Jose Altuve Posting .728 OPS In Road Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will try and become more of a consistent contributor on the road when the team takes on the Mariners on Tuesday. Altuve has always enjoyed hitting at Minute Maid Park and is slashing .292/.373/.584 with nine doubles and 15 home runs through 48 home games. But his performance on […]

Devin Williams Back From The Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers activated relief pitcher Devin Williams (elbow) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned left-hander Angel Perdomo to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Williams missed exactly 10 days on the injured list with minor right elbow discomfort, and he will return to being a key cog as a setup man […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Takes The Mound Tuesday

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. will take the mound Tuesday against the Mariners. McCullers (7-2) is having an excellent season, posting his highest K/9 rate (10.51) since 2017 while posting an impressive 3.04 ERA. The right-handed starter is an even better choice pitching on the road this season, something he will be tasked with […]

Dede Westbrook Signs With Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have signed free-agent wide receiver Dede Westbrook to a contract for this season. Westbrook has played his entire career for the Jaguars and is coming off a season where he played in only two games after tearing his ACL.

Adalberto Mondesi Doing Baseball Activities

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) has been on the field going through drills every day, including taking batting practice. It's been a disappointing season for the talented infielder in 2021, as he's played in just 10 total games due to multiple oblique injuries. However, he's improving and could start a minor league rehab […]

Rio Ruiz Recalled From Triple-A

Colorado Rockies infielder Rio Ruiz has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. First baseman Matt Adams was released in a corresponding move.

Brenden Dillon Traded To Winnipeg For Two Future Draft Picks

The Winnipeg Jets acquired veteran defenseman Brenden Dillon from the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Washington receives second-round picks in 2022 and 2023.

Pirates Recall Rodolfo Castro

The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled infielder Rodolfo Castro from Double-A Altoona on Tuesday, and he is starting at second base and hitting eighth against Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Brett Anderson.

Jerad Eickhoff Starting Against Braves Tuesday

New York Mets right-hander Jerad Eickhoff will get the starting nod on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. The Mets didn't have many choices given their banged-up rotation and the fact they just played a doubleheader on Monday, so Eickhoff will get another start. We would recommend looking elsewhere for a deep sleeper in DFS, as […]

Curtis Samuel Placed On PUP List

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) opens training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. After sitting out of minicamp practices in June, Samuel's groin injury was described as a "tweak," so it is not considered to be serious. After being medically cleared, Samuel is eligible to come off the PUP list […]

Xander Bogaerts Getting Another Day Off

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that shortstop Xander Bogaerts will receive "just one more day" off on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Cora said Bogaerts' wrist is a factor, but it's nothing serious. Fantasy managers should expect to have Bogaerts back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. The 28-year-old has struggled since […]

Trevor Bauer Remains On Administrative Leave

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer has had his administrative leave extended until August 6, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.

While this remains under investigation and there's […]

Tigers Activate Michael Fulmer From Injured List

The Detroit Tigers activated right-hander Michael Fulmer (spine) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and designated left-hander Ian Krol for assignment in a corresponding move.

Nationals Won't Trade Max Scherzer To The Mets

A source close to the Washington Nationals situation with starting pitcher Max Scherzer said there is "no chance" that they would trade the veteran right-hander to the division-rival New York Mets, no matter the offer. Scherzer has a no-trade clause, so he must be willing to waive it to join a team of his liking, […]

Royals Unlikely To Trade Away Key Players

The Kansas City Royals are unlikely to trade away any of their key players prior to Friday's trade deadline, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. General Manager Dayton Moore said that the team is building for 2022, and that he does not expect the Royals to trade away any of the key contributors for next […]

Mets Agreement With Kumar Rocker In Jeopardy

The New York Mets agreement with first-round right-hander Kumar Rocker (elbow) is now in limbo after the team showed concerns with Rocker's right elbow during his physical exam, according to multiple industry sources.

Javier Baez Scratched From Monday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (heel) has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Cincinnati Reds with a bruised left heel.

Hoerner has been in a slump lately and […]

Franmil Reyes Returns To Indians Lineup Tuesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Franmil Reyes (back) will return to the lineup Tuesday while playing designated hitter and batting fourth against St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright. Reyes was scratched from Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with back spasms, but apparently, he is now good to go. Fantasy managers should feel free to plug […]

Luke Voit Nearing A Return

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) is "very close" to a return to action, per Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record. Voit suffered a bone bruise in his left knee, but his knee appears to have responded well to both a PRP shot and baseball activities. Manager Aaron Boone said that the slugging […]

Stephen Strasburg To Undergo Thoracic Outlet Surgery

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) will undergo thoracic outlet surgery on Wednesday, according to Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post.

With his rehab moving to Triple-A, […]

Dodgers Receiving Interest In Keibert Ruiz

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been getting plenty of interest in minor league catcher Keibert Ruiz.

The 23-year-old backstop is ranked by MLB Pipeline as Los Angeles' top […]

Taylor Rogers Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left middle finger strain Tuesday. Rogers suffered the injury during an appearance in Monday's game, throwing a wild pitch and immediately exiting the game. It's unfortunate timing for the All-Star southpaw, who was expected to be an attractive target […]

Mariners A Potential Suitor For Trea Turner

The Seattle Mariners are one potential suitor for Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner at the trade deadline. Seattle has high-end prospects to interest the Nationals and are looking at infielders controllable beyond the 2021 season. The M's have been comfortable with current shortstop J.P. Crawford, and Turner can move around the diamond. Turner is one […]

Cubs Option Keegan Thompson

The Chicago Cubs have optioned relief pitcher Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa. Thompson has been a pleasant surprise for the Cubs in his rookie year out of the bullpen, but it looks like the Cubs are looking to get him stretched out. The most likely starter to be dealt by the Cubs is Zach Davies […]

Three Teams Discussing Joey Gallo

The Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and San Diego Padres have had trade talks with the Texas Rangers regarding outfielder Joey Gallo, according to sources. Gallo's 24 home runs this year are more than all of New York's left-handed hitters combined (22). The Padres might be more of a long shot to land Gallo […]
