Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers pitched well on Saturday, picking up a quality start.

Billy Hamilton Placed On The Injured List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. Hamilton left Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers early with "right side soreness." Manager Tony La Russa told reporters that he thought was an oblique strain and he was correct. Oblique issues can take a long […]

Cavan Biggio Begins Rehab Assignment On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio (neck) is beginning his rehab assignment with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Sunday. He's batting second for the Bisons in their game against Syracuse. It's a step in the right direction for Biggio who was previously unable to play due to a sprained cervical spine ligament. He's gotten […]

As always, […]

Jarred Kelenic Getting A Breather On Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic is getting the day off on Sunday against Patrick Sandoval and the Los Angeles Angels. Kelenic is hitless over his last 10 games (0-for-37) so this is a much-needed day of mental rest for the rookie. He's yet to live up to the hype but it's not uncommon for rookies […]

Thairo Estrada Recalled From Triple-A Sacramento

San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada has been recalled from Triple-A Sacramento after third baseman Evan Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder strain. Estrada has been crushing the ball in the minors so far this season, slashing .381/.435/.629 with six home runs, 21 RBI, and four stolen bases. He's […]

Evan Longoria Placed On The 10-Day IL

San Francisco Giants' third baseman Evan Longoria has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain.

Danny Jansen Exits Sunday's Game Early

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen has left Sunday's game against the Houston Astros early. Reese McGuire has replaced him behind the plate to start the fourth inning. It's unclear if Jansen sustained an injury or left the game for another reason. He was 1-for-1 with a double before leaving the contest. The Blue Jays […]

Jacob deGrom To Start At Home Friday Against Padres

The New York Mets expect to push starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi's start back a day so starting pitcher Jacob deGrom can remain on regular rest. As a result, deGrom will likely start Friday against the Padres at home with Lucchesi starting Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly for his Friday start (if this […]

Brandon Nimmo Only Taking Dry Swings At This Point

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger), working his way back from a left index finger contusion, is only taking dry swings with a bat thus far. Nimmo is not yet hitting an actual baseball.

Austin Voth Exits Early After HBP

Washington Nationals right-hander Austin Voth exited Sunday's game early after being hit in the face by Vince Velasquez while attempting to bunt. Voth was taking Stephen Strasburg's spot in the rotation after the latter was placed on the injured list with a neck strain. Velasquez was wild in this outing as he hit Victor Robles […]

J.D. Davis Wearing Splint On Hand

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) will be wearing a splint on his left hand for at least a week resulting in his being, essentially, shut down from swinging a bat. Davis was expected to play in rehab games last week, but his rehab assignment was pushed back indefinitely after he experienced discomfort […]

Brandon Crawford Getting The Day Off

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is getting the day off on Sunday against Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs. It makes sense that Crawford should get the day off following Saturday's scary incident when he crashed into Evan Longoria in the infield while both players were going after an Anthony Rizzo grounder. Longoria took […]

A.J. Green Will Have Low Fantasy Floor In 2021

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green left the Bengals this offseason, signing a one-year, $8 million contract with the Cardinals. In the high-powered Cardinals offense, a prime A.J. Green could have had a huge season, but he's coming off a year where he turned 104 targets into just 47 catches for 523 yards, with the […]

Evan Longoria Not In The Lineup On Sunday

San Francisco Giants' third baseman Evan Longoria is absent from the lineup on Sunday against Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs. Longo and Brandon Crawford had a scary collision in Saturday's game while both players were going after an Anthony Rizzo infield squibber. Manager Gabe Kapler told reporters following the game that Longoria was dealing […]

Kenta Maeda Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (groin, arm) threw a successful bullpen session on Sunday. Maeda threw 35 pitches with no apparent setbacks and will be in line to start a rehab assignment soon, which will likely see him pitch at Triple-A St. Paul. The veteran righty hasn't pitched since May 22, as he suffered […]

Garrett Hampson Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Colorado Rockies' second baseman/outfielder Garrett Hampson is absent from the lineup for Sunday's game vs. the Oakland Athletics. Yonathan Daza is starting in center field while Ryan McMahon is at second base against right-hander James Kaprielian.

Josh Donaldson Getting The Day Off

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson is getting a breather on Sunday and is not in the lineup against the Kansas City Royals. Donaldson has appeared in each of the first three games of the series, batting .416 with two home runs, a double, three runs scored, and two RBI. Willians Astudillo will get the […]

Jorge Soler Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler is getting the day off on Sunday against Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins. Soler has played three games in a row after missing three straight with a groin strain. This appears to just be a maintenance day for the struggling slugger, who could be available as a pinch-hitter. […]

Nelson Cruz Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz is absent from the lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. This looks to just be a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Jorge Polanco is batting as the DH on Sunday and leading off. Cruz is slashing .260/.355/.503 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI across […]

Bruce Maxwell Traded To The Giants

New York Mets catcher Bruce Maxwell has been traded to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. This is a minor transaction as Maxwell has been wallowing in the minors for the last three seasons. He last played in the majors back in 2018 and holds a .240/.314/.347 career batting line across 366 major league at-bats. […]

Edward Olivares Recalled By The Royals

Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha after the team placed shortstop Adalberto Mondesi on the injured list. Olivares was recalled last weekend for a quick cup of coffee and picked up four hits over 11 at-bats before being sent back down. He should be up for a little longer […]

Byron Buxton On The Verge Of Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) is on the verge of a rehab assignment with the Triple-A St. Paul Saints. Buxton is running at 100 percent without issues and could play in rehab games sometime in the coming week, per manager Rocco Baldelli. The speedy outfielder has been sidelined since May 6 with a hip […]

Khris Davis Scratched On Sunday

Texas Rangers designated hitter Khris Davis (illness) has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It doesn't sound like it's COVID-19 related, so Davis is likely just feeling under the weather. Nick Solak will be the designated hitter, while Charlie Culberson starts at second base in this one. Solak has some deep […]

Jose Urena Activated, Starting Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jose Urena (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He exited early during his most recent outing due to forearm cramping. He'll draw the start against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, but won't be a reliable streaming option. This season, Urena has posted a 4.14 ERA […]

Michael Pineda Feeling Good After Bullpen Session

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Sunday. Pineda was dealing with some forearm tightness that popped up in his most recent start and forced him to be scratched from his scheduled outing Sunday, though he is now lined up to take the mound on Tuesday for the opening game […]

Joel Embiid Will Play In Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play during the series opener against the Hawks. Embiid is currently dealing with a small meniscus tear in his right knee and wasn't available for the Game 5 win over the Wizards. While it is certainly welcome news for fantasy managers and fans alike, it's realistic to expect […]

Adalberto Mondesi Lands On IL

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. This comes after Royals manager Mike Matheny said there was no timetable for Mondesi on Saturday. The young shortstop has been banged up all season long, but did play well during his short time being healthy. Edward Olivares […]

Josh Staumont Activated On Sunday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont (knee) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to a left knee sprain. This season, Staumont carries a 2.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings this season with 25 strikeouts and five saves. He […]
