San Diego Padres second baseman Ha-Seong Kim isn't in the lineup for Sunday's matchup with Yonny Chirinos and the Tampa Bay Rays.

The 29-year-old is batting […]

Ketel Marte Absent From Sunday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is absent from the lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians.

Mauricio Dubon Taking A Seat Against The Reds On Saturday

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. This looks to be a routine day off for the 28-year-old utility man. Dubon has been excellent for Houston this season, slashing .290/.315/.403 with three home runs, 15 RBI, and five stolen bases over 221 at-bats. Corey Julks is […]

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal will start on the pine for Saturday's contest against the visiting Baltimore Orioles.

Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey (finger) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup versus the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old suffered a finger laceration, so the team will hold him out from this contest. This sounds like a minor issue, so fantasy managers should consider Massey as day-to-day.

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon is starting in right field and is back in the leadoff spot on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds and rookie left-hander Andrew Abbott.
