Trevor Story Could Be Activated By Thursday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) could be activated for Thursday's matchup against Miami, according to skipper Bud Black. The veteran was expected back on Tuesday or Wednesday, so fantasy managers should take Black's recent prediction with a grain of salt. Story has been out since the end of May because of right elbow inflammation, […]

Sean Manaea Fires Six Shutout Innings Wednesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea pitched another strong game on Wednesday afternoon, blanking the Diamondbacks for six frames while picking up his fifth win of the season.

Tyler Naquin Should Be Back Soon

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) isn't expected to need an IL stint. The veteran injured his left hamstring during Sunday's outing against the Cardinals, and he hasn't been back in the lineup since. However, skipper David Bell didn't seem too overly concerned, so it appears as if Naquin could be back at some point […]

Matt Peacock Injured On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock (finger) left Wednesday's matchup against the Athletics. Peacock injured his right ring finger while attempting to barehand a Jed Lowrie comebacker, and while X-rays were negative, he was diagnosed with numbness. The righty is 2-3 throughout five starts this season while also racking up a 5.24 ERA to go along […]

Taylor Widener Making Progress

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session soon.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matthew Peacock picked up a loss on Wednesday as Oakland defeated his team 4-0. Peacock gave up three runs in just 1 2/3 innings. It was Peacock's shortest outing of the season. He has struggled in his last two starts. Hopefully, the rookie right-hander can recover from his previous two outings as […]

Clint Frazier Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is absent from Wednesday's lineup for the contest against the Minnesota Twins. Frazier has ceded the left-field duties to Miguel Andujar for the second straight game, as the latter is swinging a hotter bat lately. Andujar will bat seventh against Twins' right-hander Randy Dobnak.

Gary Sanchez Getting The Day Off Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Sanchez will head to the bench with Gerrit Cole on the mound, despite hitting .292 with a home run and a .544 slugging percentage in six June games so far. Kyle Higashioka will be behind the plate […]

Byron Buxton Feeling Healthy Following First Rehab Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) said he's feeling "100 percent" healthy following his first rehab game Tuesday night. Buxton went 2-for-3 with a triple for the St. Paul Saints but will need more at-bats following his month-long layoff, with Buxton himself citing that he wasn't too pleased with his performance at the dish. Regardless […]

Yusei Kikuchi To Make Next Start Saturday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (knee) is expected to make his next start Saturday against Cleveland. Kikuchi was forced out of his last start after just four innings when he was struck by a batted ball, but he has responded well in recent days and will not end up missing a turn in the […]

Rob Refsnyder Won't Be Available Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder (hamstring) is not available for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Refsnyder is dealing with a tight left hamstring- an injury he suffered during Tuesday's contest after a game-tying RBI double. The Twins aren't placing him on the injured list yet, though it's certainly a possibility if his condition […]

Gilberto Celestino Rejoining Big Club

Minnesota Twins outfielder Gilberto Celestino was recalled from Triple-A ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Celestino was just sent down Tuesday when Rob Refsnyder was activated, though the young outfielder is needed once again with Kyle Garlick (hernia) headed to the 10-day injured list. The 22-year-old logged 12 at-bats, though he has […]

Jeff Hoffman Expected To Make Rehab Starts This Month

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) is reportedly progressing from his injury and should be able to go out on a rehab assignment later this month.

Cincinnati called up right-hander Art Warren […]

Nelson Cruz Returning To Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Cruz missed each of the last two contests with a stiff knee and is still not considered 100 percent, though he'll be back, presumably slotted in as the number-three hitter in the Twins' order. The veteran […]

Kyle Garlick Headed To Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (hernia) is headed to the injured list with a sports hernia. Garlick appeared in Tuesday night's game, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts, but will now be forced to miss some time with the ailment. It's yet another blow to a Twins' outfield already dealing with injuries, meaning the team will […]

Garrett Cooper Placed On The Injured List On Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (back) was placed on the injured list before Wednesday's game with a lumbar strain. In a corresponding move, the Marlins called up first baseman Lewin Diaz from Triple-A Jacksonville.

David Peterson To Make Next Start

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson will make his next scheduled start with the Mets, according to manager Luis Rojas.

Carlos Carrasco No Longer Throwing Off Mound

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (hamstring), currently on the 60-day injured list, began throwing off a mound last week but is now no longer doing so.

Alex Verdugo Sits For Second Straight Day

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is out of the lineup for the second straight day, and manager Alex Cora says that is the result of some minor back tightness. He is expected back in the lineup Wednesday. Fantasy managers will breathe a sigh of relief that this is not a significant injury, but […]

Connor Joe Recalled From Triple-A

Colorado Rockies' first baseman Connor Joe has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque after Matt Adams (elbow) was placed on the injured list on Tuesday.
