Mookie Betts Available Off Bench on Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts is eligible to come off the bench on Monday after missing his second straight start with a hamstring injury. It appears that manager Alex Cora is being cautious with his star outfielder, and Betts could return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. Betts has been on a tear in […]

Alex Verdugo's Playing Time To Increase

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo will likely see his playing time increase due to starting shortstop Corey Seager's (elbow) season-ending surgery. Chris Taylor, who normally mans center field, will get the bulk of the starts at short in Seager's place. That opens up a spot in the outfield, especially with the recent injury to […]

Aaron Judge Sitting on Monday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak, and he's getting bumped up to the No. 2 spot in the order as a reward. Soler has spent most of the season hitting in the four or five hole due to his reputation as a slugger, but he's altered […]

Noel Cuevas Starting On Monday

Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Noel Cuevas is getting the start on Monday over returning veteran Carlos Gonzalez.

Cuevas hasn't done much to impress while CarGo was on the DL, […]

Ian Desmond Leading Off On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder/first baseman Ian Desmond is penciled in to hit leadoff for the team on Monday. Desmond hasn't hit leadoff in a game since 2016, when he led off for the Rangers for three games. If asking why Desmond, a .188 hitter in 2018, is hitting leadoff, it's because he's triple-slashing .324/.405/.622 against lefties […]

Randal Grichuk To Disabled List

The Toronto Blue Jays are placing outfielder Randal Grichuk on the disabled list due to a right knee sprain, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals second baseman/outfielder Howie Kendrick homered twice over the weekend and extended his hitting streak to seven games in the process.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (wrist) expects to be back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game. Fowler injured his wrist on Saturday while tumbling into the stands chasing a fly ball, leading him to sit out Sunday's game. He had some soreness, but no damage.

Michael Brantley Out of the Lineup on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game. With Texas Rangers lefty Cole Hamels on the mound, Cleveland's lineup is very righty-heavy.
