Justin Upton Running On Treadmill

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (toe) is jogging on an anti-gravity treadmill as he recovers from turf toe. Upton probably won't return until next month and has been out all season. The Halos are missing his power strike tremendously, especially as protection for superstar Mike Trout. The sooner they can get him back, the […]

Garrett Cooper Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (hand) is starting a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter on Wednesday. He should be able to rejoin the team before long and could get semi-regular at-bats at either first base or in the outfield. The 28-year-old is hitless in his eight at-bats so far this year and has already […]

Brock Holt Hopes To Start Rehab Assignment Soon

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (shoulder) received a pain-killing injection in his shoulder and is feeling much better. He's hoping to start a rehab assignment soon. The Red Sox have Michael Chavis and Eduardo Nunez as second base options, and Dustin Pedroia (knee) and Holt should return soon. That's too many bodies for one […]

Delino DeShields Sent To Minors

The Texas Rangers optioned outfielder Delino DeShields to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. General manager Jon Daniels expects DeShields to play every day down on the farm and help the big league club eventually again this year. The speedster did have seven steals in 30 games, but he was also batting just .182 with a homer […]

Daniel Descalso Still Not Ready For Full Game

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso (ankle) is still a few days from being ready to play a full nine innings, according to president Theo Epstein. It's the reason why the team called up Addison Russell to play the keystone on Wednesday with Ben Zobrist (personal) away from the team. Descalso, 32, doesn't have a whole […]

Ryon Healy Rips Three Doubles in Offensive Outburst

Seattle Mariners corner infielder Ryon Healy took over the major league lead in doubles on Wednesday with a trio of them in their lopsided win. He went 4-for-5 on the night with a pair of runs scored and RBI as he now has 16 doubles on the year. We hope some of these convert to […]

Andrew Heaney To Face Hitters Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) will go three innings and/or 45 pitches against hitters in extended spring training on Friday, according to general manager Billy Eppler. Heaney is getting close to some rehab starts and to making his season debut for the Halos. The 27-year-old left-hander has ace potential for the Halos […]

Yusei Kikuchi Notches Second Career Win

Seattle Mariners starter Yusei Kikuchi had an excellent outing Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. He held the Bronx Bombers to just one run on three hits and a walk after he struck out a trio over 7 2/3 strong innings. The left-hander carried an unimpressive 4.68 ERA over his first six starts but has since […]

Giants-Rockies Game Postponed Wednesday

The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies game at Coors Field has been postponed due to inclement weather on Wednesday. The game is expected to be made up in July. Starters Derek Holland and Jon Gray are expected to be pushed back to Thursday for the series finale. Get whatever bats you have between the […]

Mac Williamson Starting Again Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson will start in left field and bat sixth on Wednesday against righty Jon Gray. Williamson was just called up on Tuesday and went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, two runs scored and four total RBI. He smashed his way to a call-up, hitting nine homers and slashing .378/.459/.756 in […]

Chris Taylor Sitting Against Righty

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Chris Taylor will take a seat Wednesday night against right-handed pitcher Mike Foltynewicz. The Dodgers are rolling out six lefties, as they often play the best matchups. This can cause frustration for fantasy managers, specifically ones who own either Taylor or Alex Verdugo. With A.J. Pollock (elbow) out at least […]

Khris Davis Back In Lineup Wednesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds. Davis had suffered a hip contusion on Sunday that has made him day-to-day since. He’ll look to continue to defend his home run title from 2018 against righty Sonny Gray. Davis is slashing .229/.303/.481 with 10 home runs and 26 […]

Michael Chavis May Be An Outfield Option

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis was seen tracking balls in the outfield during batting practice on Wednesday. The Red Sox would benefit from the versatility if Chavis were able to occasionally start in one of the corner outfield spots. With Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi’s ability to each play center, it would give […]

Amed Rosario Wraps Up Road Trip With RBI

While the New York Mets didn't enjoy a successful road trip, shortstop Amed Rosario showed signs of life at the plate. The 23-year-old recorded an RBI single in the first inning of Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against the San Diego Padres. It was his only hit on the day, but Rosario concluded his road trip with […]

Nathaniel Lowe Sent Back To Minors

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is being sent back to the minors on Wednesday. This is interesting news, as manager Kevin Cash has had nothing but good things to say about him and he has been off to a solid start. However, the Rays will need a spot for outfielder Austin Meadows (thumb), who […]

Wilmer Font Goes Four Innings In First Mets Start

Days after being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Mets pitcher Wilmer Font made his first start for the Mets. Taking on the San Diego Padres in a series finale, the 28-year-old went just four innings, allowing two runs on three hits while throwing 60 pitches in the process. Font's spot start, just the […]

Keone Kela Lands on Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Keone Kela (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Kela left Saturday's game versus the Athletics due to right shoulder discomfort. The Pirates are likely going to wait until Friday to announce a corresponding move. Kela was struggling this season, so he can be left on the […]

Kirby Yates Records Sketchy Save

San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates recorded his 15th save Wednesday by striking out the side against the New York Mets. Summoned to protect a one-run lead, Yates yielded two two-out baserunners before retiring the final batter. Yates was untouchable in April as the NL Reliever of the Month but stumbled in consecutive losses over […]

Derek Holland Activated, Starting Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Derek Holland (finger) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Holland has been out since April 27 due to a bone bruise in his left index finger. His 5.34 ERA isn't encouraging to fantasy owners and pitching in Coors Field on Wednesday isn't going to help. Go […]

Steve Cishek Could Be Next in Line at Closer

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Steve Cishek could be the next man up for the ninth-inning role on the north side. Manager Joe Maddon told reporters that he will go with a closer-by-committee. Pedro Strop (hamstring) has been placed on the injured list, so Cishek is likely the next man up. The two most likely candidates […]

Ronald Guzman Will Be Activated on Friday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. Outfielder Delino DeShields was optioned to Triple-A after Wednesday's game. Guzman is currently rehabbing a right hamstring strain, but is expected to take DeShields' spot on the active roster. He will likely play just about every […]

Mike Zunino Leaves Early on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino (quadriceps) exited early during Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Zunino experienced some quad tightness while running to first base. The team will likely have Zunino undergo more testing to make sure it's nothing serious. There should be more information about his status in a day or two.

Ender Inciarte is Out Against Dodgers

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Inciarte will get the night off versus left-handed starter Clayton Kershaw. Johan Camargo will bat seventh and play left field versus Kershaw on Wednesday. Camargo doesn't have enough upside with the bat to warrant owning […]

Josh VanMeter Will DH on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Josh VanMeter will bat ninth and serve as the designated hitter versus lefty Brett Anderson on Wednesday. VanMeter was recently called up after hitting .336 with 13 home runs and 37 RBI in the minors through 30 games. VanMeter hit his way into the Reds lineup and could very well stay […]

David Dahl is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Colorado is facing a left-handed starter, so that could be why Dahl is out in this one. Raimel Tapia will draw the start in left field and bat fifth versus lefty Derek Holland. Tapia is […]

Daniel Murphy is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Murphy was dealing with back stiffness over the weekend, but that doesn't appear to be holding him back anymore. This is most likely just a routine day off versus the left-handed starter. Mark Reynolds […]

Buster Posey Will Rest on Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This sounds like it is just a normal rest day for the veteran catcher. The Giants want to make sure Posey stays healthy, so they continue to give him plenty of rest days. Stephen Vogt […]

Martin Prado is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears this is just a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Neil Walker will play first base and bat third versus righty Kyle Hendricks. Walker is a decent cheap option for DFS contests since […]

Cesar Hernandez Stays Hot Versus Cardinals

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez had three hits, including a home run, on Wednesday in a 5-0 win over the Cardinals. He drove in three runs in the game and was a triple shy of the cycle. Hernandez has been on fire lately with a 1.088 OPS so far in May. Hernandez also hit […]

Travis Shaw Hitless Again Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. The further we get into the season, the more things seem to be seriously concerning with Shaw. His average now sits at .172 and Shaw has 45 strikeouts in 128 at-bats. At this point, if […]
