Tomas Nido Has Clean MRI

New York Mets backup catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) received a clean MRI exam on his wrist, but he still has "some limitations," according to manager Luis Rojas. Consider him day-to-day for now, but it looks like Nido will avoid a trip to the injured list. The 27-year-old doesn't have much fantasy appeal, even in two-catcher […]

Jonathan Villar Could Come Off The Bench Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Jonathan Villar's (calf) MRI exam came back clean, and he could come off the bench on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. Villar is out of the lineup for a second straight game with right calf soreness, but it looks like he dodged a trip to the 10-day injured list. Luis Guillorme […]

Austin Gomber Could Be Back Sooner Than Later

The Colorado Rockies believe they caught starting pitcher Austin Gomber's (forearm) issue before it became a major problem.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Lower Back Tightness

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the New York Mets with lower back tightness. For now, fantasy managers should consider Acuna day-to-day, but this is obviously something worth watching very closely. The 23-year-old superstar is hitting .285/.394/.602 with 20 home runs, 58 runs scored, […]

Christian Arroyo Still Out

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (shin) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rays Won't Force A Vidal Brujan Call-Up

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Vidal Brujan, the team's No. 2 prospect behind Wander Franco, may not be joining Franco in the big leagues anytime soon.
