Scott Heineman Activated From Disabled List

Texas Rangers outfielder Scott Heineman (left shoulder) has been activated off the disabled list at Triple-A. The injury has prevented Heineman from being considered as a potential call-up these last couple of week. Heineman has had a good season at Triple-A, with a .292 batting average, seven home runs and 15 stolen bases in 382 […]

Drew Robinson Added To Major League Roster

Texas Rangers utility player Drew Robinson was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. With Delino DeShields heading to the disabled list, joining Ryan Rua and Nomar Mazara, the Rangers needed some flexibility on their roster. Robinson provides that, being able to cover all outfield and most infield positions. Robinson hit just .175 to start the season […]

Delino DeShields Placed On 7-Day DL

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields has been placed on the 7-Day disabled list with post-concussion syndrome. DeShields was scratched from Fridays lineup with headaches. This is the first time DeShields has suffered from headaches since he injured his head and neck July 11 against the Red Sox. It has been a tough year for DeShields, […]

Bryce Harper Leaves Game With Injury

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper (leg) was removed from Saturday's contest after reportedly "limping" around the outfield. Harper was struck in the leg by a pitch during his at-bat and was replaced by Adam Eaton after failing to chase down a fly ball. He is likely undergoing tests to determine the severity but from what it […]

Tyler O'Neill Scratched, Jose Martinez Starting

Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (groin) has been scratched from Saturday's lineup due to groin discomfort. There were no reports of an injury for O'Neill up until today, so he may only be day-to-day. The Cardinals outfield had already been worn thin with the departure of Tommy Pham and injury to Dexter Fowler. Now with O'Neill […]

Mike Trout Out of Saturday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) is not in Saturday's lineup. Trout had said he expected to return on Saturday, but he was unable to swing a bat prior to the game and was instead held out. He is still day-to-day, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out all weekend.

Corey Dickerson Reinstated, Not in Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday. Adam Frazier will start in left field, however. Frazier has been a decent replacement for Dickerson, but Dickerson is batting .318 with 11 homers and 44 RBI. He had a six-game hitting streak just before being placed on the disabled list with […]

Joc Pederson Hits Another Home Run Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson flexed his muscle once again in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Astros, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run. Pederson got the game going, hitting a leadoff bomb over the right-field wall for his 17th HR of the season. The 26-year-old now has three HR in his last two […]

Wil Myers Placed On DL

The San Diego Padres placed outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers (foot) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday with a left foot contusion/bone bruise. The move is retroactive to Aug. 3. Outfielder Franmil Reyes was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Myers has struggled this year with injuries but has been pretty solid […]

Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller's Staff League

Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason. Most of the scoring formats are more advanced, there are intense roster requirements and it’s a year-round commitment. It warrants constant monitoring and tinkering to fully optimize your lineup, and the innings restrictions per roster slot certainly force you to make some […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 19

The deals are finally done, or at least most of the ones that matter. You've probably read our MLB Trade Deadline breakdown by now, but it's time to get deeper by looking at some of the names that weren't making headline news over the past week. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who […]

Dexter Fowler Has Fractured Foot

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (foot) was diagnosed with a fractured left foot and will go on the disabled list. It will give Fowler a much-needed break, as he is hitting a rough .180/.278/.298 with eight home runs and 31 RBI in 334 plate appearances this year. It's unknown how long Fowler will need […]

Dexter Fowler Injured Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (leg) was helped off the field on Friday after he came up limping after reaching third base. Fowler had two hits in five plate appearances on Friday with one RBI, and his season average sits at a putrid .180. He has only eight home runs, 31 RBI and five […]

Chris Young Done For The Season

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Chris Young (hips) has been diagnosed with labral tears in both of his hips and will be out for the rest of the season. He had surgery on his right hip on Friday and will undergo surgery on the left hip at a later date. Young wasn't fantasy relevant to begin […]

Kevin Pillar Activated From DL

The Toronto Blue Jays activated outfielder Kevin Pillar (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list on Friday. Pitcher Brandon Cumpton was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Pillar immediately returned to center field and was hitting ninth on Friday. The defensive whiz started the year off hot at the plate but began fading before […]

Steven Souza Jr. Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Souza will get a day off after playing in four straight contests. Jon Jay will lead off and play right field against righty Chris Stratton. Jay is hitting .391/.417/.522 over the last week, so […]

Delino DeShields Scratched From Lineup on Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields (head) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Friday. DeShields is reportedly battling a headache, so he'll sit out of Friday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. Carlos Tocci will bat ninth and play center field against righty David Hess. However, Tocci is not much of a fantasy option and […]

Dee Gordon is in the Lineup on Friday

Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Dee Gordon (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It was unclear whether or not Gordon would start on Friday after he suffered an ankle injury on Thursday. Gordon will lead off and play second base against lefty Ryan Borucki on Friday.

Ryan Braun is Out of the Lineup Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/first baseman Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. The Brewers stacked up on hitters during the last couple of weeks, so Braun is just the odd man out on Friday. Eric Thames will play right field and bat seventh against righty German Marquez. […]

Jose Bautista Starting at First Base, Wilmer Flores Sitting

New York Mets corner infielder/outfielder Jose Bautista will draw the start at first base and bat second against righty Anibal Sanchez on Friday. Bautista has not played much first base during his career, but he'll get an opportunity with Wilmer Flores (rest) out of the starting lineup. This seems like a favorable matchup for Bautista, […]

Tyler O'Neill Starting, Harrison Bader Sitting

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill will bat fifth and play center field against Pittsburgh Pirates righty Chris Archer on Friday. Harrison Bader who started on Thursday will get the day off on Friday. It appears that O'Neill and Bader are going to split time in center field for the rest of the season. That […]

Mike Trout 'Pretty Sure' He Will Play Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) said he is 'pretty sure' he will be able to suit up on Saturday. Trout is out of the lineup again on Friday, his second straight absence. Expect Trout to be back in action on Saturday, or Sunday at the latest as the team may exercise caution with […]

Lonnie Chisenhall Progressing In Rehab

Cleveland Indians outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) has progressed to running on a treadmill and has also done tee work and has thrown on the field. Chisenhall isn't expected to be back before September, but he could still contribute down the stretch and will likely see a lot of playing time when he returns. After all, […]

Chris Owings Optioned, Andrew Chafin Activated

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Chris Owings has been optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday. Owings is hitting .198/.267/.287 this season and has continued to struggle throughout the 2018 season. Relief pitcher Andrew Chafin has been activated off paternity leave on Friday. He's been solid out of the bullpen for Arizona, but does not hold much fantasy […]

Mike Trout Still Out Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) is out of the lineup for the second straight day on Friday. The Angels are likely being cautious with their superstar. Expect to see Trout return to the lineup sometime this weekend. Outfielder Eric Young Jr. is once again in center field and is hitting ninth against Indians […]

Gerardo Parra Snaps Out Of Slump

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra is definitely out of his slump now. After wasting away for nearly a month, Parra went off on the Cardinals pitcher staff over the course of their four-game set. Parra finished the series 8-for-16 with a pair of doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored. The 31-year-old outfielder capped off […]

Ramon Laureano Officially Promoted

Oakland Athletics outfield prospect Ramon Laureano officially was called up from the minors on Friday. Laureano has performed well at Triple-A Nashville this year, slashing .297/.380/.524 with 14 home runs, 35 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 64 games. The team's No. 21 prospect could see decent playing time with Dustin Fowler now in the […]
