Lewis Brinson Optioned, Garrett Cooper Activated

The Miami Marlins optioned outfielder Lewis Brinson to Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday and activated first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (calf) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Brinson was hitting just .197/.247/.263 with five doubles and no home runs in 27 games, and he's fanned 28 times and walked twice in 82 plate appearances. […]

Odubel Herrera Close To Returning

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera (hamstring) thinks he's five to seven days away from returning to the team. Herrera will return to center field duties when he's ready, moving Andrew McCutchen back to left field. Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr have seen some more playing time with Herrera sidelined. The 27-year-old was hitting .270/.319/.381 with […]

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 […]

Ender Inciarte Out Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) is not playing on Tuesday after leaving the game with right hamstring tightness on Monday. Adding injury to insult, Inciarte is batting .236 (21-for-89) with two home runs, six RBI and three steals on the season. Hitting lower in the order is definitely hurting his fantasy ceiling, and there […]

Nick Senzel Expected To Be Called Up Soon

The Cincinnati Reds are thinking of promoting their top prospect, third baseman/outfielder Nick Senzel, to the majors soon. The move could come as soon as Friday when the team returns home. Senzel has adjusted nicely to center field at Triple-A Louisville and was the No. 2 overall pick in 2016. The 23-year-old will be an […]

Eloy Jimenez Not Wearing Walking Boot

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) was not wearing a protective boot on his right foot while he played catch on Monday. The team's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was put on the 10-day injured list with a high right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 22-year-old outfielder has […]

Luis Robert Promoted To Double-A

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert has been promoted to Double-A Birmingham. Robert, the team's No. 4 prospect and No. 37 overall per MLB Pipeline, absolutely demolished Single-A pitching by hitting a ridiculous .453/.512/.920 with eight home runs, 24 RBI and eight stolen bases in only 19 games for High-A Winston-Salem. The Cuban native is […]

Andrew Toles Still On Restricted List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles reported to the team's spring training complex in Arizona this week, but he remains on the restricted list and off the 40-man roster. Toles never reported to spring training due to personal issues, and the team hasn't commented on the specifics of his absence or given a timetable on […]

Jorge Soler Hammers Seventh Home Run

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler continues to live the Casey At The Bat mentality as he came to the plate four times on Monday, struck out in three of them, and blasted a mammoth home run in the other one. Soler's solo shot came at a critical time as it brought KC back within […]

Nicholas Castellanos Warming Up As Of Late

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos has largely had fantasy owners scratching their heads through the first month of the season, but the veteran slugger finally seems to be warming up and finding his power stroke. Over the last six games, Castellanos has put together a .280/.357/.560 line with two homers, a double and four […]

Ender Inciarte Leaves With Hammy Injury

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte exited Monday's game against the San Diego Padres in the third inning with right hamstring tightness. The Braves said the move was precautionary. In Inciarte's absence, expect Johan Camargo to see more playing time in the outfield. Camargo has struggled in limited opportunities so far this season. However, as an […]

Khris Davis Taking Reps In The Outfield

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis has been taking reps in the outfield on the road trip, as he prepares himself to play in left field. The A's will play three games in a National League park against the Pittsburgh Pirates starting on Friday, and manager Bob Melvin wants to keep the powerful stick of […]

Mark Canha Lands On Injured List, Ryan Buchter Recalled

The Oakland Athletics placed first baseman/outfielder Mark Canha (wrist) on the 10-day injured list before Monday's game in Boston due to a sprained right wrist suffered over the weekend. In the corresponding move, the team moved to recall reliever Ryan Buchter from Triple-A Las Vegas. Canha flew to Los Angeles on Monday and he will […]

Two More Hits For Cody Bellinger As He Continues To Mash

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger went 2-for-3 with a walk, RBI and a strikeout in Monday's 3-2 road loss against the San Francisco Giants. It's amazing that fantasy owners and DFS players are likely complaining about the night, that's how hot Bellinger has been. He is slashing a ridiculous .434/.508/.906 and he has […]

Jesse Winker Hits Eighth Homer

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Monday. Winker has now set a career high with eight homers in a little over a month of action. Overall, the young outfielder is slashing .239/.316/.534 with the eight homers, 16 runs and 13 […]

Jordan Luplow Recalled, Greg Allen Sent Down

The Cleveland Indians recalled outfielder Jordan Luplow from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday and optioned outfielder Greg Allen to Columbus in a corresponding move. Allen was hitting a putrid .105 with two doubles and six RBI in 19 games this year while striking out 14 times and walking twice. He's a better defender and base runner, […]

Clint Frazier Working His Way Back

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (ankle) hit and ran on the treadmill on Sunday. He's expected to run on the field in Arizona this week and is close to a return from the injured list. Barring setbacks, Frazier could make it back from the injured list before any of Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks and […]

A.J. Pollock Likely Going On DL

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder A.J. Pollock has an infection in his right elbow and will likely go on the injured list. Pollock sat out on Monday and is batting just .223/.287/.330 with two home runs and 14 RBI in 103 at-bats in his first season for the Blue. It's unclear […]

Christin Stewart Starting Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart (quadriceps) started his rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Sunday, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Stewart initially suffered a right quad strain on April 17. The 25-year-old was hitting .222 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 16 games this year for Detroit, and he'll likely return to an […]

Billy Hamilton Expected Back Tuesday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) was available in an emergency on Monday and is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday, according to manager Ned Yost. Hamilton left the game early last Saturday with right hamstring tightness and hasn't played since. The speedster is hitting just .216/.298/.284 with no homers, 12 runs, […]

Yoenis Cespedes Plays Catch, Hits in Cage

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes joined the big league club in New York on Monday, participating in batting practice. While he wasn't hitting alongside his teammates, he played catch. Additionally, Cespedes has been hitting in the batting cage. The 33-year-old is recovering from a pair of heel surgeries, which took place last August and […]

Steven Duggar Could Return Soon

San Francisco Giants outfielder Steven Duggar (wrist) has been healing well but wasn't in the starting lineup on Monday. Manager Bruce Bochy said the team is just being cautious, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Duggar back in there on Tuesday. Duggar jammed his right wrist last Friday and hasn't played since. He's […]

Trey Mancini Feeling Better

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini has been out since Saturday with a bruised right index finger, but he is feeling better and expects to be back in the lineup as soon as Tuesday. However, manager Brandon Hyde said the team is being cautious and will consider the cooler temperatures in Chicago the next few days. […]

A.J. Pollock is Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Pollock has been cold to start the season, so the Dodgers will elect to go with the hot bat here. Alex Verdugo will play center field and bat seventh versus righty Jeff Samardzija. Verdugo […]

Christian Yelich Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Yelich exited early on Sunday after tweaking his back while running the bases. The good news is, Yelich is considered day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the 10-day injured list. Ben Gamel will cover right field […]

Wil Myers Resting on Monday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. It appears the Padres are just giving Myers a normal day off. Hunter Renfroe will bat fifth and play left field versus righty Mike Soroka. DFS players can avoid most of the Padres hitters because […]

Dexter Fowler is Sitting Out on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The Cardinals have too many outfielders and not enough spots, so someone has to sit out. Harrison Bader will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Bader won't have much fantasy upside […]

Kole Calhoun Has Three Home Runs In Last Five Games

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is beginning to hit the ball with more authority, posting four extra-base hits over his last five games. Three of those hits have left the yard as Calhoun tries to make up for lost time after a dismal start to his season. The Angels have deployed Calhoun in the […]

Mike Trout Beginning To Snap Out Of Slump

Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with two runs scored against the Royals on Sunday. Trout has not been himself at the plate since returning from a groin injury but is 5-for-16 (.312) over his last four games heading into this week. A lot is expected of Trout from a fantasy perspective but, thus […]
