Adrian Houser To Start On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser will make the start against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The right-hander will step up and fill in with Freddy Peralta having his start pushed back. It sounds like the plan is for Peralta to get extra rest and take the mound on Tuesday. Houser won't be a recommended […]

Triston Casas Gets First Career Hit

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas accomplished a big milestone during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old recorded his first hit of his major league career. It was an infield chopper in the fifth inning off lefty reliever John King. The expectation is that Casas should play basically everyday against right-handed pitching. […]

Michael Pineda Gets Designated For Assignment

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Pineda has been designated for assignment by the organization. This shouldn't come as a surprise as the Tigers want to look at younger players during the final month of the season. Pineda has been awful with a 5.79 ERA and 1.41 WHIP on the season. Despite that, Pineda has put […]

Aaron Judge Collects Three Hits In Victory

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has put together an incredible season in 2022. The righty slugger appears to be the Yankees only reliable source of offense at the moment. On Sunday, Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run and a double in the 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. This home run notched […]

Max Fried Posts Strong Outing On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried has been fantastic this season and continued his success on Sunday. The left-hander went five scoreless innings during Sunday's win over the Miami Marlins. Fried struck out six hitters and retired 14 of the 15 batters he faced during this contest. The 28-year-old has allowed three earned runs or […]

Miles Mikolas Tosses Eight Scoreless Innings

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas posted a stellar performance against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. The right-hander allowed only two hits on the day, while going eight scoreless innings. This marked the third time this season that Mikolas has thrown eight innings while allowing two hits or less. The 34-year-old has 19 quality […]

Jonathan India Exits Early During Sunday's Game

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India (leg) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 25-year-old was taken out of the game after fouling a ball off his leg. He looked to be in pain afterwards, but was likely removed as a precaution. The expectation is that he'll undergo further testing and imaging […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Sunday

San Diego Padres infielder Brandon Drury (head) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was pulled out of Friday's contest after getting hit in the helmet by a pitch. Drury hasn't played since then, so hopefully this isn't anything too serious. Josh Bell will serve as the […]

Michael Kopech Throws Bullpen Session On Sunday

Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech (knee) was able to throw a successful bullpen session on Sunday. The right-hander has been sidelined two weeks, but is eligible to return on Wednesday. The White Sox already optioned Davis Martin who was taking Kopech's spot in the rotation. The assumption is that Kopech is ready to return […]

Andrew Benintendi Will Require Surgery

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) is likely going to be sidelined throughout the rest of the regular season. This is the worst case scenario for the young outfielder who suffered a hand injury on Friday. The results came back and Benintendi has broke the hook of the hamate bone in his right hand. […]

Scott Barlow Earns 21st Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow continued his successful season against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The right-hander tossed a percent ninth inning to earn his 21st save of the season. The Royals don't do a ton of winning, but Barlow shuts down opposing teams when given the chance. This season, Barlow has converted […]

Christian Yelich Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is not in the lineup on Sunday vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yelich has now missed three straight games after exiting Thursday's contest vs. the D-Backs early with neck discomfort. Milwaukee is hoping he can avoid the injured list but fantasy managers still need to consider him day-to-day. The 30-year-old […]

Ketel Marte Is Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) is absent from the starting lineup on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 28-year-old veteran has been dealing with some hamstring tightness so this is just a routine day off to give him some rest. Josh Rojas is taking over at the keystone and Emmanuel Rivera is sliding […]

Alex Bregman Sitting Out On Sunday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is not in the lineup on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to just be a routine day off for the veteran third baseman, who's slashing .265/.369/.471 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI over 456 at-bats on the year. David Hensley is batting seventh and taking […]

Yordan Alvarez Returns To The Lineup On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) is back in the lineup on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old power bat has missed the last five games with hand discomfort but he's back in the lineup on Sunday. He's starting in left field and batting third against Angels starter Tucker Davidson. Alvarez is […]

Nick Castellanos Lands On The Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. The 30-year-old outfielder suffered the injury on Friday against the Giants and should be out a few weeks. He had been in and out of the lineup over the last 10 days while dealing with turf […]

Luis Robert Activated From The Paternity List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert has been activated from the paternity list on Sunday. The 25-year-old was away from the team for a few days for the birth of his child but he's still absent from the starting lineup on Sunday vs. the Twins. He's been bothered by a wrist injury that's kept him […]

Tyler Mahle Heads Back To The Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The 27-year-old righty was just activated from the IL on Saturday and started against the White Sox before exiting after two innings with the same shoulder injury. This is clearly a recurring issue for Mahle and with […]

Ramon Laureano Expected To Rejoin The A's On Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) could potentially rejoin the team on Tuesday for their series opener against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old outfielder has been out since August 14 due to a left oblique strain but started in right field for High-A Stockton for his minor league rehab assignment on Saturday. He's suiting up […]

Willson Contreras Remains Absent From Lineup

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) is still absent from the starting lineup on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 30-year-old backstop has now missed four straight games with left ankle discomfort. It still looks like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list but it's anyone's guess as to when he'll return to […]
