New York Mets rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez is taking the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Chicago Cubs.

Salvador Perez Back Behind The Plate Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) is doing the catching and is batting cleanup for the Royals on Tuesday against right-hander Kutter Crawford and the Boston Red Sox.

Sean Murphy Resting Up

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy won't start the game for the Braves on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Tyler Stephenson Getting A Breather Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson is taking the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Miami Marlins. In his absence, Luke Maile is doing the catching and is hitting ninth against Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett.

Javier Baez Back In Action Against Twins

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (personal) is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray.

Max Kepler Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (foot) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Kepler was hit by a pitch on his right foot late in Monday's game and had to leave the contest, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that he's out on Tuesday, especially with the Twins […]

Kevin Kiermaier Put On 10-Day Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 7) with a right-elbow laceration on Tuesday and recalled outfielder Nathan Lukes from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Deneric Prince Operating As Lead RB On Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Deneric Prince is operating as the team's starting running back on Tuesday, as Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) is not yet cleared for contact and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is out sick. Prince continues to get first-team reps, so his fantasy football intrigue is rising by the week. While Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon […]

Miguel Cabrera Moved Up To Cleanup Spot Tuesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is being moved up to the cleanup spot for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray. It's the future Hall of Famer's first assignment in the cleanup spot in the 2023 season as he has largely hit seventh for A.J. Hinch this season. Cabrera's final tour […]

Willson Contreras Re-Enters Starting Lineup Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zach Eflin. The veteran backstop didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Rockies but did log a pinch-hit single in place of Andrew Knizer later on in the contest. From an overall standpoint, Contreras […]

Quez Watkins Holding Onto No. 3 WR Role

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins has been a solid contributor to the team's passing offense over the last two seasons, racking up a combined 76 receptions for 1,001 yards and four touchdowns. During this year's training camp, he has reportedly been impressive and is holding off former Atlanta Falcons wideout Olamide Zaccheaus for the […]

Mazi Smith Not Practicing On Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Mazi Smith (knee) is not practicing on Tuesday. The 2023 first-round pick is dealing with tendinitis and is getting a precautionary MRI on his knee.

Joey Votto Sitting Tuesday Versus Lefty

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is on the bench to start Tuesday's contest against Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett. The veteran slugger hasn't hit for much average against both lefties and righties this season but has brought a wealth of power to the table after beginning the season on the injured list. Votto slugged […]

Ronald Jones Likely To Miss Preseason Opener

Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones (groin) is not practicing on Tuesday and is likely to miss the team's preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. It's a tough development for Jones after he was handed a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's PED policy. The Cowboys listed the two-time Super Bowl Champion behind […]

Matt Wallner Returning To Lineup Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. The lefty-swinging outfielder didn't start Tuesday's contest against a left-handed Joey Wentz but will return on Tuesday despite another lefty on the mound for the Tigers. Waller has made just 13 trips to the […]

Damiere Byrd Will Miss "At Least A Month"

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Damiere Byrd (hamstring) suffered a severe hamstring injury last weekend and is expected to miss at least a month of action. The 30-year-old wide receiver caught just 13 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games with the Falcons last year, but his punt-returning ability could mean he'll make […]

Zack Wheeler Starting Game 1 Of Doubleheader Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler is getting the start for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. Left-hander Ranger Suarez was originally scheduled to start Monday night's contest before it was postponed, but the Phillies will pivot to Wheeler for Game 1, while Suarez will take the ball for the second half of […]

Saquon Barkley's Reps Being Managed In Joint Practices

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley did not participate in 11-on-11 work in joint practices with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, but Connor Hughes of SNY reports he is not injured. The Giants are simply limiting his repetitions as a precaution as the offseason progresses. Ultimately, this is good news for fantasy managers, as […]

Raheem Mostert Looks Fresh At Dolphins Camp

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert looks a lot healthier during training camp than he did last season when he first joined the team, according to Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com. Mostert suffered a torn ACL early in the 2021 season, so he was still coming off of the injury in 2022. Now, he looks fresh […]

Ethan Salas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Ethan Salas, C, San Diego Padres ANALYSIS: The top international signee this January, Ethan Salas received a $5.6 million bonus, an enormous amount in the modern international signing era. For reference, the Padres had just $5,285,500 in bonus pool money in the 2023 period, so the Padres invested a lot of money in Salas. […]
