Willie Calhoun Starting, Ryan Rua Sitting

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun will return to the lineup Tuesday as the team's left fielder. Calhoun will take the spot of Ryan Rua, and it appears these two may be in a platoon for the foreseeable future. Calhoun has not had a great season for power in the minors in 2018. However, in 2017 […]

Jesse Winker Sitting With Shoulder Injury Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is out of the team's lineup on Tuesday with a sore shoulder. Currently he is being deemed as day-to-day with no further word on the severity of the injury. He'll be replaced in left by Adam Duvall who is batting fifth. Duvall has shown his power potential in the past […]

Joey Gallo Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (ankle) will return to the lineup Tuesday. Gallo originally injured himself Sunday, and sat out of the game Monday. However, it appears that the Rangers were just being cautious as Gallo is healthy enough to man right field once again on Tuesday, and should now be considered fully healthy unless […]

Delino DeShields Optioned To Triple-A

Texas Rangers center fielder Delino DeShields has been optioned to Triple-A. DeShields has struggled to hit this season, with a .204 batting average in 322 plate appearances. However, this move has come as somewhat of a shock. Carlos Tocci will likely take over as the main center fielder initially, although he is hitting just .105 […]

Mitch Garver, Logan Morrison Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver and designated hitter Logan Morrison are both out of the lineup on Tuesday. Backup catcher Bobby Wilson will be behind the plate to catch for Jose Berrios in Garver's stead. Robbie Grossman will serve as DH, while Taylor Motter will man right field alongside outfielders Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler. […]

Austin Hays Doing Baseball Activities

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (ankle) has done baseball activities at Double-A Bowie the last couple of days and is improving. He will join Single-A Aberdeen soon on a minor league assignment. Hays last played for Bowie on May 24, so he's been out a while. MLB.com lists Hays as the team's third overall prospect, […]

Aaron Hicks Sitting On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will not be in the lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. The outfield will instead consist of Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton. Taking Hicks' place in the lineup will be Brandon Drury, who will man second base. Drury has been revealed as a potential trade […]

Indians Claim Johnny Field Off Waivers

The Cleveland Indians have claimed outfielder Johnny Field off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays and have assigned him to Triple-A. Field is capable of playing all three outfield positions and has hit .213 with six home runs, 14 RBI and four stolen bases in 2018. Cleveland has stated that they're interested in acquiring […]

Brian Goodwin Has Strong KC Debut

Newly acquired Kansas City Royals outfielder Brian Goodwin got his first taste of action in the blue and white on Monday, and he came through with a pair of singles in his two at-bats. The team traded for the 27-year-old on Sunday in hopes that he may be their shot-in-the-dark answer at center field for […]

Yoenis Cespedes Likely Headed to DL

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (heels) met with a foot specialist and had an MRI on Monday. The Mets are waiting for a second opinion, but the expectation is that Cespedes will head back to the disabled list. Nothing is official, but it does not seem like Cespedes plans to play through the injury. […]

Cameron Maybin Not in The Lineup Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Cameron Maybin (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He is normally a starting outfielder in Miami, but will receive a rest day on Tuesday. Magneuris Sierra will draw the start in center field and bat eighth against righty Julio Teheran. Sierra could be an […]

Magneuris Sierra Recalled, Starting on Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Magneuris Sierra has been recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday. He is taking the place of Garrett Cooper (wrist) on the Marlins active roster. Sierra was acquired by the Marlins during the Marcell Ozuna. He was hitting .260/.287/.341 with two homers and 14 steals during 86 games in Triple A this […]

Orioles Discussed Yasiel Puig for Zach Britton

The Baltimore Orioles continue to search for a new home for relief pitcher Zach Britton as the trade deadline approaches. The Los Angeles Dodgers have discussed a trade in which Yasiel Puig would head to Baltimore in exchange for Britton. The Dodgers want to stay under luxury-tax threshold, so moving Puig's salary in exchange for […]

Joc Pederson On Fire To Start Second Half

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson continued to crush the baseball in the second half of the season in Monday's 7-6 win over the Phillies, going 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, and a walk. Pederson's 14th blast of the season was a laser into the right-field seats off a fourth-inning Yacksel Rios […]

Eddie Rosario's Cold Streak Continues

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario had a rare 0-for-5 performance at the plate on Monday, but the Twins were able to win 8-3 regardless. Rosario has been one of the most productive players in baseball — both in fantasy and real life — since the start of the season, but it seems he's finally reached […]

Stephen Piscotty's Offensive Barrage Continues

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty continued his success at the plate with his 13th homer of the season Monday in Texas. He added a double (27th) and finished the night 2-for-4 with two runs and three RBI. Piscotty has continued to regain his old swing path and the success has followed. In the last 30 […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 17

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Giancarlo Stanton’s Heroics Not Enough

If there’s one opposing player the Tampa Bay Rays do not want to face at home at the moment, it’s New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. The 2017 NL MVP recorded four hits in four tries Monday night, now having recorded nine consecutive hits at Tropicana Field. He had one last plate appearance in the ninth […]

Magneuris Sierra To Be Called Up

The Miami Marlins will call up outfielder Magneuris Sierra from the minors on Tuesday to replace outfielder Garrett Cooper (hand) on the roster. Sierra came over to Miami in the deal that sent Marcell Ozuna to the Cardinals in the offseason. In 86 games for Triple-A New Orleans in 2018, Sierra has hit .260/.287/.341 with […]

Ender Inciarte Plates Two Runs To Help Braves Romp

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is still not known for being a run producer. Still, if you stick him in your lineup for his speed, sometimes you'll get an added bonus if he has a good game. Monday night was one of those occasions, what with him driving in two runs. He now has 36 […]

Avisail Garcia Scratched From Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (illness) has been scratched from the lineup on Monday. Leury Garcia is starting in right field and is hitting sixth against Angels starter Jaime Barria. Garcia could be a DFS sleeper Monday night. He's batting a respectable .282 with four home runs, 21 RBI and 10 stolen bases over […]

Jose Bautista, Devin Mesoraco Receiving Interest

New York Mets outfielder Jose Bautista and catcher Devin Mesoraco are receiving trade interest. Both players will be free agents after this year, so they won't fetch much in any trade. Joey Bats has picked it up a bit since landing with the Mets, hitting .235 with five home runs and 22 RBI in 51 […]

Matt Joyce Resumes Baseball Activities

Oakland Athletics outfielder Matt Joyce (back) resumed baseball activities on Monday. Joyce will turn 34 soon and doesn't appear to be close to a return. He was hitting just .203 with seven home runs and 13 RBI in 192 at-bats. Joyce is really only an option in deep AL-only leagues when the A's are facing […]

Jason Heyward is Not Starting Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Heyward will get the night off, while Ian Happ, Albert Almora, and Ben Zobrist cover the outfield for the Cubs on Monday. It's not surprising to see Heyward get the night off against lefty Patrick Corbin. […]

Garrett Cooper Out 2-4 Weeks

Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper (hand) will see a hand specialist later this week but is expected to miss a minimum of two to four weeks due to a hand injury, according to a source. It's believed to be related to the injury that kept him out for months earlier this year. Cooper was hitting […]

Mark Canha Back in the Lineup on Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Monday after sitting out on Sunday due to hamstring cramps. Canha was reportedly available off the bench on Sunday, but didn't play. He's been seeing regular playing time lately, so he could be an interesting option in AL-only and deep leagues. Canha […]

Eric Thames Expected to Come Off DL Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (hamstring) said he's ready to come off the disabled list when his 10-day stint expires on Tuesday. Thames has missed six straight games, but could be back in the lineup for their next game. That would be a huge addition with Jesus Aguilar (hamstring) sitting out right now. Fantasy […]
