Rockies Call Up Dom Nunez

Colorado Rockies catcher Dom Nunez has been called up and will make his first MLB start Tuesday night vs the Diamondbacks. Nunez brings big power to the Big Leagues as he had 17 home runs and a .921 OPS in 61 games in Triple-A this season. Those numbers are inflated a bit playing in the […]

Sean Manaea Strikes Out 10 In Rehab Start

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) pitched 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball with 10 strikeouts for Triple-A Las Vegas Tuesday afternoon. Manaea threw 82 pitches in the rehab start and could be able to make his season debut soon pending how he feels after this outing. Manaea had to be shut down from […]

Max Scherzer Throws Simulated Game

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) threw two innings of a simulated game Tuesday afternoon. Scherzer threw 31 warmup pitches in the bullpen before throwing 32 pitches to an empty batter's box with an inning break after 16 pitches.

Alex Dickerson Beginning Rehab Assignment

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (oblique) is beginning a rehab assignment tonight for Triple-A Sacramento.

On the season Dickerson has a .421 on-base percentage thanks […]

Dustin May Will Start on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May had his start moved up a day and he'll pitch against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Clayton Kershaw was scheduled to make the start on Tuesday, but he'll get an extra day of rest. May pitched well versus the St. Louis Cardinals last week. He's in a favorable […]

Adam Duvall Sits Out on Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Duvall has been slumping with the bat lately, so he'll get the day off to rest. Matt Joyce will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus righty Zack Wheeler. Joyce has one […]

Sam Dyson Activated on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Sam Dyson (biceps) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Dyson was placed on the injured list August 3, so he didn't miss too much time due to his biceps discomfort. Dyson has been horrible since joining the Twins, so it's unlikely that they throw him back in […]

Juan Soto Will Play on Tuesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Soto missed one game due to a mild right ankle sprain. He's batting cleanup and playing left field versus lefty Alex Wood on Tuesday. Fantasy owners can feel safe about putting Soto back in their lineups.

Brian Dozier Returns on Tuesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He's been battling an illness the last few days, so he's been playing off the bench. He'll play second base and bat sixth versus lefty Alex Wood. Dozier doesn't have much upside with the bat […]

Jon Gray Scratched on Tuesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (ankle) has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Jeff Hoffman has been recalled to make a spot start here. He has a 6.57 ERA in a little over 38 innings, so he's not a strong fantasy option. Hoffman is not a trustworthy fantasy […]

Rowdy Tellez Recalled from Minors

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez has been recalled from the minors on Tuesday. Tellez has been crushing the ball in the minors over the last month, so the Jays are going to give him another look. Justin Smoak is in the lineup on Tuesday, but should see less playing time as the season […]

Christian Yelich is Back in the Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Yelich missed nearly a week of game action while nursing a back issue. He'll bat third and play right field versus lefty Martin Perez. It appears the back issue is gone, so Yelich should be good […]

Tommy Pham is Out on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Pham has been dealing discomfort in his right hand, but is hopeful that he won't land on the injured list. Austin Meadows will cover left field and bat second versus lefty Eric Lauer. Meadows […]

Nathan Eovaldi to Work as Starter

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is expected to work his way into the starting rotation for the last stretch of the season. Eovaldi is scheduled to be the opener for the team on Wednesday. The Red Sox want him to work on his pitch count and build his way up to being a starter […]

Zach Davies to Throw Bullpen Session Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. Davies has already thrown twice successful, so he should be back on the mound soon, assuming this session goes well. Davis has been on the injured list since August 5 due to back spasms. He's not expected to need […]

Randal Grichuk Continues Power Surge

Toronto outfielder Randall Grichuk hit his 21st home run of the year on Monday, as the Blue Jays defeated the Texas Rangers handily at home, 16-4. It was Grichuk's third home run in six games, and his fifth in his last 14 contests. Only 22%-owned in Yahoo leagues, Grichuk could be a good stream of […]

Brandon Drury Hits First Career Grand Slam

Toronto infielder Brandon Drury did his part on Monday night, hitting the first grand slam of his career off of Texas reliever Adrian Sampson in the fourth inning of an eventual 16-4 Blue Jay victory. Drury has been hitting enough to make Toronto keep finding him at-bats and is now slashing .355/.375/.677 in August, with […]

Bo Bichette Back Up To Double Tricks

After failing to double in his last three whole games, Toronto rookie Bo Bichette made up for lost time, hitting two more on Monday night during a 16-4 romp over the Texas Rangers. Bichette collected four hits on the night, with three runs scored and a stolen base. Through his first 72 plate appearances, Bichette […]

Justin Smoak Has Monster Performance

Toronto first baseman Justin Smoak was a big part of the slaughter on Monday night, going 3-5 with a two-run home run, four RBI, and three runs scored as the Blue Jays beat the visiting Rangers 19-4. Adding two doubles, Smoak could use the jumpstart as his 19th home run of the year was his […]

Zack Wheeler Looks to Stay Hot Tuesday

New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler will take the bump on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen will be tested on Tuesday when he goes on the road to Coors Field to take on the Colorado Rockies.

Peter Lambert Struggles Against Arizona
