Wandy Peralta Dealing With Triceps Injury

New York Yankees relief pitcher Wandy Peralta (triceps) is dealing with some "tricep stuff," according to manager Aaron Boone. Peralta hasn't pitched in almost a week and could be in danger of missing the remainder of the 2023 regular season. If this is the end of the line for the 32-year-old Dominican southpaw, he will […]

Luke Raley Going For MRI On His Arm

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Luke Raley (arm) said his left arm felt numb and had no strength on his last swing in Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Angles during a pinch-hitting appearance in the seventh inning, and he'll head for an MRI exam on Thursday morning. Before his appearance on Wednesday, Raley hadn't played […]

Julio Rodriguez Going For X-Rays After Hit By Pitch

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (hand) is undergoing precautionary X-rays on Wednesday after getting hit by a pitch on his left hand in the game against the Oakland Athletics. Rodriguez was hit in the hand in the third inning but stayed in for the entire game, so it doesn't seem to be an injury that […]

Byron Buxton To Start Rehab Assignment Thursday

Minnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (knee) will start a minor-league rehab assignment and serve as the DH for Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday. St. Paul's season comes to an end this Sunday, so Buxton will have a limited amount of time to play in rehab games through this weekend before the Twins consider activating […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Undergoes MRI Exam

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his right knee on Wednesday after he was scratched from the starting lineup in the Bronx against the New York Yankees. The Blue Jays will know more on his status on Thursday. It's something that has been bothering Guerrero for a […]

Willson Contreras Leaves Early With Wrist Discomfort

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (wrist) left Wednesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers with left-wrist discomfort. Contreras had an atypical bandage on his wrist in the clubhouse before the game even started, so it has been bothering him for a while. Before he was removed from the game, Contreras went hitless in his […]

Michael King Again Brilliant In Yankees Loss

New York Yankees pitcher Michael King made another terrific start Wednesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. This was by far King's best start since transitioning from the bullpen late last month. The righty went seven innings and struck out 13, giving up one run on five hits and zero walks. He threw 101 pitches, […]

Kodai Senga Grabs Quality Start, Win

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga wasn't brilliant against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, but he came away with a win nonetheless. Senga gave up two runs over six innings, though he only struck out three and gave up seven hits to go along with two walks. He was able to lower his ERA […]

Kyle Harrison To Start On Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kyle Harrison will get the nod Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Harrison was just optioned to Triple-A a few days ago, but he's back with the team and should finish out the season in the rotation. The strikeout potential is through the roof for the lefty, but he's struggled […]

Jasson Dominguez Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. The procedure also included internal bracing on his right throwing elbow. The recovery time is expected to take nine or 10 months for the talented youngster, which would put him at a return around June or July next year. Dominguez has all […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Expected To Start Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) is the probable starter for Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. Rodriguez left Monday's start early, but he appears ready to take the rubber at least once more this season. It's an enticing matchup for Rodriguez and his fantasy managers, but the Tigers could decide to play it safe […]

Clayton Kershaw To Start Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will toe the slab against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Kershaw threw four innings of shutout baseball his last time out against the Seattle Mariners and it's not known if he will be on a pitch or innings limit as he continues to deal with issues […]

Jake Burger Removed With Injury

Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger (quad) was removed early from Wednesday's game against the New York Mets due to right quad tightness. While he should be considered day-to-day, it is something to watch, as leg injuries can be tricky and Burger has been a nice fantasy contributor since being traded to the Marlins. The […]

Riley Greene Should Be Fine To Start 2024

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (elbow) is expected to be ready to begin the 2024 season after having Tommy John surgery on his right, non-throwing arm Wednesday. Greene is an intriguing player for fantasy and one to watch heading into next year. If he is indeed cleared to play to start the year, he could […]

DJ Stewart Dealing With Wrist Injury

New York Mets outfielder DJ Stewart (wrist) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Miami Marlins and was sporting a large ice wrap on his wrist before the game. With Stewart out, Rafael Ortega drew the start in left field and was hitting sixth in the batting order against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. For now, […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Scratched With Knee Discomfort

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the New York Yankees with right-knee discomfort. Cavan Biggio will instead start at first base and will bat third against Yankees right-hander Michael King, with rookie Spencer Horwitz serving as the designated hitter. It's not a new issue for Guerrero, […]

Starling Marte To Begin Rehab Assignment On Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (groin) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Thursday. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined since early August due to a groin issue. It was uncertain if Marte was going to play again this season, but it appears he will. The team is […]

Martin Perez Could Rejoin Rotation

Texas Rangers pitcher Martin Perez could rejoin the starting rotation for the final stretch of the regular season. Rangers' manager Bruce Bochy confirmed on Wednesday that Perez has a chance at returning to the rotation. The left-hander was shifted to the bullpen in early August. The 32-year-old was struggling in the rotation, so they decided […]

Luis Urias Removed From Wednesday's Game

Boston Red Sox infielder Luis Urias (calf) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Urias was lifted from the contest for a pinch-runner in the seventh inning of Wednesday's contest. The team is calling the injury left calf tightness, so for now fantasy managers should consider Urias as day-to-day. The […]

Nolan Arenado Getting A Breather Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is taking the day off on Wednesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. With Arenado getting a breather, Juniel Querecuto will get the start at third base for the Cards and bat in the eight-hole against Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser. St. Louis is giving the 32-year-old All-Star some rest […]

Randal Grichuk Absent From Angels Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Randal Grichuk (head) is not in the lineup for the Halos on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays on the road. It shouldn't come as a surprise after Grichuk had to leave Tuesday's contest after being hit in the head by a pitch. The good news is that it was only […]

Christian Yelich On The Bench Again

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Wednesday with the club facing the Cardinals in St. Louis. Tyrone Taylor is in left field and hitting sixth, Blake Perkins is in center and batting ninth, and Sal Frelick is in right field and in the seven-hole against Cardinals left-hander […]

Brett Baty Returns On Wednesday

New York Mets rookie third baseman Brett Baty (groin) is back at third base and is hitting seventh on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Eury Perez. Baty's return moves infield prospect Ronny Mauricio over to second base and the six-hole. Jeff McNeil is starting in left field and batting fifth. Baty returns to […]

Luis Arraez Out Again For Marlins

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the visiting New York Mets. Jon Berti will take over at the keystone and will bat eighth in the order against Mets right-hander Kodai Senga. Arraez suffered a sprained left ankle during pre-game workouts on Tuesday and will […]

Mets To Keep Negotiations With Pete Alonso Private

The New York Mets are going to keep contract negotiations with All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso private. "While we understand the media and public interest in player contract situations, we strongly believe in keeping those conversations private. Any circulating reports do not accurately reflect our conversations with Pete," general manager Billy Eppler said in a […]

Giants Put Alex Cobb On 15-Day Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed right-hander Alex Cobb (hip) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday and recalled left-hander Kyle Harrison and right-hander Sean Hjelle from Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. The team also placed right-hander Keaton Winn (illness) on the COVID injured list (retroactive to Sept. 19). Cobb has been dealing with a nagging […]

Ryan Mountcastle Goes On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left-shoulder soreness and recalled outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Mountcastle had missed the last seven games, so the injured-list move was backdated to Sunday, meaning he is eligible to return a week from […]

Kevin Gausman Looking To Keep The Blue Jays Rolling Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman will look to keep his club hot when he takes on the New York Yankees in a road start Wednesday evening. Winners of four straight, the Blue Jays currently occupy the second Wild Card spot in the American League but sit just a single game ahead of both the […]

Justin Steele Aiming To Improve Cy Young Chances Wednesday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Steele will look to improve his chances of taking down the NL Cy Young Award Wednesday when he takes on the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field in Chicago. One of the 2023 season's top breakout players, Steele has pitched to a 2.73 ERA and a healthy 19.1% K-BB% on the season […]

Manny Machado Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is back in the club's starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Chase Anderson.
