J.D. Davis Back In The Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants third baseman J.D. Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 30-year-old was a late scratch from Friday's game due to right hip tightness. He did appear as a pinch-hitter in the contest, so it doesn't sound like a major issue. Davis will cover […]

Carlos Correa Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The slugging infielder was hitless coming into the eighth inning, but came up with the biggest hit of the game. Correa launched a go-ahead grand slam off right-hander Adam Cimber in the eighth inning. The Twins […]

Jarren Duran Sitting Out On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, but is out of the lineup for the second straight game. It looks like the return of Adam Duvall is going to strip away playing […]

Seiya Suzuki Absent On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki is absent from Saturday's starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 28-year-old outfielder. Suzuki is slashing .278/.367/.450 with six home runs and 19 RBI through his first 50 games of the season. Christopher Morel will bat third and cover right […]

Josh Fleming To Visit Specialist Next Week

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Josh Fleming (elbow) is scheduled to visit Dr. Keith Meister next week. There appears to be additional concern here as the Rays have decided to get Fleming's elbow evaluated in person. The fear is that Fleming could be forced to have season-ending Tommy John surgery. Fantasy managers will have to stay […]

Andres Gimenez Absent On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez is absent from Saturday's starting lineup versus the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for the slumping infielder. Gimenez is slashing .241/.304/.352 with three home runs and 17 RBI across 59 games this season. Tyler Freeman will cover second base and bat seventh versus right-hander […]

Vinnie Pasquantino Placed On Injured List

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The left-handed slugger made an early exit during Friday's game due to a right shoulder issue. The organization is unsure how long Pasquantino is going to be sidelined. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for another […]

Anthony Rizzo Out Of The Lineup On Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This appears to be a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. It's a much-needed day off as Rizzo is 1-for-27 across his last seven games since returning from injury. DJ LeMahieu will cover […]

Andrew Painter To Throw Bullpen Session On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Andrew Painter (elbow) is scheduled to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Saturday. The 20-year-old has been shut down since spring training due to UCL sprain in his right elbow. The Phillies have been extremely cautious about bringing back their top pitching prospect. The right-hander figures to spend a few months […]

James Karinchak Optioned To Minors

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher James Karinchak has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. This is a bit of a surprise considering Karinchak has been pitching fairly well this season. He's posting a 3.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 38/19 K/BB ratio across 32 appearances. The expectation is that the 27-year-old will be back on roster […]

Cedric Mullins Has Resumed Baseball Activities

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (groin) has resumed baseball activities at the team's complex in Sarasota, Florida. The 28-year-old hit the injured list back in late May with a groin strain and currently has no timetable for his return. It's nice to hear that he's resumed baseball activities but fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see […]

Tommy Hunter Designated For Assignment

New York Mets relief pitcher Tommy Hunter has been designated for assignment on Saturday. The writing was on the wall with this one as Hunter owned an ugly 6.85 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 20:5 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings (14 appearances) on the year. The Mets made a flurry of other moves on Saturday […]

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder instability on Saturday.

Pasquantino is slashing .247/.324/.437 to go along with nine home […]

Ryan Mountcastle Still Out Of The Lineup

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.

It's been a struggle at the dish over the last three weeks for Mountcastle, […]

Royce Lewis Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is absent from the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a routine day off for the 24-year-old, who's been a solid contributor since his activation from the injured list. He's slashing .270/.270/.459 with two home runs and seven RBI over 37 at-bats this season. Carlos Correa […]

Joey Votto Hits A Home Run In Minor-League Rehab Game

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/designated hitter Joey Votto (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, two walks, and a strikeout in a minor league rehab game with Triple-A Louisville. The 39-year-old has been out all season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and still doesn't have a timetable to return to […]

Gary Sanchez Hitting Cleanup Again Saturday

San Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Saturday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland.

Elly De La Cruz Manning Third Base Against Cardinals

Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Elly De La Cruz is starting at third base and is hitting cleanup on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas.

Edouard Julien Back In The Big Leagues

The Minnesota Twins recalled infield prospect Edouard Julien from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday after placing second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Julien, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is starting at second base and hitting leadoff on Saturday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trevor Richards. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting […]

Jorge Polanco Lands On Injured List Again

The Minnesota Twins placed second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a left-hamstring strain. Polanco tweaked his hamstring on Thursday and will head back to the injured list after recently returning from it for the same injury. It's a disappointing development for the 29-year-old middle infielder, but fantasy managers […]

Tarik Skubal Strikes Out Six In Rehab Start

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal (elbow) made his second minor-league rehab start for High-A West Michigan on Friday night and allowed one unearned run on two hits while walking none and striking out six in three innings pitched.
