Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-3 during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, finishing with one hit and one run. The 28-year-old struck out as well, bringing his total to 114 whiffs on the year.

Cole Beasley A Candidate To Be Released?

While it's unlikely, the possibility of the Buffalo Bills releasing veteran wide receiver Cole Beasley this summer shouldn't be entirely ruled out. If Beasley were to be released, he'd save the team $5.341 million against this year's salary cap. His dead-money hits over the next two years would be $2 million and $1.5 million respectively, […]

Taylor Rogers Blows Save Saturday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers blew the save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Rogers was looking to preserve a one-run lead in the eighth inning and quickly got a strikeout but allowed an RBI single- and then another bloop base hit, which won the game for Detroit. The […]

Mario Addison's Roster Spot May Be In Jeopardy

Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Addison's roster spot could be in jeopardy this summer after the team drafted defensive ends Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham in the first two rounds.

Kenta Maeda Whiffs Eight In No-Decision

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda put together another solid effort in Saturday's loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Detroit Tigers utility player Eric Haase (head) exited Saturday's game after being hit in the head by a pitch, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free-Press.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler will be on the hill against Miami on Sunday. Wheeler, a Cy Young candidate, has been reliable this year, currently posting a 6-5 record through 18 starts (119 innings) to go along with a 2.26 ERA and 145 strikeouts. The righty demolished Marlins' hitters back on May 18, finishing […]

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Derek Law (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 30-year-old recently had his contract purchased from Triple-A St. Paul. The designation is retroactive to July 14, so he could be back relatively quickly. However, it's probable many fantasy managers aren't waiting eagerly for his return, primarily after […]

Juan Minaya Has Contract Selected By Twins

The Minnesota Twins selected the contract of Juan Minaya from St. Paul on Saturday night. The transaction adds depth to the bullpen, primarily with the collective absences of Derek Law (shoulder), Danny Coulombe (personal), and Randy Dobnak (finger).

Jake Bauers Won’t Play Against Angels

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Bauers (illness) won't play on Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with an illness, although his exact symptoms have yet to be revealed.

Brandon Crawford Could Be Available Off Bench Saturday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) could be available off the bench on Saturday night against the Cardinals. The 34-year-old exited Friday's matchup after dealing with left hamstring tightness, but the latest revelation is positive news. Although he shouldn't be considered a starting option while he is on the bench, his day-to-day designation is […]

Angel Perdomo Called Up From Nashville

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Angel Perdomo was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. The move comes after Devin Williams (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list because of discomfort, although Perdomo is nowhere near an equal replacement. The southpaw has spent time in the big club already this year, currently sitting on a […]

Craig Kimbrel Records 21st Save

Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel recorded his 21st save of the season on Saturday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Adbert Alzolay Records No-Decision On Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay recorded a no-decision versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday afternoon. Alzolay went five innings and allowed five hits, two runs, two walks and struck out two on the evening.

Willson Contreras Has Big Afternoon

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras had himself a day in Saturday's victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Contreras went 3-for-4 with two runs and a two-run home run. The two-run home run came in the top of the ninth inning with two outs against Joakim Soria and would be the eventual game winning hit for the […]

Devin Williams Lands On Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old righty is dealing with elbow discomfort, a surprise revelation after he reportedly complained about the ailment while throwing on Friday. Williams has played well this season, currently sporting a 6-1 record to go along with 52 strikeouts, […]

Randy Dobnak Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. No surprise here, and the move is a way to open up room on the team's roster. It's unlikely many fantasy managers will be impacted, primarily since he isn't on many rosters anyway because of his struggles this season, […]

Stephen Vogt Active For Saturday's Game

Atlanta Braves newly acquired catcher Stephen Vogt has been activated for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. To make room for Vogt on the roster, the Braves have designated catcher Jonathan Lucroy for assignment.

Jake Fraley Remains Out Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Clayton Kershaw Could Start Playing Catch Next Week

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (forearm) said he could start playing catch next week, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Kershaw has been on the injured list since July 7 and has been taking it slow on his way back. Plus, the Dodgers are in no rush to bring him back and […]

Kody Clemens Increasing His Versatility

Detroit Tigers second baseman Kody Clemens has played first base and right field, in addition to the keystone, in July. The 25-year-old has played second base in 23 games, right field for four games and first base for three games for Double-A Toledo. Clemens is increasing his versatility with a crowded infield picture in Detroit […]

Victor Caratini Isn’t In Saturday’s Lineup

San Diego Padres catcher Victor Caratini isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday for a game against the Washington Nationals and left-handed starter Patrick Corbin.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer (neck) is "doing great" after starting rehab activity early in July, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

He recently played long toss […]
