Breaks Out Of Slump

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez enjoyed his Tuesday evening versus the New York Mets. Baez went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a walk. Baez has been in the middle of a cold streak and hopefully Tuesday’s performance will get him going in time for the fantasy playoffs.

Yu Darvish Ends August With Another Strong Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish put together another strong start on Tuesday versus the New York Mets. Over eight innings, Darvish allowed five hits, one run, one walk and struck out seven.

Drew Smyly Struggles Again Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Drew Smyly allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Pirates Tuesday. Smyly allowed nine hits, including two, homers as his recent struggles continued. In his first two starts after being acquired by the Phillies Smyly allowed only one run in 13 innings. Opposing offenses have been […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start on Sunday with Double-A Trenton. Severino pitched well during his two inning simulated game on Tuesday.

Hunter Pence Officially Placed on Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (back) has been officially placed on the injured list, retroactive to Aug. 24. Pence suffered the injury last week and wasn't making enough progress, so the team decided to give him some extra rest. It's unclear how long he's going to be sidelined, but hopefully it's not longer than 10 […]

Ryan Braun is Out for Tuesday's Contest

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun has been seeing plenty of rest lately with the Brewers having a bit of a logjam in the outfield. Trent Grisham will bat leadoff and cover left field versus righty Mike Mikolas. Grisham has […]

Mike Moustakas Sits Out Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Moustakas was forced to leave during Monday's game after a ball hit him in the wrist. The X-rays came back negative, but it's still sore, so he's going to sit out on Tuesday. Cory […]

Starlin Castro Gets Day Off on Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran infielder will get a rare off day here to rest. Neil Walker will cover third base and bat cleanup versus righty Luis Castillo. Walker has decent upside with the bat, but won't have much […]

Tyler Glasnow Will Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Friday with High-A Charlotte. Glasnow went through a live batting practice session on Tuesday without any issues. He's been sidelined since May 11 due to a flexor strain in his right forearm. The Rays expect Glasnow to return to […]

Juan Lagares Sits Out on Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Juan Lagares (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This appears to be a routine day off or a matchup move, so Lagares won't start in this one. Michael Conforto will draw the start in center field and bat cleanup versus righty Yu Darvish. […]

Byron Buxton Suffers Setback

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (shoulder) was getting close to a rehab assignment but began feeling discomfort in his shoulder. He took batting practice on Sunday and Monday, but afterwards the shoulder discomfort returned. Buxton was expected to return on Sept. 1, but it's unclear when he'll be ready now. Fantasy owners have little reason […]

David Price Expected to Return This Weekend

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) is expected to rejoin the starting rotation this weekend. He threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and said that he felt ready to pitch. He told reporters that he's ready to return, but doesn't feel comfortable hitting in Colorado. Price is expected to pitch at some point […]

Mike Yastrzemski is Back in the Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yastrzemski has hit by a pitch in the hand on Sunday, but appears to be fine. He didn't start on Monday, but came off the bench to bat. He'll bat leadoff and play right field […]

Kevin Kiermaier Remains Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. Kiermaier ran into the wall on Sunday, so that could be why he's feeling discomfort. It sounds like a day-to-day injury, so Kiermaier shouldn't be out of the lineup for too long. Avisail Garcia will […]

Scooter Gennett Released by Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Gennett is hitting .226/.245/.323 this season and hasn't shown much promise with the bat. He was sidelined by injuries to begin the season and then just never seemed right once he came back. Mauricio Dubon has been recalled and is […]

Justin Upton Can't Get Season Going

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will start and hit fourth Tuesday night against the Rangers in Texas. It has been a lost season for the veteran, who has dealt with knee and groin injuries most of the year. Since his return to the lineup, his production has been practically non-existent. He is slashing only […]

Mike Trout One RBI Shy Of 100

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will try and reach 100 runs batted in for the third time in his career when the team opens up a series against the Rangers on Tuesday. Trout has been quiet over his last 30 at-bats, hitting only .233 during that span. But these lulls at the plate have […]

Albert Pujols Slugging .478 In Road Games

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols will hit fifth Tuesday night against Mike Minor and the Rangers. Pujols has a favorable matchup to produce on several different fronts.

Joey Votto Back From Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds activated first baseman Joey Votto (back) from the injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder/outfielder Jose Peraza to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Votto is hitting second against Marlins left-hander Caleb Smith in his first game back. The 35-year-old has really showed his age this year, hitting an un-Votto like .262/.352/.410 […]

Kole Calhoun Trying To Finish August Strong

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is coming off of a productive week of baseball and is slashing .320/.414/.640 over his last seven starts heading into Tuesday's action against the Rangers.
