Monasterio will bat […]

Jose Altuve Remains Out Once Again

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Enrique Hernandez To Play Center Field Against Lefties

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that outfielder/infielder Enrique Hernandez will play center field against left-handed pitchers, and his role is to be determined against right-handers.

The 26-year-old complained of a "slight headache" and will […]

White Sox Release Hanser Alberto

The White Sox released infielder Hanser Alberto on Sunday. The 30-year-old spent time in the lineup while Elvis Andrus (oblique) was on the shelf. However, the team designated him for assignment a few days ago, a move made to prepare for his unconditional release. Alberto was hitting .220 in 82 at-bats this season, one of […]

Orlando Arcia (2B/SS/OF, ATL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Arcia operates primarily as a middle infielder for the Braves, he does now carry outfielder eligibility.

Amed Rosario Absent From The Guardians Lineup

Cleveland Guardians shortstop Amed Rosario (knee) is not in the lineup on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins.

Luis Urias Expected To Return Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list on Tuesday.

Jose Altuve Still Out Sunday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) remains out of the team's starting lineup against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.

Michael Massey (2B, KC) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Like Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller, Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey got off to an atrocious start to the season but really turned things around in May.
