San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson was activated from the injured list on Tuesday after missing nearly two weeks with an upper back strain. He was held out of Tuesday's starting lineup with the left-handed Andrew Heaney on the mound for the Los Angeles Angels, but came on as a pinch-hitter and went 0-for-1. For […]

Christian Yelich, Jackie Bradley Jr. Sitting Against Lefty

Milwaukee Brewers outfielders Christian Yelich and Jackie Bradley Jr. and catcher Omar Narvaez are out of the lineup on Wednesday against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Caleb Smith. Jace Peterson is in left field and batting eighth, Tyrone Taylor is in center and hitting third and Manny Pina is behind the dish and batting seventh. Yelich ended […]

Max Homa A Great Leverage Play This Week

Despite possessing an ideal statistical profile for TPC River Highlands, Max Homa seems to be flying under the radar this week. While he does not boast a strong history at this event, Homa is a much better player now than he was in years past. The two-time PGA Tour winner is in the midst of […]

Daniel Vogelbach To Injured List, Keston Hiura Recalled

The Milwaukee Brewers placed first baseman Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring. Infielder Keston Hiura was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Vogelbach was injured on Tuesday night. The 28-year-old was hitting just .216 with seven home runs and 16 RBI in 171 at-bats this year. […]

Ketel Marte, Nick Ahmed Out Of Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) and shortstop Nick Ahmed are not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Marte left the game early on Wednesday night when his hamstring tightened up. Consider him day-to-day for now. Pavin Smith is in center field and hitting second, Josh Rojas is at shortstop and […]

Keston Hiura Expected To Be Called Up

The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to call up second baseman/first baseman Keston Hiura from Triple-A Nashville, according to a source. Hiura has struggled this year and has bounced back and forth between Milwaukee and the minors, but the Brewers will give him another chance to stick in the big leagues. In two stints with the […]

Phil Mickelson Might Be Running Out Of Gas

From purely a statistical standpoint, Phil Mickelson does set up well for TPC River Highlands. Over his last 36 rounds, the recent PGA Championship winner ranks 15th in this field in proximity from 125-150 yards and 22nd in this field in birdies or better gained. Mickelson is a solid wedge player who can make birdies […]

Pete Alonso To Defend Home Run Derby Crown

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso announced on Wednesday that he will defend his Home Run Derby crown during next month's All-Star festivities. The Polar Bear beat Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the 2019 Home Run Derby. There was no Home Run Derby last year due to COVID-19. Alonso was the second rookie to win […]

Robbie Grossman Out With Illness

Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman (illness) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals with flu-like symptoms. Fantasy managers should consider Grossman day-to-day for now. Detroit's leadoff man is hitting just .232 on the season, but he does have nine home runs, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen […]

Daniel Ponce de Leon Placed On Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Daniel Ponce de Leon (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with right shoulder discomfort. Right-hander Seth Elledge was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Ponce de Leon left his outing against the Detroit Tigers early on Tuesday with the shoulder discomfort. The 29-year-old has been […]

Twins Sign Nick Vincent To Minors Deal

The Minnesota Twins have reached an agreement with relief pitcher Nick Vincent on a minor league deal. The veteran reliever was cut by the Texas Rangers on Tuesday and already has a new home. He posted a 4.11 ERA and 22/7 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings in Triple-A this season. Possibly, Vincent gets a […]

Marcus Stroman Has No Structural Damage

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (hip) has some good news after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday. The test came back and Stroman's left hip area turned up negative for any structural damage. He was removed from his start on Tuesday after experiencing some hip soreness. Currently, Stroman is scheduled to pitch against the […]

Miguel Cabrera Sidelined Versus Cardinals

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (calf) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He exited Tuesday's game due to calf tightness, so his absence on Wednesday isn't shocking. Hopefully, Cabrera will be able to return after a few days of rest and he won't need an injured […]

Eduardo Escobar Remains Out Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Eduardo Escobar (quad) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He has not started a game since going down with a quad strain on Sunday. It sounds like the team is going to give him a few days of rest instead of putting him on the […]

Matt Moore Activated, Nick Maton Optioned

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Matt Moore (back) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. He missed a month of action after going down with back spasms in late May. He has been horrendous during his nine outings with Philly this season. Moore is expected to continue pitching out of the bullpen with […]

Andrew McCutchen Sitting Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. He is slashing .225/.342/.432 with 12 homers and 35 RBI this season. The way McCutchen has been hitting this season, he could certainly use […]

Steven Brault Scheduled To Throw Live This Week

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Steven Brault (lat) is scheduled to throw live batting practice later this week. It'll be his first simulated workout since suffering a lat strain in spring training. His return will be a welcome sight for the Pirates. Last season, Brault posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.195 WHIP and an 8.0 K/9 over […]

Brandon Belt Has Bunt RBI Single Tuesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a strikeout in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Angels. Belt has hit mostly for power this season, but delivered a two-out RBI bunt single down the third-base line in the first inning. The veteran has started to bring his batting average […]

Mauricio Dubon Hits Solo Home Run Tuesday

San Francisco Giants second baseman/outfielder Mauricio Dubon had a nice day at the plate in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Angels, going 2-for-4 with a single and a solo home run. Dubon jumped on a second-inning Andrew Heaney fastball and put it over the center-field wall for his fifth HR of the season. The 26-year-old […]

Anthony DeSclafani Dominant Again In Tuesday's Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani looked sharp once again in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Angels. DeSclafani pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts. The 31-year-old has been a huge fantasy asset this season, going 8-2 with a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 23.1% strikeout rate. […]

Andrew Vaughn Sits On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn will rest on Wednesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Yermin Mercedes will rest for the second straight game with the Pale Hose facing the National League Pittsburgh Pirates on the road on Wednesday.

Austin Barnes Hits Third Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit home run in Tuesday's loss versus the San Diego Padres. Barnes trimmed the lead to one run after crushing his home run off of Padres closer Mark Melancon, but it wouldn't be enough for the Dodgers to get the victory. Barnes is now hitting […]

Clayton Kershaw Picks Up Seventh Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw suffered his seventh loss of the season versus the San Diego Padres on Tuesday evening. The veteran lefty picked up a quality start in the loss and allowed four hits, three runs, two walks and struck out seven over six innings. Kershaw has now gone 1-4 in his […]

Gio Urshela Dealing With Sore Leg

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (leg) had to exit Tuesday's game after being hit by a pitch on his shin. Urshela was able to walk to first base but was limping while running and was ultimately pulled from the contest. It sounds like manager Aaron Boone could give Urshela a day off Wednesday, […]
