Roman Quinn Exits Tuesday’s Game

Kevin Gausman Dealing With Vaccine Side Effects

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The veteran is dealing with side effects related to the Coronavirus vaccine, and although he isn't expected to miss much time, fantasy managers should prepare for him to miss a trip or two through the cycle. The 30-year-old has played […]

Chris Martin Expected To Report For Rehab Assignment

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Chris Martin (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Gwinnett for a short rehab stint. Upon completion, the veteran is expected to return and rejoin a staff that has dealt with numerous injuries in 2021.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Not In The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (rest) will not play on Tuesday evening against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 22-year-old will get the night off, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed by his absence. Ha-Seong Kim will slide over from second to man the position and bat eighth in a favorable matchup against Mitch Keller […]

Merrill Kelly Heading To The Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Although the reasoning wasn't clear, it certainly isn't good news for a team that has dealt with injuries throughout the rotation. Kelly missed time in 2020 due to a shoulder injury, so fantasy managers could see him out longer. The […]

Patrick Beverley Faces Minutes Limit In Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley (hand) has been given the green light to get back into the mix for Tuesday's contest versus the Raptors. Beverley hadn't taken the floor since April 8 due to a fractured hand, but he will be available Tuesday, albeit in a limited capacity. His return muddles the fantasy […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list shortly before Tuesday night's game, according to Rob Biertempful of The Athletic.

Chimezie Metu Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Chimezie Metu (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Oklahoma City due to a sore back.

Averaging just 5.3 points and 2.6 boards this season, Metu hasn't cracked the Sacramento rotation […]

Michael Wacha Placed On Injured List Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Michael Wacha (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right hamstring tightness, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com.

George Springer Out Of Lineup Again On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday night, as it will be his third game in a row he will sit out. Springer was held out of the lineup on Sunday due to it being a day game immediately following a night game, and then Monday's absence […]

Delon Wright Enters Starting Five For Tuesday’s Game

Sacramento Kings point/shooting guard Delon Wright will be elevated into the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Thunder. Injuries to De'Aaron Fox (health protocols) and Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) have thinned out Sacramento's backcourt depth, and with Wright having proven to be a solid contributor with the second unit, he'll make his first start since […]

Shohei Ohtani Will Pitch Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) will take the mound on Wednesday for the start against the Rays, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Ohtani was scheduled to get the start on Monday night, but he was scratched after being hit by a pitch on his elbow in Sunday's […]

Anthony Rendon Day-To-Day With Knee Contusion

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (knee) is day-to-day with a left knee contusion according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, and is not in the lineup on Tuesday night.

Joakim Soria Activated From Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Joakim Soria (calf) has been activated from the injured list, according to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. Soria has been out since suffering a calf strain in his season debut on April 4. He was the presumed closer coming out of Spring Training, and it seems reasonable to believe he could […]

Amir Garrett Suspended Seven Games For Incident Saturday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Amir Garrett has been suspended seven games for his role in instigating a benches-clearing incident against the Cubs on Saturday, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Garrett screamed and pounded his chest after striking out Anthony Rizzo, which led to both benches coming out onto the field. Garrett is […]

Phil Maton To Start For Tribe

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Phil Maton will make his first start for the Indians on Tuesday night against the Kansas City Royals. It was initially thought that Sam Hentges would be starting tonight, but he will actually follow Maton in this one. Maton has posted a 4.15 ERA with 10 strikeouts across 8 2/3 innings […]

Bryce Harper Remains Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White was activated from the bereavement list on Tuesday, and will be batting sixth against the Orioles.

Ilya Sorokin Looks To Return To Form Versus Sabres

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin will face the Buffalo Sabres in his 20th start of the season on Tuesday.

Kirby Dach Won't Play On Tuesday
