Miguel Rojas Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas will begin Tuesday's game against right-hander Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres on the bench.

Ha-Seong Kim Sitting Out Tuesday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Lance Lynn and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Nolan Gorman Injures Hamstring Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman (hamstring) was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles with right-hamstring tightness. Gorman has had his issues staying on the field regularly in his second major-league season and has also dealt with back problems. When healthy, though, he's been relevant in all fantasy leagues with a .235/.326/.477 slash […]

Brandon Drury To Sit Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This doesn't appear to be injury related, so fantasy managers can assume his absence is for rest purposes. Drury has struggled lately, going 2-for-21 over his last five games. He'll get a chance to rest and […]

Luis Rengifo Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (biceps) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old will see his season come to an end due to a ruptured biceps tendon.
