Kyle Lewis Scratched Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis was scratched from the starting lineup Tuesday. Lewis was slated to bat fourth and play center field against the Diamondbacks.

George Springer Diagnosed With Grade 2 Oblique Strain

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 oblique strain.

The plan is for him […]

Kirby Yates Likely Headed For Tommy John Surgery

Toronto Blue Jays closer Kirby Yates is likely headed for Tommy John surgery.

Corey Kluber Solid On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber was decent on Tuesday, holding the Tigers to one run (zero earned) over 3.2 innings with four strikeouts and three walks. Kluber's 71 pitches were a spring-high for him and the most pitches he's thrown in a game since April 2019, and it's encouraging to see the 34-year-old […]

Mike Tauchman Reaches Base Four Times On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman had a big day at the plate on Tuesday, going 2-for-2 with a home run and a pair of walks. Tauchman now has a strong .960 OPS for the spring, but he faces an uphill battle for an MLB roster spot because of outfielder Jay Bruce's successful spring and […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Exits With Apparent Injury

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) exited Tuesday's game with an apparent injury. After a defensive play, Tatis came off the field with the trainer. Subsequent reports indicated the initial concern was his left shoulder. Fantasy managers and baseball fans will certainly hope the move is precautionary, but the focus will be any […]

Carlos Correa Looking Sharp Offensively

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is enjoying a productive Spring Training with one week to play before Opening Day. Correa is slashing .300/.389/.400 through 30 at-bats and is trying to bounce back after a disappointing 2020 season. In fact, it has been an "every-other-year"-type of productivity for the 26-year-old. Since 2017, Correa's OPS has been […]

Yuli Gurriel Slumping At The Dish

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is slumping at the plate heading into the final week of Spring Training. The 36-year-old is only 5-for-30 at the plate this spring and is slugging only .300. The veteran could simply be trying to get his timing down and Spring Training numbers need to be taken with a […]

Will Alex Bregman Be Ready To Roll?

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has played only three spring games heading into the final week of Spring Training. Bregman has been dealing with a hamstring injury and has only nine at-bats during the exhibition portion of the season. When healthy, Alex Bregman is a force at the plate and a top-20 play in […]

Jose Quintana Having Strong Camp

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jose Quintana has enjoyed a fantastic Spring Training for his new team with one week to play before the regular season starts. Quintana was acquired in the offseason as a "buy-low" player and is being reunited with manager Joe Maddon. The left-handed starter has pitched himself into a role on the […]

Mike Trout Drives In Three On Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout enjoyed a strong day at the plate on Monday, driving in three runs against the Cubs.

Dexter Fowler Struggles Continue

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Dexter Fowler is scuffling at the dish heading into the final week of Spring Training. Fowler was signed in the offseason as a veteran bat and to be reunited with manager Joe Maddon. But the veteran is off to a slow start and is slashing only .179/.194/.321. Spring Training is often […]

Alex Kirilloff Optioned To Alternate Camp

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff has been optioned to the team's alternate training site, per manager Rocco Baldelli.

Anthony Rendon Slugging .571 This Spring

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon smacked his second home run of the spring season on Monday. Rendon is slowly rounding into shape with only a week to play before the regular season starts and is slugging .571 through 28 exhibition at-bats.

Justin Upton Enjoying Fantastic Spring Training

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton is having a resurgent Spring Training and fantasy teams are hoping this can carry into the regular season.

Isan Diaz Has Another Forgettable Spring Day

Miami Marlins second baseman Isan Diaz had another rough day in a Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Diaz went 0-for-3 at the plate, dropping his batting average to .071.

Castano pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out six. He didn't give up any walks, throwing 66 pitches, 47 for strikes.

Drew Pomeranz Scheduled To Pitch Friday

San Diego Padres reliever Drew Pomeranz (forearm) is expected to pitch Friday. The 32-year-old southpaw has been sidelined for two weeks with forearm tightness but tests revealed no structural damage. Pomeranz posted a fantastic 1.45 ERA and 40 percent strikeout rate in 20 appearances in 2020, gathering four saves. He's currently the favorite to close […]

Jacob Nix Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

The San Diego Padres confirmed pitcher Jacob Nix (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery last week.

The 25-year-old was a long shot to make the squad as bullpen depth but will now rehab […]

Luis Robert Struggles Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's 7-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

Ha-Seong Kim Will Take Outfield Reps

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim will take outfield reps in the closing days of spring training.

Gleyber Torres Poised For Rebound Year

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is poised for a bounce-back season for the Bronx Bombers in 2021. Torres was out-of-shape and out of sorts at the plate during the shortened season last year, as his .724 OPS was uncharacteristically low. A dramatic decrease in barrel rate- 3.7 percent compared to 9.0 percent for his […]

Ramon Laureano Back In Action Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (side) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies. Laureano was scratched from Wednesday's game last week after feeling some pain in his side.

Avisail Garcia Stays Hot Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia went 1-for-3 with a two-run shot in Monday's 6-3 win against the Cleveland Indians.

Josh Hader To Serve As Traditional Closer In 2021

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader will serve as a traditional closer for his team during the 2021 season, per manager Craig Counsell. Hader will be locked into the ninth-inning- with Devin Williams in front of him- a role that should be great news for his fantasy value. The 26-year-old has compiled 50 saves with […]
