Jackie Bradley Jr. Has Had Some Bad Luck

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. came into Tuesday's game with a .159 batting average on the season, even after getting a couple of hits in Monday's win. Bradley has a .217 batting average on balls in play, which indicates that he's also run into some pretty bad luck in 2021. It's been especially disappointing […]

Jaydon Mickens, Justin Watson On The Bubble

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Jaydon Mickens and Justin Watson have seen their stock fall this offseason. Mickens was the primary returner on punts and kickoffs in 2020, but his future is uncertain after the team drafted rookie Jaelon Darden as a potential replacement. And Mickens didn't exactly stand out in return duties last year. […]

Giovani Bernard Likely To Serve In Pass-Catching Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard looked impressive in voluntary organized team activities and at Tom Brady's unofficial workouts, and he's most likely to serve as the team's third-down and pass-catching back while Ronald Jones II and Leonard Fournette battle for primary ball-carrying duties. Bernard has averaged 42 catches per season in his eight-year […]

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Colin Moran (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Early Summer ADP Fallers at Running Back

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (finger) will be activated from the injured list to start on Wednesday against the New York Mets. Fried will only miss the minimum on the 10-day injured list with a blister on his left index finger that landed him on the IL on June 19. On the season, the […]

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Chaz Roe (shoulder) will have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder on Wednesday.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (shin) isn't in the team's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde (oblique) threw for the first time from up to 120 feet on Tuesday. "It went pretty smoothly, so a good start," Fedde said.

Trey Mancini Not Playing Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini is receiving the day off on Tuesday. Outfielder Anthony Santander will serve as the designated hitter and hit cleanup against Houston Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy.

Kolten Wong Out Tuesday, Could Rejoin Lineup Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) is out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday, but manager Craig Counsell said the team is quite certain that Wong will avoid a trip to the injured list.

The Kansas City Royals placed relief pitcher Wade Davis (forearm) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right forearm strain and called up reliever Richard Lovelady from the minors in a corresponding move.

I've introduced this series with a look at running back comparisons to identify mid-round values at the position. Now, it's time to dive into the wide receiver position. While ADP is very informative and can help you be informed about where you should start worrying about potentially missing out on a player, it shouldn't affect […]

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Spencer Howard was optioned to Triple-A to clear a roster slot for Jean Segura (groin), who was activated off the injured list.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres.

Jean Segura Activated And Batting Second Versus Miami

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura (groin) was activated off the injured list on Tuesday and will start versus the Marlins. Segura will bat second versus Trevor Rogers, certainly a tough matchup having not played an MLB game since June 15. Before going down with a groin injury Segura was one of the hottest hitters […]

Miguel Rojas Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series-opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas is dealing with a finger injury, but he's seemed healthy and this may just be one of manager Don Mattingly's "scheduled" days off. It certainly goes against his, "we need to win all of our games" speech […]
