Gleyber Torres Exits Early

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres is clearly still suffering from the injury he sustained Sunday night against the Red Sox. The 22-year-old exited Tuesday's game in the third inning, being replaced by Breyvic Valera. Torres appeared to have suffered a core issue Sunday night, exiting early and even going to the hospital. While he […]

Miguel Rojas Leaves With Injury

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas left Tuesday night's game in the third inning with an apparent injury. Rojas landed awkwardly running down the first base line and needed to be helped off the field by the training staff. Rojas had been having a sneaky good season as the primary leadoff man in Miami with a […]

Shawn Kelley To Be Activated Wednesday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Shawn Kelley (biceps) will be activated for Wednesday's game at Cleveland. Kelley has 11 saves on the season and was being used as the primary closer when he went on the injured list, but likely won't be used for saves right away. Manager Chris Woodward said he believed Jose Leclerc earned […]

Corey Dickerson Leading Off Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson is leading off against the Diamondbacks on Monday. This is Dickerson's second start with his new team and the second time he's batted first which is a good sign for his fantasy value. Dickerson could sit against some lefties given the other Phillies outfield options, but he has value in […]

Max Scherzer Not Ready To Throw Off Mound

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) is not ready to begin throwing off a mound according to manager Dave Martinez. Martinez added that Scherzer "wasn't great, but felt ok," after throwing yesterday. This is obviously not a good sign for the 35-year-old right-hander who has made just one start since July 6. He'll take […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu To Start On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (neck) is scheduled to come off the injured list Sunday according to Manager Dave Roberts. Ryu was placed on the IL with a minor neck issue but it sounds like it'll only cost him one start. Ryu has been dominant this season so fantasy owners will be happy […]

Lorenzo Cain Exits Game

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain left Tuesday's game with an apparent leg injury. It was the same knee that Cain said he banged up making a couple of catches. Cain fouled a ball off his left knee in the top of the first inning and went down in pain, but stayed in to finish the […]

Rangers-Indians Game Postponed; Double Header on Wednesday

Tuesday night's Texas Rangers at Cleveland Indians game has been postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a traditional double header on Wednesday. Zach Plesac will start Game 1 for Cleveland, and the Cleveland bullpen will handle Game 2.

A.J. Pollock Not Starting, But Available Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (groin) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals. Pollock missed Saturday's game with a minor groin issue but played, and homered, on Sunday. Manager Dave Roberts said Pollock is available off the bench tonight and might start tomorrow. However, this is the second game in a […]

Griffin Canning To Throw Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning (elbow) is scheduled to throw on Tuesday. Canning was placed on the injured list on August 4 with elbow inflammation so the fact he is already throwing is a good sign for him and his fantasy owners. Still, with the Angels out of playoff contention, the Angels figure […]

Pedro Strop Activated from Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (neck) has been activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Strop is back in the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics after missing 10 days due to neck tightness. Craig Kimbrel (knee) and Brandon Kintzler (pectoral) are both sidelined, so Steve Cishek and Strop will get most […]

Brandon Kintzler Lands on Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Kintzler (pectoral) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He felt discomfort in his pec while pitching against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Manager Joe Maddon doesn't believe the injury is too serious, so hopefully he'll only be sidelined for the 10 days. Kintzler has been one […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Joins Nationals

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Cabrera was released by the Texas Rangers on Saturday. He officially joins the Nationals roster on Tuesday. He's hitting .235/.318/.393 with 12 home runs this season, so nothing too great from him. He likely won't see […]

Hector Noesi Will Start on Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Hector Noesi will draw the start against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Noesi hasn't started a game in the MLB since 2015, so we'll see how this goes. He has a 3.82 ERA in 21 starts at Triple-A this season. He's not a favorable streaming option, so DFS players should […]

Jonathan Holder Will Open on Tuesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Holder is scheduled to be the opener for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Holder made a start for the Yankees last season, but it's the first time he's doing it this year. He has a 6.28 ERA, so he's not a favorable fantasy option, even against the Orioles […]

Steven Brault Activated, Starting Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Steven Brault (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Brault missed a full month of action due to a left shoulder strain. He has a 4.15 ERA in nine starts with Pittsburgh this season. He's drawing the start versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. He can go […]

Christian Yelich is Resting on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is a rare off day for the potential MVP. Trent Grisham will cover left field and bat seventh versus lefty Steven Brault. Grisham has been off to a hot start, so he's a decent cheap […]

Joe Panik Designated for Assignment

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik has been designated for assignment by the organization on Tuesday. The team acquired Scooter Gennett from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline. Panik was hitting .235/.310/.317 this season, so the team preferred using Gennett at this point in the season. His fantasy value should increase if he […]

Kole Calhoun Sits Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Calhoun has actually struggled more against right-handed pitchers this season, so he'll sit this one out. Brian Goodwin will cover right field and bat third versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Goodwin has been great with the […]

Ender Inciarte Will Play Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (quad) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Inciarte was forced to exit the game early on Monday due to tightness in his quad. Luckily, it's not anything too serious, so Inciarte won't land on the injured list. He'll bat ninth and play center field […]

Kolby Allard Will Start on Friday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard will be added to the active roster and will make the start on Friday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Allard was acquired from the Braves during the trade deadline for reliever Chris Martin. Adrian Sampson will move to the bullpen to make room for Allard in the starting rotation. Allard […]

Alex Verdugo Placed on Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Verdugo was scratched from Monday's starting lineup with back issues, but lands on the shelf because of a right oblique strain. Kristopher Negron will cover center field and bat eighth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Fantasy owners should expect to be […]

Kyle Schwarber Will Sit On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will sit with the Cubs facing left-hander Brett Anderson on Tuesday. It’s just a routine day off for Schwarber. The slugger has been warming up over the past two weeks and has three home runs over that span. Albert Almora Jr. will replace Schwarber and bat sixth. Almora isn’t a […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 8/6/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As the rest of Major League Baseball turns towards deeper bullpens, the Houston Astros added another ace for their starting rotation. They already had traded for Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole in recent seasons and signed Wade Miley as a free agent in the offseason but, with the MLB Trade Deadline looming, the Astros dealt […]

Johnny Cueto's Rehab Assignment Off to Good Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) has pitched well in his first return to the mound since undergoing Tommy John's surgery last summer. He struck out five hitters on 21 pitches through two innings in an Arizona League game in Scottsdale. The Giants are looking towards having Cueto back with the team in early […]

Ben Zobrist Continuing Minor League Rehab Assignment

Chicago Cubs utility man Ben Zobrist will resume his minor league rehab assignment with the Class A Myrtle Beach Pelicans. He will play three games with the team starting on Thursday, just as he did last week with the Class A South Bend Cubs. Zobrist hasn't played with the Chicago Cubs since May 6, when […]

Tim Beckham Suspended 80 Games

Seattle Mariners shortstop Tim Beckham has been suspended 80 games for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. This will keep him out of all remaining games for this season and significantly push back his start next season. The 29-year-old was fourth on the team with 47 RBI while hitting .237 with 15 home runs. You […]
