Luis Castillo Strikes Out Nine In Fourth Win

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jake Woodford was decent in Saturday's start against the Cincinnati Reds. He tossed five innings, allowing three runs on seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts. Woodford needed 88 pitches (57 strikes) to get through the five innings. He's been an acceptable starter since joining the rotation, and that's […]

Drew Smyly To Be Evaluated On Sunday
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly (knee) will be evaluated in Philadelphia on Sunday. The veteran exited after only four innings during Saturday's matchup against the Phillies because of left knee pain. Although the team hasn't ruled him out for his next start, at least not yet, fantasy managers will undoubtedly be anxiously awaiting an […]

Ryan Weathers Returns On Saturday

Making his first appearance since landing on the 10-day injured list with right ankle inflammation, the 21-year-old pitched four scoreless innings, allowing two hits while striking out four.

Jordy Mercer Injured Again
Washington Nationals shortstop Jordy Mercer (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old veteran is currently dealing with a left leg strain, and it's even more unfortunate considering he was just activated from the IL over a week ago after spending time on the shelf with a right quad strain. Although Mercer has […]

R.J. Alaniz Placed On Injured List
Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher R.J. Alaniz (calf) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The righty left Friday's matchup against St. Louis because of a left calf strain, which isn't pleasant news, primarily since he just got the big league call nearly a week ago.

Yimi Garcia Earns A Save On Saturday
Miami Marlins closer Yimi Garcia picked up his 15th save of the season in Saturday's win over the San Diego Padres.

Sean Poppen Promoted From Durham
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Sean Poppen was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. The 27-year-old righty was acquired from Pittsburgh back in May for cash and has played relatively well during his limited time in Durham. However, he doesn't have much fantasy value, so managers can surely keep him off the roster unless he finds […]

Anthony Miller Traded To Texans
The Houston Texans have traded for Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller, with the Texans betting on Miller to win their No. 3 receiver job heading into the 2021 season. Houston has Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb already, but there have been big questions about the other receiver slot, with rookie Nico Collins and veterans […]

Braxton Garrett Has The Best Start Of His Career
Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Braxton Garrett had the best start of his career in Saturday's win over the San Diego Padres.

Mark Payton Traded To New York
The Mets acquired outfielder Mark Payton from the Reds on Saturday. The 29-year-old was dealt for cash and will head to Syracuse for a stint in Triple-A. He hasn't done much during his limited appearances in Cincinnati this season, batting .182 while racking up four hits in 22 at-bats. Payton may find time in the […]

Drew Smyly Exits Against Phillies
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly (knee) exited Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. The 32-year-old southpaw lasted just four innings before leaving with left knee pain, allowing three hits while striking out three batters. Smyly was replaced by Josh Tomlin, with more on the veteran's status likely to come sometime soon.

He will take the place of Jimmie Sherfy (elbow), who is currently on the 10-day injured list because of elbow inflammation. The 26-year-old has a 3.93 ERA throughout 13 appearances on the big league bump this season. Nonetheless, he doesn't […]

Jimmie Sherfy Lands On Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Jimmie Sherfy (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 29-year-old right-hander is currently dealing with elbow inflammation, unfortunate news considering he was recently claimed off waivers.

Brandon Drury Recalled From Syracuse
New York Mets infielder Brandon Drury was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Drury will provide bench depth, although there is a chance for a more prominent role if injuries pop up somewhere down the line. He struggled initially during his initial run with the big club but began to turn things around in May by […]

Jeff McNeil Not An Injury List Candidate
New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil (leg) was scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday against the Blue Jays. The 29-year-old continues to deal with left leg muscle fatigue, an ailment that has kept him out since exiting Wednesday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. Fortunately, McNeil isn't being considered for a spot on the […]

Brendan Rodgers Out Again On Saturday
Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers isn't starting during Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rodgers didn't play on Friday either, although not much has been revealed as to why.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Spencer Howard will start for the team on Monday against the Washington Nationals.

Aroldis Chapman Notches 18th Save
New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman picked up his 18th save of the season in Saturday's win over the Red Sox. Chapman surrendered a walk and a hit, at one point dealing with runners on second and third, but he struck out a pair to notch the save. The hard-throwing lefty was able to […]

Alek Manoah To Throw Simulated Game
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah (back) will head to Florida to pitch a simulated game on Monday, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. Rather than having Manoah start when he was eligible to come off the IL on Monday, the team is wanting to give him an appearance that they control before […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon recorded his third quality start in the last four outings in Saturday's win over the Red Sox.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (oblique, foot) will have to undergo potentially season-ending surgery after breaking a bone in his foot, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
