Tyler White To Lose Playing Time

Mike Moustakas Homers On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a home runs, two RBI and two runs in Thursday's win over the Phillies. Moustakas was actually playing third base with the demotion of Travis Shaw and the Brewers bringing up Keston Hiura to play second, so Moustakas looks to be the everyday third baseman at […]

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider (elbow) visited with Dr. James Andrews, who confirmed the initial diagnosis of a right flexor strain.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 3-for-5 with two homers, a double, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base in Thursday's win against the Phillies.

Oakland Athletics starting pitchers Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) and A.J. Puk (elbow) are both making progress from their injuries. Luzardo threw his first bullpen session on Tuesday.

Greg Bird Moving Slowly

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird (foot) still isn't doing any baseball activities, and manager Aaron Boone said "it's going slow." "He’s rehabbing, making some progress. I know he’s been on the (treadmill), but not ready to start doing baseball stuff yet," Boone said. Bird is dealing with a plantar fascia tear in his […]

Dellin Betances Throws Tuesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) played catch from 90 feet on Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Boone doesn't know when Betances will throw from a mound, but once he does, he could progress quickly. The hard-throwing right-hander hasn't pitched at all this year due to a shoulder impingement, but he could […]

Jharel Cotton To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jharel Cotton (elbow) will begin his rehab assignment with High-A Stockton on Friday. He figures to need a handful of starts before Oakland considers him for their rotation sometime in June.

Justin Upton Doing Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (toe) has started throwing and hitting in a cage, but there's still no timetable for when he'll be ready for a return.

Kenta Maeda Expected To Hit Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda will likely be placed on the injured list, according to a Dodgers contributor for the LA Times.

Andrew Heaney Feels Fine After Extended Spring Outing

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) threw 58 pitches over four innings in an extended spring training game on Wednesday and said he felt fine.

Orlando Arcia Picking It Up

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia started the year off slow but was hitting .290 (26-for-124) with three home runs and 10 RBI since the first 20 at-bats of his season entering Wednesday's game. He's mostly hit eighth in the lineup in 2019, however, which keeps his fantasy value somewhat capped. Arcia hit .236 with a […]

Chase Anderson To Start Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson (finger) will start against the Braves on Saturday when he comes off the injured list, according to manager Craig Counsell. He'll be taking the rotation spot of Freddy Peralta after he went four innings on Monday against the Phillies and allowed two runs with no walks and five strikeouts. […]

Martin Perez To Make Next Start On Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Martin Perez (foot) is listed as the starter on Friday against the Mariners after leaving his last start early due to a foot contusion from a line drive. The 28-year-old left-hander has reinvented himself in Minnesota this year and should be owned in all leagues. He's 5-1 with a 3.11 ERA, […]
