Jalen Beeks Expected To Pitch Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jalen Beeks is expected to follow the opener Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. The Rays have been somewhat tough to predict when it comes to the opener days, especially with the multiple postponed games that they’ve had so far. Beeks has been very good in his 25 2/3 innings, posting a 2.45 […]

Xander Bogaerts Hits Grand Slam

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts put the White Sox away with a grand slam in the eighth inning to go ahead 9-2. Fantasy managers would like to see him improve on his .264 batting average, but shouldn’t complain about his six homers, 22 runs, and 22 RBI so far. Bogaerts should also be expected […]

Rick Porcello Just Short Of Win

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello gave up a game-tying home run to Jose Abreu in the sixth inning to squander his win on Sunday. He was otherwise sharp against a weak White Sox lineup, allowing two earned runs and striking out seven through six innings. He’s trending up as he has notched quality […]

Jonathan Loaisiga To Enter Rotation

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga will enter the starting rotation in place of James Paxton (knee), according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Jordan Zimmermann Does Light Tossing

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (elbow) did some light tossing on Sunday for the first time since his elbow injury.

Danny Salazar Shut Down For A Couple Of Days

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar (shoulder) suffered a setback in his rehab, according to manager Terry Francona. "It's probably been about a week now," Francona said.

Ronald Guzman Expected To Return Thursday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list on Thursday. It could force the team to designate either infielders Logan Forsythe or Danny Santana for assignment. Outfielder Delino DeShields could also be optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Santana has been hitting very well this season and can also play […]

Rougned Odor Not In Danger Of Being Demoted

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is not in danger of being optioned to the minors in light of his recent slump at the plate. He hit a two-run homer in the second inning on Sunday to snap an 0-for-21 slump and followed it up with an RBI single in the fifth inning. Odor said […]

Didi Gregorius To Conclude Throwing Program

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) will conclude his throwing program this week and the organization has targeted May 20 for the veteran to begin playing in extended spring training games in Florida.

Dellin Betances Will Begin Throwing On Monday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) will resume throwing on Monday and the team is "hopeful" he will be able to return in June, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday. Betances is an important part of the bullpen for the Yankees, posting a 4-6 record, four saves and 20 holds with a 2.70 […]

Luis Severino Out Until At Least The All-Star Break

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder), who is dealing with a strained latissimus muscle, will not be back "until after the All-Star break," general manager Brian Cashman said in a satellite radio interview on Sunday.

Aaron Hicks Might Be Activated Within A Week

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Class A Tampa this week, and he might come back from the 10-day disabled list as soon as next weekend, general manager Brian Cashman said on MLB Radio Network on Sunday.

James Paxton Might Miss Up To Three Weeks

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (knee) might be sidelined as many as three weeks, general manager Brian Cashman said on MLB Network Radio on Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Cody Allen (back) is expected to come off the 10-day injured list when first eligible on Tuesday. Allen is expected to be used in lower leverage situations until he irons out his control issues, which is essentially the same role he was used prior to his injury. Ty Buttrey and […]

Cody Bellinger Remains Sidelined On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger (shoulder) did shoulder exercises on the field with a trainer before Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres, and he was able to play catch to test his right shoulder while also hitting in the batting cage, too. However, he missed his second consecutive game. The team is […]

Eloy Jimenez Continues To Progress In Rehab

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) is scheduled to travel with the big club for their road series against the Cleveland Indians. He continues to progress, and the scenario for the outfielder appears a lot more favorable than it did originally when he was injured. Still, he might need a minor-league rehab stint. Fantasy […]

Travis d'Arnaud Signs With The Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent catcher Travis D'Arnaud (Mets) to a one-year contract on Sunday and they optioned infielder/outfielder Matt Beaty to Triple-A Oklahoma City in the corresponding roster move.

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (forearm) is dealing with a nerve issue in his forearm. Manager Mickey Callaway said on Sunday that Matz is going back to New York for further testing.

Jason Vargas Checks Out Of Game Early

New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas (hamstring) left Sunday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers due to tightness in his hamstring. He allowed three earned runs, three hits and no walks with five strikeouts across four innings in a loss. Vargas ended up throwing 36 of his 50 pitches for strikes before departing, and his […]

Lorenzo Cain Ruled Out For Monday's Game

Updating a previous report, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (hand) will not be available for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals after leaving Sunday with a hand contusion as the result of a hit by pitch. Manager Craig Counsell ruled Cain out for Monday's game, but Cain said the hand is swollen, but good, and […]

Kelvin Herrera Leaves Sunday's Game

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (back) left his appearance in Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox due to stiffness in his lower back. He is considered day to day. Something was certainly wrong, as he was hammered for five earned runs, three hits and two walks while retiring just two batters in […]

Adam Engel, Caleb Frare Optioned To Charlotte

The Chicago White Sox optioned outfielder Adam Engel and pitcher Caleb Frare to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday. A couple of days ago it was expected Engel might stick around as the fourth outfielder, but he is slashing just .212/.281/.346 in 58 plate appearances with the big club. It's uncertain who will be coming up to […]

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong had a great game on Sunday, hitting a home run and two singles, finishing 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, and two RBI.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna hit another home run on Sunday, his 11th of the season. He finished 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Ozuna's slashing .267/.353/.600 and has been on quite a tear lately. He's worth starting in all formats until he cools down.
