Tylor Megill Starting Monday's Game

New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill is getting the start in Monday's Game 2 of the doubleheader against Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves. The 27-year-old hasn't lived up to the promise he showed in 2022, as he's paired a 3.96 ERA with a disappointing 17.3% strikeout rate, 10.9% walk rate, and 1.48 WHIP across […]

Blake Snell Looking To Start Fresh Monday

San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell will take the hill for Monday's matchup with the Cincinnati Reds. He'll be hoping to start showing some positive results, as he's pitched to an 0-4 record, 5.48 ERA, and a 1.87 WHIP so far through five starts (23 innings). Snell's strikeout rate is down to 23.9%, and his […]

Ben Brown Promoted To Triple-A

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Ben Brown was promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa over the weekend. Brown earned the promotion early in the season by being downright stingy in four starts for Tennessee. In 20 innings pitched, he allowed two runs (one earned) on 13 hits (one home run) while walking six and fanning […]

Taj Bradley - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Taj Bradley, SP, Tampa Bay Rays ANALYSIS: If you have Bradley, I'd be holding unless you play in a shallower league. In three starts with the Rays, Bradley compiled an impressive 3.52 ERA, 2.29 xERA, 0.91 WHIP, 38.3% strikeout rate, and 35% K-BB rate. He was missing bats at a high clip with both his […]

Codi Heuer Could Return In Mid-June

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Codi Heuer (elbow) has been getting consistent work during simulated games in Arizona, with his last session coming on Saturday. He resumed facing hitters on April 11 after having Tommy John surgery on March 7 of last year. Heuer missed all of last season, but barring any setbacks, he estimated this […]

Kyle Hendricks To Make Another Rehab Start Tuesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks (shoulder) is scheduled for another minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday. Hendricks threw 54 pitches in his first rehab start on April 27, which was his first affiliated game since July 5 of last year. He was unsurprisingly rusty, allowing six runs on six hits while walking […]

Jameson Taillon To Throw Another Bullpen Tuesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (groin) threw a bullpen session on Saturday, which marked his first time back on a mound since landing on the injured list with a left-groin strain. He's scheduled to throw off the mound again on Tuesday. Taillon missed his start on April 20 after being diagnosed with a "mild […]

Brandon Hughes On The Shelf Again

The Chicago Cubs placed left-hander Brandon Hughes (knee) on the 15-day injured list on Saturday and recalled right-hander Caleb Kilian from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. Kilian was then optioned to Iowa on Sunday after making a spot start against the Marlins on Saturday to make room for left-hander Ryan Borucki. Hughes started the […]

Bryce Miller To Make MLB Debut Tuesday

The Seattle Mariners are calling up right-hander Bryce Miller from Double-A Arkansas to make his major-league debut in a start against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday, according to multiple sources. Miller was the team's fourth-round pick in 2021 and will be the fifth player from that draft class to debut so far in 2023. Miller […]

Yankees Hoping Luis Severino Can Return In 2-3 Weeks

The New York Yankees are hopeful that starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) will be back in their starting rotation within the next two to three weeks, according to manager Aaron Boone. Severino is slated to start a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Tampa later this week, and barring any setbacks down on the farm, he […]

Decision On Aaron Judge Coming Soon

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team will make a decision within the next couple of hours about whether to put outfielder Aaron Judge (hip) on the injured list. Judge hasn't played since last Thursday, when he had an awkward head-first slide into third base that led to right-hip discomfort. Even if he […]

Paul Sewald Picks Up Another Win

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald picked up his second win of the season in the team's 10-8 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in 10 innings on Sunday. Sewald came on in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game tied and allowed one hit, no runs and a walk in his inning […]

Jesus Aguilar Hits Fifth Home Run Sunday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 2-for-4 with his fifth home run of the season, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in the team's 5-4 win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. While there isn't much fantasy upside from a counting-stats perspective with A's hitters, Aguilar has been solid in the […]

Jordan Walker - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Walker, OF, St. Louis Cardinals ANALYSIS: Is it disappointing to see the Cardinals send Jordan Walker down to Triple-A? Obviously. Should they probably make a trade to free up some space in their crowded outfield? Absolutely. But for now, we'll have to wait for Walker to make his return. Honestly, I don't have […]

Stephen Nogosek Back From Injured List

The New York Mets reinstated right-hander Stephen Nogosek (elbow) from the 15-day injured list on Monday. In a corresponding move, right-hander Jose Butto was sent back to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. Nogosek is returning from a left elbow bruise after a minimum stay on the injured list. The 28-year-old tossed three innings in a minor-league […]

Raisel Iglesias Expected To Return This Week

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) threw a scoreless inning with a strikeout in his latest minor-league rehab outing for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. He also appeared last Thursday and has thrown two perfect innings so far. Iglesias should come off the injured list and rejoin the Braves bullpen this week. It's not exactly clear […]

Alex Kirilloff Reinstated From IL, Optioned To Triple-A

The Minnesota Twins reinstated first baseman/outfielder Alex Kirilloff (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul. Kirilloff has been rehabbing from surgery on his wrist that he had last August. While he won't make his 2023 debut just yet, the 25-year-old left-handed hitter has already played in 11 […]

Carlos Carrasco Could Rejoin Rotation Next Week

New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) is making progress and could be inserted back into the starting rotation next week. The 36-year-old right-hander has been recovering from a small bone chip in his right elbow that landed him on the injured list a few weeks ago. If Carrasco […]

Justin Verlander Likely To Start Thursday

Due to some weather concerns this week in Detroit, New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer is likely to be moved back to start on Wednesday, with right-hander Justin Verlander (shoulder) making his Mets debut on Thursday. Left-hander Joey Lucchesi will likely get the nod on Tuesday. Verlander will be activated from the 15-day injured […]

Michael Harris II Hitting Eighth In Game 1 Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is starting in center field and is hitting eighth in the lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the New York Mets and right-hander Denyi Reyes.
