Manager Aaron Boone said that Severino's lat is 90 percent healed after undergoing another MRI exam, but he won't throw until he's at 100 percent. The Yankees are playing it very cautious so that the right-hander won't have another setback. Severino […]

The St. Louis Cardinals will place outfielder Marcell Ozuna (finger) on the injured list on Saturday after he injured the middle finger on his right hand on Friday while diving back to first base head first on a pickoff attempt.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a long road back to legitimacy for Homer Bailey full of disappointing starts and IL stays since the time when he was so good that the Reds thought it wise to commit $105MM towards their former first round pick.

Yadier Molina Hits Three Singles on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina had three singles on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. Molina has been a solid fantasy catcher this season, slashing .268/.295/.380. With catcher as one of the shallowest offensive positions in 2019, Molina remains relevant in most formats.

Michael Wacha Pitches Well Despite a Loss on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha threw seven strong innings on Friday, allowing only two runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out two and allowed two home runs, throwing just 82 pitches total. Despite the solid outing, Wacha took his fourth loss, dropping to 5-4. Wacha has had strong starts like […]

Marcell Ozuna Jams Hand Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (hand) left the game early on Friday after jamming his right hand while diving back to first base during a pickoff attempt. The team's cleanup hitter and potential All-Star was hitless in his two plate appearances before leaving the game. Check back on Saturday to see the severity of […]

Gregory Soto To Start Saturday Against Nationals

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Gregory Soto will be recalled from the minors in order to start against the Nationals on Saturday. Outfielder Victor Reyes will be optioned to Triple-A Toledo in the corresponding move. In five starts this year, Soto has an ugly 8.66 ERA, 1.98 WHIP, 14 strikeouts and 11 walks in 17 2/3 […]

Chris Archer Leaves Start Early Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer (hip) left after just four innings against the Brewers on Friday due to left hip discomfort. The 30-year-old allowed three hits and two earned runs while walking two and striking out six in the four innings. He confirmed that his injury came when he struck out in the top […]

Daniel Norris Leaves With Groin Cramping

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Daniel Norris (groin) left his start early on Friday against the Nationals after five innings due to groin cramping. Norris had collided with Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton at third base in the first inning. The left-hander had given up five hits (one homer) and two earned runs while walking one and […]

Cole Hamels Heading To Injured List

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that starting pitcher Cole Hamels (oblique), who left his start early on Friday, will go on the injured list with a left oblique strain. The team will know more after Hamels undergoes an MRI exam on Saturday. There's a good chance outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is sent out to make […]

David Freese Expected To Return Next Week

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that third baseman/first baseman David Freese (hamstring) is expected to return next week before the All-Star break. Freese is mostly limited to NL-only leagues in year-long formats because of his limited playing time. He's much more useful in DFS as a notorious lefty killer. The 36-year-old is hitting […]

Byron Buxton, Marwin Gonzalez Take BP Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (wrist) and infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) took batting practice on the field and did some baserunning on Friday. Both players look close to going on a rehab assignment and should be able to return to the Twins before the All-Star break, barring setbacks. Buxton is the more attractive fantasy weapon […]

Khris Davis Dealing With Hand Injury

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis (hand), who was out of the lineup on Friday, is dealing with a left hand injury that he suffered when he was hit by a pitch on Thursday. It doesn't sound too serious, though, so Davis could be right back in the lineup on Saturday. The 31-year-old slugger is hitting […]

Rockies Contemplating Change Amidst Wade Davis' Struggles

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said the team is contemplating a change at the back of their bullpen with closer Wade Davis struggling. Davis has been very shaky all year with a 6.00 ERA, 1.83 WHIP, 11 saves, 24 strikeouts and 16 walks in 24 innings for the Rockies. He's been even more awful since […]

Alex Wood Could Throw This Weekend

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that starting pitcher Alex Wood (back) could throw on flat ground this weekend. "We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it wasn’t too big of a setback for him," Bell said. Wood has had multiple setbacks in his attempt to make his season debut for the Reds in 2019. The […]

Ender Inciarte, Kevin Gausman Set For Simulated Game

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (back) and starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (foot) will both take part in a simulated game on Sunday. Inciarte has been out since May 14 and was hitting just .218/.300/.323 with two home runs, 13 runs, nine RBI and three steals before his injury. When he returns, he might find himself […]
