No Plans To Remove Edwin Diaz From Closer Role

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas confirmed on Tuesday that there are no plans to remove relief pitcher Edwin Diaz from the closer role. Rojas stated that if the Mets run into a save situation and he is available, Diaz will get the call to close out the game. Diaz has blown three straight save […]

John Nogowski Extends On-Base Streak Monday Night

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman John Nogowski went 0-for-3 on Monday night, but extended his on-base streak to five games with a two-out walk in the seventh inning of a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. Nogowski has been red-hot at the plate since joining Pittsburgh, slashing .422/.469/.511 with eight RBI and seven runs scored over 11 […]

Asher Wojciechowski Slated To Start Wednesday

New York Yankees pitcher Asher Wojciechowski is expected to be called up Wednesday to make a spot start against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wojciechowski excelled in his most recent outing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, pitching four innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts and no walks. The 32-year-old has largely been ineffective for the RailRiders this season […]

Bryan Reynolds Stays Hot With Two Hits In Loss

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds finished 2-for-5 with one RBI in a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. Reynolds has been one of the hottest hitters in the game recently, as he's slashing .321/.406/.536 with two homers, six RBI and six runs scored over his last seven games. That's helped bring his season […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Singles Twice In Loss Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes went 2-for-5 with one RBI in a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. While he's not providing a lot of power right now, he's still getting on base at a good clip as he's slashing .275/.351/.431 over his last 15 games, while recording one home run, four […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Could Return Next Weekend

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga could return to the team next week. Loaisiga tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the COVID injured list but appears close to being back in the New York bullpen. The 26-year-old has been an unsung hero for the Yankees, recording seven wins, 11 holds, and two […]

Kevin Newman Remains Ice-Cold At The Plate

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman went 0-for-5 with a strikeout and a run scored in a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. It seems that Newman left his bat behind in Spring Training this year, as he is slashing .208/.248/.268 over 87 games after hitting over .600 back in March. The frustrating part […]

Bryse Wilson Starting On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryse Wilson will take the mound on Wednesday in the second game of the team's doubleheader against the San Diego Padres. Wilson has pitched to a 5.34 ERA and a 5.75 FIP in six starts spanning 28 2/3 innings this season. He has struck out 19 batters and walked seven during […]

Mike Gesicki Could Have Decreased Role

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put together two straight campaigns with 50-plus receptions. He has pushed himself into the top 10 TE conversation for fantasy leagues. However, the additions of Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller could hinder Gesicki's value. Last season, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not aggressive and often times dumped the ball […]

Darren O'Day To Have Season-Ending Surgery Wednesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Darren O'Day (hamstring) will have season-ending surgery to repair a left hamstring injury. O'Day signed a $2.5 million deal in the offseason with the Yankees but has been limited to just 12 games this season due to a shoulder injury and the hamstring ailment. The 38-year-old reliever is reportedly contemplating […]

Spencer Turnbull To Have Tommy John Surgery

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery and won't pitch again this season. The starter was previously placed on the 10-day injured list on June 5. He was later transferred to the 60-day injured list on July 7. It's unfortunate news for both the Tigers and fantasy managers, as the […]

Zac Lowther On Minor League Injured List

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Zac Lowther (shoulder) is on the injured list at Triple-A Norfolk with a strained left shoulder. Lowther allowed five runs on four hits (two home runs) in just one-third of an inning in his most recent outing for Norfolk, and his shoulder injury likely played a big part in that meltdown. The […]

Myles Gaskin Is A Worthy RB2

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin seemingly came out of nowhere and took the lead-back job last season. In 11 games, Gaskin finished with 584 rushing yards and three touchdowns with 41 receptions, 388 yards and two scores through the air. The dual-threat back appears to be the favorite for the lead-back job heading into […]

Tua Tagovailoa Needs To Step It Up

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not as reliable as the team had hoped during his rookie campaign. He was often times benched for veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick during important situations. Tagovailoa didn't turn the ball over frequently, but he seemed scared or unable to throw the deep ball. A season later, the Dolphins acquired […]

Davis Wendzel Out At Least Two Weeks With Wrist Sprain

Texas Rangers third baseman Davis Wendzel (wrist) will be out at least two weeks with a left wrist sprain. It's the same wrist that he suffered a hamate injury to, but it's not the same injury. The Rangers hope Wendzel can begin baseball activities by the middle of next week. The team's No. 8 prospect, […]

Josh Bell Isn't In Tuesday's Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell isn't in the team's lineup for a Tuesday matchup with the Miami Marlins and left-handed starter Trevor Rogers. Bell is batting .249 with a .310 on-base percentage and 13 home runs in 290 plate appearances this season. It'll be Ryan Zimmerman who gets the start against Rogers on Tuesday. […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Secret Weapon For Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders could be an underrated threat in this offense. Sanders was signed to a one-year deal after John Brown left in free agency. On the depth chart, Sanders is penciled in as the No. 4 option in the offense. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see him surpass Gabriel Davis. The Bills […]

Mike Trout Runs The Bases Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) ran the bases during a pre-game workout on Tuesday. It's a significant step for Trout, who has been out since mid-May after suffering a Grade 2 strain of his right calf. He'll need to run the bases at full intensity before he's ready to return, but it's surely […]

Joey Wendle Not Starting On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle isn't in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday. Wendle is hitting .277 with a .337 on-base percentage, seven home runs and six stolen bases so far this season. However, he won't start against Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means. Instead, Wander Franco will get the start at third base in […]

Yandy Diaz Back In The Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays corner infielder Yandy Diaz (neck) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after leaving Monday's game early due to neck spasms. Diaz is hitting leadoff and playing first base against Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means. While Means has been one of the better left-handed pitchers in baseball this year, he's also […]

Stefon Diggs Remains Elite WR1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was reportedly playing through a torn oblique during the entire postseason. Despite that, it sounds like Diggs will be 100 percent healthy for training camp. He is coming off a season where he produced 127 receptions, 1,535 yards, and eight touchdowns in Buffalo. The Bills receivers haven't changed too […]

Craig Stammen Lands On Paternity List

The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Craig Stammen on the paternity leave list on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Miguel Diaz from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Stammen will only be away from the team for a few days. The 37-year-old reliever doesn't have much fantasy appeal in a middle-relief role, but he's been […]

Jacob Hollister Could Win Starting Tight End Job

Buffalo Bills tight end Jacob Hollister could have a legitimate shot at being the team's starter, according to Joe Buscaglia. He signed a one-year deal with the Bills after spending each of the last two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Hollister was productive in 2019, finishing with 41 receptions, 349 yards, and three touchdowns in […]

Travis Shaw Hits On The Field

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw (shoulder) hit on the field for the first time on Tuesday and is hoping to begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. Shaw suffered a separated left shoulder last month, but it's looking like he might be able to return to the Brew Crew next month. Aside from a […]

Dawson Knox Falling On Draft Boards

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could quickly fall out of the No. 1 spot on the Bills roster. Joe Buscaglia believes Jacob Hollister will become the team's starter, assuming Knox continues to struggle. Last season, Knox caught 24 of his 47 targets for 288 yards and three touchdowns. It's worth noting Knox has been […]

Trevor Larnach Not Starting On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach isn't in the team's starting lineup Tuesday as they take on the Chicago White Sox. Larnach is hitting .236 with a .329 on-base percentage, seven home runs and a stolen base in 228 plate appearances this season. He'll be replaced in left field by Luis Arraez, who is batting leadoff […]

J.T. Ginn Promoted To High-A Brooklyn

New York Mets right-hander J.T. Ginn has been promoted from Single-A St. Lucie to High-A Brooklyn and will make his debut with Brooklyn on Saturday. The team's No. 2 pitching prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, went 2-1 with a 2.56 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, 35 strikeouts and 10 walks in 38 2/3 innings spanning eight starts […]
