Niko Goodrum Injured In Collision At First Base

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (knee) left the game early on Friday with a right patellar contusion after he collided with Twins third baseman Marwin Gonzalez during a play at first base. Consider him day-to-day for now, but he could sit out a game or two. Goodrum was hitless in three plate appearances with a […]

Jose Altuve Day-To-Day With Hamstring Injury

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) is listed as day-to-day after leaving the game early on Friday with left hamstring discomfort. Altuve's fantasy owners can breathe a sigh of relief that this wasn't a serious injury. He also had single in his only plate appearance before leaving. Coming into the […]

Jose Altuve Leaves Game Early

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve left the game early on Friday after beating out an infield single. There is no indication yet what the injury may be or the severity. Altuve underwent surgery on his right knee in the offseason, so any lower-body injury should be monitored closely. Altuve will be considered day-to-day at […]

Brock Holt Could Start Rehab Assignment Sunday

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (shoulder) could start his minor league rehab assignment on Sunday. The good news is that Holt could return to Boston at some point next week. The bad news is that he had just one hit in 16 at-bats before his injury and might be behind Michael Chavis, Eduardo Nunez […]

Dylan Moore Placed On Injured List

The Seattle Mariners placed infielder Dylan Moore (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right wrist contusion. Shortstop J.P. Crawford and second baseman Shed Long were called up from Triple-A Tacoma in corresponding moves. Moore was serving as a utility infielder and wasn't hitting much, so he wasn't relevant in fantasy to […]

Ryan McMahon Out Against Lefty

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Padres left-handed starting pitcher Eric Lauer. Garrett Hampson is receiving the start at the keystone and is hitting seventh. It's been a tough start for the 24-year-old, as he hasn't seen much playing time and is slashing .186/.211/.267 with a […]

Dee Gordon Out Friday, J.P. Crawford At Shortstop

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is not in the starting lineup on Friday after being hit by a pitch on Thursday night. Tim Beckham shifts to the keystone, while J.P. Crawford is at shortstop and is hitting seventh against Red Sox left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez. Gordon is undergoing a CT scan on Friday, […]

Yolmer Sanchez Gets A Day Off Friday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Leury Garcia will play second base and hit leadoff against Blue Jays starting pitcher Daniel Hudson as the opener. Garcia missed two games this week with an injury but is back in the fold and is hitting a fine .295/.341/.380 […]

Tommy La Stella Leading Off, Albert Pujols Sitting

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella is playing second and batting leadoff on Friday against Orioles starting pitcher Dan Straily. La Stella clobbered two homers and now has nine on the season to go along with 19 runs and 23 RBI. He'll certainly be worth a look in the leadoff spot against a weak […]

Josh Harrison Begins Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (shoulder) started his rehab assignment with High-A Lakeland on Thursday. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game on the farm and was hitting an atrocious .156/.212/.233 with a homer, seven RBI and two steals in 90 at-bats for Detroit before his injury. The 31-year-old infielder is […]

Mariners Bringing Up Shed Long, J.P. Crawford

The Seattle Mariners are calling up second baseman Shed Long and shortstop J.P. Crawford from the minors on Friday to join the team for the weekend series against the Red Sox in Boston. There's a chance both Long and Crawford become the team's middle infielders with Tim Beckham slumping mightily and Dee Gordon (wrist) possibly […]

Dee Gordon's X-Rays Inconclusive

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon's (wrist) X-rays came back inconclusive on Thursday night after he had to leave the game after being hit on the wrist by a J.A. Happ fastball.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) left the game early on Thursday after being hit by a pitch on his right wrist.

Brian Dozier Collects Three Hits on Wednesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier showed signs of life on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a run scored against the Milwaukee Brewers.
