Lawrence Butler Back in the Outfield on Monday

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is back in center field and will hit sixth in the batting order on Monday for the series opener in Atlanta against the Braves and right-hander Bryce Elder, according to MLB.com. Butler had a rough Opening Day in the walk-off loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last week while going 0-for-3, […]

Brewers Acquire Luis Matos From Giants on Monday

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired outfielder Luis Matos from the San Francisco Giants on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Brenton Doyle Gets the Day Off Amid Hitless Start to Season

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Leadoff hitter Jake McCarthy will patrol center field in his absence. Doyle has been off to a woeful start offensively, going 0-for-11 with one walk, one stolen base, and two strikeouts. His .168 xBA suggests he's […]

Noelvi Marte Out of Lineup Amid Slow Start

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Noelvi Marte is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marte started each of the first three games of the season, but he was slumping at the plate with a 0-for-6 line and four strikeouts. Given his slow start offensively, we're not surprised to see him get […]

Joey Wiemer Raking to Start 2026

Washington Nationals outfielder Joey Wiemer is off to a scorching start to the 2026 season, recording two home runs and four RBI in his first eight plate appearances of the year. The 27-year-old right-handed hitter currently appears limited to a short-side platoon role, as he was out of the starting lineup for his team's matchup […]

Spencer Jones Lanches First Long Ball of the Triple-A Season

New York Yankees top outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 1-for-3 with a home run during Sunday's contest against Triple-A Buffalo. This was his first long ball of the Triple-A regular season and also extended his hitting streak to three games. Jones was unlikely to break camp with the MLB roster given their depth in the […]

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Owen Caissie turned in an impressive showing in the team's opening series and has emerged as a viable waiver-wire target in deep five-outfielder leagues. Over Miami's first three games of the campaign, Caissie went 5-for-10 with two doubles, one home run, four RBI, and a stolen base. While he started the […]

Sal Frelick Worth a Look on the Early-Season Waiver Wire?

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick opened his 2026 season with a bang on Opening Day in Thursday's win over the Chicago White Sox with a rare home run. Frelick also went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's 9-7 victory over the White Sox, and he could be worth a look off […]

Tommy Edman, Enrique Hernandez Take Batting Practice

Los Angeles Dodgers utility men Tommy Edman (ankle) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow) were both able to take batting practice on the field on Sunday and are progressing well, manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of The California Post. The hope is that Edman can return in late May, but the team is also optimistic that […]

Dominic Canzone Could Be a Worth a Deep-League Roster Spot in 2026

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone is off to a hot start to the 2026 season, hitting two home runs in eight plate appearances across the team's first three games of the season. As expected, the lefty-hitting Canzone was out of the starting lineup for Seattle's matchup against Cleveland Guardians' left-handed starter Joey Cantillo on Sunday. […]

Chase DeLauter a Priority Early-Season Pickup After Scorching Start

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter is off to a red-hot start to the 2026 season, as he's hit four home runs in 14 plate appearances over his first three games of the year. The 24-year-old has also batted second in front of superstar Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez all three contests, a good sign for […]

Marcell Ozuna is Absent on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Marcell Ozuna (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Mets. This looks to be a routine rest day for Ozuna, who started the first two games of the season. Over that span, Ozuna is 1-for-9 with a walk, so a trip to the bench […]

Jake Fraley is Out with Shoulder Soreness

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jake Fraley (shoulder) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Fraley suffered a right shoulder injury while attempting to make a diving catch during Saturday's contest. Rays manager Kevin Cash hinted that the injury wasn't serious, so fantasy managers should consider Fraley as day-to-day. Jonny DeLuca will […]

Lawrence Butler Sitting Out Again Sunday

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. Butler started Opening Day but hasn't played since then. It's unclear if his absence is related to his pre-season knee injury or the fact that the A's have faced a left-handed pitcher on back-to-back days. Butler went […]
