Alex Verdugo Likely To Be The Odd Man Out

New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo made the start in left field while batting ninth on Monday in the series opener at Yankee Stadium against the visiting Kansas City Royals, but it seems likely that he's going to be the odd man out in New York's outfield with prospect Jasson Dominguez being called up from […]

Jo Adell Moved To 60-Day Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels moved outfielder Jo Adell (oblique) to the 60-day injured list on Monday, officially putting an end to his 2024 season. In corresponding moves, the Angels selected the contract of left-hander Jose Suarez and optioned right-hander Hans Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake after Sunday's game. Adell was never really a realistic candidate […]

Byron Buxton Making Progress

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) said even after his exit from a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A St. Paul last Wednesday, he has been running fine for the last few days and was able to get out and work on defense as well. Buxton is taking things day by day for now but is […]

Willi Castro Leaves Early On Monday With Illness

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (illness) left Monday night's game early against the Los Angeles Angels at Target Field due to an undisclosed illness. Michael Helman replaced Castro in center field before he even saw his first at-bat of the game in the seven-hole. Fantasy managers can probably consider Castro day-to-day this week and should […]

Teoscar Hernandez Remains Out On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez has been sidelined since exiting early during Friday's contest due to an ankle injury. The X-rays came back negative, so the team is calling it a left ankle contusion. The hope is that […]

TJ Friedl Returns Against Atlanta

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl is back in center field and is batting cleanup on Monday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Charlie Morton at Truist Park for the series opener. Friedl left Saturday's game early against the New York Mets after he was experiencing shortness of breath. He sat out of the series finale […]

Cedric Mullins Hitting Second Against Red Sox

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is starting in center field and is batting out of the two-hole on Monday at Fenway Park against the division-rival Boston Red Sox and right-hander Brayan Bello. With Mullins starting to swing the bat well in September, they are moving him up to his highest lineup spot of the year […]

Yankees Recall Jasson Dominguez From Triple-A

The New York Yankees recalled outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and also placed infielder DJ LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list with a right-hip impingement. The Yankees also reinstated infielder Jon Berti (calf) from the 60-day IL and designated left-hander Anthony Misiewicz for assignment. Dominguez, the club's top prospect, is […]

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad (concussion) begin a minor-league rehab assignment on Saturday with High-A Aberdeen and has gone 2-for-5 with a walk and a run scored in his first two games.
