Andrew McCutchen is Done for the Year

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) is out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee. He suffered the injury during a rundown in San Diego on Monday. He was having a surprisingly strong season in Philly, so this news is going to hurt tons of fantasy owners. […]

Avisail Garcia Back In Lineup Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is back in the lineup on Tuesday after missing the weekend series against the Twins due to hamstring tightness. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second against lefty Ryan Carpenter on Tuesday. Carpenter has been awful this season, so Garcia has some cheap DFS appeal in […]

Chris Davis Activated, Starting Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (hip) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Davis missed just 10 days with hip inflammation. He'll bat seventh and play first base versus lefty Drew Smyly. Davis is hitting .171/.257/.318, so go ahead and avoid him in just about every format.

Ryan Borucki is Making Progress

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues. That was his second bullpen session, and Borucki is scheduled for a third on Saturday. He's been out all season due to an elbow issue. He could head out for a rehab assignment soon. There's a chance Borucki […]

Pedro Strop Activated on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Strop missed almost four weeks of action due to a hamstring strain. Steve Cishek pitched well as the fill-in closer, but Strop should be back into his ninth inning role on the North Side. Both Strop and Cishek […]

Carlos Gonzalez In The Lineup Again on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is back in the starting lineup for the second straight game. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Jeff Hoffman on Tuesday. Gonzalez didn't do much with the bat during his time with the Cleveland Indians this season. However, he'll have a great chance to do damage against […]

Brendan Rodgers is Getting the Night Off

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Rodgers has hit pretty well since being called up, but manager Bud Black enjoys playing the matchups. Ryan McMahon will cover second base and bat sixth versus righty Kyle Hendricks. McMahon has some appeal in […]

Mike Moustakas Returns on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Moustakas suffered a fracture in his right ring finger during Saturday's contest. However, the Brewers didn't place him on the injured list, so he's going to attempt to play through the issue. Moustakas will bat […]

Tommy Pham Remains Out on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Pham missed the weekend series against the Twins, and will sit this game out as well with a left leg cramp. The team hasn't decided to put Pham on the injured list, so hopefully he's […]

Ji-Man Choi is Sitting on Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Choi will get a routine rest day here, but should be back in the lineup next game. Yandy Diaz will bat leadoff and draw the start at first base against lefty Ryan Carpenter. Diaz […]

Gregory Polanco is Out Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Polanco has struggled with the bat, but is mostly likely out because lefty Max Fried is on the mound for Atlanta. Melky Cabrera will play right field and bat cleanup against Fried. Cabrera has some DFS […]

Chance Sisco Not In Starting Lineup Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco is not in the starting lineup Tuesday night. The former top prospect was called up Monday after tearing through Triple-A. Overall, Sisco is batting .289/.383/.530 with 10 home runs, 30 runs and 37 RBI through 44 games. Sisco has struggled the past two seasons with strikeout issues but has taken […]

Dominic Smith Out Tuesday

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday after being scratched with a hyperextended right thumb on Sunday. Smith suffered the injury on Saturday night but said he wasn't too concerned about it. He underwent an MRI exam in New York on Monday. J.D. Davis is in […]

Jameson Taillon Won't Throw For Another Two Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (elbow) said that he won't throw for another two weeks in order to let the platelet-rich plasma injection that he received do its work. "Once we start throwing, we want to have a clear, clean progression," Taillon said. "We’re going to give this a couple more weeks to rest." […]

Derek Dietrich And Jesse Winker Not In Lineup Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman/outfielder Derek Dietrich and first baseman Jesse Winker will get the night off against St. Louis Cardinals rookie left-hander Genesis Cabrera on Tuesday. Kyle Farmer will slide in at second and bat seventh while Jose Peraza will man left and bat eighth. Farmer, who has gone .303/.343/.667 to go along with three home […]

Twins Interested In Dallas Keuchel, Craig Kimbrel

The Minnesota Twins are showing interest in free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel and closer Craig Kimbrel. Both Keuchel and Kimbrel should sign relatively soon now that neither player will require draft-pick compensation for a team to sign them. Keuchel isn't much of a strikeout artist but would be very valuable in all fantasy leagues as […]

Willson Contreras Will Be On The Bench Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will get Tuesday evening off versus the Rockies. Contreras had only been sitting when Yu Darvish starts until last week when Joe Maddon sat him in two straight games. Darvish is on the bump tomorrow and it will be interesting to see if Joe Maddon sits Contreras once again. Victor […]

Buster Posey Out For Second Consecutive Game Tuesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the New York Mets. Posey tweaked his hamstring on Saturday but it doesn't look like he will miss too many more starts. Stephen Vogt is behind the plate and will bat fifth against Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard. Vogt carries little […]

Miguel Cabrera Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (knee) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cabrera sat out Sunday's game and considered season-ending knee surgery, but looks to be good to go after consulting with four specialists. Cabrera's counting stats are definitely taking a hit this season, but the 36-year-old, […]

Aaron Judge, Dellin Betances, Greg Bird Continue Rehabbing

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique), relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) and first baseman Greg Bird (foot) will all head to High-A Tampa to "start ramping up" there, according to manager Aaron Boone. Judge was able to hit in the cages on Sunday. All three players are making their way back from their respective […]

Delino DeShields Gets Start Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields is getting the start in center field and will be batting fourth Tuesday night against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy. DeShields was recalled Sunday and will most likely split starts with Danny Santana until Joey Gallo (oblique) is able to return from the injured list. Triple-A wasn't helping DeShields, who was […]

Peter Lambert Expected To Make Debut This Week

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Peter Lambert, their No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is expected to make his major league debut with a start sometime this week. The 22-year-old right-hander is 2-2 with a 5.07 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 16 walks and 51 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings over 11 starts at Triple-A Albuquerque this season. […]

Mike Clevinger To Make Rehab Start This Week

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (back) will start a rehab assignment this week in Triple-A. No setbacks occurred after he pitched in a simulated game on Saturday and he is currently throwing a bullpen session on Tuesday. Assuming all goes well, we could see Clevinger back on the mound in the next week or […]

Scooter Gennett 2-3 Weeks From Rehab Games

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) took batting practice on Friday and continues to increase the intensity and range as he takes ground balls every day. Manager David Bell said that Gennett is two or three weeks from going on a rehab assignment. Gennett must first raise the intensity of how he takes grounders […]

Josh Bell To Sit Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell will be getting the day off Tuesday. This is a normal day of rest for the 26-year-old who was just named National League Player of the Week. Jose Osuna will man first base and bat sixth against Atlanta left-hander Max Fried and doesn't carry much fantasy value at all.

Pirates Being Cautious With Francisco Cervelli

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said that the team will be even more conservative with catcher Francisco Cervelli (concussion) than in previous instances. "We’re going to take our time on this one," Huntington said. Cervelli has a long history of concussions and has been out since May 25 with his latest head injury. He's […]

Drew Pomeranz Could Start This Weekend

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz hasn't been pulled from the rotation permanently. He's currently available to pitch out of the bullpen if he's needed, and the left-hander could make a start against the Dodgers this weekend. The veteran 30-year-old has not been good at all in 2019, going […]

Tyler Glasnow Feels Really Good

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) threw from 75 feet on Sunday morning and said he felt "really good." Fantasy owners must remain patient, though, since Glasnow isn't expected to be back until after the All-Star break. The 25-year-old right-hander was one of the best pitchers in baseball before his injury, though, going […]

Freddy Peralta Likely To Enter Rotation

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said pitcher Freddy Peralta will likely make a start with both Jhoulys Chacin and Gio Gonzalez on the injured list. Peralta has been much better in relief of late, but he's 2-2 on the year with a 5.68 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 43 strikeouts in 38 innings in six starts […]

Brett Anderson Should Be OK

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that starting pitcher Brett Anderson (side) should be OK moving forward after being pulled as a precaution on Saturday with a side/rib issue that he was dealing with this week. The left-hander allowed six hits (one homer) and three earned run while walking two and fanning two in the […]
