Josh Harrison's MRI Exam Comes Back Clean

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (shoulder) was placed on the injured list on Tuesday, but an MRI exam on his left shoulder showed only inflammation and no structural damage. He's on anti-inflammatory medication and could receive a cortisone shot soon, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Harrison is batting an atrocious .156 with one home […]

Robinson Cano Returns Against Reds

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is back at second base and is hitting third on Wednesday against Reds starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani. Cano missed a few games after being hit by a pitch, but he's good to go on Wednesday and could be a DFS sleeper. The 36-year-old veteran is hitting .270/.324/.430 […]

Brian Dozier Not Playing Wednesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. He'll be replaced at the keystone by Wilmer Difo, who is hitting eighth against Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas. Dozier is really struggling in his first year with Washington, hitting .184/.297/.333 with four home runs and six RBI in his first […]

DJ LeMahieu Remains Out Of Lineup

While the New York Yankees will see infielder Giovanny Urshela return to the starting lineup Wednesday, fellow infielder DJ LeMahieu remains out. The 30-year-old suffered a knee injury Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. LeMahieu was one of New York's stalwarts early on this season as the original members of the starting lineup have nearly […]

Josh Harrison Placed On Injured List

The Detroit Tigers placed second baseman Josh Harrison on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 27, with a left shoulder contusion on Tuesday and recalled infielder Harold Castro from the minors in a corresponding move. The 31-year-old Harrison was hitting a weak .156/.212/.233 in 99 plate appearances this year and isn't worth stashing in […]

Eric Sogard Leaves Game With Illness

The new leadoff hitter for the Toronto Blue Jays, second baseman Eric Sogard, was removed Tuesday night after going 0-for-2 due to a stomach virus. The Jays and his fantasy owners will hope he recovers quickly, as he has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since his call-up to the majors with a […]

Brandon Drury Hits Solo Home Run Against Angels

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brandon Drury went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Angels. After a slow start to begin the season, the 26-year-old has been extremely productive over the past two weeks with five homers and nine RBI. He has also recorded seven hits and three home […]

Adam Frazier Starts Pirates Ninth-Inning Rally

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier finished 2-for-5 with a run batted in and two runs scored. His RBI single in the ninth gave the team their first run of the game before eventually tying it at three to go to extra innings. It marks three straight games with an RBI for the 27-year-old, and […]

Starlin Castro Quiet Against Cleveland

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro was quiet on Tuesday, going 0-for-4 in the 7-4 loss to the Indians. Despite his ineffective performance in this one, the 29-year-old has 12 hits over his last 10 games. Though he won't get you much of anything else while playing for a struggling Marlins team, he should continue […]

Jose Peraza Drives In One, Steals A Base

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jose Peraza went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in a 4-3 win over the New York Mets on Tuesday. Peraza made his second consecutive appearance as the team's leadoff man in the win. After a painfully slow start, Peraza has begun to pick it up of late, hitting .350 […]

Jeff McNeil Picks Up Four Hits From Leadoff Spot

The New York Mets offense was ignited by the leadoff hitter Jeff McNeil Tuesday night in a game they won in extras. Starting at second base with Robinson Cano out as he continues to deal with a hand injury, the 27-year-old recorded four hits. In the third, his bunt single resulted in an RBI. McNeil later […]

Jurickson Profar is Out on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It appears this is just a rest day for Profar, so he should be back soon. Chad Pinder will draw the start at second base and bat seventh versus righty Rick Porcello. Pinder doesn't […]

Josh Harrison Too Sore To Play

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison's shoulder is still too sore to play on Tuesday, and he can't finish his swing. However, he hasn't had an MRI exam and doesn't think he'll be out much longer. Ronny Rodriguez is starting at the keystone on Tuesday and is hitting fifth against Phillies starter Vince Velasquez. Harrison […]

No Timetable For Brock Holt's Return

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt has been diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement, and there is no timetable for his return. Holt is over the scratched cornea in his eye, but now he's dealing with another injury. It's looking like both Dustin Pedroia (knee) and Eduardo Nunez (back) will return before Holt now. With […]

Neil Walker Available To Pinch Hit

Miami Marlins infielder Neil Walker (knee) had an MRI exam on Monday reveal a mild bone bruise in his right knee. He is not starting on Tuesday but is available to pinch hit. The 33-year-old veteran has three homers and four RBI while hitting .260 in 77 at-bats for the Fish so far in 2019. […]

Robinson Cano Remains Out Tuesday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday. X-rays came back negative after Cano was hit by a pitch on Sunday, so consider him day-to-day for now. Jeff McNeil is starting at the keystone and is batting leadoff on Tuesday against Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo. McNeil […]

Orioles-White Sox Postponed Tuesday

The game between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White has been postponed on Tuesday due to inclement weather. It'll be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Orioles starter Andrew Cashner and White Sox starter Ivan Nova will likely be pushed back until Wednesday. Make sure you take any players from either team […]

Michael Chavis Continues Hot Start

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis finished 2-for-4 with three runs batted in in a win over Oakland on Monday. Chavis' two-RBI single in the third was part of Boston's six-run outburst before another run-scoring single in the fifth gave him his second multi-RBI game of his young career. A top prospect in the Boston […]

Garrett Hampson Relegated To The Bench

The Colorado Rockies haven't made a formal announcement, but the writing is on the wall for second baseman Garrett Hampson. Daniel Murphy returned from the injured list on April 24 and since then, Hampson has started one game. His competition at second base, Ryan McMahon, has started four. Hampson was a popular sleeper before the […]

Brock Holt Now Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt is over his scratched cornea, but he's now dealing with a right shoulder issue and is headed back to Boston for tests. It's unclear how much additional time Holt will have to miss. The Red Sox won't be as rushed to bring Holt, Dustin Pedroia and Eduardo Nunez back […]

DJ LeMahieu, Giovanny Urshela Day-To-Day

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu underwent an MRI exam on Monday which revealed inflammation in his right knee. LeMahieu suffered a contusion on his knee after fouling a pitch off his knee on Friday and he left the game early on Sunday. He's listed as day-to-day. Infielder Giovanny Urshela also left the game Sunday […]

Dustin Pedroia, Eduardo Nunez Starting Rehab Assignments

Boston Red Sox infielders Dustin Pedroia (knee) and Eduardo Nunez (back) are both starting minor league rehab assignments this week -- Pedroia with Portland on Thursday and Nunez with Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday. Both infielders could be back after a few minor league games, barring setbacks. However, with rookie Michael Chavis holding down the fort […]

Ian Kinsler In Danger Of Losing Roster Spot?

San Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler sat out on Sunday after seven straight starts at the keystone, and he went hitless with a strikeout in three plate appearances on Monday to drop his season slash line to .134/.211/.244 with two homers, two RBI and 16 strikeouts on the year. Manager Andy Green said Kinsler […]

Robinson Cano is Not Playing on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Cano was hit in the wrist by a pitch on Sunday, so it's not surprising to see him sitting out here. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Cano should only miss a few […]

Jose Altuve Mired In Slump

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has only three hits over his last 24 at-bats (.125) as the team begins a series with the Twins Monday night. In fact, ever since Altuve homered in five straight games in early April, he is only 7-for-45 (.155) with only two home runs. Altuve is far too talented […]
