Giants Put Mike Tauchman On Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Mike Tauchman (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right knee sprain and recalled outfielder Jaylin Davis from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Tauchman suffered the injury on Tuesday, but it doesn't sound like it's that serious. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter is slashing just .183/.290/.294 […]

Yoan Moncada Possibly Out All Weekend

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) is expected to miss the team's weekend series against the Detroit Tigers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reported. Moncada exited Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins after bruising his right hand while trying to slide into third base. The good news for fantasy managers is that Moncada, who […]

Brian Goodwin Stays Hot With Another Home Run

Chicago White Sox outfielder Brian Goodwin stayed hot by going 2-for-4 with a walk and solo home run in Thursday's victory versus the Minnesota Twins. Goodwin has now gone yard in two consecutive games. Goodwin was promoted to the White Sox on June 10 and he has carved out a nice role in the lineup […]

Avisail Garcia Dealing With Hamstring Soreness

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is dealing with left hamstring soreness but will be available off the bench on Thursday, according to manager Craig Counsell. Garcia was out of the lineup on Wednesday and remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday, and now we know why. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The […]

Gavin Lux Sitting Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Gavin Lux will sit on Thursday versus the Washington Nationals. The left-handed swinger will rest with the Nationals throwing lefty Patrick Corbin. Lux has been stuck in a funk and has just four hits over his last 36 at-bats. With Lux out of the lineup, utilityman Chris Taylor will take […]

Josh James Moving Rehab Assignment To Triple-A

Houston Astros relief pitcher Josh James (hip) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Thursday in Cleveland and will now head to Triple-A Sugar Land to continue his rehab assignment. James had been rehabbing with Low-A Fayetteville. The 28-year-old right-hander could be a real weapon for Houston's bullpen in the second half of the season if […]

Victor Gonzalez To Serve As Opener Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Victor Gonzalez will get the start on Thursday as the opener as the team visits the Washington Nationals. Tony Gonsolin was originally slated to start the game, although it is possible the impending rain delay prompted skipper Dave Roberts to save Gonsolin for a start over the weekend. It doesn't […]

Trevor Bauer Expected To Start Sunday

The Los Angeles Dodgers are waiting for guidance from Major League Baseball about starting pitcher Trevor Bauer, according to a report from The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. According to a previous report from Ardaya, Bauer is under investigation after allegations emerged that he assaulted a woman. Ardaya reported Thursday that manager Dave Roberts said Bauer is […]

Tony Santillan Will Work In Relief In Minors

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that right-hander Tony Santillan will work in relief at Triple-A Louisville. It comes after the Reds optioned Santillan after he allowed two earned runs in three innings against the San Diego Padres on Monday to take his second loss of the season. The 24-year-old wasn't bad in his four […]

Pablo Lopez Will Start On Friday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez will have his start pushed back a day and will be on the mound for the Marlins in Friday's series-opener against the Atlanta Braves. Lopez was scheduled to start Thursday's game which was rained out in Philadelphia and will be made up as part of a doubleheader on July […]

Brett Anderson Could Rejoin Rotation Soon

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that left-hander Brett Anderson (knee) will be reinserted into the starting rotation if a planned aggressive bullpen session goes well on Thursday. If Anderson comes out of Thursday with a successful bullpen session, he could be lined up to make his return on Tuesday against the New York Mets. […]

Tommy Pham Taking A Seat Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham is out of Thursday's lineup against the Cincinnati Reds. After a stellar June where he posted a 1.074 OPS with six dingers and six steals, Pham will get a rest day with utilityman Jurickson Profar getting the start in left field and batting seventh. Primarily batting in the leadoff […]

Brewers Send Aaron Ashby Down Thursday

The Milwaukee Brewers optioned left-hander Aaron Ashby to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday and recalled right-hander Alec Bettinger from Nashville in a corresponding move. The team also activated left-hander Angel Perdomo (back) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Nashville. Ashby, the team's No. 7 prospect, allowed seven runs (four earned) in just two-thirds […]

Carlos Correa Getting A Breather Thursday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Cleveland Indians. It appears to be a normal day off for the hot-hitting Correa, who is in the midst of the best season of his career with a .296/.395/.521 slash line, a .916 OPS, 15 home runs, 58 runs scored […]

Eugenio Suarez Getting Another Day Off

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez is receiving a second straight day off on Thursday against the San Diego Padres and left-hander Ryan Weathers. Suarez has struggled in the last week, hitting just .111 (2-for-18) with 13 strikeouts and a solo home run, so it seems as though this is why he's getting a little […]

Kolten Wong Back Against The Pirates

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Wil Crowe, playing second base and hitting leadoff. Wong missed three games this week with a calf injury but will return to his normal position and spot in the Brew Crew lineup. He has been excellent […]

Colin Moran Lands On Injured List With Fractured Wrist

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed first baseman Colin Moran (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a fractured wrist and recalled outfielder Jared Oliva from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Don't expect Moran to be back before the All-Star break with a small fracture in his wrist. The 28-year-old was useful in deep […]

Jose Ramirez Returns To The Lineup

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (face) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez, starting at third base and hitting third in the batting order. Ramirez fouled a ball off his face in the first game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday and didn't play […]

Mark Canha Likely To Return After All-Star Break

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that outfielder Mark Canha (hip) would return to the team on Friday, but it will be a stretch to expect him to be activated from the injured list before the All-Star break. Canha recently received platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his hips after going on the injured list […]

Carlos Carrasco Throwing Side Sessions

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (hamstring) is now throwing full side bullpen sessions, according to Mets manager Luis Rojas. Rojas added that Carrasco looks and feels good and, as a result, he will potentially start a rehab assignment once he completes this step of consistent bullpen sessions. Carrasco hasn't pitched all season due […]

Michael Lorenzen Beginning Rehab Assignment

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) has been sent out on a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League. Lorenzen had a shoulder strain back in March and hasn't pitched yet this season, but he could serve in a starting or relief role for the Reds at some point in the second half. The 29-year-old […]

Marlins-Phillies Game Postponed On Thursday

Thursday's scheduled series finale between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Semien started his afternoon off by swatting his 20th homer of the season off Yusei Kikuchi in the first inning, and he later […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Lasts Four Innings Versus Mariners

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu labored in his start versus the Mariners on Thursday, allowing five runs over four innings of work in a 7-2 loss. Four of the runs he surrendered were earned as he allowed a pair of homers on seven hits and two walks while striking out a pair in […]

Brandon Kintzler Activated From The Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies activated relief pitcher Brandon Kintzler (neck) from the injured list on Thursday. Kintzler has pitched to an 8.50 ERA in 20 appearances spanning 18 innings for the Phillies this season. Although he's struggled, the reliever could be worth a speculative add if you are in need of saves. Philadelphia's bullpen has struggled […]

Jazz Chisholm Out Of The Starting Lineup On Thursday

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Left-hander Matt Moore will be taking the mound for the Phillies after right-hander Zach Eflin was scratched due to an illness. Jon Berti is leading off and playing second base in the game. The left-handed Chisholm […]
