Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base against the Reds Tuesday night. Realmuto had been hitless in his previous 14 plate appearances so it was nice to see the catcher do a bit of everything that makes him good for fantasy. He isn't having the […]

Scott Kingery Homers For Second Straight Game

Philadelphia Phillies utilityman Scott Kingery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Cincinnati Tuesday night. It was the second game in a row with a homer for the sophomore and gives him six RBI in his last three games. Kingery has had his ups and downs this season but it's added up to a […]

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer had to be carted off of the field after crashing into the outfield wall during Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Mitch Haniger Getting Second Opinion On Injury

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger is reportedly getting a second opinion on the lower back discomfort he experienced during recent rehab games. Haniger has not played since June 6 after suffering through a ruptured testicle. It has been a wholly unfortunate season for the former All-Star. At this point, it seems likely that Haniger will […]

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller left Tuesday's start against the Miami Marlins after taking a line drive off of his wrist.

Joc Pederson Available From The Bench On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (abdomen) is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies, but he is available to pinch hit. The 27-year-old is sore after crashing into the outfield wall during Monday's game. Kike Hernandez will start in his absence. While the Rockies' Chi Chi Gonzalez is a volatile pitcher, Hernandez […]

Max Muncy Set To Field Grounders On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (wrist) is scheduled to field grounders on Wednesday. The slugger went on the injured list on August 30. If Muncy completes the fielding drills without any complications, hitting would be the next step. It seems that the 29-year-old has managed to avoid serious injury. He is slashing .253/.375/.525 […]

Ramon Laureano Feels Ready To Return

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) has been progressing well throughout his latest workouts. He has been running at full speed and took live batting practice with the team on Tuesday.

Gavin Lux Batting Leadoff On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux will be in the leadoff spot for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Javier Baez Absent Against Mariners

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The Cubs have an off day on Wednesday, so this could just be extra rest for Baez. Addison Russell will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Felix Hernandez. Russell isn't in a favorable spot in […]

Ben Zobrist is Back on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Ben Zobrist (personal) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Zobrist missed nearly four months due to personal reasons, but is back with the club now. The Cubs have a logjam of infielders, so it's unclear how often Zobrist is going to play. Zobrist will bat […]

Matt Carpenter Sits Out Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Carpenter has been disappointing with the bat this season, so it's not a surprise to see the Cards trying other options at third base. Tommy Edman will bat seventh and play third base […]

Buster Posey Sits Out on Tuesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be a routine day off for the veteran catcher, so no injury or anything to worry about. Stephen Vogt will draw the start behind the plate and bat cleanup versus righty Jack […]

Lorenzo Cain Remains Out Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. Cain will miss his fourth straight game here due to a lingering knee issue. He was able to come off the bench and bat on Monday, so hopefully he's getting closer to a return. Trent Grisham […]

Jose Altuve Gets Night Off

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for Altuve, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Aledmys Diaz will cover second base and bat fifth versus righty Jordan Lyles. Diaz has […]

Randy Dobnak Makes First Start on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak will draw his first career start against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Dobnak has been impressive in the minors, so he's earned the right to pitch at this level. He has three appearances in the majors and has yet to allow an earned run. He's not a recommended […]
