Trevor Story Lands On IL, Bobby Dalbec Recalled

The Boston Red Sox placed second baseman Trevor Story (heel) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left heel contusion. The move is retroactive to Sept. 19. The Red Sox were hoping that Story could return at some point this week after getting injured on Sept. 11, but that hasn't happened. With very […]

Brendan Rodgers Still Out Thursday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury and was last in the lineup on Sunday. There's a chance he'll be back in the lineup this weekend against the San Diego Padres, though, since his MRI […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 24

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Jose Altuve Is Considered Day-To-Day

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (elbow) was pulled out of Wednesday's contest after getting hit by a pitch. The organization believes that the veteran infielder has avoided a serious injury. He has been diagnosed with left elbow discomfort and is considered day-to-day. It doesn't sound like something that is going to cost Altuve more […]

Trevor Story Still On The Bench

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. It will be the seventh straight game that Story has missed. He was able to do some running on Sunday, but he has yet to play in over a week to due a heel injury. […]

Brendan Rodgers Out Again Wednesday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers remains day-to-day after a recent MRI exam ruled out significant damage, but he'll miss his third straight game for the Rockies. Garrett Hampson is getting the nod at second base in this one and […]

Joey Wendle Remains Out Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. Wendle has been banged up of late and will sit for the third straight game. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old to be day-to-day. It's a shame, since he's been hot in the month of September, hitting .313 […]

Jorge Mateo Isn't In Wednesday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo isn't in the team's lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Matt Manning. Mateo is batting .220 with a .267 on-base percentage, 13 home runs, and 30 stolen bases in 484 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Gunnar Henderson moving to shortstop with Ramon […]

Luis Arraez Not Starting Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez isn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Daniel Lynch. Arraez has been one of Minnesota's best position players this season, hitting .314 with a .373 on-base percentage, eight home runs, and four stolen bases in 563 plate appearances. Instead, […]

Trevor Story Remains Sidelined Tuesday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy will be on the bench for the first game of the team's doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday afternoon.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts isn't in the team's lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Betts is hitting .273 with a .345 on-base percentage, 34 home runs, and 12 stolen bases in 583 plate appearances this season. The Dodgers will instead start Joey Gallo in right […]

Thairo Estrada Hits Go-Ahead Homer Monday

San Francisco Giants middle infielder Thairo Estrada had a big game at the plate in Monday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies. Estrada went 3-for-6 with a single, a double, a go-ahead three-run home run in the 10th inning, and a strikeout. The 26-year-old has been a surprise fantasy contributor this season, slashing .266/.326/.416 with […]

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) will get an MRI exam on his left hamstring on Monday night and won't be in the starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants.
