Brooks Raley Headed To Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Brooks Raley (elbow) was placed on the 15-day IL with inflammation in his throwing elbow. Raley's stint will be back-dated to April 28. It's a tough blow for the Mets and fantasy managers that use Raley for holds will have to look elsewhere for the time being. He had racked […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Has Good News With Recent MRI

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) had an MRI recently that showed "nothing structurally alarming" with his elbow.

Tyler Glasnow Cleared For Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment within the next week. Glasnow threw a two-inning live bullpen session Saturday and everything looked good.

The 31-year-old left early during Friday's game due to left shoulder soreness. Manager Kevin Cash said afterwards that Diaz is fine going forward, but would likely sit out on Saturday. That being said, fantasy […]

Tyler O'Neill Returning On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was scratched from the lineup on Friday due to back tightness. However, it appears he's feeling better now as he'll bat sixth and play left field versus lefty Clayton Kershaw on Saturday. Fantasy […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez was removed early during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's uncertain what happened as Rodriguez was removed for A.J. Pollock in the sixth inning. The team hasn't given any information on why Rodriguez was taken out, so it's assumed he's dealing with some kind of injury. The Mariners […]

Andrew Benintendi Sitting Out On Saturday

White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Benintendi is dealing with some minor elbow soreness. Benintendi underwent precautionary X-rays, but they came back negative.

Mauricio Dubon Cemented In The Leadoff Spot

Houston Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubon is leading off Saturday's game against Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies. The former 26th-rounder first led off on April 15, and that's been his permanent spot ever since.

Nathan Eovaldi Toeing The Rubber Saturday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to make his sixth start of the season on Saturday against Jhony Brito and the New York Yankees.

Shea Langeliers Taking A Trip To The Bench Saturday

Oakland Athletics backstop Shea Langeliers is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old has shown solid power over his first 24 games in 2023, slashing .233/.298/.488 with six home runs, 13 runs, and 16 RBI. Carlos Perez will do the catching duties and bat cleanup in […]

Jake Fraley Starting Saturday's Game On The Bench

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley will begin Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics on the bench. The former Seattle Mariner is slashing .230/.333/.351 with two bombs, nine runs, 14 RBI, and three stolen bases over 24 games. With left-hander Kyle Muller taking the ball for the A's, it makes sense to sit Fraley, who owns […]

TJ Friedl Not In Saturday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl is absent from the starting lineup for Saturday's contest with the Oakland Athletics. The 27-year-old has been productive with the bat, slashing .303/.357/.438 with a pair of homers and stolen bases, and has added eight runs and 11 RBI through 26 games. But with left-hander Kyle Muller on the hill […]

It's his second day off in three days, and he's slashing just .228/.279/.354 with two home runs, 10 runs, and eight RBI, but has swiped four bags across 26 games. Garrett Hampson is taking over at […]

Avisail Garcia Absent From Saturday's Starting Lineup

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia is missing from Saturday's lineup for the game against the Chicago Cubs. The one-time All-Star has been miserable at the dish, slashing .188/.243/.333 with three bombs, six runs, eight RBI, and one steal over 22 games. With Garcia on the bench, it will be Jesus Sanchez who takes his place […]

Garrett Cooper Getting A Breather Saturday

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper is absent from the lineup for Saturday's matchup with Caleb Kilian and the Chicago Cubs. The 32-year-old is slashing .267/.302/.411 with three home runs over 23 games but is just two for his last 19. Yuli Gurriel will take Cooper's spot on the field and bat cleanup. The two-time […]

Whit Merrifield Not In Saturday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/outfielder is not in Saturday's starting lineup to take on Easton McGee and The Seattle Mariners. The veteran of eight seasons is in the midst of a bounce-back season, slashing .324/.383/.423 with four steals, 10 runs, and 10 RBI over 20 games. Cavan Biggio will man second base in Merrifield's absence. […]

Alejandro Kirk Getting Saturday Off

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is taking a seat on the bench to start Saturday's contest against Easton McGee and the Seattle Mariners. The 24-year-old is running a .263/.419/.386 slash line with two homers, seven runs, and 10 RBI across 20 games. Danny Jansen will replace Alejandro behind the plate and bat seventh. The […]

Chris Flexen Removed From Starting Rotation

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Chris Flexen has been removed from the starting rotation. The 28-year-old hurler has been nothing short of a disaster for Seattle after he took the injured Robbie Ray's place in the starting rotation. He posted a miserable 8.86 ERA, 1.97 WHIP, and 14:11 K/BB ratio over 21 1/3 innings (five games, […]

Cristian Pache Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee injury.
