Brendan Rodgers Not Playing After All

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Alan Trejo is now starting at the keystone and batting eighth against Braves rookie right-hander Darius Vines. Rodgers will now miss his second straight game due to an illness. Not many fantasy managers were going to […]

Brendan Rodgers Back In Action For Rockies

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves and rookie right-hander Darius Vines, playing second base and batting in the six-hole.

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Curtis Mead had an incredible night for Triple-A Durham, going 2-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season and four RBI.

Jake Cronenworth Likely To Avoid Surgery

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth (wrist) likely won't need surgery to repair a right wrist fracture that he sustained late last week on a hit by pitch. Still, the 29-year-old will be down for a bit, and there's a chance he won't return from the injured list by the end of the season. It's […]

Josh Rojas Sitting Tuesday

Seattle Mariners infielder Josh Rojas is on the bench for Tuesday's game against left-hander Ken Waldichuk and the Oakland Athletics. He sat on Monday as well, which was also against a lefty, so it's clear the 29-year-old is in a platoon role. Since coming to Seattle, Rojas has been on fire, slashing .290/.333/.468 with three […]

Brendan Rodgers Remains Out On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He was a late scratch from Monday's game due to an illness. It appears Rodgers still isn't feeling up to full speed, so the Rockies will give him another day off. In his absence, Harold Castro […]

Colt Keith Surging At Triple-A

Detroit Tigers minor league infielder Colt Keith is a fast-rising prospect who has turned heads throughout various levels of affiliated ball. Now knocking on the door of Major League Baseball, the 22-year-old continues to impress from the left side of the plate with a swing that is fast yet under control. As a result, he […]

Tommy Edman Taking A Day Off

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is getting a day of rest on Tuesday against the visiting San Diego Padres. With Edman on the bench, Nolan Gorman will start at second base and bat third for the Cardinals against Padres right-hander Seth Lugo. Richie Palacios will play center field and bat leadoff. The switch-hitting Edman […]

Bryson Stott Resting Against Left-Hander

Philadelphia Phillies middle infielder Bryson Stott is taking the day off on Tuesday with the team facing Los Angeles Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson. With Stott sitting out, Rodolfo Castro will get the nod at the keystone and will hit seventh against Anderson. Stott has actually been strong against lefties in 2023, hitting .302 (38-for-126) against […]

No Timeline For Matt McLain's Return

Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Matt McLain (oblique) landed on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right-oblique strain, and the Reds don't have a timeline for his return.

Ozzie Albies Returns From Injured List

The Atlanta Braves reinstated second baseman Ozzie Albies (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Vaughn Grissom to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.
