Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Russell Martin was 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk during Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base against the Reds Tuesday night. Realmuto had been hitless in his previous 14 plate appearances so it was nice to see the catcher do a bit of everything that makes him good for fantasy. He isn't having the […]

Scott Kingery Homers For Second Straight Game
Philadelphia Phillies utilityman Scott Kingery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Cincinnati Tuesday night. It was the second game in a row with a homer for the sophomore and gives him six RBI in his last three games. Kingery has had his ups and downs this season but it's added up to a […]

Mitch Haniger Getting Second Opinion On Injury
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger is reportedly getting a second opinion on the lower back discomfort he experienced during recent rehab games.

Max Muncy Set To Field Grounders On Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (wrist) is scheduled to field grounders on Wednesday. The slugger went on the injured list on August 30.

Gavin Lux Batting Leadoff On Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux will be in the leadoff spot for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Javier Baez Absent Against Mariners
Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The Cubs have an off day on Wednesday, so this could just be extra rest for Baez. Addison Russell will cover shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Felix Hernandez. Russell isn't in a favorable spot in […]

Ben Zobrist is Back on Tuesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Ben Zobrist (personal) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Zobrist missed nearly four months due to personal reasons, but is back with the club now. The Cubs have a logjam of infielders, so it's unclear how often Zobrist is going to play. Zobrist will bat […]

Matt Carpenter Sits Out Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Carpenter has been disappointing with the bat this season, so it's not a surprise to see the Cards trying other options at third base. Tommy Edman will bat seventh and play third base […]

Buster Posey Sits Out on Tuesday
San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Lorenzo Cain Remains Out Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Jose Altuve Gets Night Off
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine day off for Altuve, so he should be back in the lineup next game. Aledmys Diaz will cover second base and bat fifth versus righty Jordan Lyles. Diaz has […]

Randy Dobnak Makes First Start on Tuesday
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak will draw his first career start against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Dobnak has been impressive in the minors, so he's earned the right to pitch at this level. He has three appearances in the majors and has yet to allow an earned run. He's not a recommended […]

Eugenio Suarez Sits on Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Suarez was pulled from Sunday's game after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative and Suarez is considered day-to-day. Kyle Farmer will cover third base and bat eighth […]

Gleyber Torres is Out of the Lineup Tuesday
New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Torres has been outstanding for the Yankees this season, but will get a routine rest day here. Tyler Wade will cover second base and bat eighth versus righty Ariel Jurado.
