Ronald Torreyes To Be Phillies Shortstop

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Ronald Torreyes will serve as the team's starting shortstop for now with Didi Gregorius (elbow) still on the injured list. Manager Joe Girardi said he'd also be comfortable using Luke Williams at the 6, but for now it'll mainly be Torreyes at the position. The 28-year-old is in his seventh big league […]

Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Lands On The Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed infielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo (calf) on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain on Wednesday.

Tsutsugo mainly serves as […]

Dodgers Activate Tony Gonsolin For Wednesday's Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list and will start on Wednesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will rest on Wednesday versus the San Diego Padres.

Kris Bryant Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs corner infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant will get a day of rest on Wednesday versus the San Diego Padres.

Javier Baez Will Miss Third Straight Game

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) continues to be sidelined with a thumb injury and will miss Wednesday's contest versus the San Diego Padres.

Amed Rosario Collects Three More Hits Tuesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop and outfielder Amed Rosario went 3-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored, and one RBI in Tuesday night's 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Rhys Hoskins Takes Another 0-for-5 Versus Braves

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Braves on Tuesday. It was the second-straight 0-for-5 game for Hoskins after he put together a 12-game hit-streak. The lefty slugger is a traditionally streaky hitter so the Phillies and fantasy managers hope he can snap out of this […]

Dinelson Lamet Falls Apart Late

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet surrendered four earned runs in five-plus innings Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander was cruising through five frames before attempting to pitch into the sixth for the first time this season, promptly yielding three knocks before being pulled and watching the bullpen complete the late collapse. Overall, Lamet […]

Shane Bieber Earns Seventh Win Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber went six innings while allowing one earned run on five hits and two walks and striking out five in Tuesday night's 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Rob Refsnyder Collects Two Hits In Return

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees. It was Refsnyder's first game back since returning from a concussion- he wasted no time in picking up right where he left off at the plate. The 30-year-old is slashing .340/.379/.528 with two homers and 10 […]

Ryan Jeffers Stays Hot In Loss To Yankees

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the New York Yankees.

Taylor Rogers Saddled With Third Loss

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers had a rough outing in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees. Rogers allowed two runs on three hits in his one inning of work. The southpaw allowed a pair of hitters to reach base but was then dealt a bad hand by his defense, which committed two errors. […]

Brandon Belt Collects Three Hits In Tuesday Return

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt had an encouraging first game back from the injured list in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers. Belt went 3-for-4 with three singles and a walk.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Tauchman made his lone hit count in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers, going 1-for-4 with a grand slam.

Michael Pineda Surrenders Two Runs In No-Decision

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda didn't factor into the decision in his first outing since being scratched from Sunday's start. Pineda pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits and two walks. He fanned only two batters on nine swinging strikes, though he did paint the zone with 14 called […]

Alex Wood Turns In Mediocre Start Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Wood turned in a middling performance in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers. Wood pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and three walks with two strikeouts.

Miguel Andujar Belts Fourth Homer

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar belted his fourth home run of the season in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

The veteran has […]

Joey Gallo Exited Early On Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (groin) was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was removed due to groin tightness during the eighth inning. This is concerning since Gallo is likely going to be the Rangers' biggest trade chip at the deadline. Gallo slapped his 11th home run of […]

DJ LeMahieu Ends Extra-Base Hit Drought

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins. LeMahieu hadn't recorded an extra-base hit in his last 16 games before he stepped up to the plate in the first inning and ripped an 0-2 slider into right field for a two-bagger. […]

Scott Alexander Could Be Out Until July

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) could very well miss another month of action. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since early May due to inflammation in his shoulder. The Dodgers are expected to activate Tony Gonsolin on Wednesday, so Alexander might be moved to the 60-day injured list. That would create a […]

Sonny Gray To Undergo MRI Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (groin) was removed early during his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Gray exited during the top of the fourth inning due to groin tightness. It's a shame since Gray was pitching well until he was forced to exit. Fantasy managers are going to be need to wait […]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge didn't record a hit but drove in a pair of runs in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Minnesota Twins.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (back) was pulled out early during Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Dickerson only took one at-bat before exiting due to back tightness.

Gary Sanchez Goes Yard Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins. Sanchez hit the ball hard all night, as he ripped a 112 MPH lineout, then tacked on a 107.9 MPH single. The slugger capped off his strong day at the […]

Ian Kennedy Sat Out Tuesday As Precaution

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy (hamstring) was unavailable out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He has not pitched since last Friday due to hamstring tightness. It doesn't sound like the team plans on placing Kennedy on the injured list. They'd rather give him a few days to rest […]
