Red Sox Activate Kevin Plawecki

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 30-year-old has been out because of a left hamstring strain. However, it's unlikely many fantasy managers were eagerly awaiting his return. Plawecki is batting .254 this season but has split time with Christian Vazquez, resulting in decreased production […]

Vidal Brujan Recalled From Durham

Tampa Bays Rays second baseman Vidal Brujan was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday. With Mike Brosseau (oblique) landing on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 8, Brujan will get another shot in the big club.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer drove in the only run for his club on Friday as his team fell 7-1 at the hands of the Rays. Springer's single to center in the third cashed in Bo Bichette for the first run of the ball game as he finished the game going 1-for-3 with a […]

Alek Manoah Unable To Make It Through Four Versus Rays

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah struck out nine Rays in Friday's 7-1 loss, but he was unable to make it through four innings in the 88-pitch effort. The 23-year-old rookie was a bit in wild in this one, throwing just 48 pitches for strikes while walking three and beaning a pair of batters […]

Gavin Sheets Hits Third Home Run

Chicago White Sox infielder Gavin Sheets continues to impress in his rookie season. Sheets was promoted and made his big league debut on June 29. Sheets went 1-for-3 with two runs, two walks and a solo home run. Sheets has been getting plenty of playing time since his promotion and is now hitting .273 with […]

Dallas Keuchel Picks Up Seventh Win

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel ended his first half on a high note with a victory versus the Baltimore Orioles. The lefty hurler went seven frames and allowed seven hits, one run, one walk and struck out three on the evening. Keuchel bounced back after giving up seven runs in his previous start […]

Danny Santana Lands On Injured List

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Danny Santana (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday night. The 30-year-old switch-hitter was injured during Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, suffering a strained left quad in the seventh inning before getting the plug pulled. Santana hasn't done much for fantasy managers this season, currently batting […]

James Karinchak Earns Win Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak threw a scoreless ninth inning while allowing one hit and striking out two in Friday night's 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. One night after blowing the save and earning the win, Karinchak earned the win the right way in this one as Bobby Bradley walked off the […]

Bobby Bradley Hits Walk-Off Home Run Friday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Bobby Bradley went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off solo home run in Friday night's 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. Bradley lead off the bottom of the ninth with a solo blast off of Royals' reliever Jake Brentz to give the Tribe a 2-1 win. Bradley now has […]

DL Hall To Begin Throwing Soon

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher DL Hall (elbow) will begin a throwing program in two weeks. The 22-year-old southpaw has been out for a few weeks now because of elbow soreness. Fortunately, an MRI showed no structural damage, which is positive news for the dynasty managers expecting big things from him moving ahead. Hall is one […]

Emmanuel Clase Blows Save Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out one in the top of the eighth inning of Friday night's 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. Last night fellow reliever, James Karinchak blew the save, and tonight it was Clase's turn. Clase has allowed three earned runs […]

Triston McKenzie Strikes Out Nine Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie gave up one hit and one walk while striking out nine in seven scoreless innings of work in a 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals Friday night. You read that correctly; McKenzie had just one walk on the night and put up his best performance of the season […]

Richie Martin Began Hitting On Friday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Richie Martin (wrist) began his hitting progression on Friday. The 26-year-old is on track toward a return after being out for nearly two months because of a broken left wrist. Although Martin doesn't have much fantasy value in anything outside of dynasty formats, at least at the moment, he is a viable […]

Andrew Stevenson Activated From Injured List

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Rochester. Stevenson has been on the shelf because of a strained oblique, and he is expected to return to the big club sometime after the All-Star break. The 27-year-old was batting .227, with 14 runs, 10 RBI, and […]

Aaron Sanchez To Pitch For Low-A On Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (finger) will participate in a rehab outing on Saturday. The 29-year-old recently threw a live batting practice session on Tuesday, so his progression to Low-A San Jose is undoubtedly pleasant news. Sanchez was sporting an acceptable 3.18 ERA before going down with biceps tendinitis on May 5, and […]

Eric Bledsoe Could Be On The Move

New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe may be on the move. With the team owning the No. 10 overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft, the pick could be paired with Bledsoe to create cap space. The veteran averaged 12.2 points and 3.8 assists throughout 71 games last season and has a few years remaining […]

Tommy La Stella Restarting His Rehab Assignment

San Francisco Giants infielder Tommy La Stella (thumb) is restarting his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday night.

David Price Now Part Of Dodgers Starting Rotation

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander David Price is basically now a part of the team's starting rotation, manager Dave Roberts said on Friday. Los Angeles is without starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw (forearm) and Trevor Bauer, who is on indefinite administrative leave due to sexual-assault allegations. Giving Price the bump into the starting rotation may not sound like […]

Steven Adams Potentially On The Trade Block

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams could be on the trade block ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. The veteran, who has a few years remaining on his current deal, may be packaged along with a draft pick to open up cap space on the Pels' roster. Adams had a considerable drop in production last season […]

Victor Robles Gets A Breather Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Robles has been cold for most of the year so far, and he's been especially cold in the last 14 days -- .114 average, one home run and 12 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances -- so hopefully […]

Phoenix Suns guard Torrey Craig (knee) is considered day-to-day and could still suit up for Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Milwaukee. The 30-year-old suffered a right knee contusion in Game 2 of the series, and he was relegated to just eight minutes in that one as a result. Fortunately, an MRI revealed no […]
