Brad Keller To Be Limited Down The Stretch

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said he won't let starting pitcher Brad Keller throw more than 100 pitches per game for the rest of the season. Yost has a total innings limit in mind for Keller, but he wants to talk with general manager Dayton Moore about it first. Keller is currently at 164 […]

John Means Might Miss Next Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means is going on the family emergency list and might not be back in time for his next start next weekend against the Royals. Means' fantasy owners are really hoping that he won't miss a nice matchup against KC. The left-hander has been one of the few bright spots for […]

Francisco Mejia Getting Rare Outfield Start

San Diego Padres backstop Francisco Mejia is starting in left field and batting second Sunday versus Red Sox lefty Brian Johnson. It's his fourth start of the year in the outfield this season, and second in the last week as we may see him receive more starts there moving forward. The Friars called up catching […]

Eddie Rosario Remains Out Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is out of the lineup once again Sunday with a tight hamstring. He suffered the injury in Wednesday's contest and has yet to suit up since. The team is still calling him day-to-day and are likely playing it safe with the 27-year-old with an upcoming off-day Monday. Rosario could return […]

Rougned Odor Could Be Benched Soon

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has been awful with the bat and could be on his last chance with the team. Odor is hitting .197 with 21 home runs and 67 RBI this season with the Rangers. The team has tried to help Odor make adjustments, but nothing seems to help. Danny Santana and […]

Miguel Cabrera is Sitting Out on Sunday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The veteran slugger will get a routine rest day as he might see a lot of that down the stretch. Ronny Rodriguez will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus lefty Martin Perez. […]

George Springer is Out on Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Springer will get a rare rest day here, so no injury or anything to worry about. Jake Marisnick will draw the start in center field and bat ninth versus righty Jaime Barria. Marisnick doesn't have […]

Nick Senzel Still Out Sunday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (thumb) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Senzel will sit out his second straight game, and he's been dealing with a sore right thumb. He's been in an awful slump lately as well, so the Reds are giving him some time to rest. […]

He'll bat eighth and […]

Matt Duffy is Resting on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Robbie Ray Activated, Starting on Sunday

Arizona Diamondback starting pitcher Robbie Ray (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Ray missed the minimum amount of games due to back spasms.

Avisail Garcia Activated on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Garcia missed the minimum 10 days due to a right oblique strain, but is back in the lineup here. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Dylan Bundy. Garcia is a decent cheap DFS option for […]

Jose Ramirez Placed on Injured List

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Ramirez suffered a fractured hamate bone in his right hand during a swing on Saturday. He is scheduled to have surgery on Monday, so the Indians will have a better timetable after that. Ramirez is likely done for […]

Kolten Wong Sits Out on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (toe) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Wong exited early on Saturday after fouling a ball off his right toe. Luckily, he avoided any major injury, so he'll only be sidelined a few days. Tommy Edman will draw the start at […]

Edwin Diaz is Likely Out a Few Days

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz (shoulder) is going to be sidelined a few days, but won't be placed on the injured list. Diaz was removed during his appearance on Saturday due to right trapezius tightness. The team is unsure how long Diaz is going to be sidelined. Seth Lugo is going to be […]

Marcus Stroman Expected to Start on Tuesday

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (hamstring) is expected to make his next scheduled start, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Stroman exited early during his last start due to left hamstring tightness. However, the Mets believe he'll be fine and he's expected to make his next start versus the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Stroman […]

Anthony Rizzo is Sidelined on Sunday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Rizzo left early during Sunday's game due to mid-back tightness. The Cubs are going to give him a day off to rest, but he should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Ian Happ will […]

Antonio Senzatela to Start on Sunday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela has been recalled to draw the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Rockies rotation is banged up with Kyle Freeland (groin) and Jon Gray (foot) both sidelined. Senzatela has a 6.29 ERA over 18 starts with Colorado this season. He's not a reliable fantasy option right […]

Pablo Lopez Will Rejoin Rotation Monday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to rejoin the starting rotation versus the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Lopez hasn't pitched since mid-June due to a shoulder injury. Caleb Smith will have his start pushed back until Tuesday, so Lopez can start on Monday. Lopez was fairly solid before the injury, so he's […]

Chi Chi Gonzalez Wild Against Cardinals

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez had a rough outing Saturday against the Cardinals, and he really struggled to find the strike zone. Gonzalez walked six batters in just 4 1/3 innings of work, allowing five earned runs en route to his fifth loss of the season. Gonzalez has yet to record a win […]

Tony Wolters Continues To Chip In

Colorado Rockies catcher Tony Wolters was one of the few members of the team to collect a hit on Saturday in the team's loss to the Cardinals, and it seems like he finds a way to chip in with the bat in pretty much every game. Wolters has either gotten a hit, scored a run, […]

Ian Desmond Hitting .167 In Last Two Weeks

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond continues to slog his way through another poor season by going just 4-for-24 over the last two weeks. It's another sub-par season for Desmond as he's hitting just .257 with 14 home runs and three stolen bases in just over 400 plate appearances. Desmond got hot for about six weeks […]

Scott Kingery Clubs Three-Run Homer Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Scott Kingery went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer Saturday at Miami.

Zach Eflin Pitches Well Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin allowed two runs in six innings while earning his eighth win of the season Saturday in Miami.
