Jo Adell Recovering Quickly

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (ankle, hamstring) is doing "really well" in his rehab from ankle and hamstring injuries and is "completely symptom-free," according to general manager Billy Eppler. Adell will start a spring-and-agility progression next week, but the Angels will slow play his return. Adell is the team's top prospect and No. 13 […]

Lonnie Chisenhall Feeling Better

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) said his calf is feeling better and will run in a straight line and take batting practice on Tuesday. He could attempt to do side-to-side drills on Wednesday. Chisenhall has yet to play in 2019, but he should be an option against right-handers for DFS purposes sometime later […]

Peter Bourjos, Chris Stratton Cut

The Los Angeles Angels designated outfielder Peter Bourjos and pitcher Chris Stratton for assignment on Tuesday to make room for designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow), third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) and relief pitcher Cody Allen (back). Infielder Luis Rengifo was also optioned to the minors. The 32-year-old Bourjos was seeing limited playing time and hit […]

Christin Stewart Likely To Return Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart (quadriceps) is with the team on Tuesday but is likely to be activated from the injured list on Wednesday. Stewart was hitting just .222 (12-for-54) but did have three home runs and 13 RBI and should be able to help improve a struggling Detroit offense as an everyday outfielder. He […]

Ben Zobrist is Scratched on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Zobrist was replacing the left-handed hitting Kyle Schwarber versus lefty Caleb Smith. However, Zobrist is not playing due to a personal matter. Schwarber will bat eighth and play left field versus Smith. Schwarber is not a recommended fantasy option on […]

Melky Cabrera is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Melky Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It does not appear that anything is wrong with Cabrera, but the Pirates want to give their veteran outfielder a day off. Bryan Reynolds will draw the start in left field and bat fifth versus righty […]

Nomar Mazara is Sitting Against Lefty

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mazara is fine, but the Rangers want to give him a day off and he's not overly great against left-handed pitching. Hunter Pence will draw the start in right field and bat cleanup versus lefty Steven […]

Kyle Schwarber is Sitting on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Fantasy owners can relax, as this is not injury-related. Schwarber is struggling at the plate, and facing lefty Caleb Smith isn't going to help his fantasy value. Ben Zobrist will draw the start in left field […]

Lorenzo Cain Returns to the Lineup on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cain left early during Sunday's contest after taking a pitch off the hand. The X-rays were negative and Cain is back in the starting lineup for this one. Cain will lead off and play center field […]

Mike Trout Needs More RBI Opportunities

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and Co. will open up a series in Detroit on Tuesday night against the Tigers.

He currently leads the […]

Avisail Garcia Resting Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (shoulder) returned to the lineup on Monday after missing two games with a slight dislocation of his right shoulder while diving for a ball at first base on Friday.

A.J. Pollock Out At Least Six Weeks

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) will be out at least six weeks after undergoing surgery to clear up an infection in his right elbow. Doctors inserted a catheter into his left biceps to deliver antibiotics to the affected area in his right arm. The infection is near where he had surgery in 2016 […]

Austin Meadows Hoping To Return This Weekend

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (thumb) went through a full workout on Monday and will go through another one on Tuesday.

Hunter Renfroe Just Hits Dingers

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a double and home run Monday against the New York Mets.

Leonys Martin Expected Back Tuesday

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that outfielder Leonys Martin (hamstring) was feeling good on Monday and will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Martin has missed the last two games with a tight hamstring, but the injury isn't very serious. The left-handed hitter is batting just .209/.300/.383 with five home runs and eight […]

Nicholas Castellanos Looks To Extend Nine-Game Hitting Streak

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos will look to extend his nine-game hitting streak Tuesday against the Angels and starting pitcher Griffin Canning. During the current hot streak, Castellanos has four multi-hit games, two home runs, and five RBI. Canning is a young righty with just one previous career start, in which he allowed three […]

Andrew Stevenson Leaves Game Early

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson left the game early on Monday due to back spasms. It's unclear if this injury will force Stevenson to miss extensive time. He was hitless in two plate appearances with a strikeout and has three hits in 15 plate appearances as a reserve so far this season. He's not even […]
