Jimmie Sherfy Recalled From Triple-A

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Jimmie Sherfy has been called up from Triple-A Reno Aces on Sunday. After Troy Scribner's disastrous start on Sunday, and with the Diamondbacks rotation getting back on track for the meantime, this can allow a call-up option for mid-relief for the Diamondbacks. While Sherfy will hold no fantasy relevance behind Brad […]

Brandon Belt Back On Track Sunday

San Francisco first baseman Brandon Belt got back to his hitting ways on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored. Belt just recently ended an on base streak of 21 games due to his high walk rate, but has only been batting .179 over the last week, so its encouraging to see […]

Anthony Rendon To Rest On Sunday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (rest) will sit out the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. This is just customary rest for Rendon, and he will be back in the lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. He will most certainly get a pinch-hit opportunity so if you have no […]

Adrian Beltre Leaves Sunday’s Game

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre left Sunday’s game following a misplay. Beltre appeared to have re-aggrevated the hamstring injury which saw him land on the disabled list recently. If that is the case it is possible Beltre could find himself back on the DL in the coming days. In 117 plate appearances in 2018, […]

Mark Reynolds To Make Nationals Debut Sunday

Washington Nationals first baseman Mark Reynolds will make his Nationals debut on Mother's Day against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Zack Godley A Risky Play Sunday Night

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Godley is set to take on the Washington Nationals on Sunday night.

Danny Duffy Continues Poor Season

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy had a dreadful outing Sunday. Pitching in Cleveland was always going to be tough, but Sunday saw Duffy give up nine earned runs in just 3 1/3 innings. Duffy's ERA now sits at 6.51 and he is giving up 2.3 home runs per nine innings pitched. In this […]

Jean Segura's Two-Run Single Not Enough In Loss

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura's eighth inning two-run single came up short as the Tigers held off the Mariners 5-4 on Sunday.

Trevor Cahill Still Not Feeling 100 Percent With Elbow

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (elbow) is still not 100 percent after throwing an "up-and-down" bullpen session Sunday, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. He was supposed to miss the minimum amount of time on the DL, but right now the team hasn't made a decision. Manager Bob Melvin stated the […]

Jacob DeGrom Leaves Sunday Start After One Inning

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob DeGrom exited Sunday's start after just one inning. DeGrom struggled through that inning, throwing 45 pitches and walking three, but did not surrender a run. After returning from the DL and laboring that extensively in the first inning, it is likely that the Mets are just playing it safe […]

Robinson Cano Diagnosed With A Fractured Bone In Hand

Updating an earlier post, Robinson Cano's X-ray taken at the stadium revealed that he fractured his fifth metacarpal on his right hand. In most cases a metacarpal break takes six to eight weeks to heal, so a DL stint is imminent. This is a huge loss for the Mariners who have already suffered a lot […]

David Dahl Looks To Stay Hot Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl is batting second in Sunday's contest against the Brewers and should be in line for a big game.

Robinson Cano Leaves Game Sunday After HBP

Dustin Pedroia To Begin Rehab At Pawtucket On Monday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is scheduled to play six innings Monday in Pawtucket, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic.

Derek Fisher Might Be A Sneaky Start With Juicy Matchup

Houston Astros outfielder Derek Fisher is in the lineup Sunday against lefty Matt Moore. Fisher hasn't seen a lot of success in the early going of 2018, but the matchup against Moore suggests he could see some Sunday. Though it is a very small sample size, Fisher is 3-for-8 against left-handed pitching this season but […]

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner is scheduled to throw off of a mound on Monday and to return after two minor league rehab starts.

Hanley Ramirez Sitting Against Blue Jays

Boston Red Sox first baseman Hanley Ramirez will sit Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Ramirez has been a pleasant surprise this season.

Mitch Moreland Back In Lineup Sunday
