Nathan Eovaldi Will Throw Bullpen Session on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow, rib) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. He was scratched from his most recent rehab start after suffering a right rib cage muscle strain. Eovaldi could join the Rays by the end of May, but that's if everything goes as planned. He's not worth adding right […]

Jason Castro Will Have Surgery on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins catcher Jason Castro (knee) will have surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn right meniscus. He is expected to miss roughly four to six weeks of action. He has already missed most of the month, so he decided to have surgery. Castro is expected to return around mid-June. Mitch Garver and Bobby Wilson […]

Christian Yelich To Rest On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (rest) will be absent from Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is just a customary rest day for Yelich, who will return in Tuesday's game. He should be benched for Monday and then inserted back into lineups for Tuesday.

Miguel Sano Not Near 100 Percent

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (hamstring) is "not close to 100 percent," according to manager Paul Molitor. He did field some grounders, but it does not sound like he is close to returning. Sano has been out since late April and it appears he could be out for at least another week. He should […]

Nelson Cruz Has Favorable Monday Matchup To Snap Skid

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz is hitting .182 through 44 at-bats in the month of May heading into Monday night's action.

Trevor May Will Continue Rehab Assignment on Thursday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Trevor May (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Rochester. He walked three and struck out five over four scoreless innings on Saturday.

Hector Velazquez Lands on DL

Boston Red Sox pitcher Hector Velazquez (back) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. The team has activated starter Steven Wright to take his spot on the active roster. It's unclear how long Velazquez will be sidelined. He's been pitching well this season but was only worth owning in the deepest of leagues. This […]

Cleveland to Make a DL Decision on Bradley Zimmer

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer (chest) will work out on Monday, and the results of that workout will determine if he will be placed on the 10-day disabled list. Zimmer has only started one game in the past week since he bruised his chest colliding against the outfield wall. The workout will determine if Zimmer […]

Nicholas Castellanos Could Return Tuesday

Detroit Tigers third baseman/outfielder Nicholas Castellanos (finger) could return on Tuesday, according to manager Ron Gardenhire.

Alen Hanson Placed On Disabled List, Austin Slater Recalled

The San Francisco Giants have placed second baseman Alen Hanson (hamstring) on the 10-day disabled list with a strained hamstring.

Marwin Gonzalez Slugging Only .286 In May

Houston Astros utility player Marwin Gonzalez continues to struggle this season and is slashing only .214/.267/.286 over his last 42 at-bats.

Jose Altuve Officially Slumping

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is in the midst of a rare slump heading into Monday night's action against the Angels. Over his last 52 at-bats, Altuve is slashing a meager .212/.255/.327 with five extra-base hits and zero home runs. He currently has zero hits over his last 13 at-bats and has been uncharacteristically […]

Lance McCullers Has 1.78 Career ERA Against Angels

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers will take the ball Monday night against the Angels.

Robbie Grossman will start in left field and bat seventh in place of Rosario. Rosario has appeared in 36 games for the Twins in 2018, batting .287 with nine homers, 26 runs, […]

Hunter Dozier Recalled And Starting

The Kansas City Royals have recalled corner infielder/outfielder Hunter Dozier from Triple-A Omaha to fill in for the injured Lucas Duda. Dozier has valuable third base eligibility in most formats, but he'll be filling in at first base while he's up. Dozier is a former top prospect whose window of opportunity is closing due to […]

Lucas Duda Hits The Disabled List

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda (foot) is headed to the disabled list for plantar fasciitis. Duda played in all of Sunday's game without indication of the issue, but it's a condition that can flare up unexpectedly. Such a problem could persist, so it's unclear how long he'll be out at the moment. The […]

Jackie Bradley Back on Bench Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley has had a mighty struggle at the plate so far this year. He is currently mired in a terrible cold slump, which has seen him go 6-for-57 with 27 strikeouts. Bradley is not a fantasy option at this point of the season due to his lack of playing time […]

Brandon Drury Activated from DL, Optioned to Triple-A

MLB.com Yankees writer Bryan Hoch reports that third baseman Brandon Drury (migraines) was activated from the 10-day disabled list on Monday and was then optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Kurt Suzuki Out Of Lineup Monday

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki is not in the lineup Monday against the Chicago Cubs. Tyler Flowers is behind the plate and batting fifth. Suzuki has five home runs and a .820 OPS this season. He is following up the 19 home runs in his 2017 campaign rather nicely. He is one of the better […]

Ian Desmond Still Struggling

Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond continues to be mired in the depths of a terrible offensive season. Desmond went 2-for-24 over the last six games with 10 strikeouts. The only silver lining of Desmond’s offensive woe is that six of his last eight hits have been for extra bases. He’s now hitting just .170, […]

David Dahl Hits Second Homer

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl blasted his second homer of the season on Sunday as he was one of the team’s few bright spots in a loss to Milwaukee. Dahl was the only member of the starting lineup to not log a strikeout, and he knocked in two of the team’s three runs in the […]

Jon Gray Knocked Around By Brewers

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray had been on a roll following a rough start to the season, but his recent good vibes came to a grinding halt against Milwaukee on Sunday.

Bruce Maxwell Wont Travel To Canada With Team

Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell will not travel with the team to Canada due to a pending sentencing, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Maxwell has not been sentenced following his April 13 plea agreement to charges that include gun enhancement. Therefore, he is considered ineligible for entry under Canadian immigration guidelines. […]

Danny Duffy Destroyed By Cleveland

In a strange quirk, Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy became the third Royals pitcher in four games to allow exactly nine earned runs in an outing.

Bubba Starling To Miss Significant Time

Kansas City Royals prospect outfielder Bubba Starling is off to the disabled list once again. Once considered one of the team’s top prospects, Starling has become a specter what could have been.

Franmil Reyes Called Up By Padres

The San Diego Padres have purchased the contract of prospect outfielder Franmil Reyes from Triple-A El Paso. Reyes leads the Pacific Coast League in homers (14), RBI (38) and OPS (1.180) and offers a powerful bat to the Padres scuffling offense. The 22-year-old Reyes has cracked 55 home runs in 301 games in the minor […]
