Khris Davis is Back on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Davis left Sunday's game against the Pirates after suffering a left hip contusion. Davis will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter versus righty Tyler Mahle. Davis is always a threat to go deep […]

Ben Zobrist is Scratched on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Zobrist was replacing the left-handed hitting Kyle Schwarber versus lefty Caleb Smith. However, Zobrist is not playing due to a personal matter. Schwarber will bat eighth and play left field versus Smith. Schwarber is not a recommended fantasy option on […]

C.J. Cron Will Rest on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cron hasn't hit overly well this season besides his six home runs, so the Twins will rest their struggling slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will slide over to first base and bat sixth against righty Aaron […]

Melky Cabrera is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It does not appear that anything is wrong with Cabrera, but the Pirates want to give their veteran outfielder a day off. Bryan Reynolds will draw the start in left field and bat fifth versus righty […]

Nomar Mazara is Sitting Against Lefty

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mazara is fine, but the Rangers want to give him a day off and he's not overly great against left-handed pitching. Hunter Pence will draw the start in right field and bat cleanup versus lefty Steven […]

Kyle Schwarber is Sitting on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Fantasy owners can relax, as this is not injury-related. Schwarber is struggling at the plate, and facing lefty Caleb Smith isn't going to help his fantasy value. Ben Zobrist will draw the start in left field […]

Zack Cozart is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Cozart missed almost two weeks of action due to neck discomfort. He was struggling at the plate before the injury, so Cozart can be ignored in most fantasy leagues for the moment.

Lorenzo Cain Returns to the Lineup on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cain left early during Sunday's contest after taking a pitch off the hand. The X-rays were negative and Cain is back in the starting lineup for this one. Cain will lead off and play center field […]

Shohei Ohtani is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Ohtani has missed the first six weeks of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Ohtani is not going to pitch this summer, but he will serve as the designated hitter for the Angels. He's batting […]

Adrian Houser Will Be the Opener on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser will draw the start as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Houser is only expected to pitch an inning or two in this game. Righty Freddy Peralta will come in afterwards, so he's the better fantasy option out of the two. Peralta has struggled in the early […]

David Price Throws On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) threw on flat ground on Tuesday. Price landed on the injured list Monday due to tendinitis in his left elbow. It appears Price is going to miss a start or two, but hopefully nothing more than that. He's making progress and he feels good after throwing on […]

Matt Olson is Activated on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Olson suffered a hamate bone fracture during the first series of the season. The Athletics haven't announced their lineup yet, but Olson is expected to be in it. Fantasy owners may want to be patient with Olson because […]

Trea Turner is Hitting Off A Tee

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (finger) begin hitting off a tee two days ago. Turner was placed on the injured list April 3 due to a fracture in his right index finger. However, Turner is quickly making progress and could return to the Nats lineup by the middle of May.

David Robertson To Begin Throwing on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (elbow) is scheduled to begin a throwing program on Friday. Robertson landed on the injured list April 15 due to a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. There is a chance that Robertson is able to return to the bullpen by late May. Hector Neris seems to […]

Brent Honeywell Not Throwing Off Mound Yet

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Brent Honeywell (elbow) has progressed to playing catch after a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery in mid-April. He had the surgery in February of 2018 and was on track for a late-May return before experiencing elbow soreness. Upon being shut down weeks ago, it was anticipated that his […]

Anthony Rendon Activated, Carter Kieboom Demoted

The Washington Nationals made several moves Tuesday, activating third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) from the 10-day injured list and demoting shortstop prospect Carter Kieboom to make room. The Nationals also placed relief pitcher Tony Sipp on the injured list and called up pitcher Erick Fedde to replace him. Rendon and his .356/.442/.740 slash line should re-enter fantasy […]

Tommy La Stella Has Seven RBI Over Last Seven Games

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Tommy La Stella will enter Tuesday's action with seven runs batted in over his last seven games. La Stella has been a pleasant surprise to begin the season and already has a career-high seven home runs this season. His current slugging percentage of .500 is bound to regress and he […]

Mike Trout Needs More RBI Opportunities

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and Co. will open up a series in Detroit on Tuesday night against the Tigers. Since returning to the lineup from a groin injury on April 15, Trout is only 16-for-68 (.235) with only six extra-base hits. Furthermore, Trout is 100 at-bats into his season, but only 10 of […]

Jose Altuve Slugging Only .300 Over Last 15 Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the Astros win over the Royals on Monday. The former MVP has struggled since popping six home runs in a five-game stretch in early April and is 6-for-40 (.150) over his last 12 games played while slugging only .300 over his last 15 […]

George Springer Continues To Slug

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer popped his 11th home run of the season Monday night against the Royals. Springer got a rare start at designated hitter and went 2-for-5 in the game and now is slashing .346/.400/.769 over his last seven games with three home runs and seven runs batted in. He currently leads the […]

Roberto Osuna Pitching Lights-Out

Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna picked up his eighth save of the season as the Astros took down the Royals 6-4 on Monday. Osuna struck out one hitter in the scoreless frame and now has allowed only one hit since April 5, a streak spanning 12 1/3 innings. Osuna's numbers are eye-popping right now, allowing […]

Avisail Garcia Resting Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Brandon Lowe will get the nod in right field and will bat leadoff against Diamondbacks starter Taylor Clarke, who will be making his first big league start. Lowe has a hit in all six games so far in May (9-for-24, .375) […]

Dallas Keuchel Not Settling On Open Market

Free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel continues to be available on the open market, but he continues to hold firm for what he thinks is fair value. The 31-year-old is healthy after posting a 3.74 ERA in 200-plus innings for the Astros last season, but teams are hesitant to give up a draft pick for less […]

Raisel Iglesias Not Happy With Usage

Cincinnati Reds closer Raisel Iglesias, who has a career-worst 4.86 ERA and has already lost five games, disagrees with the way the team has been using him in some games this year. Iglesias is trying to adapt to the lack of control on his slider, and he entered a tie game in the ninth inning […]

Blake Snell Back On Track

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell wiped away some concerns against the Diamondbacks on Monday by throwing six shutout innings with nine strikeouts, one hit, and no walks. Managers had some concern over his prior two outings in which he only pitched a total of 6 1/3 innings, allowed nine earned runs, and only […]

Tommy Pham Hits Grand Slam

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham went 2-for-4 with a grand slam on Monday against the Diamondbacks. It was a rough day for Arizona’s pitching staff, as they let up 12 runs. Pham is now hitting .302/.411/.468 with five home runs and six stolen bases. He’s showing his worth by putting up one of the […]

James Shields Getting Looks From Three Teams

Free-agent starting pitcher James Shields remains focused on continuing his major league career, and officials from the Tigers, Indians and Rangers have observed his throwing sessions in recent weeks, according to sources. The 37-year-old wasn't close to signing with a team as of Monday night, but his market is expected to take shape in the […]

Giants Call Up Mac Williamson

The San Francisco Giants recalled outfielder Mac Williamson from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday after he hit .378 with a 1.215 OPS in the minors, including three home runs on Monday night. He had nine home runs on the season on the farm. He has showed more plate discipline this year with 11 walks in his […]
