Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in Saturday's win over the Kansas City Royals. Refsnyder singled with the bases loaded in the fourth inning to give the Twins the lead, then added another base hit RBI in the eighth inning. The 30-year-old is on fire right now, with a .381 average, […]

Anthony Rizzo Out Again On Saturday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) didn't start on Saturday against the Reds. This marks the veteran's fourth consecutive absence from the starting lineup due to stiffness, although he has been available to pinch-hit. Rizzo remains day-to-day, but fantasy managers could see the 31-year-old take a trip to the injured list if his condition […]

Taylor Rogers Picks Up Fourth Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers notched his fourth save of the season in a shaky performance against the Kansas City Royals. Rogers got into some trouble at first, allowing a leadoff double followed by a home run to Adalberto Mondesi. The lefty then retired the next three batters in a row with a pair […]

J.A. Happ Fans Five In Third Victory

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher J.A. Happ earned his third victory of the season in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. Happ pitched five innings, allowing two runs on three hits with a pair of walks and five strikeouts. The veteran southpaw's fastball played well, as he generated six of his seven whiffs with […]

Christian Walker Working His Wack Back

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) appears to be trending in the right direction after completing his fourth Triple-A game on Friday. The veteran has been dealing with a right oblique strain, which caused him to miss multiple games this season. Walker has been on the injured list since May 11 and is currently […]

Zack Wheeler Whiffs 14 Rays On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler was excellent on Saturday as he struck out a career-high 14 batters at Tampa Bay. Wheeler allowed three runs and had to settle for a no-decision, but his pitching line doesn't do justice to how dominant Wheeler was in this game. He threw 71 of 101 pitches for strikes […]

Ramon Laureano Sitting Again With Groin Tightness

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (groin) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Angels. This is the second-straight game Laureano will miss due to groin tightness. Mark Canha will move to center field with Chad Pinder entering the lineup and batting seventh against Alex Cobb. Laureano was one of the most valuable players in […]

David Bote Leaves Game With Apparent Injury

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (shoulder) left Saturday's game against the Reds with a shoulder injury. Bote appeared to hurt himself sliding into second base and was removed from the game holding his left shoulder. If he misses time, it would be rough timing for Bote who had been getting regular at-bats with shortstop Nico […]

Yuli Gurriel Scratched From The Lineup On Saturday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (finger) has been scratched from Saturday's lineup against the San Diego Padres. Taylor Jones will man the cold corner and bat seventh in a brutal matchup against right-hander Yu Darvish. According to Brian McTaggart, Gurriel is dealing with finger inflammation. Fantasy managers should remove Gurriel from lineups on Saturday; […]

Jazz Chisholm Remains Out On Saturday

Miami Marlins infielder Jazz Chisholm (ankle) is not in the starting lineup again on Saturday against the Red Sox. Chisholm has been out since Tuesday with what was described as a "mild" ankle sprain. According to MLB Network's Craig Mish, it is possible the rookie can return on Sunday but the Marlins are playing it […]

Magneuris Sierra Leading Off Again On Saturday

Miami Marlins Outfielder Magneuris Sierra is in the leadoff spot for the third-straight game on Saturday against the Red Sox. Sierra has been batting eighth or ninth most of the season, but his elite speed has always made him a leadoff candidate and he's getting a look here with Jazz Chisholm (ankle) still day-to-day. Sierra […]

Blue Jays-Indians Postponed On Saturday

Saturday's scheduled matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians has been postponed due to inclement weather, according to MLB.com's Mandy Bell.

Gio Urshela Resting On Saturday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela is not in the starting lineup Saturday against Spencer Turnbull and the Tigers. First baseman Mike Ford is in the lineup and batting sixth while DJ LeMahieu will move from first base to third base in place of Urshela. It appears to be a routine day off for […]

Roman Quinn Carried Off With Achilles Injury

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn (Achilles) left Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury. Quinn was attempting to score from first on a double by Ronald Torreyes and came up lame as he rounded third base. Quinn was able to hop home to score the run, but he was visibly in pain sitting […]

Christian Vazquez Takes A Seat Saturday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez is out of the lineup for Saturday's matchup against Trevor Rogers and the Miami Marlins. Vazquez, who has just one hit in his last 13 at-bats, is receiving a routine day off and will be replaced in the lineup by backup catcher Kevin Plawecki. Fantasy managers can expect Vazquez […]

Max Kepler Exits With Hamstring Injury On Saturday

Dodgers Activate Zach McKinstry From Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated second baseman/outfielder Zach McKinstry (oblique) from the injured list on Saturday. McKinstry had been sidelined since April 22 due to a right oblique strain. He was on an impressive run before the injury, slashing .296/.328/.556 with three home runs, five doubles and 14 RBI over 17 games. He should see […]

Kyle Busch Rounds Out Top 20 At Charlotte, Should Finish Higher

Kyle Busch ended up 20th in qualifying on Saturday for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The younger Busch has won six times on intermediate tracks since 2018 including Kansas this year where he led 20 laps.

Cody Bellinger Officially Activated From Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated outfielder Cody Bellinger (leg) from the injured list prior to Saturday's game against Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants. Bellinger suffered a stress fracture in his fibula during the fourth game of the year and has been sidelined ever since. His return is welcome news for the Dodgers […]

Christopher Bell Has Less Upside At Charlotte

Christopher Bell just is not that driver one thinks he would be on shorter and intermediate tracks. The 1.5-mile speedway should tailor to Bell's advantages rather well. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has finished 14th or worse in five straight races. This might be six as Bell has just shown some awful form. The best […]

J.T. Realmuto Reinstated From Injured List On Saturday

The Philadelphia Phillies have reinstated catcher J.T. Realmuto (hand) from the 10-day injured list. He is behind the plate and batting cleanup in Saturday's game against Ryan Yarbrough and the Tampa Bay Rays. Realmuto missed the minimum 10 days due to a hand contusion. Andrew Knapp, who filled in as the team's primary catcher while […]

Joey Logano Could Enjoy Place Differential Rise At Charlotte

Most thought that Joey Logano would be around 8th-10th. So many times on this track, the Team Penske driver finishes right around the top ten (between 8th and 12th). Logano is 6th at Charlotte in points the past three years and fourth on this type of track overall. The No. 22 Ford will be more […]

Trevor Story Lands On Injured List With Elbow Inflammation

The Colorado Rockies have placed star shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) on the 10-day injured list with elbow inflammation. Story suffered the injury during Thursday's game against the New York Mets.

Tyler Reddick Slides Into Top-15 In Qualifying, Could Move Up At Charlotte

Tyler Reddick looked a little better in practice on Saturday but managed to qualify in 15th for Sunday's race at Charlotte. The Richard Childress Racing driver expects to have the speed to inch up the field. One of the main questions will be can Reddick stay close to the front as the laps accumulate? That […]

Brad Keselowski A Wildcard At Charlotte This Sunday

Brad Keselowski has recently won at Charlotte and has five wins on intermediate tracks over the last three seasons. The Team Penske driver has 11 to 1 odds to win on Sunday at Charlotte. However, he has endured quite the up and down season. Despite this, Keselowski does have the sixth most points among all […]

Ka'ai Tom Reinstated From Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated outfielder Ka'ai Tom (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. He isn't in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, but we'll likely see him either in a pinch-hitting role or as a Game 2 starter on Saturday. Tom landed on […]

Anthony DeSclafani Takes No-Decision In Short Start Friday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani took a no-decision in Friday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Dodgers. DeSclafani pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and four walks with three strikeouts. It was a decent start given the tough matchup, but fantasy managers have come to […]

Kurt Busch Rises Up But Can He Stay Near Top Ten At Charlotte?

Kurt Busch is one of the better drivers on low-wear intermediate tracks but even he seemed mildly surprised that he was 12th. While the Chip Ganassi Racing driver did not lead a ton of laps -- he led 3.82% of them at Charlotte in the past four appearances. Busch has three top-tens in that span. […]
