Cody Bellinger Hit By Pitch, Leaves Game Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Cody Bellinger was hit by a pitch on the right knee on Monday and had to leave the game early. He entered the game leading the National League with nine home runs and 22 runs scored, and he had an RBI double in the first inning before his injury. Bellinger tried […]

Mike Mayers Coughs Up Three Runs While Only Getting Two Outs

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Mike Mayers had a rough outing against the Brewers on Monday, recording just two outs but allowing three runs on two hits and two walks. The damage came on a three-run home run off the bat of Christian Yelich, breaking a 3-3 tie. Mayers is a solid reliever, but he's […]

Dakota Hudson Struggles on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson struggled on Monday against the Brewers, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three and needed 79 pitches to get his 11 outs. Hudson made it through the first inning unscathed, but coughed up all six of his runs […]

Rich Hill Hoping For Only One Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) is hoping to join the major league rotation after his rehab start with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday. It won't be up to Hill ultimately, but it's good to see that he's being optimistic. If the veteran left-hander does only make one rehab start, he'd be unlikely […]

No Timetable For Alex Wood

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Alex Wood (back), who had a setback on the last day of spring training, has no timetable for when he'll begin a rehab assignment and is taking things one day at a time. The left-hander won't be back until at least sometime in May. Moving from the Dodgers to the Reds […]

Chad Bettis Removed From Rotation

Colorado Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis has been removed from the starting rotation now that Antonio Senzatela (heel) is back from the injured list. Starter Tyler Anderson (knee) is also working his way back to health and should rejoin the rotation soon. Bettis has been a disaster this year, sporting an 8.78 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and […]

David Dahl Inching Closer To Return

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (core) is moving closer to a return and is scheduled to play in an extended spring training game on Tuesday. Dahl's injured list stint expires on April 18, when he'll be eligible to return. The left-handed hitter should remain stashed in all formats. He was off to a hot start […]

Tyler Anderson Throws Without Issues

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (knee) threw in extended spring training on Monday and didn't have any issues with his knee, according to manager Bud Black. The left-hander allowed a whopping 18 hits and 11 earned runs in nine innings in his two starts this year before going on the injured list. Anderson can […]

Chris Iannetta Lands On Injured List, Antonio Senzatela Back

The Colorado Rockies placed catcher Chris Iannetta on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right lat strain and activated starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (heel) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Senzatela was set to start on Monday night against the Padres. He went 6-6 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 outings […]

Ervin Santana Allows Three Runs

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ervin Santana went five innings on Monday versus his former team, the Kansas City Royals. Santana let up all of his runs on home runs. Santana is now sporting a 9.00 ERA over his first two starts and will square off versus the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Santana can be […]

Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. Questionable For Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielders Andrew Benintendi (foot) and Jackie Bradley Jr. (illness) are both questionable to play on Tuesday. "We’ll see. Jackie feels better. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow. Beni, a lot better. We’ll see when we get there what lineup we have," manager Alex Cora said. Benintendi fouled a ball off his foot […]

Garrett Cooper Working Out

Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper (calf) has started running and taking batting practice as he works his way back from a calf strain. Cooper went 0-for-7 with a strikeout before landing on the injured list. He's an option for some outfield playing time when he's healthy, and he can also play some first base if […]

J.D. Davis Set To Play Some Outfield

The New York Mets have been prepping third baseman J.D. Davis to play some left field. It's presumably because Todd Frazier (oblique) is coming close to returning from the injured list, and he's expected to share playing time at the hot corner with Davis and Jeff McNeil. Davis has hit .257 (9-for-35) with three homers […]

Jeremy Jeffress Expected To Be Activated Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) was not activated from the injured list on Monday, but manager Craig Counsell said that it could come on Tuesday. Jeffress struggled in his short rehab assignment, but the main thing is that he is healthy will provide Milwaukee with another late-inning arm to help take the pressure […]

Yu Darvish Picks Up First Victory

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish picked up his first win of the season on Monday versus the Miami Marlins. Darvish went 5 2/3 innings and allowed four hits, two runs, four walks and struck out eight. The eight strikeouts are encouraging, but Darvish needs to limit the walks to help fantasy owners. Darvish will […]

Javier Baez Picks Up Three Hits On Monday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 3-for-5 on Monday versus the Miami Marlins. Baez also knocked in a run and scored twice. The nice outing raises the shortstop's average to .288 on the season. Baez remains one of the better middle infield options in all formats.

Willson Contreras Goes Yard Again

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras went deep for the sixth time this year on Monday versus the Miami Marlins. Contreras hasn’t missed a beat on the young season and finished the game 2-for-3 with a walk, run scored and three RBI. Contreras remains one of the best options behind the dish in all formats.

David Bote Drives In Three Runs

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote went 1-for-5 with three RBI on Monday versus the Miami Marlins. Bote doesn’t play every day, but he has hit .258 on the young season. Without having everyday at-bats, Bote isn’t worth a look outside of deeper NL-only leagues.

Noah Syndergaard Struggles on Monday

New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard had another tough outing on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Syndergaard lasted only five innings, allowing nine hits and five runs to go along with three walks. He fanned nine. The strikeouts were the lone bright spot for the Mets ace on a night in which he was inefficient […]

Jay Bruce is Sitting on Monday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians. This appears to just be a normal rest day for Bruce, as the M's want to get their other sluggers in the lineup. Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup, while […]

Clayton Kershaw Activated on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He will make his season debut versus the Cincinnati Reds following a shoulder issue that caused him to miss the beginning of the season. Kershaw will have a pitch count of 90 on Monday, so DFS players […]

Tyler O'Neill Exits Early on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (arm) left Monday's game versus the Milwaukee Brewers after making a throw from center field to home plate. The injury is being called right arm soreness. Hopefully this is a minor issue because O'Neill was hitting fairly well to start the season. Harrison Bader (hamstring) is sidelined as well, […]

Jason Kipnis Activated From Injured List

Cleveland Indians infielder Jason Kipnis (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Kipnis has been sidelined all season due to a strained right calf. He struggled heavily during his rehab assignment, so there's little confidence he'll succeed much on the Indians. He's not going to have an impact in most fantasy […]

Jake Bauers Sitting on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Jake Bauers (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This is not too surprising with lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for Seattle. Carlos Gonzalez will bat third and play left field for the Indians, but he's not going to be much of a fantasy […]

Nick Senzel Plays In Extended Spring Game

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel (ankle) played in an extended spring training game on Monday, going three innings and getting two plate appearances. The 23-year-old suffered a sprained ankle earlier this year. Senzel is expected to play five innings on Wednesday as he's gradually prepped for lengthier activity. The center fielder/third baseman is ranked as the […]

Shohei Ohtani Cleared For Live Pitching

Doctors have cleared Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) to face live pitching. He can reportedly commence this process in about a week, a major step forward in his comeback process. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year has been out following Tommy John surgery. Manager Brad Ausmus has stated he would either go […]

Mike Montgomery Set For Tuesday Rehab Start

After throwing a successful bullpen session last week, Chicago Cubs pitcher Mike Montgomery will take part in a rehab start Tuesday. Weather permitting, the 29-year-old will throw two innings for the Single-A South Bend Cubs. Montgomery has been sidelined with a mild left lat strain. Prior to his injury, he made four appearances for the […]

Miguel Sano Headed For Extended Spring Training

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano told reporters Monday that he's headed to Florida for his own form of spring training as his return nears. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since before the season with a right heel laceration. Having missed all of spring training, he'll go through the process before a likely stint in […]

Tyler Skaggs Lands On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs landed on the injured list Monday as he deals with a left ankle sprain. Skaggs told reporters he injured his ankle fielding a bunt over the weekend as the Angels took on the Chicago Cubs. The 27-year-old also stated he expected this to be a brief stint and expects […]

Lourdes Gurriel To Be Exclusive DH In Buffalo

After being sent down to Triple-A Buffalo with Eric Sogard getting the promotion to the big leagues, the Blue Jays will play middle infielder Lourdes Gurriel exclusively as a designated hitter. The 25-year-old has had an abysmal start to the 2019 season and is reportedly not comfortable to play the field at the moment. Gurriel hit […]
