Sergio Alcantara Making MLB Debut On Sunday

Detroit Tigers infielder Sergio Alcantara was called up on Friday for the team's double-header against the Minnesota Twins, but he didn't make an appearance in either game that day.

Jorge Soler Not In Starting Lineup Sunday

Kansas City Royals outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

He returned on Friday, but went 0-for-5 and was then pulled […]

Ketel Marte Not In Lineup On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte will be getting his second day of rest this week as he is not part of the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants.

Marcus Semien Remains On Sidelines

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien (side) will sit out once again on Sunday as he continues to deal with soreness in his left side. Semien aggravated the injury on August 29 against the Houston Astros and hasn't played since.

Randal Grichuk Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk is not part of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Grichuk had started and hit second in the lineup in the team's previous 18 games, so he was certainly due for a day off. Jonathan Villar is hitting second in Sunday's game while Cavan Biggio […]

Jay Bruce Placed On Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed outfielder Jay Bruce (quad) on the 10-Day Injured List. Outfielder Kyle Garlick was added to the team's roster in a corresponding move. Bruce has been dealing with the same quad injury that cost him multiple games in August, which is certainly not a good sign for his prospects going forward. […]

Calvin Ridley Set Up For Breakout Year

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is locked and loaded for a breakout season in 2020. Ridley was red-hot towards the end of last year prior to his season-ending abdominal injury.

J.T. Realmuto Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is getting the day off on Sunday as the team faces Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets.

Renato Nunez Out For Second-Straight Game On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Renato Nunez is not part of the team's starting lineup for the second-straight game on Sunday as the team wraps up their four-game series against the New York Yankees. Nunez suffered a hamstring injury on Wednesday this past week, but went on to start in three straight games after that, so […]

Gleyber Torres Not In Lineup On Sunday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres returned to the lineup on Saturday after missing about two weeks while dealing with a left quad strain. However, he's heading to the bench for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles as Tyler Wade is getting the start at shortstop. It seems as if the team is doing little […]

Adam Eaton Back In Lineup On Sunday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves, playing right field and batting second. Eaton jammed his knee in Thursday's game and went on to miss the team's games on Friday and Saturday. Eaton hasn't had a great year, slashing .220/.277/.370 with three home runs […]

Teoscar Hernandez Heading To The Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ribs) suffered an apparent rib injury in Saturday's game and is headed for a trip to the Injured List for what could be a significant injury. There aren't too many details on the injury at this point, but fantasy owners who have Hernandez should prepare to be without him […]

Luis Arraez Back In Lineup Sunday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez (patella) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers after missing the team's past three games while dealing with left patellar soreness. Arraez will hit second in the game on Sunday, a boost from his typical sixth or seventh spot in the order. Arraez has a […]

Nelson Cruz Sitting On Sunday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (hip) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Cruz was originally slated to start and hit third in the game, but was instead scratched due to hip tightness, though it sounds like Cruz's absence may just be nothing more than a day off. Rookie […]

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal will get a day of rest on Sunday. Madrigal recently returned from a shoulder injury.
