Mitch Haniger, Braden Bishop Have Surgery

Seattle Mariners outfielders Mitch Haniger (testicle) and Braden Bishop (spleen) both had surgery on Friday and are out indefinitely. The Mariners have had some bad luck in their outfield this week after just trading Jay Bruce last weekend. Haniger is the big one, though, and he could wind up missing a month or more with […]

Shin-Soo Choo Undergoes MRI

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (hand) underwent an MRI exam on Friday due to lingering soreness in his left hand.

Giancarlo Stanton Close To Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is "close" to a rehab assignment, but there is no date yet. It's been a lost season so far for Stanton, who has been out since March 31. Still, the 29-year-old needs to remain stashed in all leagues for his premier home run […]

Corey Dickerson, Jung Ho Kang To Be Activated Saturday

The Pittsburgh Pirates plan to activate outfielder Corey Dickerson (shoulder) and third baseman Jung Ho Kang (oblique) from the injured list on Saturday. Dickerson has been out since April 3, while Kang has been on the shelf since May 11. Pittsburgh's outfield is pretty crowded as it stands with Bryan Reynolds, Starling Marte and Gregory […]

Adam Eaton is Back in the Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Eaton sat out due to rest on Thursday, but is back in the lineup for this one. He'll bat second and play right field versus lefty Nick Margevicius. Eaton isn't worth using in DFS contests […]

Kole Calhoun Has Cooled Off At The Plate

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun will try and snap out of a 4-for-23 (.174) funk when the Angels open up a series with the Mariners beginning Friday. Calhoun enjoyed an excellent month of May, slashing .299/.394/.552 with one triple, four home runs and eight doubles. But the slugger has come back down to earth […]

Shin-Soo Choo is Out on Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Danny Santana will cover left field and […]

Charlie Blackmon, Wade Davis Back From Injured List

The Colorado Rockies activated outfielder Charlie Blackmon (calf) and closer Wade Davis (oblique) from the injured list on Friday and designated reliever Chris Rusin for assignment and optioned second baseman Garrett Hampson to Triple-A Albuquerque in corresponding moves. Blackmon, 32, is not in the lineup on Friday but should be back in there on Saturday. […]

Starling Marte Sitting Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Bryan Reynolds is playing center field and hitting second, while Melky Cabrera starts in left field and is hitting third against Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff. Both Reynolds and Cabrera have hit for very respectable averages and are in good lineup spots […]

J.D. Martinez Hoping To Return Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back), who left the game early with back spasms on Thursday, is being listed as day-to-day. Manager Alex Cora said Martinez is feeling better and hopes to return on Saturday. The injury may limit how much the team uses him in the outfield moving forward. Eduardo Nunez is serving […]

Adam Jones Remains Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Jones has been sidelined since June 5 with a hamstring issue. However, the D-Backs don't believe that Jones is going to land on the injured list. Tim Locastro will bat eighth and play right field […]

Adam Haseley Scratched on Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley (hip) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Cincinnati Reds. Haseley is dealing with a sore left hip flexor, but is expected to be back sometime this weekend. Scott Kingery will slide into center field and bat seventh versus righty Tyler Mahle. Kingery has been hot with the […]

Padres Could Keep Josh Naylor Over Manuel Margot

The San Diego Padres are considering keeping outfielder Josh Naylor on the big league roster over Manuel Margot once Franchy Cordero (elbow) returns from the injured list. Naylor is 5-for-15 during a five-game hitting streak in which he's homered twice and gone 2-for-2 as a pinch-hitter. The team's fourth-ranked position player was initially only going […]

Mike Trout Has Juicy Friday Matchup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will have a favorable matchup against Marco Gonzales and the Mariners Friday night. Trout is slashing .360/.500/.840 over his last seven games and is slugging an astounding .733 at home this season. He will be an elite option in DFS for Friday against Gonzales, whom Trout has a career […]

George Springer Takes Batting Practice

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer is taking batting practice and getting closer to returning to the field. The Astros leadoff hitter has been on the shelf with a hamstring injury and it appears that running at full speed will be the last hurdle to clear. Springer told reporters, "Hitting is not an issue, I don't […]

Dwight Smith Lands On Concussion Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed outfielder Dwight Smith (concussion) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and called up outfielder Anthony Santander from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Smith has cooled off a bit after a hot start but was still hitting .249/.296/.462 with 11 home runs, 31 runs, a team-high 41 RBI and […]

Josh Reddick Slugging .607 Over Last Seven Games

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick will start and hit fifth Friday night against the Orioles. Reddick has been striking the ball with authority lately, slugging .607 over his last seven games with one double, one triple, two home runs and five runs batted in during that span. Reddick is seeing more RBI-opportunities in the middle […]

Max Kepler Out Of Lineup Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is not in the starting lineup on Friday a day after slugging three home runs. Marwin Gonzalez will start in right field and will hit sixth against Tigers left-handed starting pitcher Matt Boyd. Kepler has been raking atop a great Twins lineup this year and should be started anytime he's […]

Michael Brantley Hopes To Extend Nine-Game Hitting Streak

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley will try and extend his hitting streak to 10 games Friday night against the Orioles. Brantley has been as consistent as they come on offense this season, hitting .324 in April, .327 in May and .333 thus far in June. He has hits in 14 of his last 15 games […]

Mitch Haniger Going On Injured List

The Seattle Mariners are placing outfielder Mitch Haniger (testicle) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a ruptured testicle and are calling up reliever Tayler Scott from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Ouch. The Mariners also recently placed outfielder prospect Braden Bishop on the injured list with a lacerated spleen, so they've had […]

Alex Gordon Rips 10th Home Run

The corpse of Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon continued its rise from the dead on Thursday by drilling a line drive home run into the seats in the bottom of the seventh against the Red Sox. Gordon's home run was a laser that just snuck over the wall in right-center, but the solo shot […]
