George Springer Hitless In Tuesday’s Rehab Debut

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps) started in center field and went 0-for-4 during his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo. As expected, he played five innings in Tuesday's contest. The former Houston Astro has been sidelined since early May due to a right quadriceps strain. It's unclear how many games Springer will play […]

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The move is retroactive to Saturday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) could return for the series finale against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Fantasy managers […]

Tucker Davidson Exits Prematurely Against Boston

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Tucker Davidson (forearm) was removed from Tuesday's matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The 25-year-old was experiencing forearm tightness, and he lasted just over two innings of work.

Kyle Tucker Dealing With Illness

Updating a previous post, Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) is not in the lineup on Tuesday against Texas. While it was initially thought that the 24-year-old was getting the night off to rest, skipper Dusty Baker indicated that he is currently feeling under the weather. It's unfortunate timing, primarily since he was red-hot during […]

Anthony Rendon Absent From Lineup Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels' third baseman Anthony Rendon (triceps) is absent from the Angels' starting lineup on Tuesday against the Oakland A's. Rendon left Monday's game early with a triceps strain so it's not a surprise that he's out on Tuesday. As of now, he still hasn't been placed on the injured list but he should […]

Kris Bryant Exits Early On Tuesday Against The Mets

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hand) left Tuesday's game against the New York Mets early after being hit by a pitch in the first inning. Bryant was struck on the left hand by a Taijuan Walker offering in the top of the first, but he initially stayed in the game. He ran the bases and […]

John Means Plays Catch On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means (shoulder) started playing catch on Tuesday as part of his progression, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Means was placed on the 10-day IL back on June 6 with a left shoulder strain. Now that he's started to play catch the next step would be some mound work and […]

Mike Brosseau Recalled From Triple-A

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Mike Brosseau has been recalled from Triple-A Durham after starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Brosseau was just sent down on Monday so it didn't take long for him to get recalled. He's slashing just .184/.259/.336 with four home runs, 16 RBI, and 17 […]

Darin Ruf Working Through His Running Progression

San Francisco Giants' first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf (hamstring) is still working through his running progression, according to manager Gabe Kapler.

Adbert Alzolay Throws Bullpen Session On Monday

Chicago Cubs right-hander Adbert Alzolay (finger) threw a successful bullpen session on Monday, according to pitching coach Tommy Hottovy. He'll need at least one more bullpen before he's activated from the injured list due to a blister issue. Beat writer Meghan Montemurro noted that the team wants to see how his finger recovers in "game […]

Pavin Smith Getting A Night Off On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Pavin Smith is sitting out Tuesday's game vs. the San Francisco Giants. This appears to just be a routine day off for the rookie so he should be available off the bench as a pinch-hitter. The 25-year-old has struggled over his last seven games, slashing .200/.259/.241 so a night of rest should […]

Mitch Haniger Out Again On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) is out again on Tuesday vs. the Minnesota Twins. Haniger fouled a ball off his left knee in Sunday's win over the Indians and suffered a bone bruise. He also sat out Monday's contest but it looks like he will avoid a stint on the injured list. Jake Fraley […]

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) took grounders on Tuesday, and the club is hopeful that he will be able to start swinging the bat by the end of the week.

Cody Bellinger Not In Lineup On Tuesday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday night.

The one silver lining is […]

Danny Jansen Nearing A Return For Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (hamstring) is close to returning from the 10-day injured list, manager Charlie Montoyo said Tuesday.

Brandon Lowe Sitting Out Tuesday's Contest

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the White Sox.

Wil Myers Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old is riding a modest four-game hitting streak but has limped to a .517 OPS in June.

Kyle Tucker Sitting Out Tuesday's Contest

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (elbow) has opted to go through rehab and avoid surgery for his partially torn UCL, according to Joey Johnston of the Tampa Bay Times.

Adam Frazier Gets Night Off On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Nationals.
