Minnesota Twins right-hander Michael Pineda pitched well in a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Pineda allowed just one run over five innings while striking out eight and walking one.

Adrian Houser Injured During Start Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (hip) left his start early on Tuesday against the Cardinals with left hip discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell doesn't think the injury is serious, but "it is a concern." Houser's fantasy owners were bummed he didn't get a chance at a quality start, as he allowed just four hits and […]

Marwin Gonzalez Leaves Early Tuesday

Minnesota Twins utility man Marwin Gonzalez (abdominal) left the game early on Tuesday with an abdominal issue. Gonzalez helped out those that started him before leaving, though, hitting a solo homer in his three plate appearances. The do-it-all utility man is now hitting .263/.323/.420 with 15 home runs, 48 runs and 48 RBI on the […]

Ketel Marte Injures Himself On Home Run

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (leg) injured himself after a game-tying home run against the Giants on Tuesday and had to be removed from the game. Marte had the solo homer and a single in his three plate appearances before he was forced from the contest. The impressive D-back is hitting .323/.385/.578 with 28 homers, […]

Rich Hill Throws Bullpen Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (forearm) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and mixed in curveballs for the first time since his forearm injury. The Dodgers can afford to take it slow with the veteran left-hander, which is what they've done, but he's expected to return to their rotation in the middle […]

Johnny Cueto To Make One More Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento before being activated from the injured list. Cueto has been out all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery last year. While he should be able to make a handful of starts for the Gigantes, he'll be a […]

Eugenio Suarez Hits 37th Homer

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez had a big night at the plate in an 8-5 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Suarez went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two runs, and two RBI in the win. The veteran slugger has been on a tear of late, having homered in three straight games […]

Miguel Cabrera Injured Tuesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) left the game early as a precaution on Tuesday with left biceps tightness. Cabrera struck out in both of his plate appearances before exiting. This was a precaution, but the Tigers surely won't rush the veteran back into the lineup in a lost season. Miggy has definitely shown […]

Nick Senzel Hits 11th Homer

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk, two runs, three RBI, and a steal in an 8-5 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The homer goes down as Senzel's 11th on the season and his third in his last 15 games. Overall, the rookie is hitting .267 with the […]

Luke Voit On Track To Return Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hernia) is continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and remains on track to come off the injured list on Friday for the start of the series against the A's. Voit has been out since late July but should remain stashed in all leagues, as he's been a […]

Edwin Encarnacion Progressing

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) hit in the batting cage and did some fielding and throwing drills in New York on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Encarnacion will see live pitching in the near future and should be an option to return to the team soon. EE has been out […]

David Peralta To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. While Peralta certainly didn't live up to expectations after batting .293 and clubbing a career-high 30 homers in 2018, he was still relevant in the majority of fantasy leagues this year with his .275/.343/.461 slash line […]

Justin Turner Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was suspended one game for making contact with the plate umpire on Monday night. Turner is appealing the suspension and can play until the appeal is heard. It doesn't mean much for fantasy owners, but make sure you check back to see when Turner's appeal is heard. The […]

Addison Russell Hits Home Run

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday versus the Mets. Russell had been 2-for-14 since being recalled recently, but enjoyed facing the Mets Tuesday. Despite the nice stat line, Russell doesn’t play enough or hit well enough to be considered outside of DFS.

Javier Baez Breaks Out Of Slump

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez enjoyed his Tuesday evening versus the New York Mets. Baez went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a walk. Baez has been in the middle of a cold streak and hopefully Tuesday’s performance will get him going in time for the fantasy playoffs.

Yu Darvish Ends August With Another Strong Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish put together another strong start on Tuesday versus the New York Mets. Over eight innings, Darvish allowed five hits, one run, one walk and struck out seven. Darvish finishes the month of August allowing just one walk and striking out 42. Darvish is in a groove and should be […]

Drew Smyly Struggles Again Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Drew Smyly allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Pirates Tuesday. Smyly allowed nine hits, including two, homers as his recent struggles continued. In his first two starts after being acquired by the Phillies Smyly allowed only one run in 13 innings. Opposing offenses have been […]

Luis Severino To Make Rehab Start Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start on Sunday with Double-A Trenton. Severino pitched well during his two inning simulated game on Tuesday. Severino has been out all season due to shoulder and lat injuries. Hopefully, he'll be back in the middle of September to help the […]

Hunter Pence Officially Placed on Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Hunter Pence (back) has been officially placed on the injured list, retroactive to Aug. 24. Pence suffered the injury last week and wasn't making enough progress, so the team decided to give him some extra rest. It's unclear how long he's going to be sidelined, but hopefully it's not longer than 10 […]

Ryan Braun is Out for Tuesday's Contest

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun has been seeing plenty of rest lately with the Brewers having a bit of a logjam in the outfield. Trent Grisham will bat leadoff and cover left field versus righty Mike Mikolas. Grisham has […]

Mike Moustakas Sits Out Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Moustakas was forced to leave during Monday's game after a ball hit him in the wrist. The X-rays came back negative, but it's still sore, so he's going to sit out on Tuesday. Cory […]

Starlin Castro Gets Day Off on Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The veteran infielder will get a rare off day here to rest. Neil Walker will cover third base and bat cleanup versus righty Luis Castillo. Walker has decent upside with the bat, but won't have much […]

Tyler Glasnow Will Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Friday with High-A Charlotte. Glasnow went through a live batting practice session on Tuesday without any issues. He's been sidelined since May 11 due to a flexor strain in his right forearm. The Rays expect Glasnow to return to […]

Juan Lagares Sits Out on Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Juan Lagares (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This appears to be a routine day off or a matchup move, so Lagares won't start in this one. Michael Conforto will draw the start in center field and bat cleanup versus righty Yu Darvish. […]
