Asdrubal Cabrera Out, Wilmer Flores In On Wednesday

New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera, arguably the team’s best hitter thus far in 2018, is getting the night off against the St. Louis Cardinals and starting pitcher Michael Wacha. Cabrera is on a five-game hitting streak, though he only picked up one hit during Tuesday’s 6-5 win over the Red Birds – a […]

Curtis Granderson, Devon Travis Out of Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson and second baseman Devon Travis are both out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox.

Ryon Healy Expected Back By End Of The Week

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy (ankle) is expected to return to the lineup this weekend in Cleveland, per MLB.com.

The Baltimore Orioles placed third baseman Tim Beckham (groin) on the 10-day disabled list (retroactive to April 24) with a left groin strain on Wednesday.

Eric Thames Going On DL With Torn Thumb Ligament

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames (thumb) will be placed on the disabled list after an MRI exam showed a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. It's a serious injury that will require surgery and keep the slugging left-hander out for at least two months. Pitcher Brandon Woodruff was recalled from Triple-A Colorado […]

Roldani Baldwin To Head To Salem On Thursday

Boston Red Sox catching prospect Roldani Baldwin (thumb) is scheduled to join High-A Salem on Thursday, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.

Nick Ahmed Not Playing Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed will be out of the lineup on Wedneday against the Phillies. After a strong start to the season, Ahmed has slowed considerably at the plate, collecting just three hits in his last 10 games. Despite his offensive shortcomings, Ahmed rarely gets a day off due to his excellent defense. While […]

Jose Abreu Exits Early With The Flu On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (flu) exited Wednesday’s game versus the Seattle Mariners early with flu-like symptoms. Abreu was replaced by Matt Davidson. Abreu is day-to-day and it is unknown if he will play Thursday versus the Royals.

Alex Avila Not Starting On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Alex Avila is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. It comes one day after his best game of the season where he had three hits, including a home run. Avila has not had a great season, but hopefully his performance Tuesday is a step in the right direction. […]

Mac Williamson Scratched Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson (neck) has been scratched from the lineup Wednesday due to neck stiffness after he crashed into the outfield wall Tuesday. Outfielder Austin Jackson will now start in center field against Nationals starter Max Scherzer. Williamson has done nothing but hit since being called up last week, going 6-for-19 with […]

Xander Bogaerts Likely To Return On Friday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (ankle) is expected to rejoin the Red Sox on Friday, per manager Alex Cora.

Carlos Gonzalez Progressing On DL

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (hamstring) is making progress in his rehab from the disabled list, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post.

Peter Alonso Is Dominating Double-A

New York Mets first base prospect Peter Alonso may have a few guys ahead of him on the depth chart, but he’s certainly making his best case to do some leapfrogging pretty soon. The 23-year-old is dominating Double-A Binghamton, slashing .357/.456/.625 with three home runs, six doubles, and 10 RBI through 16 games thus far. […]

Ryan Zimmerman Sits Wednesday, Andrew Stephenson Starts In Left Field

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not in Wednesday's starting lineup. Matt Adams will play first and bat cleanup in his place. Andrew Stevenson will play in left field and is batting sixth. It's not surprising to see Zimmerman sitting a day game after a night game. Adams hits righties well, so he's a […]

Kyle Freeland Limping Around After Liner Off Foot

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland is apparently limping around and feeling pretty sore from a line drive that went off his heel during his start on Tuesday night, according to manager Bud Black. However, at least he got the great win, and Black didn't seem very concerned about the injury. There's a chance he […]

Joe Musgrove Could Join Pirates Rotation by Early to Mid-May

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Joe Musgrove (shoulder) threw a simulated game on Wednesday and could join the team's starting rotation by early to mid-May if his strained right shoulder reacts well. The Athletic's Rob Biertempfel expects Musgrove to start a rehab assignment soon, though it's not clear how many outings he'll need in the minor leagues before […]

Evan Longoria Resting Wednesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria will have Wednesday afternoon off. Longoria has rebounded after a slow start to the season.

Buster Posey Will Rest Wednesday Versus Nationals

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will get a day of rest Wednesday afternoon versus the Nationals. Posey is in the middle of a slump with a .209 batting average over his last 43 at-bats. Nick Hundley will replace Posey Wednesday and bat eighth. He can be avoided as the Giants face Max Scherzer. Posey […]

Mike Moustakas' Hitting Streak Ends At 14 Games

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas finally got saddled with a hitless showing on Tuesday night. This brought his 14-game hitting streak to a close, and he'll just have to go back to being the best player on the team without a hit streak. Moustakas has been one of the only bright parts of […]

Jon Gray Scheduled To Start On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray is scheduled to take the hill against the Padres for a day game on Wednesday, and he'll be looking once more to right the ship. Gray has been atrocious so far this season. Outside of one bright spot in which he went seven scoreless innings against the Padres back in […]

Tyler Nevin Is Healthy And Performing Well

Colorado Rockies third base prospect Tyler Nevin went 2-for-5 with one run and two RBI for Class A Lancaster on Tuesday. Nevin is now hitting .318 with four doubles, one home run and eight RBI.

Christian Villanueva Sitting, Chase Headley Playing Third Base

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva is sitting Wednesday.

Third baseman Chase Headley will take Villanueva's place in the lineup. Headley is hitting just .088 this season and is 1-for-6 when facing […]

Shohei Ohtani's Blister is Gone

Los Angeles Angels starter Shohei Ohtani's finger now has a callus where the blister was previously. As such, Ohtani does not believe that the blister will be an issue for him the rest of the season. Ohtani was able to throw 5 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on five walks with seven strikeouts on […]

Victor Martinez Limited For Next Three Games

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will be available to pinch hit, but not much else, as the Tigers will be spending the next three games in a National League ballpark. The veteran slugger does not play a defensive position, and will therefore be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective. It's not a bad time […]

JaCoby Jones Batting Fifth Wednesday

The Detroit Tigers red-hot outfielder JaCoby Jones is batting fifth for the Tigers as they take on the Pirates on Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. Over the last seven games, Jones has amassed a .375 average with two homers, five RBI and one stolen base, exciting Tigers fans and fantasy owners in the […]

Christin Stewart Picks Up Four Hits Tuesday

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart went 4-for-5 with a home run on Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo. Stewart is one of the best power bats in the minor leagues and hit 58 home runs over the past two years. Stewart isn’t the strongest defensive player, but his bat should certainly make up for it at the […]

Robinson Cano Has Good History Against White Sox Starter

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano will take his usual place in the lineup Wednesday. In his career, Cano has been extremely successful against Chicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields with a .423 batting average and four home runs in 85 plate appearances. Cano will be one of the more expensive options at second base […]
