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. Haniger has not played since June 6 after suffering through a ruptured testicle. It has been a wholly unfortunate season for the former All-Star. At this point, it seems likely that Haniger will […]

Mitch Keller Leaves Tuesday's Start With Wrist Injury

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller left Tuesday's start against the Miami Marlins after taking a line drive off of his wrist. He looked to be in considerable pain, which suggests X-rays are imminent. It is an unfortunate ailment, as Keller retired the first five batters he faced and tallied three strikeouts. Look for more information […]

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May (neck) is scheduled to face live hitters on Wednesday.

Joc Pederson Available From The Bench On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (abdomen) is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies, but he is available to pinch hit. The 27-year-old is sore after crashing into the outfield wall during Monday's game. Kike Hernandez will start in his absence. While the Rockies' Chi Chi Gonzalez is a volatile pitcher, Hernandez […]

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. If Muncy completes the fielding drills without any complications, hitting would be the next step. It seems that the 29-year-old has managed to avoid serious injury. He is slashing .253/.375/.525 […]

Ramon Laureano Feels Ready To Return

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (shin) has been progressing well throughout his latest workouts. He has been running at full speed and took live batting practice with the team on Tuesday. The 25-year-old claimed that he is now ready to return to the starting lineup, and fantasy managers can expect him back by the weekend. […]

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. The star prospect was 2-for-5 with three runs scored in his first MLB game on Monday night. He is a worthy starter in DFS formats for Tuesday's slate against the Rockies' right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez. […]

Carlos Correa Swings Off Tee On Tuesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) took practice swings off of a tee on Tuesday afternoon. It marks the first time he has truly undergone a swinging drill since landing on the injured list on August 20. Fantasy owners can expect Correa back within two weeks at the latest.

Yu Darvish Plays Catch on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (forearm) played catch on Tuesday and is expected to make his next start. Darvish was scratched from his last start due to right forearm tightness. It appears to be a minor issue and is scheduled to make his next start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Darvish has been […]

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. This will be a routine day off for the veteran catcher, so no injury or anything to worry about. Stephen Vogt will draw the start behind the plate and bat cleanup versus righty Jack […]

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. Cain will miss his fourth straight game here due to a lingering knee issue. He was able to come off the bench and bat on Monday, so hopefully he's getting closer to a return. Trent Grisham […]

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. Wade doesn't have much upside […]

Nomar Mazara Gets Rest Day Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Mazara recently returned from the injured list, but is getting the night off here against the left-handed starter. Shin-Soo Choo will bat leadoff and play right field versus lefty James Paxton. Choo has been average […]

Rougned Odor Sits Out on Tuesday

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees.

Logan Forsythe will cover second base and […]

Kris Bryant Scratched With Knee Soreness

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (knee) has been scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with right knee soreness. Bryant has been dealing with knee soreness for a few months and is considered day-to-day for now. Ian Happ will replace Bryant at third base and bat sixth. Happ has cooled off and can be avoided on Tuesday […]

Adam Eaton Diagnosed With Bone Bruise

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise after undergoing an MRI exam on Tuesday. Eaton is considered day-to-day for now, but his injury may not be too severe as he will be available to pinch hit off the bench. Gerardo Parra will take his spot in right and bat seventh […]

Amed Rosario Sitting Tuesday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Rosario will get a breather after going 1-for-9 in the last two games. Luis Guillorme will take his spot at short and bat eighth in a very unfavorable matchup with ace Max Scherzer on the mound for the […]

Mike Moustakas Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Houston Astros. Moustakas returned to action Monday after sitting for a few games with a wrist injury and played the entire game without suffering any setbacks, so this is likely just an extra day off for the 31-year-old. Travis Shaw […]

Willson Contreras Activated Off Injured List

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hamstring) has been activated off the injured list after missing almost a month with a hamstring injury. This is obviously great news for fantasy owners, as the fantasy playoffs have either started or are just a few days away. Contreras will be behind the plate and bat sixth against Seattle right-hander […]

Eddie Rosario Not In Lineup Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. This looks like a routine day of rest for Rosario, who is currently in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak. For the year, Rosario is batting a solid .281 with 27 home runs and 92 RBI through […]

Edwin Encarnacion Back From Injury

New York Yankees first baseman Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) has been activated off the injured list after missing one month with a wrist injury. Encarnacion will be inserted right back into the heart of the Yankees lineup, batting fifth out of the designated hitter spot against struggling right-hander Ariel Jurado. Fantasy owners can feel free to insert […]

Jean Segura Remains Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (personal) is still away from the team and will not be in the lineup Tuesday. Segura traveled back to the Dominican Republic on Sunday to be with his family due to the passing of his grandmother and will likely be there for a few days. Scott Kingery draws another start […]

Josh Rojas Finishes Triple Short of Cycle on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie Josh Rojas led the team at the plate on Monday night as he went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored against the Padres. Rojas has homered twice now over his last five games and has five RBI, but Monday's performance was his first multi-hit game […]

Nick Pivetta Recalled

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Nick Pivetta has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. A popular late-round pick in fantasy drafts this season, Pivetta was never able to get things going, posting an awful 5.38 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 88 2/3 innings. There is still a chance he can become a quality starter for the Phillies […]
