Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock (thumb) had an MRI confirm that his fracture has not fully healed.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Ben Gamel has turned his season around at the plate, going 15-for-38 (.405) over his last 11 games played.

Byron Buxton Resting Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in his team's lineup against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. The speedy outfielder is really struggling at the plate this season, batting .159 in 27 games and logging just six hits in his last 47 at-bats, so he could probably use the day off to clear his […]

Jonathan Villar To Rest Tuesday Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar (rest) will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. After Villar looked to have taken the everyday second base role in the middle of May when he started in six straight games at second base, he has now rested in three of his […]

Domingo Santana To Sit Again On Tuesday Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana (rest) will remain absent from the lineup on Tuesday for Game 2 against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Dexter Fowler Out Again on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game. Fowler hasn't been in the lineup since he was hit by a pitch on Saturday, but the fact that he hasn't been placed on the disabled list yet implies he's not too far from making his return. Harrison Bader […]

Jayson Werth Remains In Minor Leagues

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jayson Werth will remain in the Mariners organization after the team extended his opt-out date due to Werth dealing with a hamstring injury.

Mookie Betts Remains Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts will miss his third straight game with side tightness on Tuesday night when the Red Sox take on the Toronto Blue Jays.

Rhys Hoskins Has "Big Cut" On Lip

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins has a "big cut" on his lip following Monday's game. Manager Gabe Kapler is "not overly concerned."

Carlos Gonzalez Smacks Two Hits Again

With a pair of hits on Monday, Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez has racked up a pair of multi-hit games in a row for just the second time this season. A huge Sunday that included a 4-for-4 day and a home run was the precursor to a pair of singles on Monday that got people […]

Teoscar Hernandez May Be Waking Up

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was filling up the stat sheet when he was called up in early April, only to struggle mightily thereafter while enduring severe contact-rate issues. Lately, though, he’s shown some improvement despite not setting the world on fire again. In an 8-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday, […]

Brandon Nimmo Quietly Producing Nicely

The New York Mets were happy to give outfielder Brandon Nimmo a chance to play every day with injuries in their outfield, and he is certainly rewarding them immensely for it. In the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on Monday, Nimmo finished 1-for-5 with a home run in the 8-5 victory. It […]

Andrew Benintendi Provides Offensive Explosion

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi had a great night on Monday, coming a double short of hitting for the cycle in an 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. Most of his damage came with a three-run homer in the fourth inning off Aaron Sanchez. He finished the night 3-for-5 with a run and four […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 9

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 […]

Mallex Smith Is Hero Monday Versus Oakland; Brad Miller Is Fine

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Mallex Smith was the offensive hero Monday versus the Athletics. In a 0-0 game in the 13th inning, he would drive in the only run of the game. Before the game, he had been moved up into the leadoff spot when Brad Miller was taken out of the starting lineup. Miller […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 3-for-3 with three runs, one RBI, two walks (one intentional) and one stolen base in the 8-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
