Chris Owings Departs Early Wednesday With Hamstring Injury

Colorado Rockies utilityman Chris Owings left Wednesday’s contest against the D-backs early due to left hamstring tightness. Sam Hilliard took over in Owings’ stead, with Garrett Hampson shifting to second base. Owings has seen a solid amount of playing time early in 2020, hitting .250/.308/.444 through 14 contests. The veteran has made it his calling […]

George Springer Starting, Jose Altuve Out Of Lineup

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (wrist) will return to the leadoff spot in Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Springer suffered a wrist injury last Thursday and was held out of the starting lineup until now, though he did make an appearance as a pinch runner on Tuesday. While Springer returns to the lineup, […]

Donovan Solano Still Sidelined On Wednesday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Donovan Solano (abdomen) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Wednesday. Thankfully, the 32-year-old was not placed on the injured list. Solano is in the midst of a 15-game hitting streak, and he is slashing a robust .458/.476/.661 to begin the season with 15 RBI. In his absence, Mauricio […]

No New Positive Tests For The Cardinals

The latest round of COVID-19 testing for the St. Louis Cardinals has reportedly not turned up any new positive results.

The Cardinals are just 2-3 and will […]

Jedd Gyorko Crushes Clutch Home Run Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jedd Gyorko went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Twins.

Ildemaro Vargas Acquired By Twins, Willians Astudillo Activated

Utility infielder Ildemaro Vargas has been claimed off of waivers by the Minnesota Twins, after having been DFA’d by the D-backs. Vargas played in 92 games all over the diamond last season and put together a .269/.299/.412 slash line in what was primarily a pinch-hitting role. He could factor in in the short-term if Josh […]

Mike Moustakas Aiming For Return From IL Sunday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Mike Moustakas was last in the lineup last Tuesday when he sustained a left quad strain and severe bruising to the leg. He has since been placed on the IL, although Moustakas doesn’t sound concerned about the issue being a long-term ailment, already professing that he expects to be back in […]

Jose Altuve Will Be Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup Amid Slump

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve already knows that he’ll have the day off for Wednesday’s series finale against the Giants, as manager Dusty Baker announced so prior to Tuesday's game. Altuve has been ice cold at the dish to open 2020 by his standards, having recently taken over the leadoff spot in the order […]

Donovan Solano, Pablo Sandoval Out Of Tuesday’s Lineup

The San Francisco Giants will be without both second baseman Donovan Solano and first baseman/designated hitter Pablo Sandoval for Tuesday’s contest against Houston. Solano is being held back due to abdominal soreness, while Sandoval is dealing with “family concerns.” It’s been a breakout 2020 campaign for Solano, a 32-year-old journeyman who has quickly barreled his […]

Leury Garcia Placed On Injured List

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb. Garcia reminded baseball fans why you don’t slide into first base and that’s how he suffered the injury Monday night. With Nick Madrigal (shoulder) sidelined and Garcia performing well, it’s a bad time for him […]

Ian Happ Moves Up In Batting Order

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ has moved up in the order to the number six spot on Tuesday versus the Indians. Manager David Ross earlier in the day commented on how Happ has really improved since his stint in Triple-A last year and that Happ is the club’s centerfielder. Happ has been hitting the ball […]

Luis Urias Lands Start At Second Base For Brewers

Rougned Odor Having Another Slow Start

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has done nothing in 2020 to prove his doubters wrong. The left-handed hitter is slashing .128/.209/. 231 to begin the year while his competition is at least performing adequately. There were mumblings that Odor's time at second base me be coming to an end during spring training, but he […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/11/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Whether owners will get a true “complete” slate at any stage in 2020 as the league adjusts to the COVID-19 pandemic on the fly remains to be seen, but Tuesday is a close microcosm of what a packed house main slate will look like. In addition to having to combat Coors Field, Max Scherzer and […]

Chicago White Sox infielder Danny Mendick went 3-for-4 with a triple on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers. Mendick has hit a respectable .303 in limited action this year and is now the everyday second baseman with Nick Madrigal (shoulder) sidelined.
