Jesus Luzardo Not Yet Throwing

Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo (forearm) has yet to resume throwing, according to manager Don Mattingly.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) will begin his minor league rehab assignment on Sunday with Triple-A Charlotte.

Yoan Moncada Out Again Sunday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. Moncada will miss his third straight game while dealing with quadriceps soreness. Fantasy managers need to leave him on their benches.

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia from the COVID-19 injured list on Sunday and placed pitcher Cody Poteet (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow injury in a corresponding move.

Aaron Hicks Returns To Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) is back in center field and is hitting sixth on Sunday against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan.

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that outfielder Jake Fraley (toe, knee) was scratched from the lineup while on a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday with a toe issue.

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that left-hander Nick Lodolo (back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session in a few days.

Before the injury, he […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole allowed just one run, two hits, and three walks over six innings of work against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. He also struck out 10 batters, though it was all for naught as Tampa Bay's late push gave them a 3-1 win over New York. Cole, of […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 8

This week presents a lot of high-risk/high-reward streaming options that could swing either way. There are also a couple of pitchers that I feel strongly about based on their upcoming schedule and recent trends.
