Victor Robles Reaches Double-Digit Homers

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles hit his 10th home run of the season Wednesday, a solo shot to add insurance in a 2-0 Nationals victory. It was only Robles' second home run since May 15, as the rookie has been struggling mightily of late, resulting in just a .236/.304/.413 including Wednesday. Nonetheless, he remains a […]

Marco Gonzales Efficient For Third Straight Victory

Seattle Mariners starter Marco Gonzales got the victory in a superb effort against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. He gave up two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five through 6.2 IP earning his third win in a row. Gonzales is now 8-6 on the campaign sporting a 4.38 ERA […]

Max Scherzer Dominates With Busted Face

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer threw seven scoreless innings and came away with the victory in Washington's 2-0 win over the Phillies Wednesday, completing a sweep of a doubleheader. Scherzer broke his nose and got a black eye Tuesday and looked a mess on the mound, but that didn't affect the stuff one bit: […]

Daniel Vogelbach Keeps Producing With Another Home Run

Seattle Mariners first baseman Daniel Vogelbach tallied his 18th big fly of the year Wednesday, taking Royals starter Brad Keller deep. The hulking slugger finished the day going 1-for-2 with a walk while cashing in two RBI. With Jay Bruce and Edwin Encarnacion out of town Vogelbach has a clear path to every day playing […]

Steven Duggar Scratched Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Steven Duggar (back) was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday due to lower back tightness. Mike Yastrzemski is starting in right field and will hit eighth against Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed starting pitcher Rich Hill. Duggar has been pretty mediocre in 2019 with San Fran, hitting .234/.277/.343 with four home runs, […]

Domingo Santana Cranks A Pair Of Long Balls

Seattle Mariners outfielder Domingo Santana led the offensive charge Wednesday in the team's 8-2 victory. He finished the afternoon going 3-for-4 with two runs and five RBI while clearing the bleachers twice breaking a 10-game homerless drought. Santana has had a tremendous debut season with the M's hitting .279 with 15 dingers, 40 runs, and […]

Julio Urias To Start Against Giants Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias will start against the Giants on Thursday opposite Madison Bumgarner. Reliever Caleb Ferguson is set to piggy back Urias, so Urias will essentially be used as an opener for this one, which limits his fantasy appeal tremendously. The 22-year-old southpaw has pitched well for L.A. this year, going 3-2 […]

Chris Paddack To Start Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack will be recalled from the minors to start on Saturday against the Pirates on the road. Paddack was sent down to High-A Lake Elsinore for a breather recently after allowing 12 earned runs in his previous three starts over 14 1/3 innings. The 23-year-old rookie right-hander has been […]

Garrett Cooper Scratched Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (triceps) has been scratched from the lineup on Wednesday with a sore left triceps. Yadiel Rivera is starting at first base and will hit seventh against Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon. Cooper has a history of injuries, so hopefully this will only keep him out for a day or […]

Chad Green To Start Thursday

New York Yankees pitcher Chad Green will make the start on Thursday against the Astros. Green sports an ugly 7.54 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 30 K's in 22 2/3 innings over 22 outings (five starts), but he is coming off a two-inning start over the weekend in which he struck out all six White Sox […]

Trey Mancini Avoids Serious Injury

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini (elbow) left the game early with a left elbow contusion on Wednesday after being hit by a pitch. He has avoided a fracture after undergoing tests. Consider Mancini day-to-day for now, but the O's could play it cautious and hold him out for another day or […]

Blake Parker Heads To Emergency Leave List

The Minnesota Twins placed relief pitcher Blake Parker on the family medical emergency list on Wednesday and recalled pitcher Sean Poppen from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Parker has been playing second fiddle to Taylor Rogers in save situations of late but does have nine saves and a 4.26 ERA over 25 1/3 innings […]

Marwin Gonzalez Put On Injured List, Willians Astudillo Called Up

The Minnesota Twins placed infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right hamstring strain and recalled catcher Willians Astudillo from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Gonzalez was hitting .255/.323/.420 with 11 doubles, nine home runs and 26 RBI in 63 games before his injury. The Twins were finding […]

Sean Manaea To Throw Sim Game Thursday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) will throw a simulated game in Arizona on Thursday, the final step before going on a minor league rehab assignment. Manaea is worth stashing in most leagues soon after going 12-9 with a 3.59 ERA in 27 starts in 2018, including a no-hitter against the Red Sox. He […]

Jordan Lyles To Make Rehab Start Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hamstring) will make a minor league rehab start on Sunday and go six innings or 85 pitches. Steven Brault will make the start on Sunday against the Padres at home. Lyles should be able to rejoin the rotation after his start on Sunday, barring any setbacks. The right-hander has […]

Manny Banuelos Lands On Injured List Again

The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left shoulder inflammation and recalled reliever Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Banuelos is 3-4 on the year with a 6.90 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 13 games (eight starts) over 45 2/3 innings. […]

Walker Lockett To Start Thursday

New York Mets starting pitcher Walker Lockett will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start against the Cubs on Thursday in place of Noah Syndergaard (hamstring), according to manager Mickey Callaway. Lockett was acquired from the Indians in the trade that sent catcher Kevin Plawecki to Cleveland. The 25-year-old righty is 0-1 with a […]

Pablo Lopez Placed On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right shoulder strain. Prospect Zac Gallen will be officially called up from Triple-A New Orleans to start on Thursday against the Cardinals. The 23-year-old Gallen is a top-100 prospect and needs to be added in most leagues […]

Harrison Bader is Absent on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Bader isn't exactly crushing the ball right now, so a rest day is probably needed. Dexter Fowler will draw the start in center field and bat sixth versus righty Trevor Richards. Fowler continues to slump […]

Jordan Montgomery To Have MRI On Shoulder

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (elbow, shoulder) is heading to New York to undergo an MRI exam on his left shoulder, according to manager Aaron Boone. Montgomery is on the mend from Tommy John surgery and had to cut his throwing session short on Tuesday due to discomfort in his arm. The Yankees […]

Yadier Molina Gets Night Off

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. The veteran catcher will get a rare off day here. Matt Wieters will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Trevor Richards. Wieters has one hit in his last 24 at-bats, […]

Kolten Wong is Out on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Wong will get a routine day off, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Tommy Edman will cover second base and bat seventh versus righty Trevor Richards. Edman should be avoided […]

Jorge Polanco Gets The Night Off

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Polanco will get a much-needed day off here. Luis Arraez will cover shortstop and bat sixth versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Arraez has been solid in his short time in the majors, but doesn't have enough […]

Ronald Guzman Sits Out Against Indians

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Guzman has not done much at the plate this season, so this is possibly Texas trying to shake things up. Logan Forsythe will bat eighth and play first base versus righty Adam Plutko. Forsythe has […]

Gleyber Torres Drills First Career Grand Slam

In the midst of their second six-run inning Wednesday afternoon, the New York Yankees had one last major blow and it came off the bat of their star young infielder. Gleyber Torres, once again starting at shortstop, blasted a grand slam in the seventh, extending his club's lead to 12-1. It was his first grand […]

Nick Markakis is Out on Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. The veteran outfielder will get a routine day off here. Charlie Culberson will slide over to right field and bat eighth versus lefty Steven Matz. Culberson hasn't seen much playing time lately, and isn't someone […]

Robinson Cano is Sitting Versus Braves

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This will be a routine day off for the veteran slugger against a left-handed starter. Jeff McNeil will bat leadoff and play second base versus lefty Max Fried. McNeil should hold some fantasy value […]

Alex Wood To Throw Again Saturday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Alex Wood (back) felt good during live batting practice on Tuesday and is set for another live session on Saturday. He threw 21 pitches to three hitters on Tuesday in his first mound work against hitters since spring training. Wood has been out with lower back spasms since Feb. 25 and […]

Brad Miller Gets The Start at Third Base

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Brad Miller will get the start at third base against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Miller was acquired from the Yankees last week in exchange for cash considerations. He was having a strong campaign in Triple-A, so he's looking to continue that in Philly. Miller will bat seventh and play third base […]

Joc Pederson Expected To Play Some First Base

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Joc Pederson is ramping up his work at first base and is expected to play there at some point this season, especially with outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) coming back from injury sometime next month. Pederson has slowed down somewhat after a really hot start to the […]
