Osvaldo Bido to Start on Tuesday

Athletics pitcher Osvaldo Bido is expected to start Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. It seemed like an odd statement, but A's manager Mark Kotsay said Bido will be the pitcher out there in the first inning. The fact he said that means this could be an opener situation or possibly Bido only throws a […]

Richard Fitts Exits with Biceps Injury

Boston Red Sox pitcher Richard Fitts (biceps) was forced to make an early exit from Monday's start against the Baltimore Orioles. Fitts came out to pitch in the sixth inning, but exited after only one pitch. According to Tim Healey, Fitts is dealing with biceps tightness. That being said, fantasy managers should consider Fitts as […]

Colt Keith Returns as DH on Monday

Detroit Tigers infielder Colt Keith (illness) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff for the team's Monday series opener in Sacramento against the Athletics and right-hander J.T. Ginn. Keith will return to the starting nine to begin the week after he was scratched from Sunday's lineup with an illness. He will not […]

Jackson Chourio Not Ready Yet

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (hamstring) will require a few more games at Triple-A Nashville this week. The Brewers want to make sure Chourio is 100 percent healthy before activating him off the injured list. Chourio reportedly looked tentative while running the bases over the weekend. The Brewers don't have much of an incentive to […]

Tyler Anderson Placed on Paternity List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson was placed on the paternity leave list on Monday. Anderson is currently scheduled to start on Wednesday, but that seems unlikely to happen. He should return later in the week, so possibly Anderson gets the ball this weekend. He hasn't been much of a fantasy option anyway with […]

Zack Gelof Recalled on Monday, Luis Urias DFA'd

Athletics infielder Zack Gelof was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. Gelof has spent most of the season injured, but appears to be finally healthy. He has been hitting well in the minors and is deserving of another shot at the big league level. Gelof struggled with a .211/.270./362 slash line with 188 strikeouts […]

Daylen Lile Absent from Monday's Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile (illness) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the New York Yankees.

Anthony Volpe to Play Regularly After Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was given two games off as part of a reset, according to manager Aaron Boone. He continued by saying that Volpe will play regularly following Monday's contest. The Yankees still believe in Volpe as their long-term solution at shortstop. The 24-year-old has been inconsistent with the bat and struggled […]

Mets Place Reed Garrett on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation

The New York Mets announced on Monday that they placed right-handed reliever Reed Garrett (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 23) with right-ebow inflammation and selected left-hander Jose Castillo's contract from the minors in a corresponding move.

Masyn Winn Back in Action on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (knee) is starting at shortstop and will hit second for Monday's series opener at Busch Stadium against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Johan Oviedo.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Back in Toronto's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Joe Ryan at the Rogers Centre.

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-4 on Sunday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, including a solo home run and two runs scored.

Jordan Lawlar Collects Three Hits, Drives in Two on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar went 3-for-5 with two RBI on Sunday at Triple-A Reno.

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith was tagged for four earned runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three in 3 2/3 innings of work for Double-A Birmingham on Sunday.

Brandon Nimmo Back for Series Opener Against Phillies

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is starting in left field and will bat sixth for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez at Citi Field. It will be the first time that Nimmo has started for the Mets since he exited last Wednesday's loss to the Washington Nationals […]

John Bay Promoted to High-A Brooklyn

New York Mets outfield prospect John Bay has been promoted to High-A Brooklyn after a short but productive stint at Single-A this year. The 24-year-old joined St. Lucie in late July and hit .333 (18-for-54) with three home runs and four stolen bases in 17 games. His 10 hits over the last week earned him […]

Osvaldo Bido Expected to Join A's Rotation

With Athletics rookie left-hander Jacob Lopez (forearm) suffering from left-forearm tightness in his last start and fellow rookie Jack Perkins (shoulder) going on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder strain, right-hander Osvaldo Bido is expected to join the team's starting rotation. If Lopez requires a stint on the IL as well, lefty Joey Estes […]

Yassel Soler Placed on Injured List at Single-A

Arizona Diamondbacks third base prospect Yassel Soler (undisclosed) was placed on Single-A Visalia's 7-day injured list on Sunday. It's unclear what the injury was, but it appears to have happened during his at-bat in the third inning of Saturday's game, and depending on the severity, it could end his season with the injury happening so late in […]

Kyle Bradish to Make Season Debut on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish (elbow) will come off the 60-day injured list to make his season debut on Tuesday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com.

Michael Massey Reintated From Injured List

The Kansas City Royals announced on Monday that they reinstated second baseman/outfielder Michael Massey (ankle, back, wrist) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder John Rave to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Alec Marsh hasn't Resumed Throwing

Kansas City Royals right-hander Alec Marsh (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing since he received an injection in his sore right shoulder in late July.

Cole Ragans Throws Bullpen Session on Sunday

Kansas City Royals starter Cole Ragans (shoulder) threw an "up-down" bullpen session on Sunday, and manager Matt Quatraro said afterward that the left-hander "feels good."

Jesse Winker Questionable to Return This Season

New York Mets designated hitter Jesse Winker (back) has not resumed baseball activities since he went on the 10-day injured list on July 11 with inflammation in his lower back.

Jonah Tong, Tylor Megill Candidates to Start on Friday

New York Mets right-handers Jonah Tong and Tylor Megill (elbow) are candidates to start Friday against the Miami Marlins, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Although southpaw David Peterson is penciled in for that game, the Mets could go with Tong or Megill as a way to give Peterson and righty Kodai Senga (Saturday's […]

Chris Sale Penciled in to Start on Saturday

Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale (ribs) is in line to come off the 60-day injured list on Saturday to start against the Philadelphia Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Sale hasn't pitched since he suffered a fractured left rib cage on June 18, interrupting another brilliant season for the 36-year-old southpaw. Before going on […]
