Brandon Lowe Taking A Seat On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lowe will be taking a seat against left-handed starter Clayton Kershaw. Taylor Walls is starting at second base and Harold Ramirez is handling designated hitter duties. Lowe is slashing a lackluster .203/.297/.405 to go along […]

Josh Lowe Sitting On Saturday Against Dodgers

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. As has been the case all season, Lowe is on the bench against a left-handed pitcher. Clayton Kershaw is getting the start in this one but Lowe could come off the bench later in the contest […]

Daniel Lynch Slated To Start On Sunday Against The Nationals

Kansas City Royals left-handed pitcher Daniel Lynch (shoulder) will start on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. The 26-year-old will be making his season debut after going down in spring training with a rotator cuff strain. Lynch has looked sharp in his minor league starts at Triple-A Omaha. He put together a rough 5-13 record, 5.13 […]

James Outman Absent From The Starting Lineup On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. This looks to just be a day off for the 26-year-old who's slashing just .156/.235/.267 over the last 15 games. Mookie Betts is starting in right field, Jason Heyward is in center, and David Peralta is in […]

Anthony Santander Getting The Day Off On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. This is just a day off for the 28-year-old slugger who should be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Texas. Ryan McKenna is starting in right field in his place and batting eighth against Andrew Heaney.

Dinelson Lamet Pitches Well In Rehab Start

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (back) allowed just two hits and no runs while punching out six and issuing one walk over 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his minor league rehab start for Triple-A Albuquerque. This is newsworthy as Lamet is expected to join the Rockies' starting rotation next week. Lamet was electric earlier […]

Randy Vasquez Optioned To Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

New York Yankees starting pitcher Randy Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after making his major league debut on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Vasquez allowed a pair of runs on four hits to go along with six strikeouts and three walks over 4 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old will get another chance with the […]

Eloy Jimenez Could Return To The Team As Soon As Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy) could return to the team as early as Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, per manager Pedro Grifol. This is encouraging news for the White Sox and fantasy managers alike. Jimenez has appeared in three games on his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham and hasn't suffered any […]

Zach Davies Will Be Activated And Start On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zach Davies (oblique) will be activated from the IL on Saturday and will start against the Boston Red Sox. The 30-year-old right-hander has been out since April 9 with a left oblique strain. It's to be determined which current D-Backs starter will be demoted from the starting rotation but we should […]

Vince Velasquez Activated From The IL, Will Start Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Vince Velasquez (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. The 30-year-old hurler missed three weeks with right elbow inflammation but he's ready to go for Saturday's tilt in Seattle. Velasquez had quietly put together a great first season with the Pirates, recording […]

Jacob deGrom Mixes In Offspeed Pitches In Latest Bullpen

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session on Friday in Baltimore, and manager Bruce Bochy said he "felt fine" while mixing in sliders and changeups for the first time since suffering from right-elbow inflammation. The Rangers will continue to evaluate deGrom, and they'll have a clearer picture of his timetable […]

Grayson Rodriguez Sent To Triple-A

The Baltimore Orioles optioned rookie right-hander Grayson Rodriguez to Triple-A Norfolk after Friday's game and recalled left-hander Keegan Akin from Norfolk in a corresponding move. Rodriguez has really struggled this month and is now 2-2 with a 7.35 ERA (5.94 FIP), 1.72 WHIP, 21 walks and 56 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings over his first […]

Carlos Correa Sitting Out, Joey Gallo Returns Saturday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) is out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Meanwhile, first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) is back in there, starting at first base and batting leadoff against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Correa is battling plantar fasciitis in his foot and missed a few games […]

Anthony Volpe Hitting In Nine-Hole Against Padres

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe has been dropped to ninth in the batting order on Saturday against right-hander Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres. Volpe earned himself the starting shortstop gig to open the 2023 season because of an impressive spring training, but he's starting to really struggle at the plate. The […]

Javier Baez Starting On The Bench Saturday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez will start on the bench on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. It will be the first time that Baez isn't in the team's starting lineup in a month, so it's just a regular day of rest. So far in the month of May, the 30-year-old free-swinger has gone 22-for-92 […]

Luis Robert Jr. Out Against Tigers

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. Robert dealt with tightness in his hip earlier in the week and didn't play on Wednesday, but this looks to be just a normal day of rest for the oft-injured outfielder. In the two games […]

Ha-Seong Kim Returns To Lineup Saturday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday and is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against the New York Yankees and right-hander Luis Severino. Kim is starting at the 6 with Xander Bogaerts dealing with some wrist soreness. Kim fouled a ball off his left knee on […]

Xander Bogaerts Out With Wrist Soreness

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) is out of the lineup on Saturday against the New York Yankees with wrist soreness. It's unknown if the injury is serious enough to potentially land Bogaerts on the injured list, but it could help explain why he's hit just .195 (16-for-82) with only one home run and […]

Jordan Romano Registers His 11th Save On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jordan Romano closed out Friday's 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. The 30-year-old threw one inning, giving up one hit without a walk or a strikeout, earning his 11th save of the season. Romano has remained a top closer in baseball this season, sporting a 3.15 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 28.2% […]

Chad Kuhl Picks Up His First Career Save Friday

Washington Nationals right-hander Chad Kuhl, who recently moved to the bullpen, earned his first career save on Friday when his team beat the Kansas City Royals 12-10. He recorded the final five outs of the game, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out two. Over seven appearances and five starts, Kuhl owns an […]
