Mac Williamson Scratched Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson (neck) has been scratched from the lineup Wednesday due to neck stiffness after he crashed into the outfield wall Tuesday.

Xander Bogaerts Likely To Return On Friday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (ankle) is expected to rejoin the Red Sox on Friday, per manager Alex Cora. Cora also stated Bogaerts will go through workouts Wednesday and Thursday because his second rehab game on Wednesday was canceled due to rain. Make the adjustments to your roster so you can start him on […]

Carlos Gonzalez Progressing On DL

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (hamstring) is making progress in his rehab from the disabled list, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. Gonzalez has been sidelined with a strained hamstring since April 19, and all current information points to him being ready to return close to when he's first eligible. With that said, the […]

Peter Alonso Is Dominating Double-A

New York Mets first base prospect Peter Alonso may have a few guys ahead of him on the depth chart, but he’s certainly making his best case to do some leapfrogging pretty soon. The 23-year-old is dominating Double-A Binghamton, slashing .357/.456/.625 with three home runs, six doubles, and 10 RBI through 16 games thus far. […]

Ryan Zimmerman Sits Wednesday, Andrew Stephenson Starts In Left Field

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not in Wednesday's starting lineup. Matt Adams will play first and bat cleanup in his place. Andrew Stevenson will play in left field and is batting sixth. It's not surprising to see Zimmerman sitting a day game after a night game. Adams hits righties well, so he's a […]

Kyle Freeland Limping Around After Liner Off Foot

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland is apparently limping around and feeling pretty sore from a line drive that went off his heel during his start on Tuesday night, according to manager Bud Black. However, at least he got the great win, and Black didn't seem very concerned about the injury. There's a chance he […]

Joe Musgrove Could Join Pirates Rotation by Early to Mid-May

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Joe Musgrove (shoulder) threw a simulated game on Wednesday and could join the team's starting rotation by early to mid-May if his strained right shoulder reacts well. The Athletic's Rob Biertempfel expects Musgrove to start a rehab assignment soon, though it's not clear how many outings he'll need in the minor leagues before […]

Evan Longoria Resting Wednesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria will have Wednesday afternoon off. Longoria has rebounded after a slow start to the season. Pablo Sandoval will replace Longoria at third base and bat fifth. Sandoval can be avoided Wednesday in DFS as he’ll face Max Scherzer. Longoria should be back in the lineup Friday versus the […]

Buster Posey Will Rest Wednesday Versus Nationals

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will get a day of rest Wednesday afternoon versus the Nationals. Posey is in the middle of a slump with a .209 batting average over his last 43 at-bats. Nick Hundley will replace Posey Wednesday and bat eighth. He can be avoided as the Giants face Max Scherzer. Posey […]

Mike Moustakas' Hitting Streak Ends At 14 Games

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas finally got saddled with a hitless showing on Tuesday night. This brought his 14-game hitting streak to a close, and he'll just have to go back to being the best player on the team without a hit streak. Moustakas has been one of the only bright parts of […]

Jon Gray Scheduled To Start On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray is scheduled to take the hill against the Padres for a day game on Wednesday, and he'll be looking once more to right the ship. Gray has been atrocious so far this season. Outside of one bright spot in which he went seven scoreless innings against the Padres back in […]

Tyler Nevin Is Healthy And Performing Well

Colorado Rockies third base prospect Tyler Nevin went 2-for-5 with one run and two RBI for Class A Lancaster on Tuesday. Nevin is now hitting .318 with four doubles, one home run and eight RBI. Nevin has had health issues to start his career, but appears to be fully healthy and ready for a breakout […]

Christian Villanueva Sitting, Chase Headley Playing Third Base

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva is sitting Wednesday. That is good news for Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray, as Villanueva is hitting .356 with seven home runs this season. Third baseman Chase Headley will take Villanueva's place in the lineup. Headley is hitting just .088 this season and is 1-for-6 when facing […]

Shohei Ohtani's Blister is Gone

Los Angeles Angels starter Shohei Ohtani's finger now has a callus where the blister was previously. As such, Ohtani does not believe that the blister will be an issue for him the rest of the season. Ohtani was able to throw 5 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on five walks with seven strikeouts on […]

Victor Martinez Limited For Next Three Games

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will be available to pinch hit, but not much else, as the Tigers will be spending the next three games in a National League ballpark. The veteran slugger does not play a defensive position, and will therefore be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective. It's not a bad time […]

JaCoby Jones Batting Fifth Wednesday

The Detroit Tigers red-hot outfielder JaCoby Jones is batting fifth for the Tigers as they take on the Pirates on Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. Over the last seven games, Jones has amassed a .375 average with two homers, five RBI and one stolen base, exciting Tigers fans and fantasy owners in the […]

Christin Stewart Picks Up Four Hits Tuesday

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart went 4-for-5 with a home run on Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo. Stewart is one of the best power bats in the minor leagues and hit 58 home runs over the past two years. Stewart isn’t the strongest defensive player, but his bat should certainly make up for it at the […]

Robinson Cano Has Good History Against White Sox Starter

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano will take his usual place in the lineup Wednesday. In his career, Cano has been extremely successful against Chicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields with a .423 batting average and four home runs in 85 plate appearances. Cano will be one of the more expensive options at second base […]

Nick Solak Continues To Hit

Tampa Bay Rays second base prospect Nick Solak is now hitting .323 in his first 62 at-bats this season for Double-A Montgomery. Solak also has 10 RBI and three stolen bases. Solak has hit at every level he’s been in and drives the ball into the gap, but lacks in the power department. Solak has […]

Omar Narvaez, Trayce Thompson Starting Wednesday

With the Chicago White Sox giving catcher Welington Castillo and designated hitter Matt Davidson an off day, catcher Omar Narvaez and outfielder Trayce Thompson get starts. Neither Narvaez nor Thompson have started well this season. Narvaez is hitting a meager .160 with zero home runs in 30 plate appearances. Thompson is hitting just .167 in […]

Bud Norris Experiencing "A Little Soreness"

St. Louis Cardinals closer Bud Norris was unavailable to pitch on Tuesday night to due what manager Mike Matheny is referring to as "a little soreness." Norris had a dip in his velocity in his last outing on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, but he was able to pitch well regardless. Still, it's a slight concern, […]

Luis Valbuena, Rene Rivera Starting Wednesday

The Los Angeles Angels will start first baseman Luis Valbuena and catcher Rene Rivera Wednesday. Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani receives an off day after pitching Tuesday night and catcher Martin Maldonado gets a rest after catching three straight days. Rivera has never registered a hit against Astros starter Justin Verlander in seven plate appearances but […]

10 Strikeouts For J.A. Happ

Seemingly out of nowhere in 2017, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ became a strikeout pitcher by averaging 8.79 punchouts per nine innings when he hadn’t eclipsed 7.90 K/9 in any of the four years prior. In 2018, Happ is certainly showing those strikeouts were no fluke. After finishing with tallies of nine, nine […]

Greg Holland Finally Looks Like Greg Holland on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Greg Holland had a strong outing on Tuesday, finally looking like the guy the Cardinals wanted to give $14 million to for one year. Holland tossed a perfect inning against the New York Mets, including two strikeouts. Meanwhile, Cardinals closer Bud Norris is dealing with "a little soreness," which caused […]

Max Stassi, Derek Fisher Starting for Astros Wednesday

The Houston Astros are sitting catcher Brian McCann and designated hitter Evan Gattis on Wednesday. Starting in their place are catcher Max Stassi and outfielder Derek Fisher. Stassi has been hitting well so far in 2018 and currently has a .294 batting average with two home runs, five runs and seven RBI in 40 plate […]

Luke Weaver Struggles With His Command on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver struggled with his command on Tuesday, allowing four runs on two hits and six walks while striking out four. He was through the first three innings with just one hit and one run allowed, but then the fifth inning happened, which featured two walks ahead of a Yoenis […]

Tommy Pham Reaches Five Times on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham reached base five times on Tuesday, hitting a home run and two singles while also walking twice. It was his return to the lineup after missing a couple of games due to tightness in his groin. In 20 games so far, Pham is hitting an impressive .348/.477/.522 and showing […]

Jack Flaherty Will Get the Start on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Jack Flaherty will get the start for the Cardinals on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He'll be starting in Adam Wainwright's (elbow) turn in the rotation. Wainwright expects to be back as soon as he's eligible to come off the disabled list, but it remains to be seen if […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Hits Two Home Runs Monday

San Diego Padres top prospect, shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., hit two home runs for Double-A Frisco. It was needed for baseball’s No. 8 prospect, as he has been off to a cold start this season. Tatis upped his average to .200 with his 2-for-4 performance Monday. Tatis offers very strong bat speed and power at […]

Austin Riley Hits Another Home Run

Atlanta Braves third base prospect Austin Riley hit his fourth home run of the season for Double-A Mississippi on Monday. The Braves third baseman of the future has been on fire to start the season. Riley is now hitting .373 with four home runs and 15 RBI. The Braves recent signing of Jose Bautista may […]
