Paul DeJong Smashes a Homer on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong hit another home run on Monday, his 24th of the season. DeJong went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored, and three RBI. DeJong looks like he might be starting off a hot streak, and he's one of the most valuable offensive pieces when he's on. He'll take a […]

Scott Kingery Expected To Be Fine

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said that infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery's (stomach) abdominal issue that forced him from the game on Monday is gastrointestinal and not muscular, so he's expected to be fine. That means we're likely to see Kingery back in the lineup on Tuesday. He's been useful in most mixed […]

John Gant Improves to 9-0 on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher John Gant earned a win on Monday, improving his record to 9-0. Gant came on with two outs in the fourth inning to relieve ineffective starter Adam Wainwright. Gant tossed 2 1/3 innings, allowing just a walk while striking out three. He's had some unhittable stretches this season mixed in […]

Adam Wainwright Can't Finish the Fourth on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was unable to finish the fourth inning on Monday, lasting just 3 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs on six hits and three walks, striking out four along the way. Wainwright faced 20 batters and got 11 outs, but he needed 90 pitches to do so, throwing 41 […]

Yadier Molina Has a Strong Game on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina had a big game on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a single, and a walk. He scored a run and drove in three. The homer was Molina's fifth and it improved his line to .261/.296/.365. He's had some hot streaks this season but it's overall been somewhat […]

X-Rays Negative For Mike Moustakas

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas' (wrist) X-rays came back negative on Monday after he was hit in the wrist/hand with a hard line drive on defense, but he's sore and is "unlikely" to play on Tuesday, according to manager Craig Counsell. The Brewers and fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief for Moose, […]

Scott Kingery Leaves Early Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery (abdominal) left the game early on Monday with abdominal soreness. Kingery had a single in his two plate appearances and is now hitting .273/.336/.499 with 15 home runs, 51 runs, 43 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 390 plate appearances on the year. He's been a useful power/speed utility man […]

Dustin May To Make One More Start After Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie starting pitcher Dustin May, who is starting against the Padres on Monday night, will make one more start in six days before going back to the bullpen. The right-hander will be lined up to start against the Diamondbacks this weekend. Gingergaard has a 4.26 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in […]

Mike Moustakas Injured Monday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (wrist) left the game early on Monday when a line drive struck his hand on defense. Moose was hitless in his only plate appearance before leaving. This has the potential to be a serious loss for the Brewers in their quest to return to the playoffs. Moustakas has been […]

Rico Garcia To Make Debut Tuesday

The Colorado Rockies are calling up pitching prospect Rico Garcia to make his major league debut on Tuesday against the Red Sox, according to a source. Garcia is the team's No. 20 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 4.23 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 in 123 1/3 innings (25 starts) for […]

Brendan McKay Hurt In Minors

Tampa Bay Rays two-way prospect Brendan McKay (shoulder) has been placed on the seven-day minor league injured list with left shoulder fatigue. There aren't any long-term concerns, so McKay should be an option for Tampa's rotation when rosters expand in September. The team's No. 2 prospect and No. 15 overall, per MLB Pipeline, didn't fare […]

German Marquez May Not Return This Year

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that starting pitcher German Marquez (arm), who landed on the injured list on Monday, is dealing with a "tired arm" and may not pitch again this season. With the Rockies well out of contention, it makes plenty of sense to shut Marquez down for the final month to avoid […]

Didi Gregorius, Cameron Maybin Out Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (shoulder) and outfielder Cameron Maybin (wrist) are not in the starting lineup on Monday. Gregorius was hit by a pitch in the shoulder on Sunday, but he could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday. Maybin has missed the last two games with left wrist soreness and has […]

Mike Yastrzemski Not Playing Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Monday after being hit by a pitch in the hand on Sunday. The injury isn't believed to be very serious, so there's a chance that Yaz can return as early as Tuesday. He's day-to-day. Austin Slater is in right field and […]

Joc Pederson is Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Pederson will get a regular day off here against the left-handed starter. Kike Hernandez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus lefty Eric Lauer. Hernandez is a decent cheap DFS […]

Orlando Arcia Gets Day Off Monday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off for Arcia, so he should be back in there next game. Cory Spangenberg will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Adam Wainwright. Spangenberg […]

Brad Keller To Make 2-3 More Starts

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said that starting pitcher Brad Keller will likely only make two to three more starts this year. The Royals want to shut him down at 180 innings. Keller is already at 164 innings, so the Royals will keep his pitch count low in his last several outings, severely limiting […]

Adalberto Mondesi Likely To Be Activated Sunday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) is likely to be activated from the injured list when rosters expand on Sunday. Manager Ned Yost said the team doesn't want Mondesi diving for balls or diving into the bases for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old phenom has been out since July 16, so fantasy […]

Bradley Zimmer, Danny Salazar Getting Closer

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer (shoulder, side) will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, while pitcher Danny Salazar (groin) will start his rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Monday and throw one inning. Both players should be able to help the Tribe out in September. Zimmer has an intriguing mix of power […]

Danny Duffy To Rejoin Team Later This Week

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (hamstring) is done with his rehab assignment and will be activated from the injured list to start on Friday or Saturday against the Orioles. The left-hander will return to face an excellent matchup, but he's still pretty darn risky in mixed leagues in his first start back from […]

Trent Grisham Not In Starting Lineup Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Trent Grisham is not in the starting lineup Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Grisham has four home runs and 11 RBI through 57 at-bats but has otherwise been unimpressive since being called up, posting an underwhelming .228 batting average and .303 on-base percentage. Grisham makes for a definite hold in dynasty […]

Jay Bruce Expected To Return Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (elbow) will play for Double-A Reading on Friday and Saturday and is expected to come off the injured list when rosters expand on Sunday, Sept. 1. Bruce won't throw initially and will only be used as a pinch-hitter. Bruce hasn't played in the bigs since Aug. 8. He's been a […]

Anthony Rendon Named NL Player Of The Week

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon has been named National League Player of the Week. Rendon went 14-for-29 with two home runs, six runs and seven RBI over the Nationals seven-game road trip this past week and has a solid 12-game hitting streak going as well. This doesn't need to be said, but keep trotting […]

Cesar Hernandez Out Monday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup on Monday. Scott Kingery will man the keystone and will hit seventh against Pirates starter Joe Musgrove. Kingery has been very valuable to the Phils this year while filling a number of positions, but he's been cold of late and makes for an […]

Josh Bell Sitting Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Bell has struggled of late, so the Pirates and fantasy owners are hoping a game off can help him round back into form. Jose Osuna will start at first and bat fourth against left-hander Jason Vargas. Osuna could […]

A's Calling Up Seth Brown

The Oakland Athletics are calling up first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. Brown was hitting an impressive .297/.352/.634 with 37 home runs on the farm, and he was also hitting .405 in his last 10 games. The 27-year-old is an interesting fantasy commodity in deeper leagues down the stretch, but only […]

Brandon Nimmo Expected Back Later This Week

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is expected to return from the injured list later this week. He'll need to play consecutive full games in the outfield for Triple-A Syracuse first, which could happen Tuesday and Wednesday. Nimmo burst onto the scene in 2018 and became useful in deep mixed leagues, but injuries have […]

German Marquez, Raimel Tapia Go On Injured List

The Colorado Rockies placed starting pitcher German Marquez (arm) and outfielder Raimel Tapia (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Pitchers Phillip Diehl and Joe Harvey have been recalled from Triple-A in corresponding moves. Marquez is useful in mixed leagues for his strikeouts (175 in 174 innings), but he's been hit or miss otherwise […]
