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 […]

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

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien was the lone bright spot for the offense on Thursday as he went 3-for-4 with two runs in the club's 7-2 loss to the Mariners. 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

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 […]

Yoan Moncada Leaves Thursday's Game With Bruised Hand

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) was removed from Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins after bruising his right hand. He was replaced in the game by Billy Hamilton. Moncada is currently being evaluated further. He suffered the injury while sliding into third base in the game. He remained in the game initially […]

Zach Eflin Scratched From Thursday's Start With Illness

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin has been scratched from Thursday's scheduled start against the Miami Marlins due to an illness. Eflin is reportedly dealing with congestion and body aches, but he tested negative for COVID-19. He is now scheduled to start Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Meanwhile, Matt Moore will be the […]

Jean Segura Absent From Thursday's Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Pablo Lopez and the Miami Marlins. Nick Maton is getting the start at second base and batting seventh in the game. Segura missed about two weeks with a groin injury before being activated from the injured list this past […]

Brock Holt On The Bench For Thursday's Game

Texas Rangers third baseman Brock Holt is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against left-hander Sean Manaea and the Oakland Athletics. Charlie Culberson is getting the start at third base and batting eighth in the game. Holt has been a regular in the starting lineup lately, but the same-handed matchup against Manaea on […]

Raisel Iglesias Nails Down 15th Save Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias locked down his 15th save of the year on Wednesday night to secure the Angels 11-8 win over the Yankees. Iglesias struck out one in a clean ninth inning to convert his 15th save in 18 chances. June represented the best month of the season for the 31-year-old, […]

Clint Capela Uncertain For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (eye) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 5 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He took an elbow to the eye during Game 4, but it sounds like he avoided any serious injury. The results of Wednesday's re-evaluation have not been announced, so fantasy managers are in the dark […]

Trae Young Remains Questionable For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) is listed as questionable for Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Both Young and Clint Capela (eye) traveled with the team, but it's uncertain if they will actually take the court for this game. Hopefully, Capela can play through the eye inflammation, but Young's status is up […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Listed As Probable For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is listed as probable for Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He has been dealing with right knee soreness over the last few games, but continues to play significant minutes. Bogdanovic is averaging 34 minutes over the last two games and doesn't appear to be hindered by […]

Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner To Share Frontcourt

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis and center Myles Turner are expected to share the frontcourt next season, according to new Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. The veteran coach mentioned that it was always a challenge for him whenever he'd face the Pacers' big men during his time with Dallas. "I'm looking forward to the challenge of […]

Corbin Burnes Looks For Redemption Against Pirates

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes will toe the rubber in a Thursday matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 26-year-old was chased after four innings back on June 12 to the tune of nine hits, three walks and four runs (three earned). The start represented a season-worst 35.0 game score for Burnes. The Brewers co-ace, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out For Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as doubtful coming into the contest, so it wouldn't shock anyone that he won't suit up on Thursday. The good news is, there are no structural damage or issues with the ligaments in his knee. […]

Jared Walsh Hits Two Homers Wednesday Night

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh hit two home runs and knocked in five RBI against the New York Yankees on Wednesday during an 11-8 Halos victory.
