Mickey Moniak To Miss Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This is the third straight game that Moniak has missed due to back tightness. For now, Moniak is considered as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. In […]

Austin Meadows Shut Down For The Season

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows will be shut down for the rest of the 2023 season, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 28-year-old has been away from the team since early April due to mental health reasons. He continues to undergo treatment for his anxiety near his home in Florida. The Tigers aren't in the […]

Tyler O'Neill To The Bench On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It doesn't appear that O'Neill is dealing with an injury, so this is probably just a routine rest day. O'Neill is 8-for-21 at the plate with two home runs and five RBI since the beginning of […]

Evan Carter Heads To The Bench

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 21-year-old top prospect made his MLB debut during Friday's game. Carter went 1-for-3 with a stolen base during his first big league contest. The assumption is that he'll play regularly, so it's a bit odd to […]

Alek Thomas Out Of The Lineup Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is not in the starting lineup Saturday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs. The 23-year-old started in center field on Friday and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in his team's narrow 1-0 win but Corbin Carroll will take over center field duties on Saturday afternoon. Although he boasts excellent defense, […]

Mickey Moniak To Miss Another Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Moniak was scratched ahead of Thursday's contest due to back tightness. It appears he's still dealing with the issue, so he'll miss at least one more game. The fact he hasn't been placed on the […]

Joey Gallo Heads To The Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The left-handed slugger will miss some time due to a left foot contusion. The organization hasn't given a timetable for Gallo's return to the field. At this point, Gallo could very well be on the injured list for the […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Miss Weekend Series

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) remains sore and is expected to miss the upcoming weekend series versus the Washington Nationals. Betts was spotted on crutches Thursday after fouling a ball off his left foot, and while X-rays came back negative, he'll need a couple of games off. Manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that […]

Byron Buxton Meeting With Team To Discuss Rehab

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (right knee) is scheduled to meet with the front office and medical staff on Friday, per Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Buxton has been on the injured list since Aug. 1 and recently had his rehab assignment paused due to an injury setback. The 29-year-old is a key contributor […]

It feels like the 2023 season just started, but now here we are with my last in-season Top-500 prospect rankings update. While the season is winding down, endless work is going into these rankings to try and make them the best they can be. It might be September, but now is not the time to […]

Steven Kwan Tallies Three Hits Thursday

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan had himself a night on Thursday, recording three hits, all singles, in four at-bats with a walk and a run. After an excellent rookie campaign in 2022 in which he hit .298 with a .773 OPS, the 26-year-old hasn't been as productive this season, slashing .271/.338/.373 with five home runs, […]

Mickey Moniak Scratched With Back Tightness

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak was scratched from Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with back tightness. Moniak was initially in the lineup as the center fielder, hitting sixth in the order, but was taken out and replaced by Brett Phillips. There hasn't been any news about the severity of the issue, so Moniak's […]

Mookie Betts Leaves Thursday's Game Early

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/second baseman Mookie Betts was taken out of Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins in the eighth inning after fouling a ball off his foot in his first at-bat of the game. Betts was able to play most of the game, so the move seems precautionary with the Dodgers holding a commanding […]

Top Waiver Wire Hitters For Batting Average - Fantasy Baseball Outlook

September is here, which means there is less than a month left in the fantasy baseball season. With such little time remaining for managers to adjust rosters, each add from the waiver wire has to be thought out and serve a specific purpose.  Managers looking to get a leg up in the batting average category […]

Kyle Schwarber Clubs 41st Homer Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 with his 41st home run of the season, an RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout in the team's 5-1 win on the road in San Diego over the Padres on Wednesday. Schwarber led off the game with a towering blast, and it was his […]

Jarred Kelenic's Activation Is Imminent

Seattle Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said that outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is close to being activated from the injured list. "I don't suspect it is going to be too much longer. Could be any day now. It's also we're 3,000 miles away and I'm not sure it is the appropriate thing to […]

Diamondbacks Plan To Play Corbin Carroll Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (wrist) left in the fifth inning of Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies with a right-wrist contusion after he was hit by a fastball from pitcher Gavin Hollowell in the fourth inning. X-rays came back negative, though, and manager Torey Lovullo said he plans to play Carroll on Thursday against […]

Rangers Considering Calling Up Evan Carter

The Texas Rangers are considering calling up outfield prospect Evan Carter, their top prospect per MLB Pipeline, from Triple-A Round Rock. Carter's promotion was under consideration before All-Star outfielder Adolis Garcia (knee) was removed from Wednesday's contest with a right-knee injury, so Carter's odds of joining the big-league club have only increased. The struggling Rangers […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/7/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We have a pretty good Thursday slate on tap and I would like to open this up by thanking DraftKings and FanDuel for not being total tools an chopping off the first two games that start 20 minutes early. This six-game slate looks a lot better as one than four games and two games. This […]

Jarred Kelenic Looks Ready To Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, an RBI, two runs scored and two strikeouts in a minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday night while also playing a full game in right field for the second straight day. The 24-year-old has gone 4-for-9 in the last […]

Cody Bellinger Homers Again Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and his 24th home run in a win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday afternoon. Bellinger's OPS now sits at .920 and has played like a borderline top-five outfielder this season and may only be behind Freddie Freeman at first base […]

Adolis Garcia Leaves Early With Injury

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia left the game against the Houston Astros early Wednesday night with right knee discomfort. Garcia lept to rob a Michael Brantley home run and stayed down for a few moments. It'd be a tough blow for the Rangers and fantasy managers alike if he has to miss time, as Garcia […]

Cedric Mullins Remains Out On Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 28-year-old will miss his second game in a row with the O's facing back-to-back left-handed starters. The O's will deploy Austin Hays, Aaron Hicks, and Anthony Santander will the outfield versus lefty Patrick Sandoval on […]

Chas McCormick Heads To The Bench

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This is odd timing considering McCormick has been red-hot at the plate recently. The 28-year-old currently holds a seven-game hitting streak where he's gone 11-for-21 at the plate during that time. The assumption is that he'll return […]

Corbin Carroll Removed Early On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (wrist) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 23-year-old was pulled from the contest after being hit by a pitch in the wrist on Wednesday. The team is calling the injury a wrist contusion, so it could've been worse. It appears Carroll has avoided serious injury, […]
