He was rumored to be close to resuming baseball activities last week but he apparently is […]

Adam Duvall Will Not Need Surgery On His Wrist

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall (wrist) will not require surgery to repair the broken wrist he suffered during Sunday's contest. Manager Alex Cora told reporters during Monday's postgame press conference that Duvall will not be needing surgery. That being said, Duvall is still expected to miss multiple weeks with the […]

Joe Musgrove Receives Cortisone Shot In Shoulder

San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (toe, shoulder) received a cortisone shot in his right shoulder on Sunday. Musgrove landed awkwardly on his shoulder on a fielding play during a rehab start. The veteran hurler has been out since February with a broken toe and was nearing a return before the shoulder issue. Musgrove is […]

Tony Gonsolin Might Not Be Ready To Return Until May

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (ankle) continues to make slow progress in his recovery from an ankle injury.

He threw a batting practice session on Wednesday but apparently […]

Emmanuel Clase Earns Third Save On Monday

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase tossed a scoreless ninth inning to slam the door on a 3-2 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. Clase finished with two strikeouts without allowing a baserunner in the frame. The star closer needed just 10 pitches to send the Yankees down in order while notching two whiffs […]

Joc Pederson Out Of Monday's Starting Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson is out of Monday's starting lineup versus the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Julio Urias. Pederson will unsurprisingly come out of the lineup against a tough left-handed pitcher as he's made just two of his 36 plate appearances this season against southpaws and owns a career .623 OPS […]

Michael Conforto Out Of Starting Lineup Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto is out of Monday's starting lineup against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Julio Urias. Conforto is off to an excellent start this season after missing all of the 2022 campaign as he's hitting .250 with three homers, one stolen base, and an .872 OPS across nine games […]

Cal Raleigh Sitting Out Monday Versus Cubs

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is out of Monday's starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly. The 26-year-old has appeared in nine of Seattle's first 10 games of the season while starting eight of them. With a healthy, righty-swinging Tom Murphy behind him, Raleigh will get his rest when the Mariners take […]

Alex Call Hitting Out Of Leadoff Spot Again Monday

Washington Nationals outfielder Alex Call is hitting out of the leadoff spot for the fourth consecutive game on Monday as he takes on the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Jose Suarez. Twenty-one of his 36 plate appearances on the season have come against southpaws as the righty-swinging Call has hit .286 with a double and […]

Thairo Estrada Back In Leadoff Spot Monday

San Francisco Giants middle infielder Thairo Estrada is back in the leadoff spot for the second straight game, taking on left-hander Julio Urias and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. It's the ninth start of the season for the righty-swinging 27-year-old but the second straight out of the leadoff spot against a lefty after facing Royals […]

J.T. Realmuto Out Of Starting Lineup Monday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is not in the starting lineup Monday versus Sandy Alcantara and the visiting Miami Marlins. It's the first off day of the season for the veteran backstop who has scuffled to a .226 average with one home run, one stolen base, and a .669 OPS across 32 trips to the […]

David Peralta Drops To Eighth In Lineup Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder David Peralta will drop to eighth in the club's batting order as they take on the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. The lefty-swinging veteran didn't start Friday's or Saturday's contests but returned to the lineup Sunday, hitting third while doubling in a run. Despite facing another righty Monday, the […]

Yoan Moncada Day-To-Day With Back Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is being listed as day-to-day with back soreness. It's why he didn't start in Monday's series opener against the Minnesota Twins. With Moncada out Monday, Hanser Alberto got the start at the hot corner for the White Sox. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Moncada can return […]

Starling Marte Out Against Padres

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (neck) is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting San Diego Padres. Marte will sit out after injuring his neck during a collision on a stolen base on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. The Mets are hoping that the 34-year-old will […]

Gleyber Torres Leading Off On Monday

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is hitting leadoff on Monday against right-hander Shane Bieber and the Cleveland Guardians on the road for the first game of the series. It's the second time that Torres will hit leadoff this year. The 26-year-old middle infielder is off to a hot start offensively with a .357 […]

Jarred Kelenic To Sit Out Versus Left-Hander

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. As expected, Kelenic will get the night off with left-hander Drew Smyly on the mound for the Cubbies. The 23-year-old appears to be in a platoon role, but that's fine as long as he continues to […]

Masataka Yoshida Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-handed slugger missed his first game of the season on Sunday for rest purposes. Now, Yoshida will return to the lineup and play left field while batting cleanup versus lefty Jalen Beeks. The […]

C.J. Cron Back In The Lineup On Monday

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is good news after Cron missed each of the last two games due to flu-like symptoms. The 33-year-old has been hot this season hitting .258 with three home runs and seven RBI through […]

Andrew Painter Plays Catch On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Andrew Painter (elbow) was able to play catch on Monday. This was the first time that the right-hander has been able to throw since suffering a right elbow sprain at the beginning of March. The Phillies have been extremely cautious with their top pitching prospect. He'll likely be eased into bullpen […]

Tyler O'Neill Gets The Day Off

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 27-year-old was recently benched for lack of hustle, but this appears to be a routine rest day. Regardless, Dylan Carlson will cover center field and bat eighth versus righty German Marquez on Monday. Fantasy […]

MJ Melendez To Miss Monday's Game

Kansas City Royals catcher MJ Melendez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. This appears to be a routine day off for the left-handed slugger. The 23-year-old could certainly use it after slashing .152/.263/.303 with one homer, two RBI and a league-leading 15 strikeouts to begin the season. […]

Adam Duvall Has Broken Wrist

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall (wrist) underwent X-rays on Monday after suffering an injury during Sunday's contest. The testing revealed that Duvall has a broken wrist, which means he'll be out for the foreseeable future. The organization is uncertain if Duvall is going to need surgery on his wrist. That being said, his timetable […]

Josh Jung Resting On Monday

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It's a well deserved day off after Jung played in the first nine games to begin the season. He's slashing .229/.270/.429 with a pair of homers and five RBI right now. The 25-year-old should […]

Tim Anderson Exits Early On Monday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) exited Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins early with left knee soreness. Anderson appeared to hurt his knee in a rundown when he attempted to tag out Matt Walner as he ran toward third base. He is currently undergoing further evaluation and the team should provide an update […]

Mitch Garver Heads To The Injured List

Texas Rangers catcher/designated hitter Mitch Garver (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a mild left knee sprain. The 32-year-old backstop shouldn't be on the IL for more than the minimum of 10 days with a "mild" sprain but the team should provide further clarity soon. Sandy Leon has been recalled from […]

Adam Duvall Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day IL with a left wrist injury. The 34-year-old slugger sustained the injury while attempting to make a diving catch in center field during Sunday's 4-1 over the Detroit Tigers. He is undergoing more tests to determine the severity of the issue but […]

Aaron Civale Placed On The 15-Day Injured List

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Aaron Civale (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain. This comes as a bit of a surprise as Civale started against the Mariners just three days ago and didn't appear to injure himself, although he didn't pitch very well. The team hasn't provided an update […]

Oscar Gonzalez Not Starting Against Yankees

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Oscar Gonzalez is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the New York Yankees. Gonzalez has only been in the lineup against one right-handed pitcher (Seattle's Logan Gilbert twice), and he's gone 5-for-31 (.161) with a triple, no homers, no RBI and three runs scored in his first eight games of […]

Kevin Smith Called Up By A's

The Oakland Athletics called up infielder Kevin Smith from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday after the team placed outfielder Seth Brown (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique. It remains to be seen how much playing time Smith will actually get in Oakland, but he could see some starts at third […]

Sam Hilliard Starting On The Bench

Atlanta Braves outfielder Sam Hilliard is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. Hilliard has become the team's starting center fielder with Michael Harris II (back) on the injured list, but he'll take a seat for some rest on Monday. The 29-year-old has gone 5-for-15 (.333) to begin […]
