Chris Devenski To Have Surgery Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Chris Devenski (elbow) will undergo elbow surgery on Wednesday.

Tyler Glasnow Strikes Out Eight In Quality Start Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings against the Yankees on Tuesday night.

Sandy Alcantara Takes The Loss On Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara took the loss on Tuesday, dropping his record to 2-5. He tossed six innings, allowing four runs on nine hits without issuing a walk while striking out four.

Jon Lester To Start Against Braves Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jon Lester will start against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Lester limited the Milwaukee Brewers to one earned run on four strikeouts and no walks in four innings in his last time out, but the veteran left-hander will be a very risky option for those looking to stream an arm on […]

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray had a strong start versus the Marlins on Tuesday, striking out nine for his third win of the season. He allowed one run on six hits and a pair of walks in the 96-pitch effort, throwing 64 of them for strikes. Ray has impressed this year by setting […]

Michael Brantley, Jason Castro Progressing

Catcher Jason Castro (Achilles) is "a little […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Belts Another Homer

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. kept his terrific season going on Tuesday, blasting his league-leading 17th homer in the team's 5-1 win over the Marlins. His three-run shot off Sandy Alcantara in the third inning was all the offense needed in the contest, but the 22-year old finished the game going 4-for-4 […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Has Three-Hit Day

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. stayed hot at the dish on Tuesday, going 3-for-4 in the team's 5-1 win over the Marlins.

Jose Quintana Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Quintana (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The southpaw left Sunday's matchup against the Athletics because of discomfort in his throwing shoulder, so the team will play it safe by keeping him out for a bit. The veteran hasn't played well this season, sporting a 7.22 ERA […]

Chris Owings Making Progress

Colorado Rockies second baseman Chris Owings (thumb) is "getting closer" to returning to the lineup, according to manager Bud Black.

Good News For Trevor Story

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story's (elbow) MRI came back clean, revealing no structural damage. The veteran recently landed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, so fantasy managers certainly embraced Tuesday's news. He is eligible to come off the list on June 7, which could open the door for him to suit up […]

Dylan Cease Struggles In Second Loss

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease struggled in a loss against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. Cease only went 3 1/3 innings and allowed eight hits, six runs, one walk and struck out two. Cease just didn't have it Tuesday night and command was a big part of that problem. Cease has very good […]

Jack Flaherty Placed On Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old left Monday's start against the Dodgers after only five innings of work with tightness in his left side. Skipper Mike Shildt described the ailment as "significant," which would appear to indicate that his absence will likely extend well […]

Stephen Strasburg Leaves Tuesday’s Game Against Braves

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg exited Tuesday's matchup against the Braves with an undisclosed injury. The veteran was nailed by a William Contreras' comeback and was observed flexing his left hand. The 32-year-old also appeared to favor his shoulder during the contest and seemingly had issues with his velocity throughout. More information is likely […]

Trevor Williams Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This isn't a surprise, primarily since he was pulled from his scheduled start on Monday to have an emergency appendectomy. The 29-year-old has a 5.36 ERA and a 3-2 record this season, so fantasy managers who still have him on the […]

Matt Duffy Working Toward Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Duffy (back) has recently been doing some light swinging. The 30-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list while tending to a lower back strain and is eligible to come off soon.

Chris Sale Starting To Increase Intensity

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) continues to move in the right direction.

The veteran is recovering from Tommy John surgery and could be back on the field within the next few months, […]

Anthony Rizzo Will Be Playing On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will be back in the lineup, batting third against the San Diego Padres on Thursday. Rizzo has been nursing a sore back and missed the last six Cubs contests. Before his back stiffened up, Rizzo compiled a .258 batting average along with five homers and 19 RBI. The first […]

Michael Feliz Placed On Injured List

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Michael Feliz (undisclosed) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The organization has not revealed the injury, so who knows how long Feliz will be sidelined. He was getting crushed before getting released by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cincinnati didn't get to see much of Feliz before the injury. Mike Freeman has […]

Zac Gallen Throws Bullpen On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondback right-handed pitcher Zac Gallen (elbow) showed promise in a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday in which he used all of his pitches.

Before getting hurt, the Diamondbacks pitcher carried a […]

Evan Longoria Likely Out A Few Days

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (side) is likely going to be sidelined for a few games.
