Joey Votto Homers, Plates Three In Season Debut

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto had a memorable return from the injured list in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. The veteran went 2-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, three RBI, and a walk. While it was a great homecoming, Votto's fantasy value remains up in the air. He struggled in his […]

Alexis Diaz Notches 19th Save Of Season Monday

Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz picked up another save in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. Diaz came in to pitch the ninth inning up by one. He allowed back-to-back singles, putting the tying run on third, but then allowed back-to-back strikeouts and a groundout to end the game. The 26-year-old has been stellar for […]

Henry Davis Doubles In MLB Debut

Pittsburgh Pirates catching prospect Henry Davis had a memorable big-league debut in Monday's 8-0 loss to the Cubs. The 23-year-old got the start in right field, going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a strikeout. Davis is the team's third-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline. He has hit well in both Double-A Altoona and Triple-A […]

Josh Jung Hits 13th Homer Of Season Monday

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung had another solid game at the plate in Monday's 5-2 win over the White Sox. The 25-year-old rookie went 3-for-5 with two singles and a solo home run, his 13th of the season. Jung has proven why he was considered a top prospect this season, slashing .284/.339/.509 with 44 […]

William Smith Earns 13th Save Of Season Monday

Texas Rangers closer William Smith picked up his 13th save of the season in Monday's 5-2 win over the White Sox. Smith came in to pitch the ninth inning up by three. He allowed a leadoff walk followed by a single, got the first two outs on a strikeout and a lineout, allowed the runners […]

Hunter Brown Gets Shelled In Monday's Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown did not have his best stuff in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Mets. Brown pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits (including two home runs) and two walks with seven strikeouts. While this outing was one to forget, the 24-year-old has had a solid season overall, […]

Max Scherzer Rebounds With Gem Monday

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer looked like his old self in Monday's 11-1 win over the Astros. Scherzer pitched eight innings, allowing one run on four hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with eight strikeouts. This performance was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as the veteran had struggled in […]

X-Rays Negative On Francisco Alvarez's Hand

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (hand) exited Monday's 11-1 win over the Astros early after taking a foul ball directly off his right hand/wrist. He stayed in temporarily before leaving, going 1-for-3 with a single, a walk, and a strikeout. Manager Buck Showalter said after the game that X-rays came back negative and that […]

Romy Gonzalez Placed On 10-Day Injured List Monday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation, per Chicago Sun Times' Daryl Van Schouwen. Infielder Jose Rodriguez was recalled from Double-A Birmingham in a corresponding move. Gonzalez has struggled mightily at the plate this season, slashing .194/.208/.376 with three home runs, 14 […]

Lance Lynn Placed On Bereavement List Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (bereavement) was placed on the bereavement list Monday, per Chicago Sun Times' Daryl Van Schouwen. Right-hander Nick Padilla was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. The move comes one day after Lynn turned in an excellent 16-strikeout performance. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for […]

Daniel Vogelbach Back In The Lineup Monday

New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach will return to the starting lineup Monday night versus the Houston Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown. Vogelbach didn't start on Sunday but went hitless in a pinch-hitting appearance while he's been given some additional time off of late during some struggles at the plate. The 30-year-old is hitting […]

Ha-Seong Kim Returns on Monday

San Diego Padres second baseman Ha-Seong Kim is back in the starting lineup Monday night against the rival San Francisco Giants. Kim mostly got the afternoon off on Sunday, entering the game as a defensive replacement for fellow second baseman Rougned Odor but did not get a chance to make a trip to the plate. […]

Gary Sanchez Back Behind The Plate On Monday

San Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez is back in the starting lineup on Monday, hitting sixth against the Giants' Ryan Walker. Sanchez didn't start Sunday's series finale with the Tampa Bay Rays but did enter the game as a pinch-hitter, only to strike out in his lone plate appearance on the afternoon. The former Yankee […]

Ketel Marte Re-Enters Starting Lineup Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (back) is back in the starting lineup Monday night against the Milwaukee Brewers. Marte has been in and out of the lineup of late due to a back issue, but following a day off on Sunday, he will return Monday evening to take on one of the game's best […]

Hunter Greene Lands On The Injured List

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right hip pain. The move is retroactive to Sunday while the club activated first baseman Joey Votto from the 60-day injured list on Monday as well. Finally, right-hander Kevin Herget was designated for assignment to make room for Votto on […]

Josh Rojas Sent To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned infielder Josh Rojas to Triple-A Reno after Sunday's game. In a corresponding move, the D-backs recalled outfielder Alek Thomas from Reno. Rojas had fallen out of favor in Arizona's lineup of late and will now head to the farm to work on his offense. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting infielder was sporting a […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. To Begin Rehab Assignment This Week

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (foot) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this week. That is great news, considering Chisholm has been sidelined since mid-May due to a turf toe issue. The organization didn't say which day he would return, but he's expected to begin game action this week. He'll likely need […]

Justin Turner Resting On Monday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Justin Turner is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Fantasy managers don't need to be concerned as this appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran infielder. Masataka Yoshida will function as the designated hitter, while Triston Casas covers first base versus […]

Alejandro Kirk Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. This doesn't come as a shock after Kirk was removed from Sunday's game due to a left hand laceration and contusion. The good news is, the X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he appears to have […]

Miguel Amaya Absent Versus Pirates

Chicago Cubs rookie catcher Miguel Amaya (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is a bit concerning after Amaya was hit by a pitch in the hand during Sunday's game. It's possible the Cubs are just giving Amaya an extra day to rest. Fantasy managers should stay […]

Tim Anderson Remains Out On Monday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Anderson will now miss his second game in a row after exiting early on Saturday due to shoulder soreness. The White Sox didn't place him on the injured list yet, so the assumption is that […]

Alek Thomas Recalled On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas has been recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday. He returns to the majors following a minor league stint after struggling with the D-Backs to open the season. Thomas slashed .195/.252/.327 with two homers and three steals during his first stint with the D-Backs. The 23-year-old went down to the minors […]

Joey Votto Activated And Starting Monday

The Cincinnati Reds activated first baseman Joey Votto (biceps, shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Monday, and he will be making his season debut against the Colorado Rockies and left-hander Austin Gomber. "I feel much more like myself," Votto said. In 22 total minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Louisville, the 39-year-old left-handed slugger hit […]
