He has missed […]

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) returned to the lineup on Saturday after missing the previous contest.

Contreras is hitting .275/.396/.519 with nine homers, 22 RBI this season. Fantasy managers […]

Tyler O'Neill Blasts Homer In Rehab Game

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) appears to be getting back into a groove at the plate. On Saturday, the young outfielder went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during a minor league rehab game in Triple-A. It sounds like O'Neill is ready to return, but Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol mentioned O'Neill won't be […]

Mike Trout Hitless On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout continues his longest slump of his career. On Saturday, the superstar outfielder went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Kershaw has been sidelined […]

Brendan Donovan Drives In Four Runs

The Cardinals should continue to find places for […]

Caleb Kilian Looks Solid Against Cardinals

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Caleb Kilian made his MLB debut on Saturday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. This was a tough task for the 25-year-old against a tough lineup.

Dylan Cease Struggles With Command

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease struggled to find the strike zone during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The young righty has been fairly reliable this season, but unsurprisingly struggled with his command. On Saturday, Cease only went 4 2/3 innings due to the fact that he walked seven batters. He only […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore looked sharp during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The young-hander went six innings, three hits allowed, and struck out 10 batters during the 4-0 win. Gore has gone 13 innings straight without allowing a run.

He was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday but ultimately was dealt to Seattle on Saturday. The 28-year-old owns a 9.95 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with eight strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in 2022. Mike Ford was […]

Eddie Rosario Takes BP On Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (eye) has been hitting in the cage and throwing. He was placed on the 10-day injured list in late April after undergoing a laser procedure to correct blurred vision and swelling in his right retina. The 30-year-old regained full sight in his right eye two weeks ago. There is no […]

Max Scherzer Downplays Hand Injury

New York Mets pitcher Max Scherzer said that his rehab wouldn't be delayed after being bitten by one of his dogs on his right hand. He took one day off from throwing and could long toss the next day. "This will have no effect on my rehab, and this is literally a non-story," said Scherzer. […]

James McCann On Track To Return In Early July

According to New York Mets manager Buck Showalter, catcher James McCann (wrist) is about a month away from returning. He will begin taking dry swings within the next couple of days and is on track to return in about a month. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since May 11 with a fracture of the hamate […]

Willy Adames Expected To Return Tuesday Against The Phillies

The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to activate shortstop Willy Adames (ankle, quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He completed his rehab assignment and is to travel back to Milwaukee and rejoin the team Saturday. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since May 15th due to an ankle sprain. His return will push Luis Urias […]

Jacob deGrom Throws Bullpen Session Saturday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom threw 19 pitches, all fastballs, off a mound on Saturday. This is great news and a significant step in deGrom's recovery from a stress reaction in his scapula. Although there remains no timetable for the Mets ace, he is progressing at a good rate and could begin a […]

Matt Swarmer Impressive Again Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matt Swarmer threw a solid six innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, surrendering only one run on two hits, while striking out five and walking two. After an excellent start to his season in AAA, compiling a 2.08 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 39 IP, he has thrown back-to-back […]

Frank Schwindel Stays Hot Saturday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel went 3-for-5 with his eighth home run of the season on Saturday. Schwindel was recalled from the minors on May 9th after a one-day stint in AAA where he didn't even make it to the team before being recalled. Since then, he has hit .281/.333/.542 with 6 HR and […]

Luis Severino Cruises To Victory

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino was dominant on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, throwing seven innings of shutout ball while striking out ten and allowing only two baserunners. Severino had everything working, generating multiple whiffs on each of his 4-seam, slider, changeup, and cutter. He posted a 34% CSW% and generated an astounding […]

Ezequiel Duran Called Up, Josh Smith Placed On IL

The Texas Rangers recalled MLB Pipeline's number 76 prospect, third baseman Ezequiel Duran, on Saturday. Duran hit the cover off the ball for AA Frisco this season, slashing .317/.365/.574 with seven home runs and seven stolen bases. He has five-category potential and is worthy of a speculative add in most leagues. To make room for […]

Adolis Garcia Strikes Out Three Times On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia had a rough time at the plate in Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. The 29-year-old has been a disappointment, slashing .227/.266/.423 over 49 games. Garcia is worth a shot for fantasy managers in AL-only leagues, as he could be a source of power […]

Ian Anderson Gives Up Five Runs On Thursday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was roughed up against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. He pitched six innings and allowed 10 hits, one walk and five earned runs while recording nine strikeouts. He has now allowed at least four earned runs in three consecutive starts. The 24-year-old has struggled in his third year. Over […]

Rhys Hoskins Doubles, Scores A Run In Victory

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in a 10-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.
