New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) is dealing with a bone inflammation in his right knee and has been told to rest for 15 days.

Joey Votto Experiences Back Tightness

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Joey Votto (back, ankle) experienced some lower-back tightness but should return to the Florida Complex League for minor-league rehab games later this week.

Jordan Romano, Yimi Garcia Playing Catch

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) played some light catch on Monday. Meanwhile, fellow reliever Yimi Garcia (elbow) was throwing from 120 feet.

Bo Bichette On Track To Return Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) ran the bases, did some hitting and also did some fielding on Monday and is on pace to return from the injured list on Monday.

Joe Musgrove To Play Catch On Monday

San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (elbow) was scheduled to play catch on Monday for the first time since he was shut down with right-elbow inflammation and subsequently diagnosed with a bone spur.

However, he strained his oblique last week, and […]

Anthony Rendon Runs The Bases Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) ran the bases on Monday for the first time as part of his rehab. There remains no timetable for Rendon to return from a serious left-hamstring injury, so fantasy managers in deeper formats shouldn't expect to see him back in the big leagues until sometime in the […]

Zach Neto Returns To Angels Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics and right-hander Luis Medina, playing shortstop and batting sixth in the order.

The Cleveland Guardians have put together one heck of a first half to the 2024 season as they trail only the Yankees in the American League in the win column.

The Kansas City Royals placed veteran infielder Adam Frazier (thumb) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 23) with a right-thumb strain on Monday and selected the contract of infielder CJ Alexander from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz has been suspended 10 games for violating the rules on foreign substances.

Should I Stash Dylan Crews In Redraft Leagues? Week 14 (2024)

When a premium prospect gets a promotion to Triple-A, the fantasy baseball community takes notice. Such was recently the case for Dylan Crews, the Washington Nationals' latest outfield prospect to turn heads. He joined James Wood at Triple-A Rochester to form the buzziest outfield duo in the minors. DYLAN CREWS' FIRST TRIPLE-A HIT IS A […]

Eloy Jimenez Remains In The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) remains in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is somewhat surprising considering Jimenez mentioned experiencing hamstring soreness in his return on Sunday.

Clayton Kershaw Shut Down From Throwing

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) won't make a start on Tuesday and will be shut down from throwing for a week.

Eligible to return from his 80-game suspension on June 27, Cincinnati Reds prospect Noelvi Marte is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval (elbow) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery. The southpaw was recently placed on the injured list due to an elbow issue.

Teoscar Hernandez Absent On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Shane Baz Dominating In Triple-A

Through four starts in June, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane Baz has been impeccable with Triple-A Durham. He's thrown 18 innings, with a 1.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 28:8 K/BB ratio.

Daulton Varsho Sidelined Against Boston

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Monday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Reds Put TJ Friedl On 10-Day Injured List
