Clint Frazier Breaks Out With Two Home Runs

Entering Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier had been struggling. While he was batting .324 with six home runs and 17 RBI through his first 18 games of the season, an ankle injury sidelined him. Since he returned from injury, he was batting a measly .105 entering Tuesday, but […]

Pedro Baez Injured Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Pedro Baez (knee) left the game on Tuesday after taking a line drive off his right knee. He had to be helped off the field and wasn't putting much weight on his right leg, which obviously isn't a great sign. The team said he officially left the game with "a […]

Francisco Cervelli Has Upper Chest Contusion

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (chest) left the game early on Tuesday as a precaution with an upper chest contusion. Consider Cervelli day-to-day for now. The struggling backstop was benched in the four-game series against the Padres last weekend. He had a single in his two plate appearances on Tuesday and […]

Domingo German Now At Nine Victories

Entering Tuesday night as the majors' wins leader, New York Yankees starter Domingo German extended his lead as his club coasted to an 11-4 victory. The 26-year-old wasn't quite sharp on the night, but with extensive run support, he didn't need to be at the top of his game. He went just five innings, laboring […]

Khris Davis Will Go On Injured List

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that outfielder Khris Davis (hip) will go on the injured list with a hip contusion. Davis has been in and out of the lineup ever since his hip injury on May 5, although he's hit .346 (9-for-26) with two homers and three RBI since then. While it's bad news […]

Nelson Cruz Hits In Cage Tuesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz hit in the cage on Tuesday and plans to participate in batting practice on Wednesday as he recovers from a wrist injury. Cruz has been out of action since May 14 and is hoping to return to the lineup when first eligible this Friday. The veteran slugger has seven […]

Gary Sanchez Stays Hot With Home Run

Just as he capped off Monday night's game with a three-run home run, New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez kicked off Tuesday's game with a blast. The former All-Star drilled another three-run home run in the first inning, essentially putting the game away early. The Yankees would double their lead two innings later and coasted […]

DJ LeMahieu Leaves After Foul Ball Off Foot

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) exited Tuesday's game early after fouling a ball off of his foot in the sixth inning. The move was likely precautionary, as the Yanks were off to an 11-3 lead, but look for an update after the game. Lemahieu stayed hot in this one, going 3-for-4 with a […]

Roberto Perez Getting Evaluated For Head Injury

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an undisclosed head injury. He was 0-for-2 on the night and is getting further evaluated on his injury as a concussion is always in play for backstops. Perez has been hitting surprisingly well in the power department this season clubbing […]

No Timetable For Scooter Gennett

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) has joined the team on their road trip, but Gennett and Reds manager David Bell said the earliest possible return date (Sunday) is out of the question. Gennett is guessing a couple more weeks, but he doesn't have an exact timetable for his return. The plan was for […]

Francisco Cervelli Exits Early Tuesday

The Pittsburgh Pirates lifted catcher Francisco Cervelli (neck) early in Tuesday's game versus the Rockies after he took a pitch in his neck area. He had sat in the last four games, giving way to Elias Diaz behind the dish, but the team hadn't announced anything wrong with him health-wise prior to this evening, as […]

Ender Inciarte Yet To Begin Baseball Activities

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte hasn't begun any baseball activities yet as he sits on the IL with a lumbar strain. The 28-year-old is expected to be out of the Braves lineup for about another month, and he may be relegated to a bench role upon arrival. With Austin Riley crushing it at the big […]

Wil Myers On The Bench Tuesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is taking a seat Tuesday as the team squares off against Zack Greinke and the Diamondbacks. To say Myers is having a disappointing season would be an understatement as he's slashing .228/.296/.414 with seven homers in 46 games for the Friars. He's struck out at an alarming 37.7% of […]

Mike Zunino, Michael Perez Progressing

Tampa Bay Rays catchers Mike Zunino (quadriceps) and Michael Perez (oblique) continue to progress from their respective injuries. Zunino has been hitting and doing light squatting, while Perez has been limited to hitting off a tee due to minor discomfort when he swings. Both players think they could be back in the lineup in the […]

Matt Duffy Closer To Returning

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy (hamstring) is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on Monday and is getting closer to a return to the lineup. He has played third base, shortstop and left field during his rehab assignment and was set to play seven innings in left field on Tuesday for Triple-A […]

Gregory Polanco Scratched With Finger Discomfort

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (finger) was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday with "finger discomfort" that he suffered after jamming a finger in his left hand on Sunday. Make sure to remove Polanco from your daily lineups on Tuesday and consider him day-to-day moving forward. The left-handed hitter got a […]

Jeremy Hellickson Throws After Going On Injured List

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez referred to starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson's (shoulder) injury as "tendinitis." Hellickson said he felt "OK" after throwing with a doctor's blessing after landing on the injured list on Tuesday. It might be a quick return for the 32-year-old veteran, but fantasy owners should leave him to the waiver wire in […]

Manny Banuelos To Throw Bullpen Wednesday

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said that starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) played catch on Tuesday and will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday before they determine if they want to start him on Saturday against the Twins. The 28-year-old right-hander has a scary 7.26 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 32 strikeouts to 19 walks […]

Rehab Updates On Lonnie Chisenhall, Corey Dickerson

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) is away from his minor league rehab assignment for non-injury reasons, according to manager Clint Hurdle. Outfielder Corey Dickerson (shoulder) is scheduled to throw to the bases on Tuesday. Chisenhall hasn't played since May 15, so it's obviously a concern as he tries to work his way back […]

Khris Davis Leaves Early Again Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis (hip) left the game early on Tuesday with what the A's are calling lingering effects from his hip contusion. The 31-year-old just can't seem to shake his hip injury, so there's an increasing likelihood that he'll need to go on the injured list. Davis grounded out meagerly in his only […]

Ozzie Albies Resting Tuesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Johan Camargo will start at second base and bat eighth against Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson on Tuesday evening. Albies has slowed down in May, hitting .218 (17-for-78) with a homer, nine RBI and one steal, so hopefully this day of […]

Alex Cobb's Return Not Close

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that starting pitcher Alex Cobb (back) remains in Florida and his return to the team is "open-ended." Back problems have haunted the veteran right-hander all year. Cobb is 0-2 with an ugly 10.95 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings over his three starts. Even when […]

Jesus Luzardo Could Face Hitters This Weekend

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session and could face live hitters on Saturday. The 21-year-old southpaw is the team's No. 1 prospect and is ranked as the second best left-handed prospect in all of baseball, so he's worth a stash in most leagues for his upside. He should get […]

A.J. Puk, Jharel Cotton Making Progress

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher A.J. Puk (elbow) will throw another simulated game on Friday, while starter Jharel Cotton (elbow) will make another rehab start for High-A Stockton on Wednesday. Puk, the team's No. 2 prospect and No. 4 left-handed prospect in baseball, should be an option for the team's rotation in the second half of […]

Aledmys Diaz Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after suffering a left hamstring strain last Friday. He is starting at second base and is batting sixth against White Sox starter Dylan Covey. Diaz has hit well (.266, five homers and 21 RBI) in limited playing time this year in […]

Joey Wendle To Undergo X-Rays Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle (wrist) will undergo X-rays on Wednesday and is hoping to be cleared to increase his baseball activities. Wendle has been out since late April and is hitting just .136/.240/.182 with no homers and two RBI in his 22 at-bats on the season. He should be able to return sometime […]

J.D. Martinez Out Sick Tuesday

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (illness) is out of the lineup on Tuesday because he's sick. It helps explain why he hasn't played in the last two games, so his fantasy owners can relax a little bit. The 31-year-old continues to mash this year, hitting .308/.390/.521 with nine home runs, […]

Jon Berti Lands On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left oblique strain and called up outfielder Austin Dean from Triple-A New Orleans in a corresponding move. Berti was shaken up after crashing into the outfield wall trying to make a catch on Sunday. The earliest he can […]

Gregory Polanco is Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Polanco was in the lineup, but he was scratched for an unknown reason. Melky Cabrera will play right field and bat fifth versus righty German Marquez. Cabrera doesn't have much upside for DFS contests. Hopefully there […]

Matt Beaty Hitting Leadoff Against Rays

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Matt Beaty is serving as the designated hitter and is in the leadoff spot on Tuesday against the Rays on the road. Beaty has three hits in his first eight big league at-bats with one RBI. Tampa will use an opener and Jalen Beeks will follow on Tuesday. Beaty will […]
