Jackson Chourio Hits Grand Slam Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio continued his torrid offensive second half in Monday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals. Chourio went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and three walks. The 20-year-old rookie clobbered a sixth-inning Riley O'Brien slider deep into the left-center seats to clear the bases for his 18th long ball of the season. The […]

Jasson Dominguez Still "Very Much In Play" For Promotion

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said it's still "very much in play" that outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez gets called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. "Frankly, there's probably no one higher on Jasson Dominguez than me. He's very much in the mix, but we're not ready to make that move yet," Boone said. Dominguez was not […]

Max Kepler Scratched On Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (undisclosed) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The team hasn't given a reason why Kepler was scratched, but it's probably related to his lingering knee issue. For now, fantasy managers should consider Kepler as day-to-day until further notice. Carlos Santana […]

Byron Buxton Starting Rehab Assignment On Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Monday and will play center field. Buxton has been sidelined since the middle of August with a hip injury, but he's getting close to a return and could rejoin the big-league roster later this week, barring a setback […]

Kyle Tucker Has Been Dealing With Fractured Shin

According to three people briefed on the matter, Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) suffered a fractured shin early on June 3 against the St. Louis Cardinals, which has caused him to miss nearly three months.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Not Playing On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (calf) is out of the team's starting lineup for the series finale on Monday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field. Pavin Smith will make the start in left field for the Snakes and will hit fifth against Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty. Gurriel will take a seat […]

Jake Meyers Goes On Paternity List, Chas McCormick Back Up

The Houston Astros placed outfielder Jake Meyers on the paternity list on Monday and recalled outfielder Chas McCormick from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Meyers will most likely be away from the team for the next three days while he attends to family matters, so fantasy managers probably won't have him available for […]

Coby Mayo, Eloy Jimenez Sitting Against White Sox

Baltimore Orioles rookie third baseman Coby Mayo and outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez will both start Monday's game on the bench against the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards. Emmanuel Rivera will get the start at third base and will bat ninth, while Austin Slater will start in right field and bat seventh against White Sox […]

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Victor Scott II is heading to the bench for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field with Michael Siani (oblique) returning to center-field duties.

Alvarez is coming off a three-homer game on Wednesday and came into this one with a slash line of .382/.481/.697 in August. It's safe to say he's […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar had a huge game on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a homer and five RBI. Nootbaar added a double and two runs scored in what was his best game of the season. While it was a great game, the 26-year-old just hasn't been able to live up to the potential […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker had the best game of his career on Sunday, going 5-for-5 with a homer, four runs scored, three RBI, and a stolen base. Walker improved his AVG from .143 to .195 and his OPS from .439 to .566 in this game alone. It's been a difficult season for the […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Removed Early On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (calf) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran slugger suffered a left calf injury while attempting to run out a double play in the sixth inning. As a result, Gurriel was removed from the game and is expected to undergo further […]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser is not in Sunday's lineup as the Orioles look to clinch a series victory against the Colorado Rockies.

It appears some time off might've helped […]

Kyle Tucker Extremely Close To Return

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) is reportedly really close to coming off the injured list, according to manager Joe Espada.
