Jimmy Nelson Suffers Setback

According to manager Dave Roberts, Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jimmy Nelson (elbow) will be shut down for throwing for "about 10 days." While the skipper couldn't elaborate on the situation, he did note that Nelson needs to restart his rehab process once he's given the green light to resume. The 33-year-old hasn't pitched at the […]

Walker Buehler Throwing Off A Mound

According to Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts, right-hander Walker Buehler (elbow) is throwing off a mound. The 28-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in August and began throwing in March, so he's moving in the right direction. He went 6-3 last season (12 starts), amassing a 4.02 ERA with 58 strikeouts. Since nobody knows for […]

Luis Campusano Undergoes Thumb Surgery

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano (thumb) underwent surgery to repair a ligament in his left thumb on Friday. He's anticipated to be out for at least eight weeks. The 24-year-old injured the thumb back in April and landed on the 10-day injured list as a result. However, things haven't gone in the right direction, […]

James Outman Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-handed slugger will receive a rare off day here. It seems like a good time with left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for San Diego. Outman has been hot to start the season, hitting […]

Salvador Perez Scratched On Friday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (vision) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran backup was removed from the lineup due to vision related issues. Royals manager Matt Quatraro mentioned Perez underwent some treatment to help with his vision problem. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so hopefully […]

Bryan Woo Loses Perfect Game Bid In Seventh inning

Seattle Mariners No. 6 ranked prospect Bryan Woo took a perfect game into the seventh inning during his most recent outing for Double-A Arkansas. Woo finished with seven scoreless innings, surrendering two hits with seven strikeouts.

Nico Hoerner Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 9. The 25-year-old suffered the left hamstring strain on Tuesday, but the team was hopeful he'd be able to avoid going on the injured list. Unfortunately, Hoerner hasn't progressed as well as the organization hoped. They'll opt to […]

Wander Franco Back In The Lineup On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. He returns here after exiting early during Thursday's game due to neck tightness. Luckily, it was a minor issue and Franco is back in the lineup on Friday. He'll bat second and play shortstop […]

Yoan Moncada Activated, Starting On Friday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

Drew Rasmussen Placed On 60-Day Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen (elbow) has been placed on the 60-day injured list. This is shocking news after Rasmussen seemed fine after throwing seven scoreless innings on Thursday. The Rays have already placed Rasmussen on the 60-day injured list, which is never a good sign. Team president of baseball operations Erik Neander […]

George Springer Returns To Friday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Spencer Strider. Springer is starting in right field and hitting in his usual leadoff spot. The 33-year-old has been battling a viral illness and missed the last two games, but he'll be back in […]

Red Sox Acquire Pablo Reyes From A's

The Boston Red Sox acquired minor-league infielder Pablo Reyes from the Oakland Athletics on Friday in exchange for cash considerations.

Rays Claim Zack Littell Off Waivers From Red Sox

The Tampa Bay Rays claimed right-hander Zack Littell off waivers from the Boston Red Sox on Friday, according to a source.

Cleavinger suffered a season-ending torn right ACL last weekend. […]

Max Scherzer Throws Bullpen, Likely To Start Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (neck) threw around 35 pitches in his first bullpen session on Friday since being scratched from his start on Tuesday due to neck spasms. Scherzer finished his bullpen with one of his usual fist pumps, so it appears to have gone well and he'll likely take the mound […]

TJ Friedl Not Ready To Return

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl (side) is not in the team's starting lineup against right-hander Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins on Friday. Friedl tweaked his side while taking a swing in Thursday's game against the New York Mets and will remain out to start the series against Miami. For now, fantasy managers should consider […]

Anthony Volpe Hitting Seventh Against Tampa

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe has been moved down to seventh in the batting order for Friday's showdown against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-handed opener Trevor Kelley. Volpe had been serving as the team's leadoff hitter since April 15, but a drop in production has earned him a drop down the Yankees' […]

Cal Raleigh Sitting Out Friday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is not in the team's starting lineup against a left-handed hurler on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Raleigh is a switch-hitting backstop, but he has only made two starts so far in 2023 against southpaws. With Raleigh starting on the bench on Friday, Tom Murphy will get the nod behind […]

Jeimer Candelario Returns Against Mets

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (ankle) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against right-hander Tylor Megill and the New York Mets. He's starting at the hot corner and batting sixth in the lineup. Candelario hurt his ankle while sliding in Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants and had to be removed […]

Juan Yepez Moves Up In Batting Order

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez has hit his way up the batting order. In five games, Yepez is hitting .316/.350/.474 with one homer and one RBI this season. It's a small sample size, but the Cardinals will ride with the hot bat. Yepez will move into the five spot and cover left field against […]

Julio Rodriguez Hitting Third Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez is starting in center field and is hitting third in the batting order on Friday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Matthew Boyd. The slumping Rodriguez was moved out of the leadoff spot for the first time this year and into the six-hole on Wednesday against a right-hander, but he'll […]

Rafael Devers Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Chase Anderson Claimed By Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have claimed starting pitcher Chase Anderson off waivers on Friday. The right-hander was recently designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays. The 35-year-old has bounced around quite a bit over the last few years. It's worth noting that Anderson threw five scoreless innings over two relief appearances with the Rays. It's […]

Max Scherzer To Continue Being Monitored

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (neck) won't take the mound for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. The veteran starter is dealing with a neck issue, but it's not believed to be serious. However, the Mets are concerned about Scherzer's shoulder issue. It is being reported that this scapula issue will need to […]

Tylor Megill To Start On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill will be tasked with taking the mound against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The Mets had each starter listed as TBA coming into this series. That makes sense considering the uncertainty over Max Scherzer's availability right now. Megill has been disappointing through seven starts this season. He gave […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Eury Perez is making his long-awaited major-league debut Friday.

Josh Fleming Set For Bulk Role Friday

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming is expected to work the bulk innings against the New York Yankees on Friday after right-hander Trevor Kelley opens up the ballgame for the Rays. For fantasy purposes, Fleming is much more attractive, albeit in a dicey matchup in the Bronx. Each of Fleming's last three appearances for Tampa […]

Taj Bradley's Struggles At Triple-A Continue

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Taj Bradley's struggles at Triple-A Durham continued on Thursday, when he allowed four runs on seven hits (two homers surrendered) while walking one and striking out two in only 3 1/3 innings of work.
